Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay2023, and I can't stop thinking about my friend who took his life earlier this year. I'm sorry, Jack- for not doing enough. I'm also sorry for maybe doing too much- and keeping you here when all you wanted was for the pain to stop. #suicide #guilt

Benny has had to head to the bomb shelter at least three times in the past two hours. He's been watching the Iron Dome knock down missiles out of the sky fired indiscriminately toward Tel Aviv. How's your day going?

Israeli soldier interviewed on BBC News- "We keep our values... We keep our morals.... We come to kill the enemy, not the civilians."

Heroes come in all forms... They do what they can whenever there's a need. Proud of our boy!

Stu Rushfield: #Kindness Except we need to work on using punctuation appropriately.

Hooray! Thank you, AudioFile Magazine! Excited to have had the joy of producing and sound-designing this epic project! And so glad I used my secret recipe to create the "grandfatherly voice" special effect for Scott Simon. (That would NEVER work on Saturday mornings!! 😉)

Small relief: I was able to find Benny a flight out of Israel. In the wee hours of this morning, he and a friend arrived safely in Greece. We'll keep him there and see how things play out over the next couple of weeks. There is no place for terrorism. Fearful for all Innocents.

Just learned from Benny that his friend and high school soccer teammate was killed last night in a Hezbollah terror attack along the Lebanese border in northern Israel. Omer Balva was 22. May you rest in peace, Omer. Will the rest of the world? Ever? 🖤 timesofisrael.com/soldier-killed…

If the colors could just stay like this all year... 😐 #autumn #fall #leafs #yellow

Good parents watch out for their kids. It's our job to keep them safe... no matter their age.

Greetings and welcome to Washington, DC. If you were on this flight, I hope you saw me wave to you. Pretty sure I saw you wave back. 👋

A relatively rare opportunity has come along: NPR is looking for an Audio Engineer! Do you have what it takes to be the next #audio wizard? Click the link below to see more info... and make sure you tell them that Stu Rushfield sent you. Best of luck!!📻 boards.greenhouse.io/nationalpublic…

A pretty beautiful sunset.

Another ⁦NPR⁩ legend has died. Mike Shuster covered much of the world for NPR for three decades, and was also a strong defender of the rights of his colleagues as a ⁦SAG-AFTRA⁩ Shop Steward. A sharply analytical mind & powerful storyteller 😢 npr.org/2023/11/08/121…

Our 5pm birds...

2023- the fifth consecutive year to which I say, "Good riddance."

How you know it's #IowaCaucuses night at NPR... #COFFEE #Starbucks #Elections2024 #TheLateNightsHaveBegun #NPRlife
