Lol 😂
Ain’t nobody died cause we went to a museum (Wednesday, in fact!). And I also haven’t conserved conservativism while openly cheating on my spouse.
Seriously though, that thread aged like fine wine. NYS contact tracing put infections around 73% within households and restaurants and gyms under 2%. This is my masked daughter standing 10 feet from another masked person in a museum this week. It can and should be done safely.
I am always down to relitigate how right I was that zoos, museums, and doctors offices can and should have been open. Because now we know they can be! And we know now the massive social cost that the unnecessary lockdowns had on our society. It’s undeniable.
Look at the list of places I suggested we open in the original thread. Most of these places are now open with no issues. Except all of the places that have already gone out of business.
TLDR: Please keep bringing up the thread in which I was one of the only public figures brave enough to stand up and say something in early May, and honestly wish I had sooner.
Another TLDR - He went off because I vaguely subtweeted his history cheating on his spouse as he now sanctimoniously tries to drag Crenshaw over a Twitter account he followed. And what resulted is now a lot more folks know Charlie’s story. Well done sir. m.dailykos.com/stories/2017/1…

This is so important and so necessary and not something private citizens should have to be doing. I’m so angry at the fact that we are.
This was the idea behind @kosher19org - we wouldn’t accept discounts from restaurants. We wanted a laudable reason for people to donate (hence, to HCW) but the driving force was to get income into the hands of small restaurant businesses. It became too unmanageable for us to run.
We need more of this and specifically, we need the Jewish community to step up in this way. We need a massive fund to make sure we still have Judaica shops, bookstores and RESTAURANTS.

This is just a tweet to remind you that what we are doing to small businesses, especially restaurants, bars and gyms, is theft.
A number of particularly obtuse people replying seem to think that I am arguing that everything should be open without restrictions. That’s not what I’m arguing. But if the government is going to force a business out of business, the business owner should be compensated.
You break it, you buy it.

This is tyrannical. The government should not be allowed to effectively put businesses out of business without providing definitive proof that cases can be directly linked to them.
I feel like I’m screaming into the void. How can we all sit by while the government strips so many people out of their livelihood? How is there no expectation that they provide anything resembling proof?
We started a revolution about a fucking tax on tea. America, what the fuck are you doing?

I have raised close to $2000 to buy kits from this woman to benefit the charitable organization of her choice (Chai 4 Ever). She will bring pottery kits to kids in need. If you’re interested in donating you can Venmo me @bethanyshondark.
In addition, we are buying Hanukkah kits for our kids for Hanukkah. You can buy any shape from her to give to your kids or relatives this holiday season. Please keep small businesses in mind while you are doing your shopping. Message her on the number on the flyer.
My inbox overfloweth. We’re at about $2500 raised. That’s about 100 donated pottery kits for Chai 4 Ever!

I contacted the owner and I’m going to fundraise to help her out. Donated will buy paint kits to benefit an organization “Chai 4 Ever” (chai4ever.org). Venmo me @bethanyshondark and I’ll send her money to donate her kits for Chai 4 Ever.
I already have $500 in donations from folks who gave me the idea. Let’s do some mitzvahs.
With another $400 sent to my PayPal this is where we’re at. Image
