Over the past two decades â largely since product designer Chris Messina pitched hashtags to Twitter in 2007 â activists have learned to harness the symbols to form online communities, raise awareness on pressing issues, organize protests, shape digital narratives, and redirect social media discourse.Â On any given day, a series of hashtags are spotlighted in Trending section of Twitter. The hashtags featured are those that have gained traction online and reflect topics being heavily discussed in the moment. More often than not, a trending hashtag s popularity is organic, but a hashtag s origin and initial purpose can become clouded when people partake in a clever tactic called hashtag flooding.

Black Lives Matter: A year of athletic protest | Sports| German football and major international sports news | DW

Black Lives Matter: A year of athletic protest It has been a seismic year for sport, and no more so in athletes raising their voice in the fight for racial equality.

Seven months on from displays of solidarity in the Bundesliga, Hertha Berlin s Jordan Torunarigha posted a picture on his Instagram account. It showed a message full of racist abuse he had been sent after Hertha s derby win against Union. It was the second time in a year that the 23-year-old had been subjected to such abuse. It begs the question, for all the apparent progress this year, how far have we really come?

COVID-19 eliminated many gigs in an already sparse market, and many remaining gigs went virtual.
