While Frankie is back home with his family, he still has me thinking and scanning the street like a Secret Service agent.
Because Pittsford was built for cars—not people.
It doesn’t have to stay that way. #townandgown chacharon.substack.com/p/what-sidew...

One week ago, Melissa Hortman and her husband were taken from us in a horrific act of political violence.
Political violence is never justified. Armed extremism is a threat to democracy.
Honor Melissa by rejecting division—and choosing courage.

America’s gun violence crisis impacts each and every one of us. It’s unacceptable.
On #GunViolenceAwarenessDay, Americans nationwide #WearOrange to honor every victim and survivor of gun violence and demand their leaders take action to save lives.

Jewish texts teach us that losing one life is like losing an entire universe. This Gun Violence Awareness Month, we remember the 45,000 universes we lose to preventable gun violence in the US each year.
Join us as we #WearOrange tomorrow, June 6, for an America free of gun violence. #EndGunViolence

Being in between isn’t easy. But it can be a superpower.
A dozen of us gathered for a campaign book club in English & ASL to read I’m Laughing Because I’m Crying.
We shared stories, silence, and snacks.
There’s strength in the in-between.
What’s your story?

This transition is part of the broader shift to synchronize local election calendars with higher-turnout cycles—but it’s also causing real-time shifts in how we plan, run, and serve in office. open.substack.com/pub/chacharo...
How Odd: Why are Local Elections When?
A recent change to New York State law is sparking debate in town halls, courtrooms, and community groups across the state—including here in our own backyard.

Coincidence is G-d’s way of staying anonymous. Dr. Joi Lewis’ Meditation Journal arrived today. I could use my friend’s guidance to keep me centered and connected in all the work ahead. (Me trying not to look as exhausted as I feel on Friday night!) #joi #meditation #maytherevolutionbehealing

Finished my first pass of @ymmayer.bsky.social book, if I saw you at a book signing I’d be terrified to assume I knew anything about you, but I feel like I could sit next to you & kvetch over our mom’s leftovers and share our war stories growing up in between in different countries. Thank you. ❤️
Looking for a powerful read? Cue up @ymmayer.bsky.social book for May. Cannot wait to talk about it with everyone. Check your library or indie bookseller for a copy! More coming soon from APAPA ROC!
