Placed the stolpersteine in Hamburg for my husband’s family today. A very moving experience. His grandfather left Germany, cutting his HS education short; the parents stayed behind to wrap up their business. They were swept up in Polenaktion instead.

We named our daughter Rosa, too.

To the fascist international, “the sovereignty of nations” means the total domination by national elites, unfettered by any conception of human rights or international law.

I missed getting a picture of where the collar had worn down at the fold, but I am happy to mend this shirt and wear it for many more days.

Speaking of crashouts, my friend spotted this truck on the street in Manhattan. Imagining the nyc ultrarich decamping for New Hampshire is hilarious, like a more unsympathetic schitt’s creek

My Germany flea market trait is that I will not haggle with someone who is quoting me something completely outrageous. Nah man I’m out. What do you mean you’re asking for €15 for one of these.

(We later found one at another stall for €1).

Every morning at my cat’s request I lift him up so he can look out over the balcony railing and see the birds in the yard and the sunrise

We are bringing back making costumes out of random clothes that you can then wear the rest of the year. No more single-use mass-produced plastic stuff!!

Trumpet lichens, one of my new favorite things to find in the woods.

I think first one (brown) is a scaly tooth fungus! Latter looks a little like sulphur tufts which I also saw today but I don’t really know how to ID more (tooth fungi are quite distinct!)

Nobody’s asking Cuomo for his go-to restaurants in NYC. Why’s that?
