No murder!! No corruption!! Only patronage and beautiful art!
Jews are targeted in shuls & online.
Brown & Black people are abducted and sent to concentration camps.
Muslims are openly targeted by politicians.
Activists & journalists are targeted by the FBI.
Trans & queer people are being outlawed.
We are in this together. This is why solidarity matters.
And I’ve gotta say, occasionally buying a fine art or two really does make me feel a) surrounded by beauty, b) like a boss bitch, c) like a Patron of the Arts—a Medici without the corruption, murder, or vast wealth. 😅
I bought the first one, the joyful and excellently titled “House of Bumptiousness”, which I ADORE! Her work is so cool, and it ships just fine from the UK despite tariff and post office shenanigans (tariffs do not apply to fine art!)
Yeah, that’s some bullshit. i love your art. ❤️
Man I ended that chapter (27) still wanting to shake some sense into Pip. 😓

A Democrat has won the mayor's seat in Boca Raton... by one vote:
Murdering random Jews in response to Israeli state violence is violent antisemitism. It shouldn't be necessary to state that. And yet
“So, throughout life, our worst weaknesses and meannesses are usually committed for the sake of the people whom we most despise.”

So what exactly is Jaggers foretelling re Drummle? 😬 Now I’m worried he’s gonna pop back up and be a Problem

Just so we're all clear, this is a war crime and would be punishable by life or death under U.S. law.
Fair!
Of Jagger’s house: “There were carved garlands on the panelled walls, and as he stood among them giving us welcome, I know what kind of loops I thought they looked like.”
😬 …is he saying they looked like nooses? 😬

😬 this doesn’t sound like a ringing endorsement?
FYI looks like Rakesfall is on hold til later bc there are other books in the club queue. I will LYK when there's a good month!

Hey book club besties, I have worked up a schedule for Catch-22 this April. Give it a perusal and let me know what you think. Also, please comment here if you’d like to join.

This is so exhausting.
It’s no different:
* don’t attack mosques when a Muslim country does something shitty
* dont attack Orthodox churches to protest Russia
* dont attack churches every time another white Christian does something heinous.
The rhetorical exceptions ppl make for Jews are evil.
there's genuinely nothing in the world whiter than deciding which members of a group you're not in are the "authentic" ones
The number of non-Jews who’ve been loudly sharing their opinions on Jewishness this last week. 😵💫
What’s happening here is that the 30% of the country that wants, like Mike Johnson, to impose its right wing religious values on the country using state power is falsely accusing the 1.3% of the US population that is Muslim of wanting to impose their religion on the country using state power.
In the 1920s, there was an enormous Klan-aligned caucus in the House of Representatives that passed an immigration restriction bill designed to keep out Catholics and Jews because they supposedly posed an existential threat to American civilization. 100 years later, here we are.
lol also do these fools think Sephardim weren’t doing any intermarriage? WTAF. This kind of protest has nothing to do with “Jewishness” and everything to do with some kind of raceplay fantasy of “authenticity”. GROSS.
Like everyone else, I LOVED the first and thought the second was fine and am absolutely gonna read the hell out of this. IMO Alexis hall at “fine” is still pretty great.
Haha just don’t try to tilt/shake the crap out of it if it fails to dispense your treat.
Yup. Theres risks from taking a walk, from taking a bath or shower, from eating a meal. And yet!
this. when antisemites say Ashkenazim( a population that migrated into Europe from the Levant) are "not the real Jews!" because many are white skinned, they arent understanding ghettoization and intermarriage, and when they say they're converts, they are reinforcing discrimination...
The answer here is to go directly after Trump's legitimacy. Say the office was vacant under 14AS3.
A packed SCOTUS can absolutely rule that way.
We can just unpack SCOTUS at the same time:
