Proud NYer, even prouder Democrat. Mother of 🌈, wife of a wonderful man. When we’re not out seeing the country in our Airstream you’ll find me baking, knitting, sewing, and raging over the future of our country.
Sometimes you just have to crochet a Very Hungry Caterpillar scarf.

Nothing more fun for a nice Jewish girl than making Christmas cards and ornaments for friends. Especially when they involve yarn and fabric scraps.

A great listen on a great story by my great sister. @susandominus.bsky.social
I'm a big ham, and I love having the opportunity to read my own magazine pieces for the audio version. But when Julia Whelan does the reading instead, I BOW DOWN--thank you, Julia, for your pitch-perfect narrating of this IVF mix-up story in the @nytimes.com: www.nytimes.com/2024/11/25/m...
An I.V.F. Mix-Up, a Shocking Discovery and an Unbearable Choice
Two couples in California discovered they were raising each other’s genetic children. Should they switch their girls?

Full disclosure, my sister wrote this piece. Fuller disclosure, it’s a wonderfully written story of two families making extraordinarily difficult decisions, ultimately coming out stronger in the end.
A mistake during I.V.F. treatment led two mothers to give birth to each other's baby girls. After bonding with them for months, the families discovered the truth — and faced a devastating choice. Should they switch their girls?

Ejaculate responsibility!
Until abortion is legal in every state, lets require men to get a mandatory vasectomy until they are proven emotionally mature, financially responsible and ready to be a father.
Wait, what do you mean regulations on men's bodies make you uncomfortable?

GOP serving a master class on how to speak out of both sides of their mouths.

Just changed my profile pic to see if it changes my engagement on this app. Please forgive the attempt - I’m really just curious.

Oh. And don’t normalize Trump.

The controversy is not merely that Matt Gaetz raped underaged girls.

The controversy is not even just that Donald Trump wants to make this sex predator attorney general.

The controversy is that the entire GOP is OK with that.

Starting a phony transgender bathroom debate and hiding behind the guise of “protecting women” to distract from your attempts to push through the confirmations of alleged rapists, sex traffickers, and fraudsters at the highest levels of government is peak Republican Party.

Just set a reminder to unfollow the #POTUS Instagram account for noon on Inauguration Day. No way, no how, am I going to let the 🍊🤡 break thru my feed, even once.

Don’t Normalize Trump.

Got this pin in 2016 and thought about tossing it in 2020. I hate that there was something in the back of my head that told me to hold onto it. Off the bulletin board it comes, onto my bag it goes.

Such brazen corruption happening right out in the open. Welcome to the oligarchy.

Man, this weather really is messed up. 62° in Brooklyn on November 16. It’s almost like global warming is real.

I have two questions for Mike Johnson about the report on Matt Gaetz.

If he's not a child raper, why are you hiding it?
If he is a child rapaer, why are you hiding it?

Just thinking back on our trip from NY to Utah that was 3 years in the making. Totally worth the wait.

I prefer Attorney Generals who don't fuck children.

You would think that being an alleged sex offender would disqualify you from being Attorney General.

Then again, America just made one President.

Any way for me to keep up on the news here but filter out seeing footage of 🍊’s face or hearing his voice?
