"Humans are an unusually disruptive species, and we’ve done just about everything possible to remove ourselves from nature. . . . We’re too far removed, and when we don’t remove our poop, or at least bury it, it sticks. Literally."
Kelton Wright for The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/ng-interactive/2025/jul/01/you-love-the-outdoors-so-why-are-you-pooping-all-over-it

The house we're staying in at the moment has a beautiful big lawn out front.
And we brought the dog. She bombed the photo.
I used to wonder why so many houses we looked at had those white streaks around the chimney.
I wonder no more.
John had just finished seating himself onto the toilet when the cubicle door opened and a man entered.
"WTF?" exclaimed John. "How dare you?"
"Oh... nobody told you?" The mustachioed man seemed taken by surprise. He closed the door behind him.
"No, what is this?"
"I am your CPA."
"Can't you see I'm pooping. I don't need tax advice!"
"No, no, no. I'm not an accountant. I'm your Certified Pooping Assistant." He smiled from cheek to cheek. "Convenient, isn't it?"
I ran out of energy towards the end of #ShavuotLive yesterday, so I didn't keep up my running commentary... but because I don't want to forget some of the insights I gained from the experience, I thought I would share some reflections (post metaphorical "mountain top") from the last few hours of the program:
Hour #17 - I really liked this session by Chava Shapiro called ""G!d, Glitched: Spinoza and the Kabbalists," which served as a good introduction to Baruch #Spinoza, but also as a reminder of the ways that Spinoza's ideas might motivate us to reconsider what the future of #Judaism might look like.
Hour #18 - Danya Ruttenberg's session "Resilience Isn't A Solo Project: The Interdependence Lessons From Ruth" was helpful, particularly in how Danya highlighted the choice that Ruth had in insisting to Naomi that, "no, you can't do this alone. I'm not abandoning you." It really is all about inter-dependence.
Hour #19 - Raye Schiller & Antonia Lassar's session "Why is Gossip Good for the Jews? with the Yenta Podcast" was an absolute riot, illustrating yet again how ANYTHING can be #Torah, even stories about #poop. (and I'm not kidding about this)
Hour #20 - I missed this one
Hour #21 - #ArthurWaskow (yes, that Arthur Waskow)'s session "The Thunder on the Other Side of Sinai" was too beautiful and too tender to reduce down to a short summary, but I very much want to listen to this one again and to engage with the text he shared with us.
Hour #22 - I caught only parts of Miriam Terlinchamp's session "Celebrating our 2024-25 Judaism Unbound #Gerim (#Converts/Jews-By-Choice)" but the parts I heard were SO good, and I was very moved by the amazing people who are new Jews thanks to Judaism Unbound's "Judaism Inbound" program.
Hour #23 - I listened to Dan Libenson's session ("How to Choose Anything: Advice from Moses’s Father-in-Law") while I was biking to the Pride parade in OKC. It was a good listen, but I especially found it interesting that Dan argued that Moshe only followed part of his father-in-law's advice, but not all of it.
Hour #24 - I got to listen to only part of the final Siyum (closing session) because I was riding my bike in the OKC pride parade with my friends from the The Peace House OK, but this felt meaningful to me because a lot of my own understanding of Queer takes on Torah and Judaism has come by way of the Judaism Unbound podcast.
All together, I think I heard 17 of the 24 sessions. It was a good #Shavuot.

Two Stormtroopers in a bathroom. One is in a stall. The other one is standing just outside the stall.
Stall Stormtrooper: I should not have eaten that street food. AAAAAAARGh...
Other Stormtrooper: Yikes! Maybe you should go to a doctor right now.
Stall Stormtrooper: Nah. I'll be okay... but I don't really feel like a Stormtrooper.
Other Stormtrooper: How do you feel like then?
Stall Stormtrooper: More like a Stormpooper. Haha.... Oh fuck... AAAAAAAARRGH...
It seems that the #dog #poop problem is not limited to #Budapest. However, other Hungarian cities have nicer warnings. I spotted these in #Szentendre 😉

Did You Drop This? (t)
There is nothing like late afternoon light for photography. A natural golden hue. Although, I have to admit that sometimes I have a hard time differentiating objects as the light wanes. I don't know how many shots I took of this object before I realized it wasn't an asbestos rock.
