REfacing currency 😅

If they’re not gonna give me the Harriet Tubman $20s we deserve, I’ll DIY them. 😤

I have not! If anyone says anything, it’s always been positive/approving/delighted

An admirable quest! I’ll miss you.

Me too 😭😭

When they first cancelled it, I bought a stamp, and I’ve been stamping my $20 bills with her face for several years.

Me too 😭

This is just stunningly gorgeous.

I last read it as a teen, but I remember loving it. Expected it to be dry and boring (bc “old”, even then) but it wasn’t at all. Looking forward to reading it again!

Do you want to join?

I had the same journey 😬🍰

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.

Woot!

The way that y’all ignore Christian Zionists and let them off the hook has me in a low simmering rage at all times that never goes away. And every single time someone says the word Zionists I KNOW y’all are just talking about Jews.

And, yes, you can say that Temple Israel should not have hosted them. But you cannot say that Jewish parents have to spend their time researching daycare options like they're doing opp research for a presidential candidate or their kids are valid targets to be murdered.

Nearly every synagogue hosts speakers who don’t pass antizionist standards & congregants have very little say over it short of leaving their house of worship, & there are few alternatives.

But I guarantee every church could say the same & no one is demanding Christians apply this level of scrutiny.

Yes. So much horrific shit is happening bc people have thought they could do it quietly and not face a single consequence. It’s time to fear consequences again!

Love this. It looks so much like a tangled rubber band I can almost feel & smell it.

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? 😬
