Does anyone have any suggestions for how to contact our family in Iran? We last spoke to them on the day of the attacks, but communications have been cut off since. Are there any other channels that can be used just to see if they're alright?

I discovered my phone has a magic eraser function, so I started with something important.

Some background on Ashkenazi Jewish last names: Most Ashkenazi Jews did not have last names at all until the late 18th or 19th centuries. Until then, Jewish names generally changed every generation.

Two cats sitting on a barstool. Cat on the left is white with brown markings and blue eyes like a Snowshoe. Cat on the right is sitting up and has long dark brown fur and blue eyes.

When they steal my seat like this, I eat breakfast on the floor.

I think a lot of non-Jewish leftists on here think antisemitism isn't an issue bc it's not expressed the same way as it is on the right

But I've talked to other Jewish leftists on here & we're like...very aware of how quiet gentile mufos get re: posts about antisemitism. It's noticeable.

David Lynch passed a year ago today. I hope we all can absorb just a little bit of the energy he put out in his lifetime.

Seeing hateful nonsense in the wake of the horrible attack in Bondi, so some reminders:
-DO NOT exploit this antisemitic attack to leverage Islamophobic and anti-Arab bigotry and xenophobia
-STOP reflexively making it about Israel because the victims were Jewish

These are both intertwined +

It is absolutely wrong to say that Israel's actions are the reason why there was an antisemitic terror attack against the Jewish community of Australia. And likewise, it is also absolutely wrong for the Israeli government to blame Australia's decision to recognize the state of Palestine.

2 paragraphs of white text against a background reads: "The Nexus Project is heartbroken by the horrific terrorist attack at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, where gunmen opened fire on Jewish families gathered to celebrate the first night of Hanukkah. We mourn the victims of this massacre, including Rabbi Eli Schlanger, and hold the injured and their loved ones in our hearts during this devastating time. This was an unambiguous act of antisemitic violence β€” Jews were targeted and murdered precisely because they were Jews, gathered in public to practice their faith and celebrate a holiday of light and hope. We condemn this attack in the strongest possible terms. Hanukkah commemorates the Jewish people's resilience and their right to exist, to worship, and to live openly as Jews. The perpetrators of this attack sought to extinguish that light and terrorize Jewish communities worldwide. We stand in solidarity with Australian Jews and with Jewish communities everywhere who are grieving and afraid. Antisemitic violence is not only an attack on the Jewish community β€” it is an assault on the values of pluralism, safety, and human dignity that bind diverse democratic societies together. We call on leaders across the globe to treat the fight against antisemitism with the seriousness and urgency this moment demands, and we extend our deepest condolences to all those affected by this unconscionable tragedy."

This is lengthy, but so important. In the last couple of years, I’ve seen a lot of the things that the graphic at the end has under β€œcovert antisemitism” coming from people who I think don’t realize what they’re doing.

It’s baby octopus season πŸ™πŸ¦‘

Saw this little guy last night with the Salish Sea School in Anacortes, WA as part of their free community dock walk I volunteer as an interpreter for.

We can tell it is a giant pacific octopus from the single line of chromatophores on each arm.

also, this is the smallest thing, but if you're gonna talk about it or use the word, it's "antisemitic" (no hyphen)
