Synergy!


Don't call me a community organizer.

Stop what you're doing right now and go buy some stuff! Longtime's F.O.A.F. found this amazing artist on Etsy—which I'm admittedly new to and from now on I will refer to as "Etsy Wetsy"—who loves Liz Lemon as much as I do. She made the needlepoint you see above. Now go fecking buy it! (Google Analytics the Scientologists tell me when you click-through, betches. I know. ) Like any enterprising picker-upper-of-bootstraps, I emailed the artist and NOT only does she needlepoint,* she's also a jeweler:


Once my paycheck clears, I'm buying a custom-made piece that spells out "Blergalicious" made from my carbon footprint materials: nail clippings and Diet Coke scrap metal. You could say it's blergture.

I'm not kidding. Support the arts and buy some amazing stuff!

No really. DO IT.

I love capitalism.

* Schoprah's gingham-culotte-loving grandmother has tried multiple times instill the Asian-like discipline-love-art that is needlepoint. It was a fail but her nose-pressed-against-the-glass admiration of the domestic arts remains fervent. Also: I earned a D in Home Ec after breaking two sewing machines. Not a joke.
