Hey, Shapelings in DC, Baltimore, and environs, please contact me! Shapeling Kate217 is setting up a meetup next month, and I don’t want to put the details right on the site, so I need the contact info of anyone who’s interested. (Then I will probably pass you off to Kate217, who is about 29305802 times of a better planner than I am.)
Brand-new email address is babyflavored at gmail dot com.
FJ, this is totally off topic, but I love your email address. :)
Yeah, I felt weird using shapelyprose at gmail, because it was supposed to be for all of us only I ended up being the only one using it. But fillyjonk, babydonut, AND piggy.moo were all taken! I like this one a lot, though.
All variations of Sweet Machine were taken too! What is up, gmail copycats/superfans?
I’m figuring fillyjonk was taken by a Tove Janssen fan, but piggy.moo? That’s GOT to be a Shapeling.
Right, I mean, I’ll buy that there are other Mark Doty fans out there, but every possible variation of the same poem title? Piggy.moo is for sure a Shapeling — or the person who originally wrote the graffiti! Maybe there’s a real Piggy Moo!
Kate, if anyone decides that they want to have a meeting
in Detroit, can you post something? I tried to start a
size acceptance group and got no responses? I was
kind of surprised but then again, I wasn’t. Of course,
you have my email address but lately, I have been
having problems receiving emails. I think if net neutrality
is erased, then maybe people will finally start to believe
my conspiracy theories or maybe not. Anyway, glad that
you guys are having a meeting.
Off-topic, but oh, my dog.

I inspired someone’s email addy! Wowza!
Re Ehrenreich: I’m pretty sure she meant to be unintentionally ridiculous, but that’s not really her long suit as a writer. That piece was a pretty serious elevator-fart.
That is, “I’m pretty sure she meant to be intentionally ridiculous.” Damn, I wish these posts were editable sometimes, I typez faster than I thinkz.
I’m in DC! Email address: vsteck@gmail.com
Yay!
That is, āIām pretty sure she meant to be intentionally ridiculous.ā
I think so too, but it was still pretty damned nasty.
Re Ehrenreich: Unoriginal–the Kids in the Hall were touring with a sketch with that exact premise all summer. I think they captured the ridiculousness more appropriately.
Meowzer, you inspire me in more ways than I can count. :D
**gets choked up**
Barbara Ehrenreich is disappointing me — I loved Nickeled and Dimed. I wondered if she was doing a Modest Proposal-ly thing, but it fell flat, imo. Anyhoo, sorry for bogarting this meet-up thread!
Everyone who goes must promise to give kate217 big hugs from me on an hourly basis. :)
Thanks, Shoutz. BTW, hug the family for me, please.
In the environz (for now). Drop me a line at carrie [at] edbites [.] com
I’m in the DC area and would enjoy meeting other Shapelings.
You can email me at jrho.jrho at gmail dot com.
I’m just south of DC! I’d really like to be included.
