I’m going to respectfully suggest that this is only ok on Purim.

MANY did, but they were ignored.

Glad to see this celebration of the Knicks!

Like so many New Yorkers, I’m kvelling.

Inclusion matters. Pride month matters. Libraries matter. And a shout-out to every librarian who quietly stands up to the book-ban bullies.

Peeps, the folks @jwaonline.bsky.social are the real deal, and this is a fab opportunity. jwa.org/pomegranate

Cool trees!

With PROFOUND and SINCERE respect, I think ”feminist” might be a better noun than “woman” here. And if we make that substitution, I’d add that we also want to change the world so that crying and screaming—and the need to suppress those responses—aren’t so central to our experience.

Hi everyone! I’m so honored to be part of a new online project, the Hey Alma Hebrew School. I’m part of a really cool lineup including golems, Jewish languages, and more. Join me on July 27 to learn about why 1948 is so important for Israel, Palestine, and all of us. app.zuddl.com/70facesmedia...

Historical example of alliance politics for the win.

A powerful reminder that Islamophobia, antisemitism, misogyny, and homophobia are interconnected forms of hate. Alliance politics aren’t easy these days, but we need to work through and with those challenges. www.npr.org/2026/05/27/n...

Great thread. And yes, this nice Jewish girl from Brooklyn has this encyclical on her *must read* list.

This modernist treat is a lovely respite from all the rest of it. Woolf and Joyce together, as they should be. IYKYK

This! Retirements were supposed to improve the academic job market. Instead, tenured positions shifted into exploitative adjunctification.

This thread and many of the moving replies to it remind us, among many other things, that oral history matters. May the forces of good, wisdom, and science triumph.

Highly recommend Rob Epstein’s THE TIMES OF HARVEY MILK

So my heart is singing for this 1st generation college graduate! 82 years young! And get this: “she reportedly ended up having to write an essay on Title IX, which she helped get passed in 1972. Imagine being the professor grading that paper.” sports.yahoo.com/tennis/artic...

Close listening, like close reading, is a remarkable and remarkably transferable skill.

Really disappointing that the subtitle to @literaryhub.bsky.social’s graduation gift guide for English majors is “WHAT TO GET THE SOON-TO-BE BARISTA IN YOUR LIFE.” Whether ironic or not, what a debilitating mythology for a lit mag to reproduce!

Timeline cleanse. You’re welcome.

Never tire of this view.

It's true! #gbf #booksky @jbywrites.bsky.social @cathyalter.bsky.social

Now just ask yourselves what happens when you let abusers write the laws to govern us all

And we’ll never know about the women we could have had in meaningful positions, who left government because of these shitty men.

Sounds like grad school.

I’m a childfree woman of a certain age, so ”underbabied” can only refer to those who didn‘t collect Beanie Babies in the 90s.

A reminder that it’s the policy that counts.

PSA: As Mother’s Day approaches, don’t assume that all women of a certain age are mothers! Many of us are childfree by choice; others are childless and mourn that fact. Always good to acknowledge diverse life narratives that don’t fit into Hallmark mythologizing.
