BTW, your hair in your profile pic is *exquisite*. 10/10

Thank you! It was scary to give, but I'm glad I did. It needed to be said and so far we've only gotten one membership resignation over it, so I'm calling that a win.

With friends and allies like these, who needs enemies? It's truly a perfect illustration of the reality of being an American Jew anywhere close to the left side of the political spectrum today.

Jew on Bluesky: 500+ posts in the last year about how Israel needs to stop the occupation and Palestinians deserve to be free.

Same Jew on Bluesky: I'm tired of antisemitism, y'all.

Comments: Free Palestine! Zionist colonizer! Genocide enabler! I'm not the antisemite, you're the antisemite!

absolutely breathtaking levels of “reframe punching up as punching down” are emerging in AI discourse. fighting back against AI is us against billion dollar tech companies, yet they are pulling out so many wild rhetorical tricks to make it seem like the anti-AI movement are the powerful bullies here

To be accurate, the OP *has* spoken out against it and people are *still* being antisemitic in her comments. And that's the point. No amount of Jews speaking out against what Israel is doing seems to stop the antisemitism.

Fascinating that these right wing goons who are so anti abortion are so chill about using abortion-causing chemicals on crowds.

This morning's coffee is the best of the year. Whether you're celebrating Yom Kaput (for all the HHD volunteers and service leaders) or Yom Kafeh (first caffeinated coffee after Yom Kippur), I hope you have a great one.

How did it all go? Well, I hope!

West coast Jews: home stretch, if you’re not peeing clear every 20 mins now go get more water

My sermon is finally done. Can you tell? Lol.

🎶You don't win friends with salad🎶

Placing this here again!

This is my coping mechanism as well.

I married the same trombone boy as well. All the 'bones are like this 🤣

This is my beloved 17yo boy for all the things too. Also a trombone/baritone player.

I tell my b'nai mitzvah kids this and I think it goes for you too: I'd be concerned if you WEREN'T a bit nervous because it would mean you don't get that what you're about to do is a big deal!

The good news is that the holidays are hardly ever as awful as your brains dream up! ❤️

VERY.

Our congregational Pride booth was next door to the Gay Rodeo folks this year!

I don't have time for this! I have a sermon to finish!

Kid came home with a cold (of course) over the weekend. Woke up today (2 days before Yom Kippur) with a splitting headache that Tylenol isn't touching. I better not be getting sick.

We need a bigger tent, that’s why we must betray and expel the following types of people:

Please don't forget that the statement "humans all deserve care for their whole body and mind throughout their lives" is not controversial. It's just honoring the precious thing that is the human experience.

As I post this, I realize how this sounds in a country where dental and vision care isn't considered "healthcare" but something altogether different. We gave up on our rights to care in so many ways already.

God, I hate the way things function in this country.

"Well if we give up our rights to cardiac procedures, I'm SURE they'll let us have all the other ones."

That's what you sound like when you're talking about "compromising" over gender affirming healthcare.

Humans need care. The ENTIRE human.

NEVER COMPROMISE ON HUMAN RIGHTS.

Healthcare for everyone is basic, y'all. BASIC.

"Dems will get blamed for a shutdown" as opposed to what, all the friendly coverage and positive credit they'd get for caving yet again? This whole premise is built on a delusion about what the alternative is. There's no cowering in the corner and being so inoffensive they won't still attack you.

This. The number of Nevada 2nd district Democrats who sigh and refuse to make Mark Amodei's life a living hell for as long as he's our rep is utterly dismaying.

The LEAST you can do to fight back is hold *your own* rep accountable for voting against *your* interests.
