My Mother’s Love Grew in My Garden. It Still Does
A few weeks ago was my mother Betty’s yartzeit. 18 years. My mother has now been gone the length of my entire childhood. Those first 18 years seemed like an eternity as I was growing up. A lifetime, in fact. Yet now 18 years seems to have passed in a flash. It could be 8 years, or sometimes it feels like 18 months. Grief time doesn’t follow physics. Eighteen years ago this summer, a few months…
RIP RFK The Day Hope Died
Kennedy Campaign Worker in tears 1968 Robert F. Kennedy represented hope. But on June 6, 1968, a nation was left once more to watch and grieve and wonder after another senseless act of violence robbed us of that hope. The GE alarm clock in my bedroom set to get me up in time to catch the school bus didn’t go off, as usual, that morning of June 5th, 1968. Instead, my mother came into my bedroom…
Marilyn Monroe and Me
I was four years old in 1959, when I first dressed up as Marilyn Monroe, and it would follow me to my freshman year at Syracuse University, where I regularly roamed the halls of my dorm, decked out as the blonde bombshell. Not for a party. Not for an event. For no other reason than it was what I always enjoyed doing. I was just me being me. Being Marilyn. From the moment I saw an incandescent…
An Off Color Remark - White Like Me
On the same sunny Sunday that thousands of my fellow citizens gathered on the National Mall for a day-long event to “rededicate” America to Christianity, thus leaving millions of non-Christians like me out in the cold, I was told by a reader of this blog that because I am Jewish, I am not white. Color me dismissed. One nation under God. A white God. A Christian God. Jesus Christ, help us. It…
This Memorial Day, Don't Let Them Have Died in Vain
They didn’t give their lives to live in a dictatorship. They didn’t give their lives to a country that would turn against its people, deprive them of resources, finances, and health care. They didn’t give their lives to a country that would attack civil liberties, allow masked thugs to roam our streets, and whisk children away to live in internment camps. For 250 years, these soldiers and sailors…
Trash Talking Trump
Late last night, Donald Trump, our very unpresidential president, posted an AI-generated video showing him tossing Steven Colbert into a dumpster in yet another childish outburst mocking his enemies. The video, posted to Truth Social, shows Colbert onstage for the taping of the last episode of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” before Trump walks up behind him, grabs him by his shoulders, and…
Steven Colbert's Long Goodbye Comes to an End
First they came for the comedians… Steven Colbert’s long goodbye came to an end last night We lost one of the nation’s funniest and most courageous, truthful critics of Donald Trump and his lawless, authoritarian regime. Shame on you, CBS. You will forever sport a black eye. Our democracy will be the worse for it. First they came for the comedians… Colbert made us think. He made us laugh. Two…
Our Skeletal State of America: When is Thin Too Thin?
Looking like a skeleton is no longer just for Halloween; it’s the latest Hollywood trend on the fast track to becoming a beauty standard. As award seasons and fashion week converged, shockingly skeletal women were walking the red carpet and sashaying down runways. You could spot Ozempified actresses on the red carpet sporting collarbones and sternum like another accessory from Van Cleef and…
Watch- American Diversity Whitewash
Make America Great Again or Make America White Again? That is the question I ask in my short, but timely video “American Diversity Whitewash” that takes apart the fake image of diversity sold to Americans for decades and how it has helped create the white-washed world of Donald Trump. The video is based on my collage “American Diversity Whitewash,” which will be on view at The Hecksher Museum…

Missing My Father and his America
Yesterday, my thoughts were all about my mother. Today I’m thinking of my father Marvin, on his 9th yahrzeit. As so many of us who are children of the greatest generation, there is an uncomfortable relief I feel that he is not here to see the country he loved and fought for destroyed. The post-war world of tomorrow that fueled my father’s dreams and was passed on to me is gone. I cry for the…
A Mothers Day for All
Mother’s Day is a complicated day for so many of us. For those like me who no longer have a living mother yet live with their spirit and love every day it can be a difficult day of longing, deeply missing their presence. Equally difficult are those whose mothers were sadly never cut out to be mothers and could never give their children what they needed, making it a different day of longing, and a…
Trump's Love Tap
When was the last time Donnie consulted a dictionary? Even a thesaurus? Words matter, but it doesn’t seem to matter much to Trump. Is it any surprise a man accused of sexual misconduct by dozens of women and brags of grabbing women by the pussy would call our latest strike on Iran “ just a love tap?” Did a jury misunderstand that his attack on E Jean Carrol in a Bergdorf dressing room was…
Sleeping With Our Dogs
With my dog Max 1995 At this age, I may have lost count of how many people I’ve slept with in my life, but I can count on my hand the number of dogs with whom I’ve shared my bed. Only two. You always remember your first, and my yellow Labrador retriever, Max, was memorable. (Frankly, a lot more memorable than the awkward 19-year-old closeted gay boy who holds that human distinction ) For thirteen…

American Hate- Who's Keeping Count?
When little Johnny walked up to the classroom blackboard to work out an arithmetic problem, he had no idea the firestorm his chalk scribblings would create. At the first sight of the threatening numerical combination of 8647 written out for all to see, his eagle-eyed teacher swiftly sent Johnny to the principal’s office, where a group of stern truant officers sat in wait. Without so much as a…
Fast Food Fit For a King
There was no McDonald’s delivery to the Oval Office during the King’s recent visit. Despite his love of Big Macs, Donald Trump was specifically ordered NOT to serve McDonald’s to King Charles under any circumstances. The Monarch utterly hates fast food. He is no Burger King. But his grandfather, King George VI, had a soft spot for the food of the people. There is a precedent for presidents…
