According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible. 🐝

Excerpt from 'The Illustrated Cairo Genizah', page 33: "This is the end of the biblical book of Nehemiah, written in Hebrew and vocalised with the Babylonian vowel system. In contrast to the Palestinian and Tiberian systems – which mainly used dots to represent vowel sounds – the Babylonian system also used miniature Hebrew letters for vowels and accents. Like the Palestinian system, the Babylonian vowel signs fell out of favour with the rise of the Tiberian system. This fragment includes a colophon (in the middle of the lefthand page) from a scribe named Joseph ben Nimorad, stating that he copied the book in a town in Iran in the year 903/904 CE. This makes it one of the earliest known dated Hebrew manuscripts. While Joseph was a member of the Jewish diaspora community that lived in Iraq and Iran, eventually someone carried his manuscript to Egypt."

This is a fragment from the oldest Hebrew Bible manuscript with a given date of production. It's the end of the book of Nehemiah, pointed with Babylonian vowel signs. A Jewish scribe named Joseph ben Nimorad completed it in 903/4 CE at Gunbad-i-Mallgan (modern Dogonbadan, Iran).

My kids' school is going through a re-accreditation process and the accreditation people want to speak to some parents. I've been asked to participate.

I will be on my best behavior and tell them my kids are getting the best learnin' and educatin' but I secretly want to say something unhinged.

Exactly. Today I need a big puffy coat that is also a lightweight rain coat.

Limiting it to once a week and following it up with a moisturizer works for me but yeah, skin is weird.

Hey, I still use the St Ives Apricot gravel scrub once a week. 😆

American health care: We're going to invent medications that make you able to function but make it incredibly arduous to obtain them. And you get to repeat it every 30 days.

The whole rigamarole of having to contact the doctor through MyChart (sometimes multiple times) to ask for new prescriptions to be sent to the pharmacy and then follow up with the pharmacy to make sure they're received and insurance approved and filled and ready every single month is exhausting.

I love being reminded that G-d isn’t mentioned at all in the Book of Esther. That the force for change is only a someone, a person being brave enough to step forward to make sure that people are saved. Reflecting on that tonight and the hope that we can all be so brave when necessary.

Washington state and British Columbia will have different times for part of the year. Wild.

I had a *biopsy* in January and a follow up appointment today.

My kid: "Mom, why did you have that lobotomy anyway?"

Super excited that for once, I'm not the family member who pushed us over the medical insurance deductible amount this year.

War is peace, etc.

I had a bit of a heads up because I got a text from my brother letting me know he was on the last plane out. He was in Qatar until late last night.
