Multi MEdia
S’up, dawgs? It’s been awhile. It’s been so long, in fact, that I hardly know how to begin. I have a multitude of posts jingle-jangling in my head all vying for attention. Mad ones, happy ones, sad and angry ones, a few inspirational ones, some highly personal ones and some straight-up funny ones. I’ve been … Continue reading

You could probably plot it’s … Continue reading

…and, in an instant, my world changed forever…
***DOWNTON ABBEY SPOILER ALERT*** I had a post (in my head) all set to write this morning and then the unthinkable happened. Matthew Crawley died. I mean, really, what the h*ll?!? I feel like I lost a family member. One I like, to be clear. 😉 Downton Abbey is far and away my favourite show. … Continue reading

When war between Israel and Iran seemed imminent, Israeli graphic designer Ronny Edry shared a poster on Facebook of himself and his daughter with a bold message: “Iranians … we [heart] you.” Other Israelis quickly created their own posters with the same message — and Iranians responded in kind.…
