While there is not an emoji for "absolute horses" yet, using mathematical notation, you can portray an absolute horse: |🐴|

🤢 doing something important + urgent 🌈😍✨🌸 doing something that feels productive but secretly isn’t

זי, איר, ער, אים, עס, זײ

in yiddish, to promise something impossible is "to promise the little plate in the sky" (צוזאָגן דאָס טערערל פֿון הימל) and i just think the jews should aim a little higher when it comes to dreaming the impossible

any task that involves both cleaning and organizing, and having to decide each non-garbage non-laundry item's new location throwing away the garbage and yeeting the dirty laundry to the laundry room are the easy parts. sorting the craft supplies, cables and computer parts = 🫠

today in "americans will use anything but the metric system": i was told to seek medical attention if my injection site skin reaction (allergy shots yay) gets bigger than a half-dollar, especially if it gets bigger than a silver dollar i haven't seen a half-dollar or silver dollar coin in decades

you think a high masking autistic person has nothing in common with an autistic person that has high support needs? i have more in common with the autistic kids leo kanner diagnosed as "severe" than with neurotypicals

i never want to see a non-autistic person described as an "autism pioneer" again especially if their opinion is that autistic people who are high-masking aren't really autistic i want all autism researchers who don't value the idea of disability solidarity to retire and leave us alone #disability

Personally I think Jonathan Haidt should be exposed to the challenging perspective that Jonathan Haidt sucks

my most annoying take is that chutzpah is an english word just as it is also a yiddish word but most of all it is an aramaic word, because jewish languages love to have a little aramaic

learned that yiddish reduplications of adjectives and adverbs like gikh-gikh (fast-fast, “very quickly”) or koym-koym (barely-barely, “just barely”) apparently aren’t really a thing in german but are a thing in russian and hebrew, which is neat-neat

"What are they supposed to do, not comply with the CC companies and get the whole thing shut down for everybody?" YES! I am once again demending that SFW creators stop treating erotic artists like acceptable losses, and maybe having some skin in the game will convince them to join the fight.

continues to bum me out how one of the more prominent younger members of the secular yiddish cultural community keeps unapologetically translating the harry potter books and funneling money into the author’s project to ban every trans person from stepping outside and breathing the same air she does

saw someone refer to hasidic yiddish as Not Real Yiddish (compared to YIVO) and i am not here for that i'm pretty sure the yiddish my goyish ancestors in southern poland would have encountered when interacting with jews would have been similar to hasidic yiddish, so get off your litvish high horses

yiddish has a word for hedgehog that's slavic and moderately cute (yozh, יאָזש) but i actually prefer the germanic one we also have which is DER SHTEKHLER ("the pricker") 🦔

in yiddish we don’t say “show them what you’re made of!” we scream “SHOW THEM HOW EXPENSIVE THAT RYE IS” (װײַזן װי טײַער קאָרן גילט) and i think that’s beautiful

אין א גרופּע פאר ײדיש לערנערײַ, עמעצער האָט דער לערערין געקװעטשט "דו שברײַבסט העברעאיש, נישט ײדיש. שברײַב ײדיש!" (װעגן דעם װערט "שבת") מײַן זיסע קינד 🙃

tomodachi life updates: everyone's reading Song of Songs and the Book of Job now, in addition to the Communist Manifesto there is a new beverage available called Respect Women Juice also Rosalina (from Mario Galaxy) and Sabrina (from pokemon) are dating and want to get married ❤️

It is extremely whiny to run coordinated harrassment campaigns and complain about being blocked for them

Transphobic people are always trying to convince me, a trans person, that I should hate Muslims because they hate queer people, but Muslim people are kind to me at higher rates than Christians are. I will not be coerced into hating people just as downtrodden as me.

“listen, jewish children, i will tell you a story about a little knife. not an imagined tale, but a true story that happened to me. i had desired nothing in this world so much as a little knife; i yearned for nothing else like i yearned for a little knife, my own little knife” a sweet kid’s story

“People didn’t do/have X in the past and they were fine!” Kevin, people died.

i've been absent from here for days at a time because of New Video Game Energy with Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream

i have successfully survived the itchy stage of healing!! i now just have a cool scar

I love Avot 5:6 because the rabbis are listing all the sublime and awesome things of history that were pre-ordained by God before the end of creation and then some dude is like: “And don’t forget the first pair of tongs! Because you need tongs to make tongs!”

NASA just dropped more than 12,000 photos from the Artemis II mission. It'll take me a few days to go through them all, but so far it's one stunner after another. Link: eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos... Credit: NASA/Artemis II Crew (h/t @jonostrower.com)

Well felonies speak even louder than regular actions

Hello from this little guy who lives in my ear

i firmly believe that autonomous computer systems of any kind should obey asimov's three laws of robotics

tired: wanting to know if you have Important ancestors wired: wanting to know what ancestors' everyday lives were like inspired: spreading family lore about the ancestor who ate a whole 2-meter length of kielbasa at once on ellis island bc he wasn't allowed to bring it into the country #genealogy

Every computer professional should have a vision of what the purpose of computers should be, and mine involves a lot of goofing around and sharing weird amateur art on the internet and zero enablement of military invasion and genocide

Illuminating thread about the Bund in the context of that book everyone is talking about. I'm gonna highlight a couple bleets.

Amazing thread, and touches on something I've noticed amid mass movement of fringe reactionary online spaces into mainstream online/irl sociopolitical discourse. Ppl discuss incels and terfs, but fewer discuss the way explicily pro-ana social norms have infiltrated the mainstream. (ed talk below)

my friends are with me through thicc and thick

Fellow French people—disperse, they’ve found us out!

If the Bible is misogynist, then why was the first biblical book ever written called Hussy and talked about how marrying sex workers brings you closer to God?!?

nooooooo! abe gave up on his crush and now he's brooding and too sad to interact with me on the bright side, Torah study marathons are now part of the island's lingo, and we now have Nikola Tesla and Rosalina (from Mario Galaxy) as residents

Imagine thinking it's totally fine to drop two references to Harry Potter in a ten minute conversation with a trans person and then leave that interaction thinking you made a good first impression.

The earthquake around Area 51 was just aliens dropping off my nutsack. Sorry to worry everyone!

on my tomodachi life island, i have sabrina from pokemon, luigi from mario, charlie chaplin and abe lincoln. abe and luigi are besties thar call each other abey baby and mama luigi, and abe has a crush on luigi

genuine shock at the number of people who are 'just following orders'-ing voluntarily standing next to a man who weeks ago wanted to murder 90 million people. simply choose not to go. lie about diarrhea. quit fantastically. so many options.
