I posted about the Papal visit and hoping well for Indigenous Peoples on another Facebook page – a community page. It drew a racist comment in response to my use of the word genocide.

I checked out the person’s own Facebook page.

I don’t know about y’all, but I feel like this summer is flying by. Even though this is what happens almost every summer of my life, the strangeness of the summers of 2020 and 2021 have made this summer feel very foreign and unlike any other one I’ve experienced.

Personally, I don’t subscribe to any organized religion. Indeed, I don’t even think about a god and I don’t fret about death particularly, even with what I went through recently. (I am not fond of pain.). I don’t pray whatsoever. I do not practice the faith in which I was raised although I do identify as Jewish from a cultural perspective as that was my upbringing.
