So this is a private post (mostly because my more public post needs to have careful wording) but I didn’t get the job I applied for on Long Island. I’m not really (that) bummed…I didn’t want a desk job, it would have just been slightly more comfortable with guaranteed income and a lot of free time to work on my M.A. Fortunately, I needed this trip back to Long Island anyway (other than the fun stuff like seeing friends and family, I also have the practical need of putting stuff in my parents attic for storage, seeing as they’re going to be living in their house for at least another ten to fifteen years).
As I told them when I first said I was coming back for a bit, if I don’t have viable work come November, my backpack goes on. As I told my father this evening, I have a backpack and a tent…I’m never homeless…
So…we’ll see where this adventure takes me…Long Island? New York City? Buffalo? Back to Israel in November (tour guide course?), Colorado? Australia? Alaska? We’ll see!!

Tonight marks Holocaust Remembrance in Israel and in the global Jewish community. Tonight in Israel and throughout the diaspora candles will be lit and prayers will be said for all those who have had their souls rise to the heavens on plumes of black smoke.
I am the grandson and great-grandson of holocaust survivors, Warsaw ghetto uprisers, and Partisans. I am also the grandson and great-grandson of holocaust victims. As a Jewish gay man, I recite the prayers not only for my family, but for the murdered gay men who left behind no children and no family to pray for them…whose names, too often, go unremembered and unmentioned throughout the continually and rapidly turning pages of history.
יזכור…
…Yizkor…
…remembrance.
