Snow Hill
Atop a snow covered hill a group of six figures hold colorful ribbons dancing about a May pole with train tracks in the distance. In Andrew Wyeth’s culminating masterwork they dance in anticipation of his impending death for the hell he put them through. Notice there are seven ribbons however.

The Soft Bulletin
From a chance encounter and memory... I knew the name; some doubts about their sound and choices. From a listening centre (remember Tower Records?).... Hypnotized by Spider Bites, Bleeding Heads, Waiting for a Superbeing and Disintegrations...

Vocal
You weren’t my first. Probably not my last. But of all the others' past, you’re the one that’s lasted. Vocal, you’re the best writing platform I have found so far. You’ve helped me grow. You’ve made me mad. You’ve made me smile. You’ve made me the writer I am today.

Finding a Kindred Soul in The Thinker
As my eyes gaze upon the contemplative presence within the garden, I am overcome with a sense of peace and belonging. This beautiful statue portrays an affliction that once left me feeling like an outcast. The artist has brought beauty to a concept that most thought could not be seen.

The Kiss. Runner-Up in Critique Challenge.
Shimmering strokes of gold falls downward into a patch of colorful wildflowers. Evoking the essence of admiration and joy, the mundanity of a kiss is brought into an extraordinary light. These complex figures are intertwined in an act of love. Sitting besides a steep cliff. But is their love reciprocal?

Mona Lisa
Enigmatic and monumental, with a subtle modeling of form, of both the face and hands, complete with an unreal, illusory atmosphere. Rendered in soft and sensual tones, she smiles in a homely yet seductive way. Her knowing, inviting eyes seem to follow you, no matter where you go. Che bello.

Music
I'd love more Autistic-centered movies. Just not like this one. A badly-researched, poorly-executed sensory nightmare, Sia claimed "Music" was Autism-centered for Activist!Points, when it was actually full of racist&ableist stereotypes.

Nintendo Switches “Stray Gods”
”Strays Gods The Roleplaying Musical” for Nintendo Switch is a masterpiece of an animated, roleplaying “choose your own ending” game that will have you falling in love with a fresh take on Greek Mythology. The music is so artfully written and it’ll have you singing song while you are playing!

Nothing Compares
The documentary Nothing Compares is about the late singer Sinéad O'Connor. The film narrates her saddest life experiences and how they informed her artistry and activism. Sinéad got it! All the sadness within her pointed to society's shroud over evil. This story shows the influence music can have on humanity.

Assassin’s Creed
Nothing is true. Everything is permitted. Not dogma but instead a revelation, those who came before leads Desmond on, don't give away your freedom cries Ezio. A brotherhood meant to serve the light. Seek the truth for yourself, requiescat in pace. The best games are with Altaïr and Ezio Auditore.
