Taking some much-needed time off from #America

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

January 6, 2021 was the most shameful day in American history. It should live in infamy, as should the traitor who refused to accept the election results and incited the attack on the U.S. Capitol — Donald J. Trump.

Today is (unfortunately) National #Adoption Day and this version of my profile picture is meant to call attention to the fact that New York State continues to deny me the legal right to my own birth certificate because of antiquated and discriminatory legislation from the 1930s.

@TennysonPsych Belated apologies. I misinterpreted your tweet as adults raising money in a bar to acquire children by way of #adoption. In my defense, it's tough to get a read on Adopt NI as both the .com and the .org 404, but it does seem to favor removal rather than family preservation, yes?

And it doesn’t matter what we talk about, the garden’s
Failures and pleasures, the reverses of verse, the kids’
Reverses and pleasures, or how the slow days slide
Through summer.

@adopteelaw Not a lawyer, but a bit confused about the vagueness of the phrase 'original birth record' -- Did you return the client's right to his/or her birth certificate as a viable legal document?
