there is a somewhat popular local pizza chain in the San Diego area called “Sammy’s Wood-fired Pizza” and the first time my very New Yorker grandmother saw it she said “Wood-fried? How the heck do you fry pizza in wood?”

and when they say “they oppose Israel” they mean “they oppose Jews” because Fuentes and Owens don’t hate Israel for what it’s doing, but rather for (((who))) founded it

“Hi, I’m Omer Sharhi. After my tsahal service I spent a year backpacking around India, then went to the US where I worked as a shliach at Camp Ramah. Did a bit of work at a mall kiosk, assassinated Candace Owens with the support of the Macron crime family, and now I’m going back to the kibbutz”

The best part about living in Israel is that I have to go out and look for Christmas if I want to find it, and I never do

It’s just not secular. In any way. Literally there are two words that make up its name and one of them is “Christ” and the other one is “mass”

whenever I hear people say things like “well Christmas is really secular” I think about how one of the most beloved Christmas specials is the Peanuts one, the moral of which is “the true meaning of Christmas is the time when our lord and savior Jesus Christ was born in a manger to the virgin Mary”

I'm a non-Christian and it has never occurred to me that wearing an ugly jumper has anything at all to do with religion. It's just, depending on your view, a bit of fun, or a cynical capitalist ploy to get people to buy unnecessary shit jumpers.

"I'm a non-Christian and it has never occurred to me that [thing Christians invented for their Christian holiday about Christ] has anything at all to do with religion"

This is basically the CCA (culturally Christian atheist) motto

if you're curious, I wanted to be a conductor because I thought it meant I could be part of an orchestra without practicing, since you just had to wave a stick around instead

A worksheet with some "questions about you" for a preschooler. Relevant answers include: Something that makes me laugh: something funny Something that makes me happy: doing things that I like I am good at: lots of things, reading When I grow up I want: to be a conductor

here's a worksheet that i filled out in preschool (someone else clearly wrote, my handwriting would not be legible)

somehow it took until second grade for me to get an autism diagnosis

the best thing about English is its lack of an academy of usage.

and "my only real rule is no hate speech" is not an exception to anarchism, it's a defense of it, because hate speech reinforces unjust linguistic hierarchies just as a language academy dos

handshake between antinatalism and pronatalism as "generally just a smokescreen for eugenics"

it's almost like any attempt to get *some people* to reproduce at a different rate than they already are reproducing is going to end up being that

when you say “I’ve gotten myself into organizing a soccer game in the fall,” you are using words entirely from England

also the -ize ending with a Z, which Oxford University Press prefers

“gotten” too

A lot more than you’d think. Maybe they should be called “own goals”

რაბი ელყაზარ ბენ ყაზარიამ

also weirdly ע = /q’ ~ qχ’/ so you end up with things like this in the Georgian haggadah tavsili

רבי אלעזר בן עזריה
rabi elqazar ben qazariam

fun fact: the traditional georgian jewish pronunciation of hebrew does the same thing! ט = /t’/ and ק = /k’/

hanafis, however, distinguish between two levels of obligatory camel photo, with فرض camel photos being the highest level of obligation, and واجب being of a lower priority. this means that in praxis they believe in six أحكام of camel photos rather than five

islamic jurisprudence believes in five different varieties of camel photo: واجب (obligatory), مستحب (recommended), مباح (permissible), مكروه (discouraged), and حرام (forbidden)

if your issue with Trump is his tone rather than the things he is doing then you are not an ally

good. Live in that fear. In fact, maybe think of it less like fear and more like guilt.

Your yearly reminder that “holiday” celebrations that only include Christian traditions are not, in fact, inclusive even if you don’t use the word Christmas, so tbh I’d rather you just say it’s Christmas.

So Bezos is in them too then?

If you want to call fall autumn then at least be consistent and call spring something like "renove" /rəˈnuːv/ as a parallel from the Norman French r'nouvé

walnut instantly. He was very fond of pickled walnuts, gentlemen. He said he always found that, taken without vinegar, they relished the beer. My uncle's great journey was in the fall of the leaf, at which time he collected debts and took orders in the north: going from London to Edinburgh, from Edinburgh to Glasgow, from Glasgow back to Edinburgh, and thence to London by the smack. You are to understand that this second visit to Edinburgh was for his own pleasure. He used to go back for a week, just to look up his old friends; and what with

Charles Dickens, the Pickwick Papers, 1837.

the fact that people call "fall" a "vulgar Americanism" when it was attested first in England in the 1540s irrationally angers me. Fall is when the leaf falls, just as spring is when the leaf springs. Does the leaf autumn in autumn? Didn't think so

mostly just posting because it might be my favorite sondheim musical

When von Steuben arrived in camp, he was appalled by the conditions the soldiers had been fighting under, and immediately set to work drilling soldiers with strict Prussian techniques. He was a strict drillmaster, but he also socialized with the troops. One of his aides, Pierre-Étienne Du Ponceau, recalls a particularly wild party given at Valley Forge. "His aides invited a number of young officers to dine at our quarters," he wrote, "on condition that none should be admitted, that had on a whole pair of breeches." The men dined in torn clothing and, he implied, no clothing at all.

meanwhile Von Steuben had no-pants parties with all the hottest young men at Valley Forge
