News you can (maybe) use: I'm going to be reopening to queries the first 10 days of every month. (Trying out this new-fangled strategy to keep the volume manageable). And checking the calendar...that means I'm reopening tomorrow, March 1.

The DS9 episode where Frankie Eyes takes over Vic Fontaine’s casino is basically how I picture Trump taking over the Kennedy Center.

I haven't done an #MSWL day in a hot minute. I'm not open to queries just yet. Probably March? But my general categories don't tend to change that much... I updated my page here anyway:

It's Holocaust Remembrance Day. Auschwitz was liberated 80 years ago. Both my bubbie and zayde survived Auschwitz, but neither was liberated there. My grandmother had been transferred to a labor camp, making Nazi uniforms, and freed by the Russian army there. 🧵

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.
Auschwitz took time.

6yo: Mom, what’s 9 times 5?
Me: 45
6yo: So if 9 bears each ate 5 pizzas, that’s how many pizzas you’d need to order?
You’re welcome. Happy Friday.

Guess who picked up a new hobby over the break. Guess who also still has her floss carrying case, complete with lots of floss and old friendship bracelets vintage 1994. This should be an easy guess.

I was right to be on Yellow Alert. The warbird did de-cloak in the form of my 6yo having an ear ache in the middle of the night and a new fever on the heels of pneumonia two weeks ago, followed by a wheezing cough and a fever last week. This kid can’t catch a break and neither can I.

Not that anyone's asking, but if I had to describe my current mental state it's Yellow Alert on the edge of the Neutral Zone waiting for a Romulan warbird to decloak at any second.
