The start of my story with digital literacy is past my frame of remembrance, but I do have distinct memories of what my school called, “digital boot camp” a chapter in adolescent Ammarah’s majestic entry into dreaded high school.

blink and you’ll miss it
Media and the internet have evolved faster than the rate of comprehension, creating new norms and nuances that we could not have seen coming. Some of these changes happen overnight while others slowly erode the very fabric of the internet, and our contemplation of it. When it comes to changes online, blink and you’ll miss […]
one day we’ll have an apartment. i’d pick out too many cushions and want mirrors on every wall you’d pretend to be bothered but wouldn’t mind at all we’d hold up paint chips at Benjamin’s like movie couples do and i would re-realize how much i love blue we’d squeege windows and […]

the balancing act
Whether it be in cyberspace or mental space, maintaining order or ordering chaos is measurable in a finely tuned balance of what takes up space.
