I feel like billionaires have been radicalized by posting online and hearing what people think of them and the thing is I have been radicalized by their posts and hearing what they think of us

You have two days to make your voice heard, US folks!

In the past couple weeks, there have been two swastikas drawn outside Jewish students' dorm rooms.

More mushrooms

A+ protesting, Portland!

All my previous cats were barn kittens. At the time we adopted them, each of them had infections or were quite skittish from lack of socialization. #NH politics suck. #NHPol

Reading this as my Pip sleeps next to me. Pip was born to a mother in foster care, and he and his siblings were so healthy and well socialized. His brother had a medical issue at birth that received immediate attention and he went on to be perfectly healthy. This is a cruel and heartless change.

"...Torah is always both about them-back-then and about us-here-and-now. These verses can also be Moshe’s instructions to us as we pause on the cusp of entering a new year... Don’t lose hope. Open your heart. You are not alone." velveteenrabbi.com/2025/09/27/v...

at the circ desk so I can't listen to the audio right now but I'm lmao anyway

This is so good.

"Go back to Daniel 11; it makes more sense." - Tim after trying to fill me in on today's news while I'm working A Facebook Memories post from 6 years ago today. Things have only become more surreal.

Imagine the world you want, friends, 'cause it's definitely more plausible and functional than whatever this is.

Gather round for my warrior ethos. For my fun AI vibes. All those times people said I was not serious and was in fact unreasonable for envisioning a society designed to live within earth systems limits. Ha Hahahah Hahahahahahahah

Coyote and badger cooperative hunting is so great.

Just looked up why the hell we're talking about Wounded Knee today and of course! Of COURSE that's why!

This is perfection

Friendly reminder that if you need help getting your academic book manuscript ready to submit but a full edit doesn't fit your timeline, budget, or interest, I have a service for that!

"He says, when you gonna make up your mind? When you gonna love you as much as I do?"

Please take a few minutes to do this, US friends.

Here is your Tuesday reminder!! 8 days until the deadline!! PLEASE TELL YOUR DEMOCRATIC REPS THAT YOU GIVE A SHIT ABOUT TRANS RIGHTS. This is not a drill. They are moving quickly.

So many thoughts about yesterday's memorial service for my FIL. First, Vermont is ugly as heck this fall. Brown and dead. Hopefully you weren't planning a foliage tour there this fall. Second, even progressive Evangelicalism is coercive and passive aggressive...

It just started raining...very, very lightly...but maybe it'll pick up?

Shanah tovah umetuqah, chaverim! 🍎🍯

More of this, please! www.vermontpublic.org/local-news/2...

I listened to this on the way in to work. It was perfect 12 years ago, but now it feels positively prescient. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QF-7...

That’s understandable! I did the same thing, and it’s taken decades, therapy, medicine, family, and guitars to improve it. It’s like anything else you’re afraid of - look at it, learn about it, get more familiar with it. You will start to feel more safe. Then you can go about deciding what to do.

Hey, Christian mutuals! Who would like to do a monthly or bi-weekly online discussion of Hanna Reichel's "For Such a Time as This: An Emergency Devotional"? I'm inspired by Kristin Du Mez's comments on the past two episodes of "The Convocation: Unscripted."

God. Fucking. Bless.

What movie do you consider perfect?

Narthex, how many of you have had your/a priest or deacon (or you if this is you) acknowledge *from the pulpit* that mass deportations &/or harassment of transgender people is a thing that IS happening explicitly & that it is a bad thing? ⚓

Not-so-fun fact: Right-wing violence is 5 times more likely than left-wing, according to the government's own studies (the government has taken down this information within the last week).

"Excuse me, do you know if we can use the staplers?" student says about a tethered stapler with a "circ desk" label on it. First years. They're the cutest.

Dartmouth won! I've got earplugs in my pocket for when the marching band shows up.

A friend once said, "It just can't get that bad - it just CAN'T!" and my mind went immediately to the year 536 CE. Knowing history can be a curse, but we can also use it to prepare ourselves, which is what I'm doing by listening obsessively to The Convocation Unscripted. convocation.substack.com

The simple truth underlying all of this is that we actually *can* all live together, but they (people with hate in their heart, and their defenders) are the ones who are going to have to change in order to get there—not us

I keep thinking about a thread I saw yesterday how the author is certain we're going to win, and I just thought, "who's 'we' in this scenario?" and "what does 'winning' mean to you?" and "how much do you know about history?" 1/

This is such a great thread. I can't really think of anything I'd add.

This explains so much, and actually makes me appreciate Disco Elysium more. Gift link. You can read it for free without a subscription. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Loved this piece by Zack Budryk. reactormag.com/live-until-l...

Currently indexing a book about 16mm and have Paul Simon's Kodachrome on endless repeat in my mind. Any other film songs you can send my way? 🎥📽️ #BookIndexer

My rabbi just told me about this - there's a Elul Helpline for rabbis to call! I have no idea if it's any good in execution, but I think the concept is genius. Check it out, clergy friends (of whatever generation, the headline is weird). forward.com/news/769861/...

I've got this stuck in my head today. 😅

Name announcement. In case you missed it.

The spoons, they're so low, and the stress, it's so high!

I have a very challenging few days coming up, so if some of you could spare the occasional thought and/or prayer, I'd appreciate it. 💗
