Open Communities · Pro-Ceasefire Jewish Congregations Observe the High Holidays with an inclusive, values-aligned Jewish community.

Here's the link to find a community. I zoom in because there isn't one in my area, and I chose Kol Tzedek in Philly mostly because I have a crush on the rabbi. 🤷

Hey if you're (also) a Jew who is anywhere on the critical of Israel spectrum and feeling A Way about the way Purim has been co-opted, or about major American Jewish orgs right now, I highly recommend zooming into services led by any of the rabbis for ceasefire. It's been really meaningful for me.

My veggie chopper box and I will be over here cheering you on. All hail kitchen gadgets that make cooking a little bit easier, because life is already hard!

Holy moly that spider! *Swoons in brooch collector*

let’s stop calling each new outrage a “distraction” from the last outrage and instead call it what it is: a vast ongoing machine of death, kidnapping, graft, abuse, and larceny built to operate on many fronts simultaneously at home and abroad for the benefit of the wannabe god-emperor and his toads

I can't stress how depressing and exhausting this is as someone who writes queer kidlit

If you can sign up in your district to be a poll worker, do. It’s more important than ever. You can help protect someone’s right to vote.

In the 13 years I've lived in this state, I've never once known when Go Texan day was. People just... Show up one day, en masse, dressed for the rodeo.

I've also never taken a bluebonnets photo. It feels like some weird insider ritual.

People are always like what’s something you miss from the past and one of mine is antitrust laws

Me, searching for romance available now:
This is a Nicholas Sparks book
This is Reylo fic
This is CoHo
I personally hate this author
This is Women's Fic

Where is the "never show me this author" button on Libby 😭

How do I tell the Libby search that I would never read any of these books and half of them aren't romances?

If I never read another regency Duke it will be too soon

I love Jackie Lau SO MUCH.

All fair. I do feel like I've read some books that dig into the dynamic of grumpy women getting policed for it, but of course I cannot remember a single one off the top of my head.

Oh they do. They do think that. Otherwise they say "black cat/golden retriever" which they think denotes gender because obviously (to cishet people, I assume) cats are girls and dogs are boys. It's not.... There's not logic. It's just bad gender binary vibes all the way down.

If you shout “fuck-ass bitch” while Trump is speaking you’ll receive $1 billion in donations tomorrow and immediately become the 2028 frontrunner. It’s crucial you do not do this.

Yeah please miss me with that one as well. All the reverses! People can save them.

Me too! I just don't call it reverse anything 😂

The icy blonde fiancee who always gets dumped in the Hallmark movie DESERVES a book, I say. (I said. And then wrote.)

I will always write books where everyone is kind of an asshole. It's my only setting. 😂

Wtf does that even meannnnn 😭

No one should ever market a book as "reverse grumpy/sunshine." That doesn't mean anything! Grumpy and sunshine aren't gendered!

Here's the thing I will continue saying every time this came up: Kamala Harris did not mention trans people in her campaign. She went out of her way to avoid it. She dodged every question on trans rights. And then she still lost. So what Newsom wants is *open hostility* to trans rights

We had $18k in rent requests come in just today (so far).

We’re anticipating needs at our neighborhood school to be over $100k again this month, but this time donations are WAY down. We don’t have enough money to cover everyone.

Please help us keep our neighbors w/ young kids from being evicted!

Arguably it's a weird one for comfort because it packs such a wallop, but it's so immersive and cathartic that I'm like, wallop me.

Many of mine have been mentioned (In Other Lands, Ghost Mountain Shifters, Pratchett -- especially Tiffany Aching, Robin Hobb) but one of my "please wrap me in a blanket and leave me alone" rereads is the Thief series by Megan Whalen Turner.

16 counting trays, each with 50 whistles that have been sorted into little slots. The whistles are of every possible color and design and are truly beautiful

Good morning friends! Your neighborhood Whistle Witch was hiding for much of the weekend, but I am back because today we will cross 900,000 whistles shipped!!! (585k this month!)

If you need whistles, reach out to us: linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

Especially if you're an org prepping for No Kings!

It's so comforting I've been listening to it on loop for like 4 years.

My number one current life hack tbh
