Human rights in the Age of Pop Culture

Raymund Fernandez 01/09/2018

Coming out

Raymund Fernandez 01/02/2018

Intent, purpose, attentiveness; these are nice words to describe particular states of being. I would be tempted to dwell on those things to begin the new year if it were not the case that what I really…

Misa de Gallo and hilot
