5 Podcasts You Should Be Listening to During Quarantine
Unlocking Us with Brene Brown Brene Brown is the friend we all need during this time. She is imperfectly perfect at handling things when life gets tough. She will be the first to admit that she doesn’t always get it right and it is a struggle for her to stay calm and steady during these times, but she strongly relies on her research of vulnerability and shame as she navigates everything life has to offer. She is my hero, not because she is perfect, but because she is willing to share her very human experiences that provide lessons to support living a more meaningful and wholehearted life. If you don’t know, Brene Brown is the best-selling author of the books Daring Greatly, Rising Strong and Dare to Lead. Her research in vulnerability and shame is life changing. She has an amazing gift for storytelling and the moral of her stories will provide you with a compass for living a wholehearted life. However, her work does not give you a step-by-step checklist for living your best life. Instead she provides you with skills to navigate this very imperfect and emotional life. She will not pretend to have all the answers, but every week she will sit in this uncertain time with you and share some of her ideas on how to make it through this difficult time.
Marci BrodockPublished 4 years ago in GeeksMy Review of "Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness"
I've been hearing the hype about Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness for quite some time. I wanted to wait to watch this one with my girlfriend because she really loves this show. In the mean time there have been countless memes and jokes about this show that I didn't understand.

Warning: attempted suicide "What do you mean we're over?" "Exactly that. We're over!" Logan was on an evening stroll with Nicole and, though he wasn't fond of going on "dates" with her, it wasn't until she rambled about marriage that he had enough.
Monique StarPublished 4 years ago in GeeksThe Perks of Being a Wallflower - A Movie Review
Friendship. Friendship is a gift. Never underestimate this extraordinary gift. Based on the book of the same name, The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a 2012 film about a teenage boy beginning his freshman year of high school. Meeting a group of kids known as ‘wallflowers’, Charlie slowly opens up to the world but continues to inwardly battle his own mental health.
Marielle SabbagPublished 4 years ago in GeeksMy Top Ten Films of All Time
I can't really offer any fulfilling advice on what to do during a lockdown, as all I have been doing is sleeping, drinking and watching movies, so the best I can offer is yet another movie list. I've done a couple of these so if any one has already read one of my others apologies for some slight repetition. That said, however, I have omitted 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy and treated this list as one where three-films-as-one doesn't count, just because I have reviewed it in a recent list.

Those who have been watching The Young and the Restless in recent weeks may have noticed that Jill has been hanging out in Genoa City, a little more than usual. She has bee spending time with Chance, who finally apprehended Colin and placed him behind bars. Jill set up a media division for Chancellor Industries and asked Billy and Lily to run it together. This seems to have caused her son a slight respite from his self destructing way of living. It also appears as if a romance might ensue between Bill and Lil, which may have been the agenda all along. On Wednesday, the duo asked Traci to be a part of their team and she said she would think about it. Jill has also been spending a lot of time with her former stepson and it's possible they may reignite the flames that burned out long ago.
Cheryl E PrestonPublished 4 years ago in GeeksThe Bishop Bogged Down and The Ghost
THE BISHOP BOGGED DOWN It is a rather peculiar thing that some pious people have the idea that certain letters of the alphabet arranged in such and such a way can both, in one of these senses, infinitely please the Lord, and taken in the other, cruelly offend Him; and this idea is undoubtedly one most pleasing to all those who offend the devout gentleman.
Bury me, Danielle. Rescue me, Gabriel
To borrow from the Blur, “modern publishing is rubbish”. Paradoxically, instead of becoming a wonderland of stylistic and POV plurality thanks to the digital era, the industry has turned into a conformist, sycophantic cyclops obsequious to demographics with good credit scores and suitable ad targets. One that ultimately serves the white majority rather than challenge them, and systematically drowns any dissenting voices.
Salomea BecquerelPublished 4 years ago in GeeksAn Anime Review of 'Violet Evergardan: Eternity and the Auto Memory Doll'
The feature length follow up to the KyoAni series, based on the novels Violet Evergarden. I have spoken extensively about the show on this platform before, and this film allows me to sing the praises of Violet Evergarden once again. If you are looking for my, to the point, recommendation, it is simply to get on Netflix and watch it right now. While I have been hard on Netflix for its treatment of seasonal anime, I have always maintained it is a great service nonetheless and that I am a fan of the fact they host various media including anime films.

What I think about Tiger King
This past week I decided to watch Tiger King because honestly I was just curious what all the hype was about. I remember the day it came on Netflix and it was listed as #1 in America for a couple days. I looked into it but it didn't really seem that interesting to me. It wasn't until my coworker, Seth, instigated me writing this opinion piece that I finally decided to watch it.
Madison RheamPublished 4 years ago in Geeks Its the end of the MCU
Well, this may have caught your eye, and I am glad because we need to talk about something important. Amid this outbreak, a lot of major industries have been basically put on the chopping block with nowhere to turn such as airlines, cruise ships, cinemas and restaurants are bars, but let look a little further into this.

warning: suicidal actions "He'll come out. It'll only be a matter of time before he comes out and we can be public." That was something Roman always told himself. Whenever they were in Creative Writing and he saw Nicole making flirty gestures and remarks that he knew Logan was aware of because he made the same gestures and remarks when they were alone, he repeated that phrase to himself in order to keep himself from committing violent actions that his brother was known for.
