Careless People    Tuesday April 29 at 5.30

An explosive memoir charting one woman’s career at the heart of one of the most influential companies on the planet, Careless People gives you a front-row seat to Facebook, the decisions that have shaped world events in recent decades, and the people who made them. From trips on private jets and encounters with world leaders to shocking accounts of misogyny and double standards behind the scenes, this searing memoir exposes both the personal and the political fallout when unfettered power and a rotten company culture take hold. In a gripping and often absurd narrative where a few people carelessly hold the world in their hands, this eye-opening memoir reveals what really goes on among the global elite.

Sarah Wynn-Williams tells the wrenching but fun story of Facebook, mapping its rise from stumbling encounters with juntas to Mark Zuckerberg’s reaction when he learned of Facebook’s role in Trump’s election. She experiences the challenges and humiliations of working motherhood within a pressure cooker of a workplace, all while Sheryl Sandberg urges her and others to “lean in.”

Careless People is a deeply personal account of why and how things have gone so horribly wrong in the past decade—told in a sharp, candid, and utterly disarming voice. A deep, unflinching look at the role that social media has assumed in our lives, Careless People reveals the truth about the leaders of Facebook: how the more power they grasp, the less responsible they become and the consequences this has for all of us.

Surviving the Alaskan Wilderness in the 70s
with Efrem Razumny
Saturday April 12, 2025


Come to be inspired about how Bear and his partner Jessica lived and survived on the Yukon River in the Yukon Territory and in the central mountains of Alaska during the 1970s. It is based on his recently self-published book, “Becoming Ravenbear, An Alaskan Magical Memoir.” You will see how they built cabins and hunted for food and foraged for berries and mushrooms. Bear will relate how they explored living on the land in harmony with the natural beauty that surrounded them. You will learn about their experience of delivering their baby girl. Bear will show a lot of photos about the cycles of the rivers, from the freezeups in the Fall to the breakups in the Spring.
