Facts & Context: The Quiet Ways People Are Trying To Survive Right NowA lot is going wrong right now. But people are not waiting around. Here are five impactful ways communities are surviving and fighting back.1. Food SNAP participation has dropped by 3.5 million people since last July and the Congressional Budget Office projects 2.4 million people will lose benefits every month over the next decade. In response people are building community refrigerators, mutual aid networks, community gardens, and buy nothing groups. Find your local mutual aid network or buy nothing group this week. If one does not exist start one.2. Energy Energy prices are rising at double the rate of inflation. Balcony solar — also called plug-in solar — is a practical response. Systems start at $200, plug into a standard outlet, require no major installation, and can save households hundreds annually. More than 30 states have passed or introduced legislation to expand access. Search balcony solar and your state to see where things stand.Sources:● World Resources Institute● Canary Media● State Affairs3. Mental Health 49,000 Americans died by suicide in 2024. Therapy costs $100 to $200 per session without insurance. People are turning to peer support networks, online communities, and faith spaces to bridge the gap. Check out Open Path Collective for affordable therapy options starting at $30.4. Voting Rights A federal court just blocked Alabama's discriminatory congressional map. That is a win. People are organizing at the local level — school boards, city councils, county commissions. Local elections have direct impact on your daily life. Find out when your next local election is and show up.5. Community Community is not a buzzword. It is a survival strategy. Mutual aid, peer support, showing up for strangers — this is how people have always survived the unsurvivable. Do one thing this week for someone outside your immediate circle.Everything begins with a conversation. What are you doing to survive this moment?I write about faith, justice and moral clarity, giving language to the things you feel but struggle to say. Become a paid subscriber.

Hey Regular Guys and Gals, we did it again. We made it through another week! Kelsey is back, the Queens anthem returns, and the dog-and-pony era is officially underway. This week, we dive into what happens when work, love, ambition, and friendship all collide while the metaphorical space shuttle is already taking off. We unpack why replacing “but” with “and” can completely shift your mindset, how the people who love you sometimes need to understand your redline seasons, and why protecting your fuel matters more than ever. Plus: why dogs, comfort TV, projectors, and staying JFF can genuinely save your soul. We also get into Hollywood's shifting power structure, why the old gatekeepers are losing control, and how a more open playing field may actually create better art, fresher voices, and a more exciting industry. RGF Bonus: Kelsey's Dog & Pony Show, Tony season trauma, bees as spiritual messengers, Blake/Justin discourse as old-school smut relief, favorite movie picks, and why sometimes the best way to stay connected to the people you love is to build something together.

Questions? Comments? We love feedback! Email us at info@baishavaad.org Rav Aryeh FinkelQuestion: Someone removed a railing from a second-floor balcony and someone else fell and got hurt. Is he liable as a mazik?Similarly, someone opened a safety gate on top of the stairs and a child fell and got hurt. Is the one who opened the gate liable?Answer: The chiyuv of bor is not only when one digs a pit; it is also when someone removes a covering from a pit. So too, it would seem that if there is a dangerous place that has protection in place, and someone comes along and removes the protection, he would be liable for uncovering this bor.However, the Mishnah says that if an ox trips over the edge of a pit and lands on the other side, rather than inside the pit, the one who dug it is not liable. The Acharonim explain that one is only liable for creating a bor if the damage occurs inside the actual bor. If the damage occurs outside the bor, the one who created it is exempt from liability. Similarly, the Gemara also speaks about a case where someone builds an incline in a public area and people walk up this ramp unaware and fall off and get hurt. Tosafos write that the one who built the ramp is only liable if he also dug a ditch next to it that the damaged people fell into. If they just fell onto the street, he would be exempt because the damage did not occur inside his bor.In the case of the railing that is removed from a balcony, the damage occurs when the person hits the street below, which is not inside the bor; therefore, it would seem that the one who removed the balcony cannot be held liable. The case of the safety gate however, may be different. The Chazon Ish describes a bor as something that is “meshuna m'tivo shel olam”, it is not the regular surface of the ground. Stairs may fall under the category of meshuna m'tivo shel olam, as they are different than the regular surface of the floor. If a person removes a baby gate, he is uncovering the stairs, which are dangerous for babies. Thus, the stairs are the bor that he created and if the damage occurs on the stairs, he may be held liable.

It was recently announced that the West End revival of EVITA starring Rachel Zegler, and directed by Jamie Lloyd will transfer to Broadway, with further information to be confirmed.One thing we do know, however, is that the Olivier Award winning actress will not be singing 'Don't Cry For Me Argentina' from an exterior balcony to an outdoor crowd as she did nightly at the London Palladium.With no confirmation of how this number will be staged when the show arrives in New York, Mickey-Jo is speculating about what the Broadway version might look like and how it will potentially impact the show...•00:00 | introduction02:26 | the balcony problem07:08 | other approaches?12:31 | what if she sang it on stage?16:37 | conclusionAbout Mickey-Jo:As one of the leading voices in theatre criticism on a social platform, Mickey-Jo is pioneering a new medium for a dwindling field.
