LRT This is interesting to me today because last night at services a few people took out their phones and did a slow circle pan of the packed sanctuary. We had musicians but I don’t know if they did it with music playing. It weirded some people out and we got complaints.

The first thing is that it has become clear that for some younger people, videos from the concert is an expected part of the value proposition of a concert ticket. They were like "I don't understand, will she be providing us official videos after the show?"

20yo me was in love and 44yo me is not, so she might be a little dismayed. She might be confused about how I ended up in PDX, a place she never once thought about. She’d be so relieved I live in my own space and elated I have a cat! And a car, wow! And a job, whoa.
Would 20 y/o you be impressed or disappointed by you today?

Okay rich friends employed with companies that do employer matching: Please help me raise $7k to support @scarleteen.com's fall fundraiser. We're expecting 7 million visitors this year (up from 5 million!) in a climate where access to good sex ed, esp. for LGBTQIA+ young people, is dwindling.

Question for librarians: how is the barrier for entry these days? Like do you need a whole library sciences degree or can the right combination of transferable skills help you get a foot in the door? (Thank you in advance for any insight!)

I’m so bored running high holidays at work. I know I say this every year but I have to find other work before next fall. /o\ It’s been ten years, how do I escape?

The pre High Holiday slog: generating volunteer instructions, emails, check in clipboards, safety info, activity materials, etc while trying to fill one empty goleil slot on time. And then repeat in a week for Yom Kippur.

There is a kind of damage that comes from your own words that cannot be undone. I need to remember this. 😰

Many of you have been asking what you can do to fight the Trump Administration’s depraved war on immigrant kids — like the ones separated from their families and held in federal detention that I’ve been highlighting in my recent videos from 201 Varick Street.

Digging into critical biblical studies for some reason. Anything to distract from staying at my job.
What are you doing with your midlife existential crisis? No wrong answers. Just trying to see something, as the kids say.

People need to stop sending me email that doesn’t have to do with High Holidays. No, I cannot work on your project that doesn’t start until November! And yes, I can check on your dues but I really don’t t want to!

On Labor Day let's remember the men & women who wake up before the sun and work through the heat, rain and more to put food on our tables. Their work deserves fair wages, safe working conditions, dignity and a voice on the job. This #LaborDay stand with farm workers. #WeFeedYou

An attendee actually emailed us asking if we have security measures in place for the holidays. Like wow, what a great idea!
