“Finding yourself" is not really how it works. You aren't a ten-dollar bill in last winter's coat pocket. You are also not lost. Your true self is right there, buried under cultural conditioning, other people's opinions, and inaccurate conclusions you drew as a kid that became your beliefs about who you are. "Finding yourself" is actually returning to yourself. An unlearning, an excavation, a remembering who you were before the world got its hands on you.

Mugshot Monday - "Weak Men Mug" by Em & Friends with Morning Glory Signature Blend by Peace Coffee

This coffee mug got censored! 😂

I was super stoked when I stumbled upon this Em & Friends mug while browsing the coffee mug section at Good Will.

It's an awesome design by writer and illustrator Emily McDowell (@emilyonlife) sold by Em & Friends. I've admired her work for a number of years and have wanted to get one of her mugs.

I love the quote by Nora McInerny (because it's true!) and I really like McDowell's lettering work. I was surprised to find this mug was in MINT condition at a thrift store. And it was still in the box!

But then I noticed someone had deliberately used a sharpie magic marker to cover up the f-bomb in the quote. Uffda.

I took the mug out of the box and BOTH SIDES were censored! I couldn't believe it. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Maybe the Goodwill folks don't allow products with profanity? That's understandable, but a sticker would have been a better alternative.

Or maybe it was censored by the person who donated the mug? That seems more likely. We'll never know!

I wanted to restore this mug to its original greatness, so I found our old bottle of Goof Off. Back when our kids were young, this product miraculously removed Sharpie from our plaster walls.

I was worried the mug's design would melt off as well, but it didn't! For now, I left one side "censored" so the mug's weird story is preserved.

You can try to get lucky and find a "Weak Men Mug" at a thrift store because it looks like Em & Friends is not selling it anymore! Check out all of their inspiring work, too. Really good stuff.

Cheers! ☕️ 🙌🏻

Here is the restored Uncensored Mugshot Monday:

According to this article, Bishop will be here next season.

Mmmm that article was written over a month ago & didn’t really give a good source for contracts so as much as I want to believe it, I don’t totally trust the article’s legitimacy for that particular statement 😬 but I actually do believe Emily/Ellie will be back for s19 despite however the finale goes down and I can tell you why it’s just not based on factual sources.
