Been doing too much doom scrolling. Heading to Asia later this week for work ( and )and play (seeing friends, hiking, kayaking, yoga, eating, exploring) - it’s the perfect opportunity to take a well-needed social media break. When I’m back I’ll post about my adventures and some new sunscreens and moisturizers I’ll be trying. See you online later this year.
😎Stay well and stay strong everyone! 😊

This is not an issue of geopolitics. It is not about whether or not you support the Palestinian people or dislike Netanyahu. This is about condemning Hamas, terrorism and the continuous hatred, scapegoating, and antisemitism that has focused on jews for centuries.

The world’s double standard for Jews is extensive!

Whatever your thoughts about the war in Gaza, Hamas’s barbaric October 7 massacre and taking/torturing/murdering hostages was inexcusable. Think about the Sept 11 attacks on the US - you can condemn the terrorists, even if you didn’t support the subsequent US war in Afghanistan. Condeming terrorism doesn’t require supporting war. With that in mind, mourn the innocent victims of Oct 7. May their memory be a blessing. NOTE: If you disagree - ie you support terrorism - move on - nasty comments will be blocked.

Remember when Trump campaigned saying the democrats would defund the police? It isn’t the dems doing it. Trump has defunded law enforcement and counterterrorism as well as blocking $18 billion in critical infrastructure projects in New York State.

Today, Donald Trump attacked New Yorkers for political payback.

I will not sit idly by while his administration hurts New Yorkers.

I’m not a fan of cooking but I enjoy baking. Rosh Hashanah was the impetus to find my mom’s family tart recipe. I loved making these with her as a kid: mixing ingredients (7 ingredients, 1 bowl for dough), kneeding the dough, greasing my great grandma’s flying saucer shaped pan, covering my hands with flour to press the dough by hand gradually out into a thin layer to the edges, mixing fruit with preserves and laying them out carefully. As a resident, I experimented using the same recipe in muffin and mini muffin pans for individual tarts. For my first attempt in over two decades, I used gala apples, brown and gold raisins, and apricot preserves with a double dough recipe for the large tart then a single to make six tarts with the leftover filling in a regular size muffing tin. Perfect to launch a sweet new year and were enjoyed by all! 😋😊 Works great w berries, peaches and other fruit … thinking of trying same dough for savory individual tarts too 🤔

Super easy and fun for adults/kids to make! Happy to share recipe on request.

Republicans won’t implement a national abortion ban. Instead, they’ll make accessing abortion care nearly impossible — creating a ‘ban’ without ever calling it a ‘ban.’

Everyone is talking about Trump’s ignorance and cruelty promoting the lie that acetaminophen causes autism and his claim that women should “tough it out” if they have pain or a fever in pregnancy. Women are apparently just incubators.

But we need to also talk about the fear mongering about vaccinating against hepatitis B at birth.

Hepatitis B is highly infectious. It is 100 times more transmissible than HIV and can be spread via minute amounts of blood not visible to the human eye. It can also be found in body fluids, like saliva. And, it can live on surfaces for up to 7 days. It can even be recovered from nail polish.

This means there are lots of ways that kids can get hepatitis B that have nothing to do with their mother having hepatitis B during pregnancy or sexual activity.

Before universal hepatitis B vaccine at birth, about 9,000 kids under the age of 10 acquired the virus at birth and another 9,000 from just being a kid. Swipe to see some of the ways that hepatitis B can be transmitted. Universal hepatitis B vaccine at birth has reduced this by 99%.

While hepatitis B is an STI, it can be transmitted in many other ways. Scaring people about the vaccine is cruel and it will harm and even kill kids.

We are in the cruelest and stupidest timeline.

Reposted this from .f**ksgiiven because we all need a distraction from the news and it made me smile … esp since composition/position of animals in each photo is better than the photos my friends/colleagues take together 🤳📸😆
