  Seeing videos of Minnesotans placing their "I Voted" stickers on the memorial to the victims murdered by ICE broke me this morning. #AlexPretti #ReneeGoode #Minnesota #USPol

  My best friend's contractor didn't show for work yesterday. Last night, his brother showed up and knocked on his door. "My brother was picked up by ICE at his immigration hearing. When he called me, he told me to come to your house and finish the job." They gave him money and told him to go home. My friend found a lawyer for the contractor last night, but as he said, "I'm not sure if I'm more shaken as an American or as a Jew." We have to end this nightma...

  Happy Sunday, everyone! Quiet day. Rainy out. Husband is flying back from his trip home to Michigan today. One last weekend chore remains: putting away clean laundry. But maybe I'll run a bath first.... #Dogs #DogsOfMastodon

  My Deaf therapist just shared with me that in the Deaf cultural studies crowd, they joke that "hard of hearing" is actually "soft of deaf" and I love that! 🙌 🤟 #Deaf #DeafCulture #ASL

  The husband is heading upstairs to call his mom. We just placed bets on how long it will take her to bring up her bowels. #MotherInLaw

  Attended an open house for a Jewish friend's mom last night. For all sorts of really complicated family dynamics, he's not attending the funeral, so this was his way of saying goodbye. It was such a lovely evening - all of his close friends were there, a rabbi friend of the family was there to say the Kaddish prayer. Watching my friend, standing with his wife, his four year old in his arms, surrounded by 40 of his closest friends, I thought, "THIS is family." ❤️ #FoundFamil...

  It's a fun culinary weekend! Last night, we made Syracuse salt potatoes with our cod and veggies, this morning we had fresh blackberry syrup made last night in the Zojirushi bread maker, and tonight it will be a Lebanese cucumber salad with yogurt, garlic, and mint, and for dessert, fresh peaches over vanilla ice cream. Potatoes, black berries, peaches, and cucumbers are all thanks to the Saturday morning farmer's market! #Food #FarmersMarket

  When the Supreme Court announced on June 26, 2015 that Marriage Equality was the law of the land, church bells began to ring in all the churches in our neighborhood. That night, pulled by our gadar, we decided to drive down to the White House - and found this! #LGBTQ #MarriageEquality #WhiteHouse #WashingtonDC

  Went to Trader Joe's in DC today. Parked in a handicapped spot, got out with my cane, found the elevator broken — stairs only. Talked to store manager. No repair date. No alternative access plan. But I did get a "disabled customers are a priority." The ADA passed in 1990. Thirty-six years later and "have you tried the stairs?" is still a thing. 😤 #DC #DMV #Disability #Accessibility #DisabilityRights

  @emd@cosocial.ca @ZenHeathen@beige.party Ugh - I am so sorry. I honestly thought that it was open to Canada, but apparently right now the developer is hoping to expand both to Canada and the UK. If I come across further information I'll post it. I'll add "US only" to my original post.

  @ZenHeathen@beige.party You are!!!! Let me see if I can find out where!

  Woah - this link is gold! If you have access to Libby through your public library, you can type in your local library system and this will tell you all other Libby systems you’re eligible for! Edit: I though this app was available in Canada, but it appears that it currently operates only in the US, with plans to expand to Canada and the UK. Apologies! https://reciprocard.com #Libby #libraries #books #bookstodon

  Countdown to my back surgery on May 29! I put off scheduling the surgery for several weeks - out loud I was all like "I need to find the best time for my clients and my work" but inwardly I was just freaking out and putting it off. Surgery will mean going off lupus meds for 3 weeks and that is something that I'm really not looking forward to, but now that surgery is actually scheduled, I'm actually excited to get it done!
