Dear @Newsweek: Resist the temptation to use two photos of Madonna in a 10-image slide show on trashy bridal trends: http://bit.ly/eMzK7U
Yes, @stephiep33, let’s be friends. A foodie living in Minneapolis should check out Ann Kim’s new wood-fired pizza joint, @PizzeriaLola.
Absolutely enamored with Nicholas Harper’s paintings. Goth Currin with an illustrator’s touch + some fancy frivolity. It’s good to get out.
The toilet always looks like a crime scene when you have boys ages 3 + 5 who prefer to stand (one on his tippy-toes). And yet I grin.
I can’t believe how fortunate I am to be able to work with people and add their stories to the public media landscape - in their own words.
New business venture: driving tours of ice dams on roofs of Minneapolis-St. Paul homes. The draw? AARP discount, unlimited kvetching + Tang.
“Employers added a net 307k temp workers, more than a quarter of the 1.17 million private sector jobs added in total.” http://nyti.ms/hdsXPt
This Macy’s mailer resembles a LaBelle’s catalogue. Intentionally archaic?

Worthwhile listening. RT @democracynow: Amy Goodman’s column on #Wikileaks: ‘Assangination’. http://ow.ly/3pOej

Winter in Bryn Mawr Meadows

Scrolling through John Lennon and Beatles photos on my @Tumblr dashboard has to be one of the most painful aspects of my day today.
RE: @14437914 Thank you much! http://disq.us/uau0k
Sharon Van Etten’s latest is great morning listening but 7 tracks at ~32 minutes is too short.
OK. This photo is awesome! Snoop Dogg wears those holiday sweaters like nobody else. http://bit.ly/dLCYIt
“We’ll be back shortly” again, @Tumblr? But you just got back…
Rainier just spelled his name in this message.

Rainier Lochlann turned 3 today. Three wonder-filled years of hearty laughs and staunch personality - and lots of bed-hopping. Yes, I’m one.
Krista reflects on her limited knowledge of Tatanka Iyotake (Sitting Bull) + how his teachings are alive in our midst: http://bit.ly/e8Gz2W

I get choked up every time over a remarkable sports story like this - even one about cross-country running: http://nyti.ms/ggd5wm
Dear @Tumblr: Another “We’ll be back shortly” message?
Ha! @KateMoos just butt-dialed me with her iPhone. Classic rustling and radio ambient. Bwah!
How did I get on this email list?! - “We at Marine Corps Community for USMC Marine Veterans would like to wish you a happy birthday today!”

Moshe Levy's Time to Shyne, But How Does His... →
I was left disappointed after reading the Times on Shyne. Disappointed in the unquestioning nature of so many readers and colleagues as much as in the article itself. I really thought the journalist could’ve helped people better understand the rapper’s mindset on why he chose the path of Orthodox Judaism. But it felt like more of a hook than as a point of deep conversation. It’s...

Photos of Contrasting Similarities →
A recent light-hearted post for the Being Blog:
by Trent Gilliss, senior editor
Sometimes the most striking sequences present themselves in the most unexpected places, non? Two of my favorite Tumblrs — Been Thinking and Destin a Terre — posted these photos within seconds of each other and showed up on our Being Blog dashboard exactly in this order.
The scenes couldn’t be more different in...
