Pride and Productivity: Finding Your Drive to Create

On August 23, 2018 By Ashley BaerIn Creativity, Personal, Photography, Writing1 Comment

Society promotes the message that creativity for the sake of creativity is the ultimate goal, but what about those who need to create for someone or something else? I reflect on my creativity is intertwined with having an outside purpose and how that is no better or worse than simply creating.

On August 19, 2018August 20, 2018 By Ashley BaerIn Videos, Writing1 Comment

Remember the People Behind the Rhetoric

On July 11, 2018August 13, 2018 By Ashley BaerIn Politics, WritingLeave a comment

History is full of examples of the dangers that comes with dehumanization from the Jews during Nazi Germany to Asians Internment Camps in WWII America to today with detained migrants being held in detention centers; those who are viewed as not human are easily disposed of. We must fight against this dangerous thinking and remember the people behind the rhetoric.
