My challahs for Erev Rosh Hashanah. I also made kreplach (a shitton), honey lavender chicken, tzimmes, chickpeas & spinach, sumac & cucumber salad, honey cake & apple cake my son made, and my mom made a brisket. For the second night I made a pasta w chicken & sauce made of chicken juices.

I used to work in HD and have known many people with this disease & who have been working to fight it (Including Sarah!). This is amazing news.

... Well that is a look...

Shanah tovah. May you all have a sweet year.

Looking forward to reading this new article on social equity and budgeting.

This is a great reminder!

Spending the next couple of days focusing on preparing for Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year (well, one of them...). If you have any questions about prep or the holiday, feel free to ask. I host this and other holidays a lot and happy to support. And this is just one of my Tupperwares of carrots!

Anaconda is a perfect movie! No need to remake such a perfect film.

With the holidays coming up, one thing we have instituted for all holidays is no talking about politics. Not because of disagreements but bc we all do generally agree & it's nice to be focusing on friends, family, and being together instead of the stress of the world for 1 night.

The NYTimes has done a lot of damage in the way they talk about trans youth and transgender community. They seem to want to be seen as the "middle ground" but in doing so have platformed lies and people who actively want to hurt the trans community.

It is amazing to me how much the media is just... Giving into fascism and censorship. After years of complaining about cancel culture on the left.

This is the problem with the current Democratic party. I recommend reaching out to your senator and tell them to fight for more.

I have used social media for outreach and will probably for future research so it is nice to see academic discussions on this topic.

Arak and some Rosh Hashanah prep (and not saying what I am making bc my parents follow me here and it's a surprise).

A Black man and a homeless man were found hanging from trees in Mississippi yesterday, for those who haven’t seen yet because it’s barely made it out of local news.

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school. Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families? My own colleagues are silent.

What better way to start the week than some self promotion 😉 New article out with @sethjmeyer.bsky.social and Jose Luis Irizarry. Public Integrity and Sports(Ball): A Social Equity Approach in Public Integrity journal. doi.org/10.1080/1099...

Great reminder for today!

Practicing my round challah.making this week. Shabbat shalom y'all.

Along with this, I have a challah in the oven, and we are baking sweet potatoes and carrots for my daughter to eat, so yeah my house smells amazing right now!

And the preparation for Rosh Hashanah has started!

Political violence is bad but K was an antisemitic transphobic person who ran an org that tried to silence minorities. We as a country cannot move towards equality if we canonize white supremacists & let people (esp white r. Leaning men) off the hook.

My son is now obsessed with the board game Trouble! This morning he said "Oh shoot, we forgot to play trouble!"Today when we were playing, he declared "The winner gets to play Trouble allllll night!" All the colors have names. Green is grablocks(?). This has been your insight into living w/ a 5yo.

New Article with @mevansphd.bsky.social & J Irizarry in Public Integrity: Public Administration and Sports(Ball): A Social Equity Approach. Part of a special issue by @jamielevdan.bsky.social & B. Thomas. In this paper, I talk sports, which is impressive for me! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Time to start my High Holy Days menus.

I didn’t know about this, and if I didn’t know about this, then you probably didn’t either. This should be my entire feed and it’s not and that’s a problem  This sit in has now been going on over 48 hours and I am just hearing about it now 1/

Why do so many of the baby clothes for girls have some shoulder flair happening? Is this the new fashion? Are we back in the 80s? My daughter wears these outfits with fabulous shoulders and she is saying that the champagne is burned or she owns 51% of this company.

Reupping because why not?

This week, in my newsletter The Queer Friendly Nonprofit, I do another Research Rodeo. I talk about my new article in ATP about the Trump administration's attack on the transgender community. I take our recommendations for PA & make suggestions for nonprofits sethjmeyer.substack.com/p/research-r...

Got five year old on the bus for his first day of Kindergarten! And with only a little chaos (the bus came quite a bit earlier than expected!).

After five months, our nursery is done. In Judaism, we don't usually get things ready until after the baby is born. Furthermore, in adoption, you do not get things ready bc the adoption may fall through & then you have a nursery to remind you. So we got things done now with an Underwater theme.

Update: the @cpsc.gov is adding a hotline to help my baby improve in her poker game. Thank goodness, she needs it.

Apparently having my 5 month old play poker was a bad idea. Not just because she gnaws on the cards and makes them all gummy.

This is another way we often treat Dems different from Reps. One group seems to have agency and the other does not.

Went with the kids on a beautiful walk/bike ride in the park across the street from us. Nice to take the time to enjoy.

My 5yo: I picked this flower for Nick (his friends dad). Me: Did you pick one for me? 5yo: No. Your jokes are bad..

Wowwww... I love this joke so much.

I think I am day 1 ready for all my classes. Still have a shitton of work to do with one new prep and two classes with new textbooks but I am getting there!

Challah means it's almost time for shabbat. שבת שלום!

BREAKING: Big moment as CDC staff stage a mass walkout. They have lined the street outside its HQ to greet and salute the four top officials who have resigned in protest at RFK Jr’s attack on the agency’s science base. (🎥 AP)

One class is Blackboard-ready for the first day of school.

I love sitting down with Bill Stanczykiewicz to discuss fundraising! Good company, good conversations, & practical take-aways. In this podcast, we discuss experimental studies on fundraising. #nonprofitsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fb2F...

Great thread on our public health infrastructure being quickly dismantled by cranks.

Old enough to remember when Death Panels were used ny Repiblicams when they were fighting AGAINST Obamacare...

It would be nice if people weren't reminding me that it is Elul. I am NOT ready for the holidays.

We are meeting a new queer family today so my 5yo and I made brownies! One of the important things I have learned when cooking with my son is it is more important that he is learning/having fun than the usual exactness I aim for. Sy had lots of fun mixing & spreading the batter.

Your every so often reminder that Zionism is a Jewish philosophy & should be understood through a Jewish lens. Judaism is complicated & many people have their own connection & way of relating to theories, traditions, &Gd. By saying "Zionism is X", you are not understanding Zionism or Judaism.

This is the town I live in. Her kids go to the same daycare as ours. The point is to destroy our communities and nothing less. Let's acknowledge what it is. Xenophobia, racism, and just pure hatred. We need to call it what it is and how ICE is torturing people.

This is an amazing story ( @yesterqueers.com tells a lot of amazing stories) of creative ways the LGBTQ+ community has created change. There are many ways to get change done & we have a history of fighting & winning!

Maybe an unpopular opinion but Cuomo abandoned the Democratic Party a long time ago, back when he was governor.
