Happy Birthday, sarameg!

We had a great delayed Independence Day backyard BBQ with the extended family Saturday. Even the weather was nice, when I'd expected it to be sweltering. So much good food, and a reminder that I really enjoy my cousins' company.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

My suggestion for irony of the week - in the UK, Boris Johnson turned up at the polling place, but he hadn't brought his ID with him (which he had pushed for) and was turned away without voting

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

The French news would be better if the French left weren't almost as rabidly antisemitic as the French right.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Happy birthday, sarameg!

Our wings are not tired.

I just wish for literally zero political talk, because I just cannot.

Have a wonderful, and non-political time!

Nice! Good times with family are the way to spend holidays.

Bwah! Love it.

I hear you on the French, Plei, but they have to be better than Le Pen.

Yes, absolutely! Sadly, not as much better for French Jews as one might think, but better for the rest of France for sure.
