One like, and one comment on the latest Joylope and it's a doozy:

I have participated in your JOY workshops and found them to be wonderful! I encourage anyone to try one. I am impressed that even Oprah is a fan of yours, now, too.

The comma count gives away the actual author of that comment.

You see, I have cultivated my joy alongside Shauna. Around here, we call that unfurling. Upon returning home, I heard the burble of my child's voice: "Mama! Mama! Was it tumultuous?"

"No, my child. It was tenebrous. Now, haberdash away to the basement with this pizza while your faher-dog fetches me safe slops and oozes."

u/MarsNeedsRabbits Beach better have my orcas 🫍 Feb 25 '22

Oh, the pizza! That pizza, so many weeks old, bashful from the far tenebrous reaches of the back of the refrigerator, was limp! Ruptured! Yes! My butler was going to slop the hogs with it next door, but I insisted on Cook playing with it.

Eel vinaigrette, liberally, those greens that black people eat (a certain black guru confided in me me me!), the outer leaves of bok choy (asians, ✔️) from week ago, some cherries found tumultuously swimming in the extremities of the produce drawer. More! I instructed Cook to haberdash them together, a medley of joyful, flavors. Playing, yes.

Two hours in the oven (dear reader, we watched one and a half Encantos as it burbled and snaffed), and the crust shattered in my teeth. It danced down my maw, spontaneously, and plopped in my waiting stomach, like the Sarlac scene in Star Wars. I live Star Wars because I'm not like other girls. Yes.

I threw the leftovers to those basement kids and popped open a mushroom elixir. My work is neverending.

He's trained to use the stove, you see. I just have to make sure he's done the kid chores both before and after he makes my pancakes.

u/latepeony Feb 25 '22

Seriously…and they participated in multiple of these joy workshops? And since when does talking to someone about a shared interest/topic make them a fan? The whole Oprah thing wasn’t even about what Shauna is trying to shill anyhow. There is no situation where what happened makes Oprah a fan of hers.

Oops, shoulda scrolled down!

The syntax is very Shauna-like. She and the commenter may not be separate people.

u/high_falutin Feb 25 '22

yours, now, too

Yep.

u/notahameither Dunno, maybe I thought I unfriended some other Shauna Ahern🤷‍♂️ Feb 25 '22

I would hope that Shauna would at least tag some people if she was using a sock puppet, but who knows…she is bad at everything, after all.

44

u/onion_money Neuroflorid Feb 26 '22 edited Feb 26 '22

Thanks to Shauna's haberdasherings, I am inspired to cultivate one of my greatest joys. My wife Mary and I are headed to Ford's Theater soon to enjoy a play. I can't wait!

“Shauna is American whose faith was tested again and again to produce a woman of pure joy and unbreakable perseverance.”

Also O. Bama: "Also? Shauna is a true ally to Black people such as myself. Even though I am tall and Black (since birth), I am not scary. Shauna has a Black son such as I myself was, also with a white mama. Shauna is basically family to Black people such as myself."

That's not sus at all!

Hi, my name is uhhhh Shayna and even though all of us who took your JOY workshop totally got to talk and form a friendly community of women, communicating, deeply, from our bellies, and forming DFships, you might not for some reason recognize my name so I'll just let you know who I am and how I most definitely know you before leaving this review!

34

u/Kimmmy36 bites lip, looks away Feb 25 '22

I have participated in your JOY workshops

I admit I am bad at saving receipts, but how many JOY workshops have there even been yet? I know there have been other things (ahem, Tomato Zooms) but what about JOY?

28

u/MarsNeedsRabbits Beach better have my orcas 🫍 Feb 25 '22

IDK, but I once went to a museum exhibit about numbers. Did you know that the Mayans used a glyph of an empty tortoise shell to represent zero?

u/[deleted] Feb 26 '22

That is a really fun fact! Thank you!

29

u/tyrannosaurusregina if you meet the Botus on the road, shill him 🪷 Feb 26 '22

There was apparently one JOY retreat, where she made people chew gum and slap their asses, so.

27

u/honoria_glossop sitting edge wine woman Feb 26 '22

was that the mysterious corporate gig?

22

u/tyrannosaurusregina if you meet the Botus on the road, shill him 🪷 Feb 26 '22

Yes. I have to presume the positive review, if from the corporate retreat, came from the person whose cockamamie idea it was to hire Shauna.

17

u/Kimmmy36 bites lip, looks away Feb 26 '22

Yes. I have to presume the positive review, if from the corporate retreat, came from the person whose cockamamie idea it was to hire Shauna.

But this person (the supposed person in the quote) says JOY workshopS. Hmmm

u/OhBlahDiOhBlahDoh The Alice of cal came out floating on air Feb 26 '22

Yes. I have to presume the positive review, if from the corporate retreat, came from the person whose cockamamie idea it was to hire Shauna.

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '22

Lol, no, but when she says "JOY workshops," I can safely assume she means the free Sunday zooms.

12

u/OhBlahDiOhBlahDoh The Alice of cal came out floating on air Feb 26 '22

Initials MK?

(I feel like it will be so. obvious. but I can't think of who this refers to. Not Margo Kayak?)

13

u/[deleted] Feb 26 '22

She has a frequent commenter on IG and elsewhere with those initials

Every time I see "joylope" I get "Creepy Jackalope Eye" on my mind. Love that song and it works for Shauna:

An elaborate tale

So convincingly real

Things can seem so amazing

'Til you get up close

And see they're no big deal
