  Tele Aadsen met the ocean as a child when her parents traded jobs as veterinarians for a migratory life shared with sea birds, salmon, and fishermen. In the mist of the Tongass rainforest, Tele learned to explore life within endless shades of gray, coming to know firsthand how fine the line between life and death and the precarious balance of sea, land, and sky. She’s spent the four decades since trolling for salmon off Southeast Alaska. 
  In What Water Holds, a series of lyrical essays first shared at Oregon’s FisherPoets Gathering, Tele examines questions of equity, identity, community, the changing climate, and sustainability with loving, detailed attention, revealing the complexities within their many shades of gray. Weaving stories of what lies beneath the surface and the possibilities beyond, What Water Holds speaks to anyone who has fallen under the spell of the sea, struggled to find their own uncharted path, and wrestled with big philosophical questions – in short, anyone seeking to live a full, deeply considered life.  
  “In this beautiful, brave, knowledgeable collection, Aadsen invites us to examine an industry with clear eyes. Her recollections are rich and poignant, and her eye for social critique is unwavering as she lays bare the complexities of fishing life. Gender, death, power, history, relationships, and the natural world all come under her gaze and are shared with ruthless love.”

  SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  SpongeBob SquarePants is an American animated series created by Stephen Hillenburg, first airing in 1999. It follows the adventures of SpongeBob and his aquatic friends in Bikini Bottom. The show is a surreal comedy that appeals to a wide range of ages and is considered a cultural touchstone of Millennials and Gen Z. SpongeBob works as a fry cook at the Krusty Krab, and his neighbor, Plankton, is his rival, who tries to steal the Krabby Patty secret formula. The series has received numerous awards and has been adapted into various media including films, video games, and merchandise. The show is also known for its memes and has had both critical praise and some controversy. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  The show SpongeBob SquarePants was initially intended to be called SpongeBoy Ahoy!, but the name "SpongeBoy" was already copyrighted. This led to the name change to SpongeBob SquarePants, with "SquarePants" being inspired by Tom Kenny's remark about a sponge in square pants.  
    
  Before creating SpongeBob SquarePants, Stephen Hillenburg taught marine biology at the Ocean Institute in California. He created a comic book called The Intertidal Zone for the institute, which featured anthropomorphic sea creatures that later became SpongeBob characters.  
    
  SpongeBob SquarePants does not use written scripts; instead, storylines are developed by a team of writers who create outlines and then hand them to storyboard directors. The storyboard directors add most of the dialogue and jokes, using methods like Post-it notes to assemble the storyboards.

  On a whim, armchair-atheist Richard Kelly Kemick joins the 100-plus cast of The Canadian Badlands Passion Play, North America's largest production of its kind and one of the main tourist attractions in Alberta. By the time closing night is over, Kemick has a story to tell. From the controversial choice of casting to the bizarre life in rehearsal, this glorious behind-the-scenes look at one of Canada's strangest theatrical spectacles also confronts the role of religion in contemporary life and the void left by its absence for non-believers. 
  "Kemick's book is that delicious cross between Waiting for Guffman and The Studhorse Man, a rousing personal comedy that dances between the sweat of art and the glue of experience. Nothing like it exists in non-fiction, but don't read it for that reason. Read it because it sticks to your fingers and you can't shake it off." — Dave Bidini 
  "Well-observed and poignant, this is a fascinating look into a largely unknown world." — Michael Coren 
  "Richard Kemick spends a summer in Alberta's Bible Belt where it may be easier to find God than a vegetarian meal. There, he confronts age-old questions about belief with near-miraculous freshness, honesty, and humour. A deeply personal investigation of the blurred border between faith and imagination." — Marcello Di Cintio
