One of the many messages of Passover is hope over hardship. May Jewish communities around the country and around the world find joy this Passover—even though this year’s celebrations may look and feel very different. Chag Sameach.
“I don’t mind Tigger being in the Forest,” said Eeyore, “because it’s a large Forest. But I don’t see why he should come into MY little corner of it, and bounce there.”
“I didn’t bounce, I coughed,” said Tigger.
“Bouncy or coffy, it’s all the same.” ~A.A.Milne #SocialDistancing
Is there anyone in your life you feel particularly grateful to? 🙌

I've just heard on NPR an "act of kindness" where an 88 yo was admitted with #CV19 but bc of lack of ventilators, he requested "no ventilation" so a young patient could use it. He died.
This was not an "act of kindness" or "sacrifice".
This was a victim of murder by Trump's ego.
@becky_traveller Yep! I can see two coal mines from my window plus a bonus hill made of coal waste :D
But I also have a small ravine between me and the rest of the apt houses and I can hear birds singing. So it's not too bad :)
@liziwake A lot of people, who are in normal times self-isolating by accident or by need - working from home, dealing with mental health issues, living far from others, etc., comment that the difference now is, that before there always the option of going somewhere, even if not used.
The plan *was* to go about now for a 1-2 week trip to Hungary (again) to continue on the Blue Trail. 🙄
My general mental health is not in good shape. There is a constant low-level panic attack, like a low rumbling of thunder before a proper storm hits.
Stay sane, friends.
This article is beautiful and I’m so proud! Remember that when you hear about the first trans person to do something, it means the first *publicly* trans person. Trans folks are doing amazing things everywhere, regardless of what they choose to disclose. https://t.co/gHBro0Zqti
More than half of all female homicide victims are killed by intimate partners or relatives. As work from home increases and we take the important step of social distancing, please check in with the women you care about and be a safe haven, a resource, and an emergency contact.
Lovely pitch for the night. It was noisy as the sun went down, the pheasants competing with the grouse to see who could shout the loudest. Saw the ghostly glide of a barn owl earlier. The stars are out now, the first hints of a frost creeping across the grass.
@raven_feathers It might be the need to vote for "real men" of old times when you could be freely sexist, racist, dickish, arrogant, etc. as long as you were rich and it was *awesome* and *honest* and aspirational. So Trump-ish for not-so-Republican?
