Here’s a tweet seemingly from the BBC’s breaking news account, “US President Joe Biden has announced that he will resign from his post by the end of the year.

On first look, it looks legit and verified, although here is how I made sure it was legit. so I decided to check the actual account to see if you can find the tweet on the account’s timeline. If the date on the screenshot is not recent and requires scrolling down for some time, I used Twitter’s advanced search and see if I could find that tweet from the account.

Here, for instance, I’ve done a search for @BBCBreaking tweets that use the word “Biden” and put them in chronological order. The screenshot has the date 7 September on it. Advanced search results show no record of @BBCBreaking tweets with the word “Biden” between 24 August and 21 September.

 

Obviously, if the tweet cannot be found, it is most definitely fake.

 

 

 

How has your awareness of Coast Salish Art in our community changed? Be specific and give at least one example.

Through my recent understanding,  Coast Salish art has grown a lot. I have started appreciate the beauty and cultural importance of this art form, it is set apart by its bold lines, different shapes, and natural elements such as animals and plants. An example that I think can show a lot of change is having awareness of Coast Salish art into public spaces. For example I’ve noticed how parks and buildings have murals, sculptures, and other art inspired by Coast Salish traditions. These acts of kindness honour Indigenous culture while also showing appreciation between community members. Overall, I have notice that I’ve grown awareness of Coast Salish art and I really have grown my understanding of its importance in our community.
