I keep meaning to write about a play I went to last Saturday. November 4. It's about the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin by Settler Yigal Amir 30 years ago, and it's a musical. It's not a particularly good musical but it is a very worthwhile production, and I spent at least the last 10 minutes in tears.

Because Yigal Amir's one action, thinking he was a hero... is the turn point for everything since, and honestly including our current national nightmare and how increasingly unsafe it is for Jews around the world *and here.* One person did so much damage.

There's showtimes through December 7th. Thursday through Sunday. Different talks after each; ours was Combatants For Peace. It's at a church on 16th near U and only like $25, and it is worth going to.

I should sort of scan the program but I also need to start getting moving towards Pittsburgh.

Sometime other than now, I might write about yesterday's blood libel at Union Station, and how that means I'm leaving earlier for Pitt Stop.

What also sucks is there's chats I'd love to mention this in but it would likely result in accusations of WrongThink.

When the cats are quiescent, I get to work on cross stitchI made some progress on Upon A Star, including a couple of actual stars. Most importantly, now I can count from the top down instead of bottom up, which is a relief.

cross stitch work in progress, trees and moon

three things make a post

1) My nephew (who is currently thinking thoughts about either being transgender or non-binary) is now 7. Time flies. We had a brief family party today before the incursion of 20 1st and 2nd graders, which I bailed from to go back to work.

My niece, who is 4 3/4, is reading to the extent that she has conversations with my brother about a pluralization on her cereal box without having talked to him/been read to from it before, so that's ... impressive.

2) We have a very nice washing machine (LG, but not "smart") which started throwing errors at us today, and which we then fixed. This involved a minor flood because I didn't put one of the three different filters back the right way, but we set up a fan and a bunch of towels and *that's* fine. So: hey, we fixed a thing! On our own!

3) Apparently people in Somerville are seeing the aurora without artificial enhancements; what we got up here was, basically, a faintly green sky, but it was measurably different and pretty cool.

This is currently erroring at me, but will presumably get better soon: NOAA Aurora predictor.
