https://freelandcommunications.wordpress.com/2013/12/01/black-friday-fever

Discussions and thoughts on best practices in public relations and social media. December 1, 2013. December 7, 2013. Black Friday fever the excitement of the crowds, the anticipation of the sale, the rush of adrenaline as you grab the last of that coveted half-priced item what’s not to love? For some, this is an annual rite of passage and a way to knock out all of your holiday shopping in one night. For others, it is a perversion of a much loved family holiday. According to an infographic. But it’s not j...

A fine WordPress.com site. November 2, 2016. The annual poppy rant. This was written in response to a piece that was (to my mind) appalling. It was in the Huff Post and it was an astonishingly ill-informed personal boast by someone who seemed quite pleased with himself for refusing to wear a poppy. I would normally let you see what provoked me, but I refuse to give the oxygen of publicity to such ignorant nonsense. This was my response. September 13, 2015. Give til it hurts. This not about established ch...

Discussions and thoughts on best practices in public relations and social media. Sh*t on Samra’s Desk. December 9, 2013. March 9, 2016. In her social media class, I threatened to create a Tumblr blog called. Sh*t on Samra’s Desk. One day I finally started documenting all of the strange things she collects. Here are five of the most notable (in my opinion) and odd relics from her office. What could be more sanitary on an open wound than a strip of bacon? Mask is Jack Black from. Somehow she managed to vis...

100% for the Planet — Lisa Wynne

http://www.lwynne.com/thoughtsanddistractions/2016/12/2/100-for-the-planet

Pen and Paper Zines. Pen and Paper Zines. When I was growing up I wanted to be a fashion designer. 100% for the Planet. Last Friday, shoppers drank deeply from the cup of consumerism in a retail phenomenon known as Black Friday. Being from a country where adjective weekday first and foremost evokes notions of Bloody Sunday, this sounds positively terrifying. And it kind of is, this website. Patagonia to the rescue! And fights its evils (i.e. help the planet! December 02, 2016. Gassan; Moon Mountain.

The Fowler Family Parry moves to Vermont: November 2014

http://fowlerfamilyparryinvermont.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

The Fowler Family Parry moves to Vermont. Monday, November 24, 2014. I've always told my girls that we're rich. We have money enough to eat what we want to eat and to help a few of those who don't. That's my definition of wealth. To have too much is, in the words of a Fairground Attraction song, too absurd. Which monitors how many people are killed each year. Killed shopping. In a way that's just the start. Tuesday, November 11, 2014. I smiled, said good morning, and explained I’d like to talk abou...

Jenni Reilly's Official Blog. Adventures of Yard Saling. Adventures of Yard Saling Pics. Death by Black Friday. Well you won't see that written in my obituary any time soon. Although it has been known as the biggest sale day year after year, bringing out millions of shoppers all on one day. A time where people have just filled their bellies the day before which gives them the energy and stamina to deal with long lines, pushy people, and pepper spray? Doesn't anyone know how to sell anything anymore?

Black Friday – is it worth it? | Mpinion

https://mpinion.wordpress.com/2014/11/28/black-friday-is-it-worth-it

A fine WordPress.com site. November 28, 2014. Black Friday – is it worth it? Black Friday is an import from the United States. It started out as a way of filling the Thanksgiving weekend. But, thanks to the internet, Black Friday is now over here. Add to that the number of major brands and stores that are US-based, sourced or financed, and it is not hard to see why its arrival over here has been so rapid and so complete. But is it worth it? But we are still in November. So why discount today? Well, so fa...
