look don't be surprised if you send out sometime the afternoon before Rosh Hashanah and your Jewish colleague can't get to it right away, we go over this literally every year?

I assume that we won't get Surgeon General reports about the epidemic of white men shooting people and sociological studies about where their fathers are?

Frog came into the house. “Toad,” said Frog, “your pants and jacket are lying on the floor.” “Tomorrow,” said Toad from under the covers. “Your kitchen sink is filled with dirty dishes,” said Frog. “Tomorrow,” said Toad.

The kite flew into the air. It climbed higher and higher. “We did it!” cried Toad. “Yes,” said Frog.

Happy rapture day! Please aim yourself at the sky in an orderly fashion so the rest of us can inherit your house

Yom Kippur 2025/5786 October 2nd, 3:30pm ET Brooklyn, NY (specific location will be shared soon) and Live-streamed Wear white clothing. Bring a small stone. All are welcome. Register here: rabbis4ceasefire.com/actions/hhd/...

This Yom Kippur, we come together with @rabbis4ceasefire.bsky.social, @jfrejnyc.bsky.social, and @ifnotnowmovement.org to unite in our grief, outrage, and despair. Let us turn our most holy of holy days into a mass mourning, collective atonement, and dignified action.

To steady and care for one another, to fully feel our grief and challenge one another to act with creativity and courage, and to embody Judaism at its most liberatory, as we stand in loving solidarity with Palestinians and all oppressed people.

Let us gather in refusal and resistance. To say no to genocide, no to human-made famine, and no to the use of our tax dollars to bomb entire families. And let us gather in recommitment.

Where did you study all this goodly speech?

Sweet, bid me hold my tongue, For in this rapture I shall surely speak The thing I shall repent.

Today I am focusing on doing small, good things.

As found. ✨

We are producing a generation unable and (somewhat) unwilling to think, read and write without relying on tech controlled by some of the most evil people on the planet to tell them what to think, read and write and they don’t seem to see the dangers of this dependency even if we point it out

I cannot tell you how grim the AI in higher ed situation is. Many of the students have completely surrendered to letting AI do their homework, badly, I might add. How do you fix this? Truly, what the hell do we do, beyond what grading can address, which isn't a solution?

autumn arrives anyway

There are a ton of people you can recruit to your cause who are not fascists. A TON.

“This is how poems happen for me. Bits and pieces, glimpses and strokes, hints and imagistic nudges, and at some almost-accidental moment it all flies together--not to make sense but to induce a feeling. I call these gifts.” -- Yusef Komunyakaa

A week ago, I reported flags that appeared following the w/e riot in London dotted down our local High Street. I was referred to the Highways team, who told me that the Street Lighting team has raised a 28-day job to have them removed. Today, I see that someone in our town responded in good form 👏👏

There is a LOT of traffic this morning… when are these people gonna get raptured so I can drive

Ok just checking - them people still here today? Or does it start after 12pm cst? Or?

I see several countries recognizing Palestine as a state, and this is a wonderful thing and I appreciate it, but as a person from Gaza, all I want now is a ceasefire by any means. I hope for that from the bottom of my heart.

Goddamn it, they’re all still here aren’t they. No rapture again 😭

We are all going to wake up just as disappointed as they are that they are still here and the rapture didn’t work. Again.

All I know is every rapture the Christian nationalists have promised me that all the Christian nationalists would disappear and I keep waiting with bated breath but it hasn’t happened yet.

I am old enough to remember when the last rapture didn’t work out either.

I can't think of a good rapture joke. Eh, it's not the end of the world.
