AI and Creatives
In my Media, Culture and Society class today I showed this video to students. I tried to hide the title so that they couldn't see it was fully generated by AI. Before showing the film, I asked the students to register their feelings - what kind of emotions the film evoked in them - and also observe anything they might think would be worthy of discussion.

The Voice & The Hero
Today, I decided to clear all the stories from my drafts and make them public. I have no idea why some of these pieces have been sitting dormant and collecting dust for almost three years. However, I trust that I did start a good thing. Now, it's time to see it to the finish line. For this piece, I was very inspired by the uplifting legends of Hip Hop. I recognized how much music has carried me through the various phases of my life and this piece is meant to pay homage. Enjoy the read!

Women on Screen: Psychological Themes in Contemporary Indian Cinema
Cinema and film are prevalent forms of mass communication that significantly influence opinions, shape perceptions, and reinforce prevailing cultural norms. They entertain audiences globally, offering an escape from everyday life by creating an alternate reality. Additionally, cinema has the power to alter individuals' mindsets and help establish new cultural, social, and political values. Indian cinema has long been a significant part of Indian culture, impacting society and individual lives in various ways. Movies influence people's fashion choices, speech, and social behaviour, both directly and indirectly. Over time, Indian cinema has evolved from traditional mythological films to "Bollywoodized" adaptations of successful Hollywood movies. In the 1970s, Indian cinema began to adopt a more socially conscious and politically focused approach.

Getting Through the Dark: Narcissists vs. Dark Empaths: Understanding, Identifying, and Liberating
Getting Through the Dark: Narcissists vs. Dark Empaths: Understanding, Identifying, and Liberating I have always been fascinated and intrigued by the limitless potential humans hold, which propels us on the path of progression. The odyssey of transforming primitiveness into a touch of modernism is the beauty of the prowess of the human mind. In the vast and complex tapestry that constitutes human relationships, the delicate interplay between these contrasting forces often presents itself as an enigma. Have you ever experienced the captivating yet perplexing dynamics between light and shadow, empathy and narcissism? Within this intricate landscape, dark empaths and narcissists stand out as compelling and enigmatic figures, each characterized by a distinct array of traits and behaviours. On the other hand, susceptible people (HSP), recognized for their deep emotional awareness and sensitivity to the feelings of others, often find themselves traversing the challenging terrain of relationships with these fascinating, yet sometimes troubling, personalities. This journey can be both enlightening and bewildering, as HSPs strive to understand and navigate the emotional landscapes shaped by the contrasting influences of empathy and narcissism.

And this film follows a group of downtrodden young space colonists in pursuit of better life conditions who encounter hostile creatures while scavenging a derelict space station.Let's just start off with that. Rook with the likeness of Ian Holm who played Ash in the first alien film. This character is obviously of the same model. It's not literally Ash which I'm sure is going to confuse a lot of people.
