Old Crow's JournalThe College Struggle: Jaiden Animations
Jaiden Animations is a YouTube channel featuring the work of an Asian American animator who identifies herself only by her first name. I discovered her recently and really enjoy her personable illustrations, good storytelling, and awkward charm. Here's hoping you enjoy her work too!

Mass Shootings in the U.S. Vs in Australia
A short video contrasting the responses of young Americans versus young Australians when asked, "When was the last mass shooting?"
In 1996, 12 days after the Port Arthur Massacre took the lives of 35 victims, Australia passed its National Firearms Act (NFA), which has dramatically reduced the number of mass shootings. In fact, if one defines "mass shooting" as an incident in which a shooter killed four or more victims, the number of mass shootings in Australia since passage of the NFA is just one. You read that correctly: one mass shooting in twenty years. On September 9, 2014, Geoff Hunt of Lockhart, New South Wales, killed his wife and three children before turning the gun on himself. Total fatalities: 5.
A five-fatality mass shooting in the United States would hardly register as a blip.
