- I use Facebook and Instagram and Tumblr. I have a twitter but I don\u2019t use it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Which platform(s) do you like the most?\n

- Instagram and Tumblr.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Why do you prefer this platform over others?\n

- I like Instagram and Tumblr better because I use them to search for poetry and photography. Facebook is good for seeing what people are up to and sharing articles, but it doesn\u2019t seem as friendly. It isn\u2019t really a space that seems open to post whatever you want to it. I do use it to message my friend\u2019s articles I think they would like, and it\u2019s also a good way to share articles that people maybe wouldn\u2019t look for on their own. I see this a lot with feminist articles, they aren\u2019t very popular on Facebook aside from a few people. On Tumblr I can find and share as often as I want, and has a lot more to look through that inspires me.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- What kind of pages do you follow?\n
- \n
- I follow a lot of artists, music, and feminist blogs. I like keeping up to date with gender issues and Tumblr is really good for that.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- What other websites do you use often?\n
- \n
- I read the New York Times every day and Rookiemag.com is another favorite of mine. It\u2019s a blog dedicated to empowering teenage girls.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- How do you think social media\/technology have had a positive or negative impact on you?\n
- \n
- There are times where social media makes things difficult. It\u2019s distracting and sometimes it\u2019s frustrating to constantly see what other people are doing, but I also think it exposes me to a lot of good things. I recently heard about a woman working for DoSomething.org whose job was to text younger girls to let them know about opportunities that they could take advantage of in their area to help empower them. She got a response one day from a girl who had been raped, and that was the only way she wasn\u2019t afraid to reach out for help. I thought that was really powerful and it was good to hear about media being used for good.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- How much are you concerned with your privacy on social media?\n
- \n
- I don\u2019t like people knowing what I\u2019m doing all the time, which is part of why I don\u2019t feel the need to post on Facebook that much. Sometimes I care, but other times I don\u2019t think it matters as much. It depends on my mood really.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

I know in the past Mary has mentioned that Facebook doesn’t seem as socially conscious at times, so I decided to streamline feminist hashtags from Twitter to my Facebook profile.<\/p>\n
