Acxiom Corporation Knows You. Do you Know Them?
A good friend who’s a choir director introduced me to Vienna Teng’s “The Hymn of Acxiom†because it’s creepy, artistic, and amazing. Read the lyrics while you listen, and see if you don’t get chills and possibly a tick or two when the electronic chords morph into dissonance as the lyrics subtly change. Teng named...
The Magic of Many Voices – What Does Diversity Mean to You?
Don’t worry, lords and ladies of the realm, I’ll finish my promised post next week! But today is the Princesses’ home state’s point day in the DC40 campaign and we want your help!

When push comes to shove, I will defend your legal right to perform whatever you want on camera (provided you aren’t lying or physically harming somebody) and distribute it however you see fit. However, believing someone has the...
Introduction to The Pagan Newswire Collective
When Jax and I first started this blog, we didn’t really think we would post political commentary. Ah, we were so young and naive 6 months ago! Well, maybe not young.
