“Digital Addicts” (54 minutes)
Kids as young as 3 are becoming addicted to mobile
phones, harming their development and possibly causing
longterm damage. Follow some of the youngest cases and
hear how our brains are affected by exposure to screens.
We also learn how platforms like Snapchat and Facebook
are engineered to make them hyper-addictive.
July 24 and 26
“Weird Wonders of the World” — series 2, episode 6
(50 minutes)
Chris Packham unravels some of nature’s oddest
creatures: a deep-sea blob spotted in the Gulf of Mexico
that mystified oil rig workers and sent the Internet into
frenzy; the washed-up remains of a gargantuan creature
that baffled scientists for decades; and a stow-away spider
with a set of unfathomable feet.
July 31 and Aug. 2
“Body Language Decoded” (53 minutes)
How can we read the signals others give us involun-
tarily? This film takes us into the mysterious world of
nonverbal communication, what we say without realizing
it. We look at the science of body language and its practi-
cal applications in law enforcement, romance, commerce,
national security and more.
Aug. 7 and 9
Double feature: “The Island” (21 minutes) and “Re-
sist!” (30 minutes)
“The Island”: On Christmas Island, 50 million crabs
make their slow and ancient migration from the jungle
to the ocean’s edge, while thousands of people seeking
asylum are indefinitely held in a high security detention
facility.
“Resist!”: It’s famed as the city of peace and love,
but San Francisco is digging in for a fight over Presi-
dent Trump’s order to expel millions of undocumented
migrants.

A true story, a true love, set to music
ASTORIA — KALA wel-
comes folk-jazz singer-song-
writer Myshkin Warbler at
8:30 p.m. Friday, July 13.
From the Joshua Tree com-
munity in Southern Califor-
nia, Myshkin performs with
cellist Jenny Q. and drummer
Scott Magee in a special
music and storytelling perfor-
mance, “Trust.Together.”
Doors open at 8 p.m.
Tickets are $15 and available
in advance at libertyastoria.
org. There will be a full bar.
Q., in the artists’ hideout of
Joshua Tree, where Jenny
had built her apothecary,
Grateful Desert.
In January of 2014, Jenny
fell into septic shock. During
her six days in a coma and
six months in the ICU,
Myshkin held Jenny’s home,
business and daughter, wrote
spells for songs, and helped
channel the community’s
potent energies toward her
healing.
Four years later, Jenny
has re-learned to walk — and
dance — on prosthetic legs
and has completed “Held
Together,” an experimental
book providing a raw, reveal-
ing look at her journey and
community.
Myshkin’s new record,
“Trust and the High Wire,”
released by DoubleSalt in
June, covers the same story
in dialects of soul, jazz and
indie rock.
KALA is located at 1017
Marine Drive.
Whiskey and laughter to warm your heart
Aug. 14 and 16
“Clean Eating: The Dirty Truth” (52 minutes)
Imagine if the food you choose to eat could “clean”
your body and make you feel healthier. This film sepa-
rates fact from pseudo-scientific fiction to unravel the diet
conspiracy gripping the West: clean eating. In the world
of clean eating, not everything is as it seems. Rather than
improve wellbeing, does it actually do the opposite?
New Orleans-schooled,
gypsy-spirited, endlessly
curious, Myshkin War-
bler creates darkly joyous,
compellingly complex songs:
literate, political, heartbreak-
ing, soul-building. Her nine
solo records travel though
raw-folk, gypsy-swing, torch
jazz, punk poetry, desert
blues and electronic post-
rock.
In late 2013 Myshkin left
Oregon for the desert to join
her new love, herbalist Jenny

ASTORIA — Whiskey pairs
well with many things:
Plain ice. A good beer. Even
Coke, if you want to cover
up the jet-fuel aftertaste of
Old Crow.
At the Labor Temple Bar
at 8 p.m. Friday, July 13,
we’re delivering another
whiskey pairing that warms
our hearts: laughter!
Cheap Whiskey and
Dirty Jokes is hosted by Or-
egon comedian Alex Avery,
voted “Acme’s Funniest
Person” in 2016. Avery is
joined by headliner Ste-
ven Tye with support from
Nathan Hart, two hilarious
Portland comics dishing up
the quips and puns you’re
looking for.
A $5 cover gets you in
to enjoy gut-busters and
boilermakers galore. As
whiskey does not pair well
with children, this is a
21-and-older event.
The Labor Temple is
located at 934 Duane St.
