I’ve heard Naomi Wolfe is in NYC. If anyone out there could connect us I’d be grateful. It just occurred to me that the one woman who might have compassion for those of us not falling in line and possibly causing the ladies who lunch some angst was kicked off this platform…
…what was it for exactly again? Ladies…anyone remember? Ya think one day we may whisper again “everybody knew?” Yeah. #metoo.



Any help with any contacts here in NY would be incredible. We need to make sure this doesn’t happen to the next generation.
We don’t have to make their mistake. Agreed? Cool. #metoo.

The Legacy of 9/11 Dogs – American Kennel Club

I got to meet a Golden Retriever yesterday. His name is Luke. He’s 8 years old and was rescued by his owner when he was 3 months old and together they now live blocks from the site. akc.org/expert-advice/…
Theres something about Luke. He’s cautious, protective, kind, and timid. He’s a little jumpy. He stands with his four paws on the ground at the WTC in a way that makes you wonder if his hips might be troubled. His owner told me later that they are just fine. She didn’t know
about the dogs of 9/11. Shes the about the same age I was when the buildings fell. When I told her she and I both couldn’t help but look at Luke. There’s something about him. It’s like he knows and somehow he’s where he should be - it was a remarkable thing to experience.

There’s an outdoor bar at #wtc now. It plays music that fills up the nearby space around the site. The first I heard was The Piano Man as I kept walking from St. Paul’s Chapel down toward the water.
I found myself there and, despite initial reactions to the surreality, as I walked back into Manhattan I found that place is in fact…well, right. It felt right. It also allowed me the time to drink a glass of wine in memory of my friend and …of a lot.
I hit record when some songs came on both for my own keepsake and to share privately with some who were part of that time in this city when we were just starting our adult lives and horrified that so many just like us had theirs cut short- often the best amongst us.

This is an incredible editorial from @KarenLehrmanB, the publisher of @TheWhiteRoseMag. Her vision, to shine a light on the illiberal left while also urging those who don’t trust they can speak out that, not only is it right to and that they must do, but also that
they can and will find fellow voices once they do. It permeates from this piece. A theme, for me, of recent weeks has been a fear that I’m yelling into a void, and then voices telling me out right that, no that worry is not true. There are millions of us.
“There are bullies of action and there are bullies of inaction—those who enable and empower evil.” She is right. There are so many examples of such behavior I can think of both in my personal life, but also that has impacted and I’d say without apology, hurt us all.

So this didn’t take long.

I’m a woman. I have a medical reason which means that if I get the vaccine I risk harm to my body. A lot. I risk pain more than natural childbirth.

But this fellow NYer’s bio says vaccinate don’t hesitate.

My body isn’t politically chic.
I can’t even get preventative care despite the rhetoric that vaccination somehow is somehow in my best interest.

I can’t go out to dinner, dating is…well…awkward. And therefore will I have the opportunity at 43 to have a family; the way I planned?
Where were these women when the fertility discussion wasn’t about abortion?

She says she’s a doctor and a mother therefore she’s sharing her thoughts.

Really.

Maybe you should talk with mine - mom to mom.
She says “we are all scared.”

Not as scared as I am, doc.

I often say partisanship is poison. I deeply believe that.

I also deeply believe that it is dangerous to refer to our nation as a Democracy rather than a constitutional republic.
However…I also think we need to remember to trust our principles…not our government.

That means also that some people in government will say things that I will deeply disagree with.
That doesn’t mean they may not have had something to say meant only in good faith. Or that they never said anything worthy of our principles. Quite the contrary.

There is no way a person with his qualifications and at his age could not know at some level how insane and deceitful the tweet im reacting to was.

Either he has become a victim of mass hypnosis or…we are looking at something so malicious i can’t even process it.
Some people claim to be masters at hypnosis/Persuasion etc. If they really are they’ll know who Dr. Herbert Spiegel is and why I mention him in relationship with this tweet.

Maybe one of them will see this and … I don’t even know.

Frankly right now I’m so struck by the
magnitude of what we are dealing with that I’m almost at this

Too huge for me to make even a dent in it.
