American sprinters Tommie Smith and John Carlos, along with Australian Peter Norman, during the award ceremony of the 200 m race at the Mexican Olympic games. During the awards ceremony, Smith (center) and Carlos protested against racial discrimination: they went barefoot on the podium and listened to their anthem bowing their heads and raising a fist with a black glove. Mexico City, Mexico, 1968.

Feeling under the weather and glued to my chair. BUT… found out that Pluto TV has a channel that exclusively shows Supermarket Sweep reruns. So, y’know, the world ain’t all bad.

Overall, #SNL50 was totally delightful. My cheeks literally hurt from laughing and smiling so much. And I got to share that with my two oldest kids. So… my heart is full.

Gotta love when a young team gets a win like this in (so far) the biggest tournament of their careers. πŸ₯ŒπŸ’œ

I keep thinking I should write something deep and profound about the world we now find ourselves in, but I’ve got nothing.

Or at least nothing other than a dark cloud of overwhelming dread.

They want you to believe the Sun is hot. I urge you to ask yourself: Have they ever touched it? Think about it.

Agreed! The animation style of Polar Express weirds me out.

Also: the pigeon lady was portrayed as an old woman.

The actress was 47.

I’m 46.

Screw you, Home Alone 2.

Finally caught up on Great British Baking Show!

Found myself yelling at the TV (in encouragement / bewilderment) a lot during the finale!

Christmas break idea: delete all online accounts, smash my phone, and go live in the woods.

Or maybe just keep my phone in a desk drawer.

Watched the boy Turkey Trot in the freezing cold. The rest of today’s agenda: food and family. Happy Thanksgiving!
