You read the news. You see the headlines. They are everywhere. The voices, however, are so silent, I can hear a pin drop from thirty states away. Sit in your silence. I view it as violence and selective hate. Antisemitism. It's beyond systemic. It is dangerously out of control. I'm sick of it, and I … Continue reading The Selective Silence

I only have a few days to recalibrate before I have to force myself to function like a "normal" human-being. I can't exactly walk into multiple doctor's appointments and fall asleep, though that might help the message sink in for some of them. I've been trying so hard and today I failed. Epically. I hardly … Continue reading Chronic Insomnia & Trying To Combat Terrorism

Blue for Solidarity. Blue to End Jew Hatred. Blue to show you are Jewish, or an ally of the Jewish people. I have watched the majority of my friends be silent on this matter since it began. I've had less than four of my friends say something to me directly. Listening to the Jewish community … Continue reading Stand Against Anti-Semitism

Due to a dozen or so death threats (Unfortunately, I have to involve law enforcement. It is not something I want to do, but I know the laws.

What I have to say will take some time, but over the past few days, all I've seen is RED. I don't know how people can look at themselves in the mirror and pretend nothing is happening in the world. I see the lies, the propaganda, the misinformation, and I wonder why people aren't seeking … Continue reading Dead Silence

Memorializing Year Nineteen

I don't have anything particularly wise or witty to share on the 19th anniversary of 9/11. As a New Yorker, I remember every minute of the day and those which preceded. I will NEVER forget the smell of smoke, engine fuel, metal, and human lives in the air. I'll never forget the people who reached … Continue reading Memorializing Year Nineteen

Today was incredibly somber for me, and I am certain other people felt this way, as well. Every year, a deep part of me re-lives 9/11. I wasn't afraid, not for a second, but I was definitely in silent, angry shock. Sixteen years later, I still can't believe all that has transpired since that day. … Continue reading Sixteen Years

The world was irrevocably changed on September 11th,2001. Lives were affected globally. People cried and mourned, and unfortunately in certain countries, some people celebrated what they felt would be the demise of America. There’s a special place in hell for people like that, and I don’t even believe in a heaven/hell concept. There’s really no … Continue reading The Day The World Changed & How I Changed With It…
