As you may or may not have known, I was in Iceland a few weeks ago. Upon my return, I had some time to reflect upon my trip, and, for a few hours yesterday, I wanted to attempt to make an infographic about what I completed during my trip. It took quite a bit longer...

I am taking another break from writing social justice pieces this week, as I am getting to the semester where my brain stops working. So instead, I would like to share a bit of creative writing I did! I listen to many Disco- A LOT. Disco has such a rich history and is...
