In a weird life imitates art moment, Shana Knizhnik, creator of the viral “Notorious R.B.G.” Tumblr, met with Ruth Bader Ginsburg yesterday.
Here’s what the Supreme Court justice, who recently underwent heart surgery, had to say to her many, many fans:
Me: How are you feeling? It’s amazing you’re back at work so quickly.
RBG: Well I have a stress test tomorrow. I’m not allowed to work out with my trainer until after that… .
Me: Is there a message you’d like to give your fans?
RBG: Let them know I’ll be back doing pushups next week.

Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
