About Small Words
Welcome! This space is dedicated to thoughts on the large and the small. The overarching theme of these discussions is language and culture but more specifically Small Words is about how events and ideas are presented to us. Small Words investigates the words and imagery that shape our understanding of our cultural landscape. We hope that the more rigorously we examine the small things the broader our view of the vistas.
With that goal in mind, Small Words attempts to find a balanced interpretation of culture, politics, online discourse, and memes!
AI Statement:
No AI was used or abused in the making of Small Words blog. It is my opinion that expressing human thoughts and feelings is best left to humans.
