And the NOT HELPFUL sigg reply from Northern Spirit in Canada, plus my reply

Oh, and I've included my reply to her, because it was fun to write due to her message being so not helpful and annoying!

Hi. The "child" in question is a very cautious 12-year-old girl, and I was with her when it basically fell off. But thank you anyway. Sigg has offered a replacement cap, so I guess their feeling is that they'd rather have a happy repeat customer than tell me my daughter is a brute or an idiot who can't open a water bottle.

Again, thank you anyway... for not very much help, beyond offering to sell me a new lid.

Good morning Jen! [gaaaack... I never asked her to call me JEN! I hate when people are so presumptuous!!!]

It is very odd that you’ve had no response, it could be possible that the message was sent to the junk e-mail folder by the server and then deleted automatically. We are very sorry about that. I understand that you have a problem with your bottle, that the lid is damaged. We recommend that you remove the mud cap part of the top, because it has a higher chance of breaking when being handled by a child. If you would like a replacement (since we do not consider this to be a manufacturing defect), please contact the store that you purchased the bottle, or you can buy a different lid of your choice online. I hope this helps!

Thanks,

Are Jews an "underrepresented community" in children’s publishing?

I applied for a writing award yesterday. I'm not going to get it, but that's not what I wanted to share with you. Here's what I wanted to share. This box: I stared at this box for a long, long time. And then I decided not to check it. Even though I believe people like me truly are underrepresented, we probably wouldn’t fit the definition in other people's minds. Why? Well, because we're European. Because we are white. Because as everybody knows, Jews control the media. (do we???) If anything, some people say, Jews are over -represented in publishing. And yet. Some definitions are careful not to include people like me. Like this random definition from the State of California which defines underrepresented for some very specific business purposes as: "an individual who self-identifies as Black, African American, Hispanic, Latino, Asian, Pacific Islander, Native American, Native Hawaiian, or Alaska Native, or who self-identi
