Show moreEnthusiasts propose that social media promotes vertical political communication, giving citizens the opportunity to interact directly with their representatives. However, skeptics claim that politicians avoid direct engagement with constituents, using technology to present a façade of interactivity instead. This study explores if and how elected officials in three regions of the world are using Twitter to interact with the public. We examine the Twitter activity of 15 officials over a period of six months. We show that in addition to the structural features of Twitter that are designed to promote interaction, officials rely on language to foster or to avoid engagement. It also provides yet more evidence that the existence of interactive features does not guarantee interactivity.

Show moreIn this interview, Sofanda relays her experience doing drag and developing her Bingo set, focusing on how she creates a welcoming community for Bingo players to join in on a Tuesday night. Highlighted here is how Bingo provides an accessible way for designers with little to no game design training are able to develop meaning play experiences. Furthermore, she elaborates on how Bingo extends her own performance of gender and sexuality to the players, inviting them to also perform and play with gender and sexuality. While Drag Bingo highlights an accessible method of structuring play, successful drag queen Bingo hosts must cultivate a liminal low- stakes space for participants to play with performances of gender and sexuality.
