Tucker Carlson: "Putin, on the spectrum of Russian politics, is firmly on the moderate side." Glenn Greenwald: "Yes." Tucker: "And Pro-European, and his early career was in Europe, in East Germany as a KGB officer, famously speaks German."

Sorry, one more thing: people tend to like this story, so I shall tell it. We didn’t have a lot with us when we were leaving: mostly, it was books, clothes, bedding, that kind of stuff. My dad decided to bring our One Valuable Thing, which was a silber spoon - a family heirloom. He brought it >

I really meant not to post about this today/tomorrow, but I’m feeling the need to mark the occasion somehow. Today is 33 years since we left Russia. It’s a weird feeling. It’s the best thing that could have happened to us, but the day & the many days (weeks, months, even years) that followed were>

I actually saw that post when it happened and it was such a wholesome coming together of Bostonians who are like aww man, we DO have a great city!! Made me genuinely happy. What a nice reminder, and I love that it got picked up by Boston.com - Boston pride, babeeeeyyyyy

Might post some good environment news every so often to showcase that it's not over yet and there are good things happening, we just have to fight for it First: beavers are basically magical creatures that help with drought and flooding, and we're reintroducing them more and more

#petdeath I've been missing Max so much. I miss my little guy. I wish I could sniff behind his ear one more time, or get another crazy-faced smooch, or see him wag his little ink-dipped tail. Why do they only live for so long. Dogs should be immortal.

It's a good story, this. Really is.

Lee Pace, this is your time to shine

i’m going to be honest, not having seen either, i didn’t really know top gear and top gun were different things until like a year or two ago so when people were talking about top gun yaoi all this time i was just like damn i guess those old british guys who make cars together are gay

#antisemitism I just need to point out that this is everywhere. It’s all over. It’s getting worse. It’s incredibly scary. If you’re not a Jew, you should be aware and if you’re able to, call it out when you can. Unsettling doesn’t begin to describe it. It’s insidious. It’s constant.

Erin Biba@erinbiba.bsky.social · 3w ago

This is so fucking antisemitic I am actually sick to my stomach?? - the insinuation that Jews are hiding in plain sight - the insinuation that we are rich - the insuation that we are evil - listing a bad Jew - the erasure of Jews of Color - the insinuation that all Jews look the same

Life goal: Get a plaque this good

We talk about the importance of representation but not the pitfalls of over-representation combined with reinforcing the deadly stereotype that Jews control everything. The irony here is we’re overrepresented in Hollywood *because y’all wouldn’t let us have other jobs.* bsky.app/profile/self...

daniel sieradski@self.agency · 3w ago

one of the few non-nefarious explanations for this is significant jewish overrepresentation in media

This is something that the Jewish community has *deeply* in common with the trans community and I think it is one of the many reasons I so fiercely defend them because I know exactly how this feels. bsky.app/profile/cafe...

Cheshire Cafe@cafedecheshire.bsky.social · 3w ago

Without those kind of cultural exchanges, people really do just make up whatever suits them. Its incredibly frustrating just as an onlooker. Being weaponized both against yourself and against others must be hellish. Nobody should be forced to lose control of their own narratives for the sake of

I also think you reeeaalllyyyyy need to look at these numbers and think very hard about how much you’re equating American involvement in Israel to American Jews.

I am always trying to explain to folks that most Americans have never met a Jew and people do not believe me and I just need you to understand that the perception that we are a powerful group in this country is intentionally created by antisemites and you’re unknowingly buying in.

This actually explains something about how people talk about the Jewish community.

I can’t believe I did this…but I decided to give away one of my plant babies, because…frankly…she had taken over my desk & I couldn’t deal with it anymore. I let out a guttural scream when she put her leaves on my head 2 minutes before my first meeting of the day. I grew her from two tiny leaves >
