New video y’all! A proper one this time :) It took a while to edit but that makes sense since it’s super high quality and I had 200 videos to start with 🫠 youtu.be/Y8dV9Y6KCV0 #bcm112

So, first tweet of the #BCM111 Trimester! And the topic we discussed in class today is... why am I here? Well, being completely honest with you, uni's fun! As well as me being here to learn, but most importantly, I'm here to experience. Looking ahead to a great course! :)

Hey #bcm111! How’s it going? Just finished my blog post and would love some feedback for next time. It talks about transnational media and K-Drama making a rise in Turkey! Check it out: adamelrafey.wordpress.com/bcm111-blog-po…

I was thinking of what to tweet today, until I realized, well, I have no ideas. And then I got an idea. What if I make a tweet about not having an idea? As meaningless as this may seem, it does show that even when you’re starting from scratch, anything can happen. #bcm111

Currently in a #bcm111 lecture, and for attendance, I’m gonna share 2 of my favourite songs - one from my culture, one not! From Turkey (one of the countries I’m from) here it is: youtu.be/R6gSMSYKhKU And outside, a song that I recently got into: youtu.be/S9j4KSFvseY

#bcm111 Actually, the more that I think about it, the more that I realize that Dubai is probably one of the cities with the most cultural diversity in the world. I’m not just talking about Global Village, you can also go down to the Old town and it’s so heritage rich. I love it.

#bcm111 #wecare So, what exactly is race to me? By my definition, race is a group of people who share a common background and identity towards which they identify. I know there’s different definitions - ask any 2 people and they will answe different, but intuitively that is mine.

#bcm111 #wecare Social media, if used right, is a great medium for change. Why? Well, not only is it because of the sheer amount of people that use it, but also the fact that there are groups and communities that will be able to relate. Except when the word limit is too sho-

Some of the problems in coordinating protests on social media (at least in my view of the world) is honestly being able to find people who agree with your cause, and to have people be able to protest without an overpowering retaliation. Also, time zones 🙃 #bcm111 #wecare

A lot of streets in Buenos Aires have the same geometry as Philly streets: one travel lane, and two parking lanes. But here, many streets have converted one of the parking lanes into protected two-way bike lanes! It's cool to see what's possible even with a narrow right of way.

Now - sure. Although this type of car-centric infrastructure isn’t great by any means, a lot of people forget about 1 thing that could change their mind. Introducing Deira. This part of the city is A) walkable B) heritage righ and C) teeming with life and soul. Dubai’s done it.
