A bespectacled, Jewish hypochondriac with literary pretensions and a creepy fascination with his stepson's girlfriend — Guess who?
Woody Allen's debut novel 'What's With Baum" stars a bespectacled, creepy, Jewish hypochondriac. Sound familiar?

The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God. Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well.

Gaza is starving. Where are the American Jewish leaders?
A fear of being labelled antisemitic still deters American Jews and Jewish institutions from taking a position that is morally correct.

ICE deported Jerce Reyes Barrios, a Venezuelan soccer player who was tortured by Maduro’s dictatorship. He had applied for asylum in the U.S. No evidence he committed any crime. No gang membership. Then ICE sent him to a prison in El Salvador.

I was in a room with a few octogenarians yesterday and I thought man, these people survived Jim Crow. My grandfather was 12 when Emmett Till was lynched. His dad almost met the same fate in Georgia. Amnesia will be our downfall if you don’t keep speaking up that history is right there.

Re Gaiman it’s not hard. It’s not an art or artist kind of tug o war. If you can think of anything else while reading or watching a Gaiman text or show have had it. I will never be able to unthink it.

This post makes me think of truly countless interactions with older male writers I’ve had. It was just part of being female. In fact we were meant to take these comments as compliments.
