What we are seeing in Minnesota is what authoritarianism looks like in real time. Racism, dehumanization, and state-sanctioned violence are tearing at the foundation of this country.

Turns out that trying to remember everything I have to do, forgetting, waking up panicky in the middle of the night, and feeling constantly overwhelmed does not work. So I just set up a task management app, @ticktickapp.bsky.social. Will it work? I don't know, but I already feel calmer.

Just spent way too long trying to figure out how to turn off AI Summaries and other AI created content. Also started searching a way to turn off the AI "assistant" in my learning management system. If these instructions exist, they're sure not easy to find.

Since my divorce, every time I accomplish some task that I might have put on a “honey do” list in my previous life, I give myself an imaginary gold star. This weekend, YouTube and I remedied an issue with my shower. No plumber needed. ⭐️

I write this for a few reasons.
1) Accountability on something specific.
2) To model to swaths of Jewish leadership that *it's possible* to take accountability for genocide complicity.
3) To talk about repentance & repair work post-genocide.
It all still matters. It doesn't stop mattering now.
