Thinking of those grieving today (& always). My Dad did crisis counseling around Ground Zero for survivors; he died in June & this is my first 9/11 without him. #BeMoreLikeBruce

Also, Shana Tova serving as a somber reminder today to be better for those who aren’t with as we start a New Year. 🫂🍎🍯🫶🏻

Thinking of all the families, friends, colleagues and loved ones who have been grieving for 25 years today (and always). 

A brief story…after 9/11, my Dad, as part of his job, would go into the city and do crisis counseling for survivors around Ground Zero. 

The 25th anniversary of 9/11 will be the first I face without my Dad. I could always sense a heaviness and weariness after those days in lower Manhattan, but he was honored to be able to bring any fraction of comfort those who were suffering. And, as a kid whose classroom looked at the NYC skyline, had seen the blackest smoke ever that Tuesday a quarter century ago, and who spent an inordinate amount of time watching that Ground Zero cam wishing I could do more, I was (and am still) so proud of him.

And as sundown tonight is also the start of the Jewish New Year, it just feels like a reminder to aim to be like the best of us not the worst. Hug your people. Say that extra “I love you”. Do NOT let the bad voices be the loudest. Shana Tova & Never Forget. (Heart hands emoji, apple emoji, honey emoji, hug emoji) 

Also including a picture of a smiling gray haired man in a black tuxedo; the poster’s dad in 2018) and at the top in black text over the whole post it is dated 9.11.2026

I can try. Similar boat but as I brought it up I’ll try and see what I can find out.

FDU having the same address as this company feels dangerous for students even if this is an office building basically in the middle of campus.

@samschifrien.bsky.socialAug 27, 2026, 12:01 PM

This company seems to be located within the FDU campus…does the school know??

Seats were empty when they finally cut back with 40 seconds. I’m guessing they left early thankfully…

@samschifrien.bsky.socialAug 21, 2026, 2:15 AM

First cut back with 40 seconds to go. Seats now empty. Probably left early.

@samschifrien.bsky.socialAug 21, 2026, 1:15 AM

They haven’t cut back since opening. Looked like someone wrote with sharpie on back of the towels given out. It was on her shoulder.

Update…they never cut back to the broadcasters the entire first half…

@samschifrien.bsky.socialAug 21, 2026, 12:31 AM

Yeah…I have noticed they haven’t cut back to the broadcasters since the very beginning. I wonder if someone else actually saw it too.

@samschifrien.bsky.socialAug 21, 2026, 12:17 AM

And one behind the broadcasters has a towel with a sign supporting guess who…

There’s an away fan with a hateful towel RIGHT behind the broadcasters too.

@samschifrien.bsky.socialAug 21, 2026, 12:09 AM

How long is the #prime broadcast going to let that hateful towel be right behind the broadcasters??? #wingsup #amazon #wnba #dallas #indiana #fever #booterf

A bit of personal backstory: I interviewed for this the day after my dad died (rescheduled from the originally set one hour after he passed away) and as I start the next chapter in my relationship with caregiving…this feels meaningful and I welcome the opportunity and experience. 🫂 3/3

I’m excited to learn, build, and strategize alongside care leaders and advocates from across the country. Let’s make care impossible to ignore, and build a country that values it! #CareFellow
