Every TikTok video about Ashkenazim vs. Sephardim is basically “Ashkenazi food is bad and Sephardim are rude.” Get more diversity to your jokes. 😩

Old Facebook friend going “it’s not antisemitic because it’s the truth” about information taken straight from the Protocols.

fellow law prof here, can confirm

Not to out myself for being autistic but I really truly loved my first-order logic class. It was an oasis of calm in the shitshow that was law school.

get in loser, we're doing the Wars of Religion again

Song of Songs: *is a poem about premarital sex that literally became part of the biblical canon* Some people for whom it is canon: “Premarital sex is evil! Shun!”

I feel like what makes the Song of Songs so erotic is just how weird many of its images are to our ears. They’re not comparisons we find natural, and that only makes it hotter somehow.

Extremely yikes. And yet unsurprising, alas—the nonprofit world seems to trade in stuff like this.

Pod listeners have probably picked up from Mike that something went wrong at SPLC, which abruptly kicked him to the curb. He sued and won a settlement. Here, Mike explains what happened. His story feels familiar to me and many others on the beat. michaeledisonhayden.substack.com/p/what-happe...

Fig-based baked Brie is the most Jewish non-Jewish recipe. In this essay I will…

you may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like

Happy Good Friday to everyone who doesn’t use it as an opportunity to repeat antisemitic canards about Jesus’ death. 😊

“From Her, they [all humans] suckle, and to the body, … and She is called their Mother.” -Zohar 3:296a explaining why we all suck on God’s titties

Any of you know Discords or other group chats for Hebrew beginners to practice in?

Kabbalah is just like… monotheistic gnosticism (and also make it more Jewish). Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

chag pesach sameach to everyone & may all who have been imprisoned be freed & all those who need find a laden table for their hunger tonight

Sarah Schulman has the most brutal April Fools’ post. 😩

i'm struggling to understand why "collecting lists of Jews is historically a bad thing to do" is counterproductive save for the fact that it's a very compelling argument against this order

When you're a clown like Ben Ryan, every day is April Fools' Day.

So what this describes is ethnic cleansing www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/w...

The EEOC fighting antisemitism by collecting lists of Jewish people. 🙃

“You couldn’t ban trans-affirming therapy either,” say the very smart Elena Kagan, who knows full well that states are freely banning schools using trans kids’ pronouns as well as gender-affirming care—which is infinitely more expressive.

CA’s $20 fast food minimum wage raised fast food prices by only 3%. The reason minimum wage increases keep not reducing employment and barely increasing prices is monopsony power. www.nber.org/papers/w34990

But if you make it delicious then it defeats its purpose of being the bread of affliction!

I see some journalists falling for this mistake, so to be explicit: defining conversion therapy only by a strict definition that fails to include the majority of conversion therapy practiced over the past hundred years is a mistake only someone who knows nothing about this topic would make.

Any good free tool to cross post from BlueSky to Threads?

My book Courtroom Science and Trans Youth is out TODAY, just in time for Trans Day of Visibility! It’s about how courts treat science and scientific expertise in family law cases involving trans children, and how we need to do better and stop medicalizing and gatekeeping them.

NYTimes has spent years breathlessly repeating claims that objecting to the treatment of Palestinians is antisemitic, but when right-wingers say they're “J-pilled,” NYTimes calls this "slang for skepticism of Israeli influence." Where's the "J" in "Israel"? Might that "J" mean something else?

Israel bringing back the death penalty that it had previously abolished *specifically* for Palestinians is an absolutely hideous crime

"Israel" doesn't start with a J.

The Knesset passed a bill today mandating the death penalty for Palestinians convicted of terror - but not for Jews. There is a word for a legal system where different legal standards apply to different categories of people. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

🤣 this tho

People truly seem to forget that trans communities have long had a very antagonistic relationship with WPATH, whom we have seen and continue to see as a major force of gatekeeping.

What's really going on here is twofold. First, the anti-trans "reporters" on this issue do not know their own beat. As I've said before, the anti-trans argument is a conspiracy theory. It posits that the medical field is handing out surgeries to kids at the slightest hint of gender nonconformity.

the reason hegseth lobbied trump to pardon war criminals in his first term and why he has done everything possible to make war crimes more likely is that hegseth believes war crimes to be Objectively Good. war to him, in fact, consists of committing indiscriminate war crimes.

"litmus test" is just consultant speak for "having beliefs"

I'm thinking of using colour pens at least for some of my future creations. Are there ones that truly don't self-overlap? Like, don't get darker if you go over the same spot more than once?

It's the book Papercutting: Reviving a Jewish Folk Art by Amy Goldenberg, if anyone has ways of tracking such things.

I had ordered a book from AbeBooks, but it got lost in transit so it was refunded. And now I was looking at buying it anew, and there's only ONE copy available and it's $390. Absurd. D:

Ben Ryan is so unserious.

Nobody snitch but I’m giving this handmade gift tomorrow.

My throat tends to be pretty phlegmy, especially after I eat, and this can be annoying when singing — anyone has a magic trick, like something I can drink or some such, that would help?

Men—making lesbians’ lives easier by placing the dating bar on the literal floor. 😅

We went on a walk to a very cute little lake; when we were about a third of the way around, she asked if I wanted to stop for a minute to enjoy the sunset over the lake, and that’s when she asked me to be her girlfriend.

😭 I was thinking baked brie and fig syrup, but 😭 I can’t deny this one

“Say uncle!” would have a very different vibr in Biblical Hebrew.

I write smut but I can’t compete with Ancient Israelite horniness. Guess the lack of porn does something to you.

Song of Songs 5:3 is so horny: “I stripped my tunic — how shall I wear it? I washed my feet — how shall I dirty them?”

We believe - on the basis of very good legal advice - that the law doesn't require this. Sadly, Girlguiding haven't taken up Good Law Project's offer of legal support and an indemnity. And it's these young girls who will suffer the consequences.
