One of the reasons the Green Party motion hit so hard is because it confirmed something for Jewish ppl like myself that until now was mainly experienced in our personal lives, namely, many progressive friends going down anti-Zionist propaganda rabbit holes

based on this blog post by the author of the book, her argument really is about punctuation and not about diacritical vowel markers. it’s literally an argument that the different directions European punctuation marks face when adopted in Hebrew vs. Arabic mindthegap1.substack.com/p/double-edg...

i have some questions

The fact that this idiocy got past an editor in a book on godamn punctuation shows how deep the ignorance of Judaism and Jewish history is in the wider culture and how that ignorance is being weaponized so as to create a better scapegoat for Western uses

I want to congratulate the people in front of me in the security line for their very first time ever being at an airport! What a treat to see their excited faces as they gazed in wonder at the concept of "putting a backpack onto a conveyor belt" and "going through a metal detector"

I think this piece from @theautisticcoach.bsky.social @autisticrabbi.bsky.social says some of the most important stuff about Judaism's future possibilities. Read the whole thing by backing our Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/ben...

Thank you for prompting me to think about the definitions and possible limitations of teshuva, Cybertruck that drove past me as I was leaving shul with a "F*** Elon Musk" sticker

real friendships involve the other person pushing back against you, having needs, being busy, not being able to devote themselves to you. we know from the experience of the powerful that having somebody at your literal beck and call is a factor in driving people mad.

Speech I gave in shul this morning. Cried the whole time. They're not going to forget it, and while I'm not exactly ashamed of showing emotion on the day you're supposed to, I can obviously never show my face in there ever again. Moving on Monday. misfittorah.substack.com/p/introducti...

Introduction to Sha'ali Serufah b'Eish

Imagine you're an author of a medieval Talmudic commentary.

there is a cohort of men who resent the responsibilities and obligations of adulthood — of the fact that you owe things to other people. it is a fundamentally childish impulse that they have reconfigured as the height of masculinity, and i think it informs the parasocial attraction to platner.

what a fucking asshole

Do you think Yaxel Lendeborg and Aday Mara have their feelings hurt right now

THEY DID IT

If you had told someone thirty years ago that in thirty years Trent Reznor would be mostly known as a film score composer what would they have said to you

Moving to take a job in Palo Alto, CA next year, so if you live in that area, soon I will too

I bet Noah Wyle, in his heart of hearts, thinks he can get away with doing a couple of shifts at a hospital by now

The vast majority of gentiles lack the range to comment in any capacity on Jewish ritual or tradition. And if you read this and immediately felt like you needed to prove yourself the exception to that statement, I guarantee you you’re actually part of the problem and should fuck off.

I think it's time to induct My Chemical Romance into the Classic Rock genre
