I think I've actively annoyed a few friends with how often (and how loudly) I've recommended this book. Every essay is packed with hope, empathy, thoughtfulness, and a well-deserved righteous fury at those in charge. A no-bullshit manual for how to save the world.
Heck yeah, thanks so much!
Great review! The movie sounds fun! But I'm curious: Will I be lost if I've never seen the show in either of its incarnations to this point?
So happy to see this renewal news! SUCH a delightful show! Can’t recommend it highly enough!
heck yeah, thank you so much!

Reposts deeply appreciated, it's the main way people find out. A chunk of profits will always go to woke-ass causes here in Oregon.
Hollywood is undoubtedly, far and away, easily, no doubt, the BEST moviegoing experience within 100 miles of Portland—maybe more! Definitely the right choice!
BUT! Those Luxury Lounger chairs at Cinemark are next-level comfortable! Easily the most comfy and cozy I've ever been at the movies.
I feel so bad for the low-level agent who no doubt had to watch those games to help build the case.
I'll be signing books at the festival on Sunday, December 7! I hope to see you there!
Thank you for sharing!
Gosh, that is always so surreal!
Awww heck yeah That's so rad to hear! Thanks for sharing! 🙌🙌🙌
The problem we're trying to solve is that there are teams with good OPS and there are teams with bad OPS. Then there's fifty feet of crap, and then there's us.
Jim Halpert!
Can't speak to the disparity, but I took the afternoon off to see it today ... and I really liked it! Felt fresh in a lot of ways—visually (loved the retro-future vibe), script-wise (not overly quippy), well-defined characters, mostly self-contained, and good pace. Thoroughly delightful!
I am going to see that on the big screen in October! Have never seen it — but HAVE heard nothing but good things! Can't wait!
Thank you @calyxworks.com for making such an amazing shirt! It got many compliments at the Axe & Rose!
THEY DON'T ASK HOW, THEY ASK HOW MANY
I appreciate the kind words, Dan! It's never about the miles you log or the heights you climb, but how much fun you had.

Ohhhh I missed that entirely in your first reply! 😂😂😂 Dude! What a trip that must have been!
Dude! That sounds INCREDIBLE! Funny how nature knows what you need, when you need it. 🙂
Where was this particular trip?!
