Good Causes
Giving Tuesday: Support Press Freedom
I’ve been tempted all day to say something world-weary about Giving Tuesday — the way it’s supposed to absolve us of the shopping sins of Black Friday/Small Business Saturday/Cyber Monday yadda yadda — but there are so many good causes getting attention that I had to go all Moonstruck (mentally) on my jaded ass. Cher…

Register to Vote, Or I’ll Tell Madonna
Yesterday, I was talking about what you could do to get out the vote. Today is National Voter Registration Day, so it’s a good time to confirm that you yourself are all set to vote on November 6. Vote411.org is a great all-around voting website created by the League of Women Voters. You can use…

Cyber Monday: Buy! Buy! Buy! Give! Give! Give!
This is actual footage of me emerging from the Internet rabbit hole I fell down last night while looking up the origins of the term “Cyber Monday.” via GIPHY It was easy enough to find out that Ellen Davis — a young executive at the National Retail Federation trade association — coined the term “Cyber…
My Extra-Special Black Friday Deal Begins!
The extra-special Black Friday deal that I announced earlier this week has officially begun! As I said, if you shop my website now through next Tuesday, you will get ZERO percent off. via GIPHY However, for every item purchased for $800 or more, half of the retail price will be donated to one of three…
My Extra-Special Black Friday Deal
There are so many shopping “holidays” after Thanksgiving now! We’ve got Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday, and (to make amends for all that shopping) Giving Tuesday. It’s all “buy buy buy” followed by a little “give give give.” Kind of overwhelming, no? That’s why I’ve decided to mash a bunch of those themes…
