I've been so inspired by @skwinnicki.bsky.social and #TenMinuteMerlin but didn't expect to get more than maybe 5 birds in my Brooklyn backyard.
How many of these birds are actually just the Northern Mockingbird running through his repertoire?

What is there to ponder, Reb Shmuel?
And this one shows America being called to choose between its better instincts (tolerance, hospitality, American traditions) and its darker side (race hatred, closed mindedness, despotism). The title is ‘What is there to ponder, rabbi?’

As a family of 6, our primary mode of transportation in NYC is a pair of cargo bikes.
Protected Bike Lanes are synonymous with my family’s safety, so I’m furious that our Mayor failed to meet legal requirements to build Protected Bike Lanes for a 3rd year.

Been bingeing Project Runway on Netflix and it's wild watching seasons 18 (2019) and 19 (2021) back to back.
Everyone is so broken by the pandemic. Can't work with other people or even around other people. Can't take feedback. Can't even make small talk. Unhelpful. Uncooperative. Rude.
