My college kid just shared this podcast ep with me (Alok Vaid-Menon: The Urgent Need for Compassion on The Man Enough Podcast). Just gold. Please listen and share. open.spotify.com/episode/1Sov...

Our #dog Prudence is the essence of grace and athleticism 😍

I always start my #DBT Skills Group orientation with the ice breaker, "what's one thing you enjoy doing even though you don't do it well?" Maybe I'll show this video next time!

#DBT Skills Groups are such a fun way to learn emotional regulation… I think of it as a buffet where you try a little bit of everything and then see what works best for you. Check out www.juliekinn.com/online-dbt-s... to learn more!

Seeking #books (fiction or non-fiction), podcasts, and #documentaries about the post-Soviet #Jewish experience.
TY!

My teen driving me to school while we discuss the themes of love and free will in #AttackOnTitan is such a happy reminder of why I made humans.

Love the ear on this #sourdough, but looking for ways to improve the oven spring (suggestions welcome!).

Going to make some great paninis with whatever we don't finish from this baby.

High hydration with rye and chia seeds.

Now feeling weird about calling it a baby. Words mean things, Julie!

Rare picture of me doing stand-up #comedy in OIympia about 10 years ago. Loved those days, but couldn't do the late nights for long!

What's something you've done to push yourself?

for my wedding anniversary I usually give my partner a gift of service for the year, like I'll pick up all the dog poop on our walks, I'll set up the coffee each evening, or I'll fill their gas tank once a week. We are celebrating 20 years next month. Any good ideas?

Still loving #justified, but consistently irked by how no one applies compression after gunshot wounds.

Also, it's really bringing out my Indiana accent.

Hey #tv producers: I will watch anything with Margo Martindale.

Enjoying my current read, The Other Black Girl by Zakiya Dalila Harris.

Harris is so good at gently building tension while also nurturing her characters' development.

Chag sameach y'all! Let me know if you'd like the recipes for vanilla and chocolate coconut macaroons. Gluten free and #passover perfection.

What gets you to stop reading a book?

For me, it's hurt #dogs, dogs in jeopardy of being hurt, dogs being deprived of treats and ear rubs, not enough dogs. You get the idea.

Books should come with a Spotify playlist of music to set the tone.

Thoughts on #Justified: Raylan Givens has shootouts inside instead of outside as a Harlan County stimulus plan to support local contractors and drywall installers.

Once again gave myself bangs. When will I learn? Going to a salon later for a fix.

I said to my teens, "maybe I should cancel and try to fix it myself first."

Their objections were loud and for the first time in months they were united against a common foe.

Hey #booksky and #readersky lovelies! ISO #book recommendations that meet these requests:

- Happy ending
- Compelling dialogue
- Well written
- Dogs and excessive food descriptions are a bonus

Any genre.

Thanks so much you well-read, wonderous humans!
