GAH. It's frustrating enough when a public health prof says that any variable with a decimal point is a continuous variable. This is SO MUCH WORSE. 🤦‍♀️🙄😭 Even if this were measured weekly over a year and expressed as a percentage of the days on which the person exercised, it would still be discrete.

And I'll leave you with this pretty watercolor by Brett Critchley, which is actually the sort of thing I had been looking for. Real art made by a person, even without any unicorn horns.

The end.

No dolphins, but truly the Fabio of unicorns. I mean, after the rainbow-colored mane--which may cover its entire body--this unicorn ALSO has lovely blonde hair cascading from it. I mean. Hubba hubba.

Too young to know Fabio? My favorite photo of him: www.pilotonline.com/2022/03/30/r...

And I don't even know WHAT this is. It looks like art you might get from an poorly trained AI. Again, disturbing.

This, of course, means I had to go looking for rainbow dolphin unicorn images for my digital notebook! And I found several variations of this one, which seems problematic. I mean, I guess this is how you could get unidolphin/dolphincorn/whatevers, but it still seems disturbing.

Our leader one week dug into this mystery and summed it up as "Basically, they're rainbow unicorns."

In this week's Torah portion, we are (FINALLY) finished with Leviticus and are back to the various tribes and their responsibilities. And guess what! We have dolphin skin again!

Here's how yours truly showed up for today's (virtual) morning minyan. Chag Sameach and Happy Purim!

I hear that @verumsolum.bsky.social found a UNICORN at Best Buy this morning! 😲😂

Any resemblance to persons living or dead, named Heather or not, are entirely coincidental.

It seems ironic for the military recruiter to prohibit weapons...

My weather app describes us as having "Heavy intensity drizzle," which confuses me. Doesn't drizzle pretty much mean "low intensity rain"?

A prayer for today. For everyone who has questions about gender, who feels unsure about their gender, who knows their gender doesn't match their birth certificate.

You are precious. You are needed. You are wanted. You are loved.

May you know these things and may you be comforted.

HAPPY 2025, EVERYBODY!!!

I hope that this year brings you joy and delight, a little sadness but not too much, and 365 days of spontaneity and laughter. May you find something every day to be thankful for.

Thankful for all who work in hospitality. You help us when we are tired and hungry and not our best selves, feeding the hungry and sheltering the traveler. May you be blessed with appreciative guests in the new year. #NYEprayers #2024gratitudes

Because I'm estranged from my father, I am incredibly thankful to still have a place in my children's lives. They both turned 30 this year, and they have grown into amazing adults. I'm proud of both of them--of who they are, not just their accomplishments--and I hope that their 2025 is wonderful.

Praying also for those who are bullies and abusers. Praying that you will find healing from your inner pain and fear, and that you will find the strength to be better than those who bullied or abused you.

Praying for all who have been victims of bullying or abuse, for healing and recovery. May your transformation from victim to survivor show the strength and resilience that you may not know you have.

Every day I am grateful for the Internet and the many blessings it brings, especially for those who are disabled, sexual or gender minorities, or members of other marginalized groups. Be kind to each other, y'all, okay?

I'm very thankful for the presidential campaign of Kamala Harris this year. While I loathe our pres-elect and have many fears about the next four (plus?) years, she was an inspiration and a joy. And I'm praying for America.

Giving GREAT thanks for everyone who works to clean up other people's messes, whether you're a custodian, a nurse or medical aide, a waste or recycling worker, a sanitation worker, or other professional.

I'm thankful for the work of Svara.org, and the welcome they extend to those who belong to marginalized communities. As a disabled person who was just starting to learn about Judaism, I was glad to find a community of others interested in coming to faith from outside the mainstream.

Thankful for air conditioning, fans, and ice packs, since I experience heat intolerance as a result of one of the disabling conditions I have. And prayers for all who are exposed to dangerous weather.
