Drooling Over Boys with Bishop

Still unbelievable...

In going through the tens of thousands of photos and screenshots saved on my phone and deleting tons of them, I came across the below post from September 2024 on JeffreyMixed's page. Why did I comment that I thought this was so funny....what does it mean? Dog food? Dog eat?? Then it dawned on me. The presidential debates where that fucking clown claimed that immigrants were eating people's pets in Ohio. It is so embarrassing that he is considered a leader.

What the hell??!?!

The award for grossiest sandwich imaginable, possibly even worse than Gidget's Heartbreak Special goes to.......this bizarre dream I had back in 2020.

HeadCount

Turning fans into voters!

HeadCount is a national, nonpartisan organization that uses the power of music, culture, and community to turn fans into voters. We meet young people where they already are – at concerts, festivals, and online – to make it easy to register to vote, learn about elections, and take action. Our country’s future depends on younger generations showing up in democracy. HeadCount gives them the tools to join the conversation.

Every time we register a new voter, it's a win. Since 2004, we’ve registered over 1.7 million new voters in partnership with artists, actors, athletes, brands, and creators. Our award-winning digital campaigns have driven over 10 million voting actions, while our nearly 100,000 strong national volunteer squad can be seen at thousands of festivals and live events each year.

I got an email from Righteous Babe Records, since I'm on their email list, and here's what it said:

Fandiem is giving away a trip to meet Ani in Santa Cruz + soundcheck access! 

Donate for your chance to win flights + hotel, tickets for Ani's Santa Cruz show on Aug 15, the chance to meet Ani at her pre-show soundcheck, a signed item and more.

Your donations help Ani support HeadCount and promote participation in democracy through music.

With your donation you are entered to win:

✈️ Round trip travel to Santa Cruz, CA, and a 2-night hotel stay for two (2)

🎫 Two (2) tickets on Ani DiFranco’s guest list for her show at Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium in Santa Cruz, CA, on Saturday, August 15, 2026

🤝 Meet Ani at her pre-show soundcheck

✍️ Ani DiFranco-signed album or book

🛍️ Ani DiFranco merch pack

🏄 Enjoy the West Coast with a surf lesson or beachside lunch for two (2)

🚗 Gift card for local ground transportation

After submitting my donation I thought, hmmm.....who would I take.... DUH! I'd take Bishop because, even though he's not a mega Ani fan, he is hardcore involved in the power of the vote. Plus it would be a nice getaway for him and it'd be downtime together. I mean, I know I won't win. It's just fun to imagine two full days with the coolest cat to ever rock the globe.

James

In Fall of 2024 Bishop and I did a little book club together and read Percival Everett's James. Well, he read the book-book and I listened to the extraordinary audio book version, narrated to perfection by Dominic Hoffman. We met up on November 10th to discuss it over lunch at the old Healthy Garden in Collingswood.

Texting with Bishop

What was I doing the other night at quarter after one in the morning? Scrolling through old text messages sent to and from Bishop.

Girl Scouts of America

Lucy's Girl Scout troop was selling cookies again and I managed to help her sell to Bishop, Alan, Bella, Melanie, Wayne, MeMom and Pop and of course, vegan ones for me!

When you buy Girl Scout Cookies, you are creating opportunities for Girl Scouts to learn, grow, and thrive through the largest girl-led entrepreneurial program in the world. From learning how to interact with customers to creating budgets and taking orders, the Girl Scout Cookie Program teaches Girl Scouts invaluable skills that they’ll need to succeed throughout their lives. 

The Girl Scout Cookie Program provides opportunities for Girl Scouts to practice and develop their entrepreneurial skills, giving them an edge compared to their non-member peers, according to a study by the Girl Scouts. 

Plus, Girl Scout Cookie proceeds stay local! From trekking through the deep woods to traveling the world, you're helping fuel new experiences and adventures for local Girl Scouts all year long.

Girl Scouts build a better future for themselves and the world. And the Girl Scout Cookie Program makes it all possible, thanks to your support. 

Please join me in the Low Budget Philanthropy movement and help out your community and beyond in the simplest way - donating any amount to whatever charity or organisation that you care about!

BONUS!

I looped pals in to supporting Lucy's troop. Bishop's reply via text made me smile.

Random Texts with Bishop!

I love when I search a word in my text messages and fall into a rabbit hole of past convos. These with Bishop had me smiling and laughing to myself at how weird we are together.
