It’s all about the feels this week. Like, you can feel your heart explode while watching a video of a pregnant, blind mom-to-be when she gets a 3D sonogram of her son, or you can feel your mind bending when holograms of people with disabilities appear when you park in a handicapped space…so go for it. Dig in. It’s a big, amazing world with so much good happening. AT in the news for the week of 5/4 thru 5/8.
