What I listen too, by Rory Day Unit 1


 What I listen to 

I am constantly listening to something throughout my day.
Started my day by hearing my least favorite sound aka my alarm  I threw on some music to walk to the gym (Dancing Circles, Sampha). Then I switch to more upbeat music while at the gym (Trademark USA, by Baby Keem)


Listening to music while doing homework keeps me focused

(Cello Suite No. 1, Johann Sebastian Bach, Yo-Yo Ma.)


Lastly a podcast that helps me fall asleep that I highly recommend.( Sleep With Me on Spotify


 Selfies with a Social Conscience

    I don't think many people realize the social implications of the pictures that they post, except for the specific times where people post to bring light to an issue.  Especially on social media cites like Instagram, because it's more used to show people what they are doing at the time and interested in. People can use these platforms to broadcast any information they want, for example a new club poster on someone's Instagram story.  One example of people using their social media for social commentary was posting a black screen to their Instagram in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.  People all across the globe could come together in support of a specific cause. Over 28 million people posted a black screen on January 2nd 2020. The movement caused backlash because activists claimed that it muted the actual important conversations and that just simply posting was not enough.

  1. Great job Rory! The description of audio/music you listen to each day is really interesting. I would love to see you tie it back into the selfie conversation. Overall, great blog post

  2. I really like the visuals of the different music and podcasts. I'm a little confused about the transition into selfies from music.

  3. I really liked how you included the alarm has something you listened to today. When I first hear the title “What I listen to in a day” I would’ve assumed it just to be music but you thought outside the box for this one.
