The deadline for submitting your pictures is technically this Tuesday, Nov 1. We can extend that by a couple of days IF you send email letting us know the name of each pet you want in the calendar.
🐇
Please let us know ASAP that you plan to send photos in, and the name of each pet. Even without all the pictures, knowing how many entries there will be allows us to get started!
If you sent me email with your pet names, etc and did not receive the link to the photo upload area, please send your message again.
🐇
We are using the same system as last year.
It’s a 4-step process, start to finish. (for you)
- Start the process by sending me an email message
- Use the link we supply to upload your files
- Check for your nym and names of your pets in the spreadsheet we’ll post later on BJ
- Notify us if anything is incorrect
🐇
To start the process, simply send email to watergirl. If you need more info about the exact email addresses, check out Contact Us in the white bar up top, for details.
Your message should include:
- your name
- your nym
- the names of all each pet that is going to be in the calendar
- if you would like a small heart with the photo of a beloved pet that you have lost
🐇
Details and the link for uploading your files will be sent to you by email once you send the email with your name, nym, and pet names.
🐇
Calendars will be available to order by December 1.
Oh, and all calendar posts are Open Threads.

Pix went into the aether an hour ago and confirmation came back. We’re in!

Send you an email? To general delivery?
SiubhanDuinne
I sent five photos to the drop box a few days ago but have not yet received confirmation. Know you’ve been crazy busy, WG, so I haven’t worried — but maybe I should?
WaterGirl
@Villago Delenda Est: Yes! Send an email message to my nym at balloon-juice.com
WaterGirl
@SiubhanDuinne: I swear I wrote you back – I definitely replied to you in a comment – all your pics are way too low resolution. :-(
Send me an email or call me and we’ll figure out how to get higher resolution pics sent.
WaterGirl
I am pairing this with the Angel Match post for boots on the ground in AZ.
SiubhanDuinne
@WaterGirl:
Will do. Thanks.
Villago Delenda Est
@WaterGirl:
All too easy. Lemme find some fresh photos of Miss Trouble.
Jackie
WaterGirl, I think that somehow my email address got blocked to @balloon_juice.com. I’ve sent mail to you, Anne Laurie and Betty Cracker over the last month or so and never received replies – which is not the norm.
Could you look into it in your *spare time*?
Steeplejack
@Jackie:
It’s balloon-juice.com, not balloon_juice.com. Hyphen, not underscore.
WaterGirl
@Jackie: That one is easy! Unless your underscore was a typo
it’s balloon hyphen juice = balloon-juice.com
not balloon underscore = balloon_juice.co
(or what Steep said!)

Unfortunately, as long predicted, there appears to be a self-coup going on in Brazil. Reports all over Twitter of federal police performing voter suppression.
WaterGirl
@AWJ: Horrible and wrong but not at all surprising.

Since this is an Open Thread, and I don’t want to distract the AZ fundraiser thread, just wanted to tell folks that Jack Dorsey is launching a new social media app called BlueSky Social.
Yes, a replacement for Twitter, launched by Twitter’s original CEO. Might be fine, might be crap, but what it won’t be is Musked.
If you want, you can enter your email to get on the waiting list for their beta launch. (I’ve already done so.)
eclare
@CaseyL: Wow!
Josie
@CaseyL:
Thanks for posting this. I just deactivated my twitter account after Musk’s stupid answer to Clinton this morning.
WaterGirl
@CaseyL: That’s great news!
FYI, it’s also fine to post stuff like this on the fundraising threads.
eclare
@Josie: I read that GM pulled its ads, I bet a lot of other companies will too.
Of course GM is sort of a Tesla competitor…but still.
Josie
@eclare:
I hope so. If enough people and companies react quickly, we could tank that numbskull’s acquisition. Can you tell I feel strongly? :-)
CaseyL
@WaterGirl: Really? Great! I’ll put the word out there, too.
Another Scott
@CaseyL: Some are claiming that Jack and Elon are on the same team here – caveat emptor. I made an account on Counter.Social yesterday but don’t know if I’ll ever do anything with it. I don’t have the time for the learning curve right now…
Cheers,
Scott.
eclare
@Josie: I would love to see the acquisition die quickly, but no matter how long it takes, I think its days are numbered.
I still can’t believe he got outside financing. I hope those investors lose everything they put in too.

Request sent. Thanks for the reminder!

@Another Scott:
Can you say more about that?

Lilly should get the cover.
Jackie
@WaterGirl: Underscore was fat finger typo🤷🏼♀️
Ruckus
@WaterGirl:
No pet pics from me this year.
@Another Scott:
Yes I read that as well. What with the competition for twitter I wonder if any one limited length comment posting site will actually be all that. Being lead in a limited field had it’s advantages, being new in one of many likely doesn’t. And after looking at twitter this morning, I’m not sure that staying to see how it plays out is worth the effort in the least. Especially as it seems EM is basically a shitstain or some relative there of. I do like that one of the worlds richest men had to find others to help him purchase twitter when he couldn’t find the cash to pay for his big mouth. Now I think it would be nice to see him really see what it’s like to fuck around and find out.
Ruckus
@wvng:
1000% agree.
But I’d also say it’s up to John.
WaterGirl
@Jackie: I sent you an email message that you can reply to.
Jackie
@WaterGirl: Just sent.
Villago Delenda Est
@wvng: Concur.

Hi have tried several times to email to get a spot for my 2 pups but have not gotten the email back with the link? Anyone have a suggestion?
