![]() In this article by Nicole Lee, Lee discusses the current ability to have multiple identities through our different types of social media. This is an idea that's really prominent in my room. On the one hand, Audrey has her professional Linkedin in which she comes off as a hirable, dependable young woman. On the other, she has her Snapchat where she just takes pictures of random things like her friends Exorcist-crawling around our apartment. Clare has her Facebook for everyone she's ever met to view and then she has her Overwatch (a sci-fi shooter game) profile with lots of achievements listed and a cartoon avatar. Hannah has her comic-focused Tumblr and then her Twitter for witty and/or political comments. Ellen has her Instagram mostly about her tattoos and then her....Club Penguin? Tinder? I'm running out of social media networks to put here. Like my roommates, I too have multiple personas I put out into the online world. You're probably wondering what they are. Well..I have my farmersonly.com account that I use to meet rough and tumble country cats that catch mice with their claws. On this, I portray myself as someone who goes out for walks often. In reality, Clare drags me out while I dig my claws into the rug and loudly shriek, but no one has to know that. City people aren't really my romantic type so I'll lie if I have to. I have my Tumblr that I use to exclusively reblog gifs of Steve Buscemi smiling. It makes me come off as much more positive than I am. I have Facebook for all the friends and family I don't care about. My personal favorite social media is Twitter because I can let my unfiltered thoughts out into the world quickly enough so I don't overthink and subsequently regret them.

Great post this week! The section about LinkedIn really struck a chord with me because I've been debating how to represent myself professionally and going back and forth when creating my profile!

Hilarious post, and quite informative too! I think in many ways we all want to live vicariously through Steve Buscemi in some way or another. Keep up the great work and I can't wait to see what's next for this week!
