It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

I think that when one’s life suddenly resembles something one would like to read in a book it is good to recognize it, & mark the gratitude, the better to remember a beautiful thing

To all the young people in New York and across our country who count on gender-affirming care:
I won't let this administration come for you, your doctors, or your lifesaving health care.
Your health care is still legal and protected.
I'll always fight for you.

This is some Nazi shit
Just now, a national trans healthcare felony ban for youth has passed the US House, with 10 year prison terms.
3 Dems crossed party lines to vote to jail providers.
4 GOP crossed party lines to vote against.
It is not expected to pass the Senate, where Dems hold filibuster power.
Story to come.

Part of the Chanukah tradition is to place the light menorah either outside or in a window where outsiders can see it. This is supposed to advertise the miracle of Chanukah. These days, it is also a way of saying, “This is a Jewish home.”
Every year I think about how it is also an act of bravery.

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah.
Praying for his full & speedy recovery.
And so deeply inspired by his example.

There is always something to be done, and that something makes a difference.
That is what optimism is: choosing to believe that you can continue to make a difference, and doing so, as much as you can.

I genuinely don't know if this is a "Minnesotan" thing or an "old guy of a certain age" thing but in case it's Minnesotan and people need an anger translator: this guy is so angry he could just about set something on fire with his mind.

You know, until AI can give a book recommendation based on a total stranger's tattoo that turns out to be the book in their life they have reread the most (open the quoted skeet to confirm) I'm...I'm not impressed. Maybe those billions being invested could be better spent elsewhere.
Hmmm, don't do a lot of YA but this is giving me Susan Cooper vibes so I'll recommend The Dark is Rising series, one of my all time favs portersquarebooks.com/book/9781665...

Monday Night Dinner. It’s wild how luxurious a big table feels after years and years of the little drop leaf table I bought at a thrift store in 1997.

The Terminator, hands down. One year I showed it to my class (robots & artificial life in lit) and the first half they were all laughing and joking and by the midpoint they were dead silent.
What’s your favourite movie that YOU KNOW is fantastic, and you couldn’t care less if movie snobs would say it “isn’t real cinema?”
