California Typewriter

This is a completely fantastic documentary about Typewriter culture. I recently saw it on Hulu after missing it in theaters and I am so glad I did! https://player.vimeo.com/video/180840528 Literally made me want to buy a typewriter as soon as it was over!
24 Hour Comic

This was a very fun movie that documented a 24 Hour Comic event in Portland. It was playful and fun and captured a lot of why comics still matter. A fun Documentory.
74. Truth is Here and Now

Your very being is the real. Of course, every jnani will suggest the path of his own attainment as the one he knows mostintimately. But most of them are very liberal and adapt their advice to the needs of the enquirer. All the paths take you to the purification of the mind. The impure mind…

We can never speak about God rationally as we speak about ordinary things, but that does not mean we should give up thinking about God. We must…
How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf

How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf by Molly Harper My rating: 5 of 5 stars This was a completely fun modern romance. The Alpha Male trope was dealt with playfully–in fact the entire book was very breezy and playful which was refreshing for the genre. Strongly recommended if you are looking for a Northern…
48. PARTICIPATION

A nursing home is not like one of those exclusive institutions like a Monatin Oyster Club or a Warf Rat Club, where it’s only member (and only men) and where accomplished and important people dress down and pretend to be ordinary fellows. Of Course not, might be your response. A nursing home is more progressive.…
