Hey y’all….you ready to get naked? If so, you’re about to read the right book! Now, before you start thinking this is some nudist manifesto or a desperate attempt to save on laundry detergent, let me assure you: it’s so much more. I’m writing this book as a humorous, yet profoundly serious exploration into the liberating world of nudity. You see, in our society, clothes have become more than just a necessity to keep warm or avoid awkward public encounters. They’ve turned into symbols of status, fashion statements, and sometimes, unnecessary constraints. I’m here to tell you ...

They say freedom comes from within, but for Kristin Williams, it came the moment her washing machine broke and she realized pants were optional. Welcome to The Naked Awakening, a hilarious, unfiltered, and surprisingly heartfelt memoir from a PNW woman who accidentally stumbled into the world of nudism and decided she kind of liked it there. Kristin isn’t your typical guru of “body positivity.” She’s sarcastic, self-deprecating, and constantly caught between self-discovery and disaster. Whether she’s flashing the neighbors, getting sunburned in questionable places, or learning the...

Education, employment, and home ownership have long been considered stepping stones to the middle class. But in Abandoned Families, social policy expert Kristin Seefeldt shows how many working families have access only to a separate but unequal set of poor-quality jobs, low-performing schools, and declining housing markets, which offer few chances for upward mobility. Through in-depth interviews over a six-year period with women in Detroit, Seefeldt charts the increasing social isolation of many low-income workers.

This is Dr. X. H. Balthazar. I’m broadcasting in the hopes of reaching an audience with interest in my field of study. Through my years of research, I’ve scoured the globe in search of the unordinary and uncanny. This work has granted me knowledge of other dimensions that intertwine with ours -- leaving behind anomalies in our world. Some of you may call what I find myths, folklore, or even urban legends, but I can assure you they are nothing of the sort. Not convinced? Well, let’s see what sort of recollections we can scare up together.

Net zo onvergetelijk als Daar waar de rivierkreeften zingen en Ga als een rivier. Als de wolven huilen (voorheen Alice, het wolvenmeisje).
