Escape room epiphany: I am very bad at recognizing the long vs short light signals of Morse code (def something I never knew about myself 😝)

Theatre weekend

May her memory be for a blessing

This is a babaric form of torture against an innocent family AND it breaks the terms of the ceasefire #whereisshiri

There are no words 💔

Oded was a peace activist. He was taken hostage alive. May his memory be a blessing 😢

Officemate for the day 🥰 #puppy

Where are my over-achievers at? Oh, wait, that’s right, in therapy. You give yourself a hug, boo.

Today’s pick me up: a treat run ❤️

Bless the beer stores and wine shops that also serve single drinks and have a few high top tables so ppl can sit with excellent company, but without the noise and music of a “bar” on a late Saturday evening ❤️

I remember watching this on the news. I was still in my pajamas. #nasa #remember

Shabbat shalom

He is doing shock and awe deliberately to unhinge and destabilize us. So that we are too frozen and traumatized to fight back. Shore up your inner resources. Do everything you can to stay grounded. Every act gumming up the works counts.

“Uniforms and dress codes were supposed to even the playing field. They were supposed to make sure no one was left out or stood out to their detriment. But they largely had the opposite effect on my life.” - My words in the new @azejournal.bsky.social azejournal.com/article/2024...
