SNOW!!! Woke up to grey skies but SNOW 🌨️ Which means I don't dare go out. Ice from when it thaws/refreezes + seizures from the cold = damaging falls. Pretty much guaranteed even with good German boots & walking sticks 🫤 But there's now a layer of insulation on the roof and the snow is pretty 😍

I've mentioned this quietly, but - since the summer my hobby has been making this ambitious murder mystery podcast. A story. Narrated by me, with a mouthwatering cast. Partly interactive. Trailer is coming tomorrow but if you like the sound of this, please follow @murderbastard.bsky.social.

This is gorgeous. #Music #MusicSky youtu.be/-Oof3JWnLdk?...

Why do they use photos from other place places?! Who is behind the scenes pushing out this propaganda?! Via @rebitzman.bsky.social

The three things I am watching are a very loud very raucous very silly Thai comedy, a not that scary yet haunted house series, and movies. None of which are suitable for this close to bed. I should probably stop thinking about this before my brain decides it needs lakorn 🤔

How delightfully quaint some of these old Devon village names are, their etymologies lost in the mists of time.

'feels like' temperature not forecast to go about freezing until Saturday. that means seizure trigger weather so i'm stuck indoors with my only interactions being social media spaces who have no use for me except as an audience or cast as a villain so others feel good about themselves.

Qatar has poisoned an entire generation with propaganda. The next Democratic POTUS should cut off all diplomatic and economic ties with Qatar. The damage that’s been done will take decades to fix, if at all.

"Living for yourself doesn’t mean acting selfishly. It means acting with integrity, even when no one is watching." Trying to work out what this means for me, especially as we go into the dark months when the neighbours stay inside.

"Who are you living for? Are you living for your work? For your children? For your parents? For fame or fortune? Or are you living for Hashem? But if you say Hashem – what does that actually mean?" More from my bshert at shorturl.at/BPVUH

Woooooooooooo! #MusicSky youtu.be/BOtCBy_FSZE?...

Sorry, I know this was a while ago, but I'm still upset about it. They literally edited a video of a High Holiday sermon to make it sound like she said the opposite of what she really said, and then pretended it was about Zionism to get people outraged for clicks.

Angry internet atheist: All religion is a death cult. Jewish narrative tradition:

10,000 dead in a few days, and the Yale Daily News calls it genoc no wait *touches earpiece* I'm being informed that the term this time is "mass killings" Huh. Interesting.

walk today was a mistake

trying to stick to my walking habit (just around the neighbourhood) as long as possible, but getting cold-weather dressed for it has used up so much of my energy i'm having a sit down before i've left

Today I am in Nagarkot, Nepal. From here, the Himalayan range to the north is clearly visible. Come and visit Nepal and return home feeling in harmony with nature. #Nepal #Visitnepal #Trek #Trekking

Support that depends on how ‘not angry’ I sound isn’t support—it’s control. I am not performing. I am healing. I face unimaginable suffering every day. I endure violent misogyny that seeks to break me. I will not apologize for my anger or my survival.

@timesofisrael.com - Just off East Prairie Road in this suburb of Chicago is a sign that says, “Welcome to Hersh’s Fridge.” At the bottom is a line in Aramaic, quoting the Passover Haggadah: “Let all who are hungry come and eat.” www.timesofisrael.com/chicago-teen...

Since someone accused me of not knowing what I'm talking about a while ago, here's a handy list that clears things up about what it means when Islamist states "grant non-Muslims protection" :) Spoiler alert: it's not a nice, kind, good thing. Unbrainwash yourselves and stop falling for propaganda.

"Since the 1970s, America has over-regulated the physical world and under-regulated the digital space... We made it hard to build physical-world communities and easy to build online casinos." Another essential dispatch from @dkthomp.bsky.social:

my patience has increased but I will say, it is ok to have trouble reading, it is not ok to scream at people for things you imagined they said because you can't read what they actually said

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

It's not about changing minds, it's about avoiding sacrilege. Because he's their idol. This is literally the basis of my claim that MAGA is idolatry: They don't fear the truth. DT is above the truth to them. He is an idol, and the only thing they want to avoid is desecration of his name.

In that letter from the lawyers for Farms not Factories, we got the same old tired line that "criticism of Zionism is not the same as antisemitism". I tell you what. Read the piece & tell me whether you think this is *just* "criticism of Zionism". Go on. www.jewishnews.co.uk/revealed-the...

I don’t blame anyone for what is a natural human response to challenging, emotionally charged information. I simply implore you to have a bit of self-awareness about it and try not to add to the emotional burden of someone who has quite enough to deal with already. 3/4

So often, other people’s response to my cancer diagnosis was much more about them than it was about me. #cansky 1/4

awareness hitting hard again on my very limited use in this world, attention-crowded and transactional as it is. i am worth nothing more than a few seconds, maybe a handful of minutes, and only if it fills a need for someone else. may this be over soon.

Wee game - how many of these conspiracy theories have you come across friend-washed on social media?

Right. Here's my big pitch: Muppet James Bond James Bond in…A Heart-Felt Goodbye Dominic Cooper as Bond Kermit M Frog Mrs Moneypiggy Beaker & Dr Bunsen HoneyQ The agents of G.O.N.Z.O. want to kidnap the world's chickens. MI5 has a mole (Rizzo the Rat). An agent is undercover as a chef in Sweden.
