if you read my Jeopardy! book, you might remember Harvey Silikovitz, aka the H-Bomb, who got the invite to go on Jeopardy! in 2019 after his 8th audition...only to miss the call and land back in the contestant pool waiting game.

The story of Harvey's arduous road to becoming a #Jeopardy contestant is told by @clairemcnear.bsky.social in "Answers in the Form of Questions." In addition to the Parkinson's, he's had at least nine auditions — and one missed Call from the producers. A dream come true for him.

"The psychic inheritance of loss is that you know something is missing, but not what." Thank you, @therichbenjamin.bsky.social for this excellent book. I've learned so much about Haiti's history but also about mothers, understanding them, what they sacrifice. I wish they would just talk #talktome

The cruelty is the point.
They want you to panic.
They want you to give up.
They want you dead.
Don’t let them win.
You have to live.
Better days can only come if you’re still here.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
