I run a charity called The Laptop Project that refurbishes tech for people in need.
Thanks to a generous donor and the VERY hard work of three of our volunteers (including a former intern), we were able to send out a batch of *20* laptops to families that had been impacted by the recent storms...

“Oh?”

One of the dogs ABSOLUTELY defiled the foyer today. Wow. That was intense. Took forever to clean and had to turn the house fan on to air this out.
Poor thing.

A little while ago, I went outside to see if package I am EAGERLY awaiting was there. Nope.
A few minutes later, my phone sends me an alert that there is a package outside. YAY!
HA HA no. The alert was the system detecting me walking out to look for the package.

“For some, Cheshvan is a relief. For others, it is the month where the void echoes loudest. The month where the floodwaters of family dynamics, communal expectations, and emotional overwhelm finally recede and we’re left with what survived – or didn’t.”

Parshat Noach and the Bitter Month That Does Not Pretend
Jewish tradition offers its own quiet rituals. The Baal Shem Tov teaches that entering the ark is a spiritual act or a retreat into truth. Cheshvan echoes that: not performance, but protection.

The boy has asked me to stop referring to some recipies as “too Ashkenormative”.
He informs me that it’s gotten to the point where I sound like I’m using it as a slur.
Kid might have a point.
