Summary

Think one day of having to stay, for a period of time, without a phone, what would you do? This is the story lived by the author, who for a simple forgetfulness, had to travel for thousands of miles, without a mobile phone. From a normal trip, it has turned into a new adventure, which leads the author to have second thoughts to about this life, in the technological chaos in which we find ourselves. A new thing, born by chance, but that makes you think about how we lived before, without this lethal weapon that is the phone.

    What's He Doing In There? -...

    What’s He Doing in There? is a light, humorous science-fiction story by Fritz Leiber, first published in 1957. The story follows a polite, soft-spoken Martian who arrives on Earth after secretly learning English from radio and television broadcasts. Instead of seeking out governments or scientists, he wisely chooses to contact a cultural anthropologist first — a man eager to study alien customs. 
Everything seems perfectly calm until the Martian excuses himself and disappears into the family bathroom… and stays there. Minutes turn into an hour, then longer, and the professor’s household begins to panic. Why is he running the water? Is he ill? Is he conducting some kind of alien ritual? Is he experimenting? Is he drowning? The family debates everything from cultural taboos to possible interplanetary disasters — and no one wants to be the first person in history to knock on the bathroom door of a Martian. 
Leiber turns a simple domestic scene into a comedy of curiosity and nerves, letting the tension build while the professor, his wife, and their children imagine every possible explanation. The joke is not just the mystery, but how humans react when faced with the unknown — with worry, speculation, and a touch of self-importance. It’s gentle satire from a writer who understood that science fiction can be funny without losing its insight. 
Fritz Leiber (1910–1992) was one of the major figures of 20th-century speculative fiction and one of the first writers to blend horror, fantasy, and science fiction with a modern, human voice. Born in Chicago, he wrote everything from psychological ghost stories to space satire, and helped create the “sword and sorcery” genre through his famous Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser stories. 
Leiber’s work earned the Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy Awards, and he is often credited with bringing literary style and emotional depth into pulp-era storytelling.

    Knitty Bears are different from Panda Bears and Spectacled Bears and Grizzly Bears and Polar Bears - 
They are Bears made from wool and as deeply connected to all the Bears of all the Worlds, as you and I. 
This spoken lullaby for Bedtimes and Sniffletimes and times when you want to feel closer, to yourself and to the Land. 
A pattern for you to create your very own Knitty Bear - 
Within this pattern for you to connect, with your very own Inner Bear. 
Knitty Bear is a gorgeous, magical story about a knitted bear, called Knitty. It has plenty of illustrations and its themes are centered on belonging and connecting to yourself, the natural world and to each other. With a knitting pattern included, the creative process of knitting Knitty Bear mindfully aligns you more deeply to your own dreams and wishes, as you knit Knitty for the people you love or those times when you yourself, really need to hug a little, squishy bear. 
The knitting pattern is ideal for beginners, supervised children or for the more experienced knitter. The story was originally aimed at 4 - 7 year-olds and we are discovering that adults who are aware of their Inner Child are resonating very much, with the gentle comfort of Knitty.
