Also, a few years back I wrote a Tu Bishvat haggadah on the theme of learning about both interconnectedness and vulnerability from forests.

If you'd like to use it, feel free (there are probably typos--I was in a hurry):

Me: I would like this color paint

Sherwin Williams: cool, we can make that in an enamel, you’ll want this primer

Me: cool, I’ll get the primer today. Can I get a sample of the paint?

SW: No, you have to go to Lowes to get samples of Sherwin Williams colors

Me: ok…?
Lowes: we don’t have samples in that base, but we can sell you a quart of satin enamel in that color

Me: fine, let’s do it

- - 1 week later - -

Me: ok, I am here to buy a gallon of paint in this color

SW: we can’t make that color

Me: in enamel?

SW: in any base
Me: …what?

SW: the closest base we have will make a very different color

Me: so you just don’t have the right base in stock?

SW: no, we don’t make a base that will make that color

Me: then why am I holding a Sherwin Williams paint chip in this color?

Tomorrow my congregation goes to a nearby park to tend to and restore the tree canopy to celebrate the Jewish holiday of Tu Bishvat, the new year of the trees.

We honor trees metaphorically by calling Torah a tree of life, and we honor them literally on this holiday.
It's going to take a while for what happened today to loosen its grip on Jewish communities, but I can't think of a more healing holiday to be heading into in its wake.
I think, at times like this, of bioethicist Laurie Zoloth's assertion that

"It is the way that Jews answer death,
with the passionate search for justice."

But I am grateful that the justice we will be focusing on this week is of a gentler sort, environmental justice.

ok, so I've got a migraine and need to get off screens for a while, but while this is good news, a few points:

-Please continue to push for your state AG to investigate. Just because this company shut down temporarily to regroup doesn't mean they're gone (1/x)
Currently, they're using the name "Free COVID Test [Location]" for each of their sites, and the ones that have been shut down involuntarily all appear to have been because they were operating without business licenses.
I suspect that they're taking the two weeks they've voluntarily shut down to get business licenses and maybe rebrand a bit.

But you don't go from a scammy operation with employees who've only been there 4 mos bragging about their $1.45 million salaries to legit in 2 weeks.

well, if you thought this was bad, I have news about another local testing site, GS Labs in Bellevue, that you're not going to like
Okay, so this is a wild ride.

I googled "free COVID testing Bellevue"

and GS Labs came up pretty early

520 112th Ave NE, Bellevue, WA 98004
interesting that their SEO appears to be tailored to searches for free testing (although I am not an SEO expert, in case anyone who is wants to take a closer look)

because their fine print specifies that you'll pay about $300 out of pocket

Holy shit. WA people, listen up. There are a bunch of these centers in WA (I'll do locations in this thread) and they're listed on some government sites as legit testing sites. (1/x)
So, first off, USA Today has already done an expose on this company.

"Marchett, who is a developer, said he looked into the website’s code for the link and found it was "hardcoded," meaning the link was not providing unique information to each user."

So did Newsweek:

"Other state officials are warning people to be wary of illegitimate test sites that could be used to steal people's personal details."

Yom Kippur is like the one Jewish holiday that you SHOULDN'T try to do religious tourism at a synagogue.

We're BUSY. It's the most intense, personal, inwardly-focused day of our year.

We don't have bandwidth to guide around gawkers.
Like, I've done multiple threads about why Yom Kippur is not a great time to visit.

And why if you want to visit a synagogue to learn more about your own Christianity, don't:
