In which Bloo the dinosaur once again heroically saves Owen Munny, the evil white man who cruelly enslaved her, and goes on to found the #MeTooth movement in response to harassment from Great White Hunter Buffalo Corny, the most offensive tackle on his high school football team. Meanwhile Bear Endearing has founded #OwnedVoices which seeks to corral all dinosaurs so anyone who wants access has to go through her or better yet, to avoid a Hollywooden lawsuit, she goes through them like a rocket. Dramatically leaving things to last minute so they can make heroic rescues in the nickel of time, everyone descends on Isla Blair, determined once again to make the same dumb mistakes they made four times before. Owen and Bear are of course at loggerheads, the small town on the eastern end of the island, but Bear is confident that he will follow her anywhere, as long as she holds on to his wallet.

This is not your great-grandfather's Christmas Carol! Ben is a successful casting director working out of San Francisco. He has access to a host of aspiring actresses who come to him looking to get into the movies, but just because he can find the right person for the right part doesn't mean he has a decent character. Ben's problem isn't his lack of financial charity, it's his lack of respect for any gender that's not him. On Christmas Eve, he's visited by his dead partner, who tells him he's doomed to a miserable after-party if he can't stop irresponsibly partying in this life. Can the ghosts of relationships past and the non-conforming and flamboyant ghosts of things to come wise Ben up to the wisdom of MeToo or will he end up condemned to a cold and lonely TooMe?

In his first non-fiction book, this prolific author takes an amateur fan's look at the science and silliness of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and tries to understand how their meteoric success of the 2008-2019 era could have seemingly soured so dramatically as they moved into Phase 4 and beyond. Are things really as bad as they seem? Are the cracks in the Marvel edifice something new, or have they been there all along, but willingly overlooked by audiences who were dazzled by the sprawling, unprecedented spectacle that Marvel initially unleashed on the eager cinematic world? Is this juggernaut really heading for a cliff, and if so, how can it be turned around? The answers may surprise you or they may be the same things you've been thinking all along!

Generalized hypermobility has been known since ancient times, and a clinical description of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is said to have first been recorded by Hippocrates in 400 BC. Hypermobility syndromes occur frequently, but the wide spectrum of possible symptoms, coupled with a relative lack of awareness and recognition, are the reason that they are frequently not recognized, or remain undiagnosed. This book is an international, multidisciplinary guide to hypermobility syndromes, and EDS in particular. It aims to create better awareness of hypermobility syndromes among health professionals, including medical specialists, and to be a guide to the management of such syndromes for patients and practitioners. It is intended for use in daily clinical practice rather than as a reference book for research or the latest developments, and has been written to be understandable for any healthcare worker or educated patient without compromise to the scientific content. The book is organized as follows: chapters on classifications and genetics are followed by chapters on individual types, organ (system) manifestations and complications, and finally ethics and therapeutic strategies, with an appendix on surgery and the precautions which should attend it. A special effort has been made to take account of the perspective of the patient; two of the editors have EDS. The book will be of interest to patients with hypermobility syndromes and their families, as well as to all those healthcare practitioners who may encounter such syndromes in the course of their work.
