I will be in #NYC at the #Alzheimer's Association to discuss "The Alzheimer's Journey: #Grief, #Guilt, #Memory, Love." It is a hybrid event (on line and in-person) that will take place on August 20th from 1 to 2 pm.

Glitch is one way to put it/to minimize it. I would say "probable #dementia," as #psychologist Dr. John Gartner calls it.

Here's a chart listing the different #variants of #PrimaryProgressiveAphasia.

How low can you go? "Every one of the Supreme Court’s nine justices is well aware of the recusal statute that binds federal judges . . . Even then, before #SCOTUS produced its own totally voluntary, never-say-never ethical guidelines in 2023, internal policy and external law required them to refrain from acting like thin-skinned partisan nuts, and to recuse themselves from relevant cases when they failed to adhere to this standard. This is a low bar to clear."

You are not a dumpster fire. You're a majestic dumpster garden.

This is true. Also true is how hard it is to watch someone you love die with and of #dementia

How about all #media cover this example of what sure sounds like #aphasia? Those of who know people with #dementia know what this is.

#PaulAuster has died. I would recommend reading one of his books to honor him. #NewYorkTrilogy or #BrooklynFollies. I have #4321 on my shelf. Time to read it.

#Media, don't make coherent what #Trump said last night in #Pennsylvania. Just play this on a loop.

#Media, please play this over and over and over again until many more people understand how cognitively damaged (and damaged in ways too numerous to count) #Trump is.

Congratulations to the inspiring #Dr.BruceMiller, who received the Susan Newhouse and Si Newhouse Award of Hope for his lifetime of research into #FTD (#frontotemporaldementia). His brilliance and empathy have touched so many, myself included. At the end of my memoir with Bruce, I wrote about how he was the doctor I wish my father, who had #early-onset #Alzheimer's, had known.

April is #NationalPoetryMonth. I love many poems but "Kaddish" by #AllenGinsberg is one of my very favorites. So many incredible lines, like this one: "There, rest. No more suffering for you. I know where you’ve gone, it’s good."

What #poem do you love?

CindyWeinstein, 1 month ago to random

"This fear is not hypothetical." (#AlvinBragg)

Must-read by #ThomHartmann and must-listen by #FDR.

Contumacious indeed. "#Bragg additionally asked the judge to 'warn [#Trump] that his recent conduct is contumacious and direct him to immediately desist”' and to implement sanctions against Trump if he does not comply." Trump's approach to #justice: tails I win, heads you lose. We all lose.
