Pirate Clothing by Region
When we imagine pirates, it’s easy to picture dramatic sword fights, stolen treasure, and iconic outfits that scream rebellion and adventure. But here's a twist most people don’t realize: pirate clothing actually changed based on where the pirates were sailing. The styles rocked in the Caribbean were totally different from what you’d see in the Mediterranean—and trust me, both were fire 🔥 in their own way.

Oscar Winner: Stutterer
In my last Media Literacy class, I always show this movie to my students as a perfect example of how media content works and affects us at different dimensions. I must have seen this 13-minute movie at least a dozen times, but it still hits me hard every time I watch it. It's just such a simple and powerful human story. Here's my personal analysis:

Black Mirror Season 7 Didn't Just Scare Me — It Broke Me
The loneliness of digital performance I watched it alone, at night, with no distractions. That mattered. Because when you watch something like Black Mirror, you don’t just see a show — you see a mirror. Not always clean. Sometimes cracked. But a mirror all the same. And this season? It didn’t just scare me. It broke something open.

What’s a Meta For?
Grade: A+ The first scene strikes like a lick from a blues guitar. A seemingly badly wounded man with a scar on his face enters. From there, sex, booze, and blues saturate a bloody good tale in Sinners (2025). At the helm, Ryan Coogler sets up familiar fair and reminiscent tropes; fast talking twins, blues musicians, women shaking all they’ve got exude from the screen.

Why Better Call Saul Is Brilliant
(Mild spoilers!) Yes, I did indeed decide to write my own submission for my unofficial challenge. Because why not? I just finished Better Call Saul this week, and upon finishing, I felt like I could run a mile. I could have cried until my eyes hurt. I could have jumped and touched the stars. I could have started a corrupt career in law—just kidding. Probably.

Why I Love One Piece
I have always loved films, TV, and music. They are part of my blood, my DNA. I could have easily written this piece on a Danny Boyle film, Firefly, Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy, or something by David Lynch or Paul Verhoeven or why my favourite Tarantino film is Inglorious Basterds—and maybe I will at some point. There are plenty of other big names I haven’t even mentioned. But when I read Angela's brief for this challenge, I knew immediately which show I was going to write about.
