Reject Apathy is an online magazine which features articles on social justice. They also have published two print editions. It has specific ethical shopping opportunities and accessible ways to respond to crises of poverty and injustice.
Reject Apathy is published by Relevant Media Group. They put out Relevant Magazine which I have subscribed to for two years. It is aimed at 20 and 30 somethings from a Christian perspective. I find their articles very useful in struggling with my faith and exploring meaty issues.

Finding Nemo 3D Re-release (2003, 2012)
This was the first 3D movie I reviewed. I love this movie. I got a lot more out of it as an adult than as a teenager when it came out.

A Stranger's Smile
A Stranger's Smile
Based on a true
story
By Jonathan
Parsons
John turned the
corner. He saw 4 or 5 people waiting at the bus stop. He began to
smile, as he always liked to do for strangers. He chose a man in his mid-thirties.The guy's shirt hung out on a corner and his eyes looked down past his shoes. He was just a bit too far away for John to see his face.
Ah, there it was,
the polite smile was returned. John turned away to cross the road. The library
was near, and he had to check the old email.
“Hey, mate!” It
was the friendly stranger. John turned to see him.
“Are you Adrian?”
Making a thousand assumptions and judgements about the stranger and his story, John replied. “No, I’m not Adrian.”
And why not end with another smile?
