Today is my #memoir's 4th birthday. It wasn't until I wrote the preface that I realized writing the #book was my way of sitting #kaddish for my father who died of early-onset #Alzheimer's. Dr. Bruce Miller, #neurologist at #UCSF, sat kaddish w/me. I will be eternally grateful.

Acknowledging that I will never recover from how my father died has strangely liberated me to remember him (with and w/o the disease -- I had forgotten the latter) & help others.

I’m not gonna lie I fell for the honey pot one year and voted Jill Stein. It’s easy to get frustrated and want to try *anything else*. Being a responsible voter can be difficult. It takes time and energy to actually research and understand and make good choices. But she ain’t it

The image depicts a cartoon-style illustration featuring a figure with blonde hair and a large mouth, positioned above a cylinder labeled "PREZ." The figure's mouth is open wide, with a tongue extended, and it appears to be consuming or spewing out rectangular blocks labeled "LIES." These blocks are falling from the mouth and are scattered around the base of the podium. The background is a simple gradient, transitioning from light pink at the top to a pale blue at the bottom. The overall style is reminiscent of political satire, with exaggerated features and bold, clear lines. The illustration is signed "JAPER 18" in the bottom left corner.

"Since returning to the White House in January, President Trump has dismantled the American government’s efforts to combat foreign disinformation. The problem is that Russia has not stopped spreading it.

How much that matters can now be seen in Moldova, a small but strategic European nation that has since the end of the Cold War looked to Europe and the United States to extract itself from Moscow’s shadow." https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/business/russia-disinformation-trump.html

'President Trump, speaking to reporters before he departed the White House for the U.S. Open on Sunday, addressed his alarming social media post Saturday that invoked his newly rebranded Department of War and included helicopters, billowing flames and the Chicago skyline. Asked whether he was “threatening to go to war with Chicago,” Trump said: “We’re not going to war. We’re going to clean up our cities.”' https://www.nytimes.com/by/erica-l-green

In the middle of July
I sold the most precious necklace to my heart, the one my grandma gifted me the moment I first saw the light outside my mom's womb. It hung around my neck for 22 yrs. We were in the midst of a severe famine,& after numerous attempts to find a bit of cash to avoid starving, we made the decision to sell it.With it's money,we bought a little of lentils & chickpeas,enough for a meal to last just one day.

Whenever I see pic of myself wearing it, my eyes well up w tears:(
