  7. After the con, we stopped at one of our favorite burger spots for a meal. Today was also #Omaha #Pride but we opted out of the parade because of the heat.

  8. "In this moment of rising #antisemitism, I’ve noticed that the way I remember, and retell, my own childhood has changed too.

    When people hear I’m from #Omaha, they usually say, “I didn’t know there were #Jews there.” I tell them there were, just not many, and that it was a lovely place to grow up #Jewish. When people ask about antisemitism, I usually say I grew up with almost none. That was true. Mostly but not entirely.

    A few years ago, before #October7, I was on a podcast when that tension caught up with me. Right after saying I’d experienced very little antisemitism, I mentioned, almost as an aside, that in second grade, someone came to our home in the middle of the night and painted a #swastika on our front door.

    “That sounds like a lot of antisemitism,” the interviewer said. She was right.

    Why had I always left that detail out? It happened, it was part of my childhood story. But we washed it out..."
