It costs zero dollars to show solidarity with your fellow workers instead of siding with billionaires.

Don’t be afraid if the sun goes dark today.
That’s just an omen.
Nothing to worry about.

"We hear a lot about self-esteem, but Ferrari said social esteem is as important. “People are very, very concerned about how others feel about them.” There’s a tendency to think: “I’d rather people think I lacked effort than lacked ability.”" https://t.co/6of8o9VtYS

Would really appreciate it if any Spartanburg folks could help out with this one!

Question for my Spartanburg followers: I’m working on a @GoUpstate story about how people are celebrating Thanksgiving this year. Anyone doing things differently this year — Friendsgivings, Thanksgiving picnics, smaller celebrations? PM me if you’d be interested in sharing!

[Samantha Swann @onegingergeek]

I stand by this, but I’ve definitely started cooking more in the six months. 🍜🥧🥙

Check out this story I wrote for ⁦@GoUpstate⁩. So glad to share the stories of these local arts organizations, how they’ve been impacted by the shutdown and how they’re adjusting. Local arts will not look the same. https://t.co/K3lpMImHwI

Thanksgiving and Christmas are competing for downtown.

Going bananas tonight 🍌(Sorry, couldn’t resist!) Seriously though, this chocolate-butterscotch chip banana bread is pretty delicious. 😋 #easybakes

And, of course, there were many Art-o-Mats. :)

[Samantha Swann @onegingergeek]

Also, great shopping. 🛍 Some favorites included @BookmarksNC and Visual Index, a cool little art shop with pieces by artists from almost every state (48/50).

I also had brunch at @BlackMtnChoc. The drink is called a California Dreamin’ (peach tea + orange juice). ☺️

"Nothing lasts forever." is a phrase with two meanings, and they're both true.

[Samantha Swann @onegingergeek]

@KirklandDesign I am literally astounded by how well this turned out. Definitely sharing this recipe soon.😮😋
