Social isolation day 600
Wednesday, November 3, 1045am

Walkies was pretty good, albeit brisk. Reposting on Thursday because yesterday didn’t want to synchronize for some reason.

#bogsafari critter count is one groundhog with leaves in its mouth, *two* eagles screaming like crazy, a small boatload of cardinals of assorted ages and colors. Also spotted Zorrita, Khemtrailz and Panda sprinting around. Apparently, all the critters like coming outside at or about 10am.

Weather was mid 40s, and a brisk walk was good for my pikmin bloom preview. I will probably enjoy playing it for a month or two, but not sure if it will hold interest into the new year.

I noticed #sisto ( #sistobrak l is losing paint on the back of his head… I suspect that is because he got laundered in my dungarees a couple of days ago. I’m just happy neither he nor #harold lost any limbs or accessory parts through the ordeal. They are both exceedingly clean now, too.

Dropped my phone, looks like sd card read and write no longer works? May be time to swap this galaxy note 8 for a replacement or upgrade.

pheyden generation dx (the guy with the gun arm and skully noggin) , and a spare parts bubble droid build from some of the extra bits and greebles that came along with it. Pheyden was the first glyos figure I got back in the day, as a gift from Mrs. Bear.

Pretty nice throw in was a set of smoke colored heads, torso and pelvis from the sincrobog set (not shown). Not sure what I will do with those parts yet, some folks are looking to trade to build a whole smoke figure. Maybe i can get them so someone who is a hungrier collector than I am. If not, it will make for some neat spare bits in the future, for builds as yet unseen.

“It’s Never Too Late To Be Who You Are” (SWITCH ON CC FOR SUBS)

Following their groundbreaking 2020 commercial “The best gift”, which went viral telling a real life story about a dad coming to terms with his gay son, Doritos Mexico released another viral video for “Day of the Dead” in 2021. Doritos fulfills their promise of #PrideAllYear.

A remarkable, animated story about a family visiting the graveyard – which is customary for Día de Muertos, Nov 2 – who see the ghost of Uncle Alberto and his afterlife lover Mario garnered some 3 million views in a week. There was a whole bunch of commotion from both LGBT+ and bigots, as well as people who think marketing and communication should always be about the product itself.

The Advocate: “While some have praised the commercial for connecting queer identities to cultural traditions, others have commented that there is a mixed message of only being one’s true, queer self in death.”

Doritos Mexico responded by stating the commercial is part of its #ProudAllYear platform, which celebrates and promotes respect and support for diversity: “In Mexico, the Day of the Dead is a celebration of life. It’s a moment to share our respect, love, and unity for all the people we cherish, even if they are gone,” the representative explained. “And it’s an opportunity for Doritos Mexico to celebrate love and our commitment to the LGBTQ+ community every day. With the commercial ‘It’s never late to be who you are,’ we want to say that it’s never too late to share your true self, and when you are ready, we will support you.”
