Not there either. 🤷‍♀️

But...not a big deal. I'll keep my eyes open, see if it pops in soon.

Tonight's exchange with my (frequent) #Shipt shopper.

I love it when interactions like this, which could be just transactional, are made more human.

Thanks, Todd!
Text screenshot. My Shipt shopper: "Everything is on the porch. I don't shop for you before then,(although I recall last year I got a little surprise when you placed an order for Wednesday before Thanksgiving), have a good Thanksgiving!" Me: "Lol thanks, you too!" Shipt shopper: "Thank you!" Me: "Good memory! And I also can't believe it's been that long already." Shipt shopper: "Yes, it has been a year since since you requested me (to be) a preferred shopper🙂….. I am fortunate that I have the long-term memory I was given. I just recall that when I started shopping for you, you placed orders on a number of Saturdays and I stated that I probably wouldn’t shop for you before Thanksgiving(that Saturday before), then I got the pleswnt surprise of the Wednesday order."

Reminds me of this meme I made a few years back and have sometimes used as my FB cover photo during December. (Photo from @pixabay via @pexels, CC0 license. #Layout and #typography by me.)

Screenshot of a Facebook post that says, "Anti-gender violence activist Jackson Katz: 'I draw a line down the middle of a chalkboard, sketching a male symbol on one side and a female symbol on the other. Then I ask just the men: What steps do you guys take, on a daily basis, to prevent yourselves from being sexually assaulted? At first there is a kind of awkward silence as the men try to figure out if they've been asked a trick question. The silence gives way to a smattering of nervous laughter. Occasionally, a young a guy will raise his hand and say, "I stay out of prison." This is typically followed by another moment of laughter, before someone finally raises his hand and soberly states, "Nothing. I don't think about it." Then I ask women the same question. What steps do you take on a daily basis to prevent yourselves from being sexually assaulted? Women throughout the audience immediately start raising their hands. As the men sit in stunned silence, the women recount safety precautions they take as part of their daily routine.' "And then he lists 31 examples. Thirty-one."

Today in unexpected pairings. From the Wikipedia entry for the jazz-fusion musician Pat Metheney:

The music in this remix reminds me of the music of @mgiacchino.bsky.social. And yes, that's high praise.

Thinking of my college advisor & writing prof, Sandi Harner, who passed away recently. 😞 Her funeral was this AM. In '16 she came to my company & gave a writing seminar. ⬇️ We hadn't seen each other in 23 years—& I didn't see her again. I owe my career to her in a huge way. RIP Sandi and thank you. 💜

Trying @jenibritton.bsky.social's #Floura bars to get more fiber, wanted to buy one in a store before committing to a subscription. Thankfully a few stores in town that carry 'em, & that's how today, I discovered #LittletonsMarket & their café, at which I had a cookies & cream brownie a la mode. 😋
On a marbled tabletop sits a white dessert plate with a spoon on it. In front of the spoon sits a brownie with a cookies and cream layer on top and some vanilla ice cream resting on that.

Tangent: Never heard "sewist" in my life and can't say I'm a fan, esp. when sewer is right there. 🤔

The first few times I saw this commercial, I legit thought the guy on the left was Zachary Levi. (Sorry, Zach.)

#FellasIsItGayTo be moved by the sight of your future wife in her wedding attire?
A social media post in which Megah says, "There's a trend, and I think I've only seen it in the last 5-6 years, of grown men crying when they see their bride walking down the aisle. "I have to say it is extremely gay. "Men shouldn't cry at such things. It should be reserved for extreme moments of pain eg death." Under that is a photo of a groon and a bride facing each other. Both of them are wiping away tears. Spatzlor responds, "Next you'll tell us that marrying a woman is gay [shrug emoji]."

#FellasIsItGayTo fly coach? 🙄
Screenshot of a social media post by Dr. Hadi H that says, "If you can't afford flying first class don't go on holiday with her. Flying economy with your girl is g@y. We both know once she passes next to the first class aisle she's going to be eyeballing any male she finds there wishing she was with him Get back to work." Under the text is a photo, a closeup of two 3/4-full champagne glasses meeting. We can see only part of the hand of the person holding the one on the left. The one on the right is being held by a woman, and we can see her hand, arm, and part of her chest. Under that, social media user Ian replies, "So you're saying you gotta pay way more money than I do to keep a woman interested in you?"

From when I canvassed for a local candidate in 2018. ⬇️ I was *gobsmacked* by how many people responded like this. And these were Dem/may-lean-Dem voters.
A screenshot of a Facebook post by me that says, "Responses to 'So what issue(s) would you say are the most concerning or important to you right now?' that I understand: -All of them!/Where do I even start?!?/[Anything else to that effect] -[Any specific issue] -DT Response I don't understand: 'Oh, I don't really have any right now.' #ThatCanvassLife #ButTheseAreScaryTimes #HowCanYouNotHaveAtLeastOneTopIssue

Am at the @columbuslibrary.bsky.social looking at this book, Us by Terreence Real; and I swear to you, I had almost this exact thought [re politics] on the way here. #Serendipity I dont think the country *belongs* to any one group of people. But we need a national ethic of "We all belong here."

The shirt I'm wearing today. You could consider this an expression of my wish to be in MN and going to the #MNStateFair, because it is. Don't have the time right now, but I'll look up and credit the designer in a reply soon as I can.
Dark blue t-shirt sitting on a purple bed sheet. The shirt depicts a yellow star with a snowflake on top of it.

I've done both, so I a) had worked with some of those personalities for sure and b) got a lot of the jokes that others might miss. One of my favorites of all time.

From the #OnThisDay (yesterday) file. #I35WBridgeCollapse
A screenshot of a Facebook post showing Minneapolis's I-35W bridge, broken and fallen down into the Mississippi River, and with cars still on it, after it collapsed on August 1, 2007. I added the following caption, "I'll never forget the fear I felt that day while calling my family members who still lived in the Twin Cities at the time and waiting to hear they were OK. The families of 13 people were not as fortunate as I was that day. 💔 "This is why funding, creating, and maintaining robust infrastructure is so important: It's people's *lives*."

I need someone from #JonHusted 's staff to explain why they thought buying ad time on @thedailyshow.com of all places would be an effective use of their marketing dollars. 🙄
A still from an ad for senator Jon Husted. He's standing behind a podium, and Ohio governor Mike DeWine is to his right; a woman (his wife? I don't know) is to his left.
