“PHONETICALLY SPEAKING” To reflect the fast pace of world news, my blog is probably best served as a stream-of-consciousness text. Fast and unadulterated. With this approach, and on first encounter, text might not seem to scan. This is because I am dyslexic. Instead of keeping the proof-readers busy, I would rather let my blog updates of my visual work stand as a record of my experience of dyslexia, which I am keen that you now get to enjoy too. Unlike some news outlets, I hereby excuse myself the need for a ‘corrections’ section! The excitement of a new language is something I’m quite familiar with, and it is with this ‘joie de vivre’ that I am delighted to guide you through my thought and work processes, more phonetically (than fanatically) speaking.
Plicr man helped KKK
Leroy Smith, of the South Carolina Department of Public Safety happened to be a black police officer on duty during a Ku Klux Klan (KKK) Confederate flag rally. KKK members started to collapse from heat stroke. Without a second thought he was assisting them to safety.
A photograph of the officers actions went viral with over 5000 retweets. Leroy Smith hoped the picture would be “a catalyst” for people to overcome hatred and violence.
