My SAHM friends who make bread every other day are now asking how to make protest signs. I don't think the problem is that we have no mass movement; I think the problem is that some folks thought it would be more glamorous.

Good.

“Disabled people,” the symbolic bludgeon wielded by the Extremely Online seem to have almost no relation to disabled people, the actual human beings that live in and navigate the real world.

I made a delicious focaccia yesterday and Spouse said "you know what would be good? Those peppers I picked yesterday baked into this bread." So. Guess I'm making a very spicy focaccia today

There is, of course, a secret third way that no one seems to discuss: One-way masking is extremely effective. Put on an N95 and let other people do what they want. There's no reason to feel divided from your communities over masking! I mask often, e.g. in shul and when I teach. It's not a big deal

OK, here’s my contribution to the discourse: It grinds my gears when people say “disabled people” want everyone to mask. A pretty big proportion of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities can’t wear masks and at this point are pretty hostile to them.

A defining feature of this admin is attacking as antisemitic everything they don’t like while constantly engaging in rank antisemitism.

This is a powerful account from a PhD student whose fellowship was terminated by NIH because it was part of a "diversity" program without any other considerations or understanding of what the program or the students were actually doing. undark.org/2025/10/09/o... 1/2

just so we're clear, this is extremely fake

the reason many jews, including non- and anti-zionists, are upset by this meme is because it relies on an older antisemitic trope about jews being a parasitic race with no culture of our own. but a consequence of diaspora is that our culture has always been enmeshed with the societies we live in.

"self-deport" was a term created by far-right parties to sanitize the idea of making people so miserable that they have to flee the country. I hate that I am seeing it in otherwise sympathetic news articles.

Me @ Torah study: Y'all know about magical qualities of crossroads? They're places where the veil between realms is supposedly the thinnest? Bear with me, Sukkot is a magical holiday, we're shaking herbs and dwelling in a tent that's not in but not out, inviting deceased guests, like at a crossroads

If I die in the Portland Wars, I want y'all to make sure "Esther Jean would have Saved Her" goes on my tombstone.

Pretty clever, actually, for antisemites to test just how much raw sewage antisemites are willing to swallow by asserting that Jews and/or Israelis are claiming foods strongly associated with ethnicities that are perceived to be exclusive of Jews Clever, but depressing

Juniper: (steals Melanie Cagle's photograph, writes outrage-bait text in distinctly My Jewish Learning-style font and color formats) Also Juniper: What did *I* do??

Wow what a surprise, who would have imagined Jewish practices would get swept up in eugenics policies masquerading as protection of children?

There is not some hypothetical fixed moment in historical time when you can identify where a particular population lived and return there to achieve justice. Communities have always migrated and many of us come from many places. We just have to do our best to build just societies where we are.

To me, having kids is at its core a surreal daily experience of my heart walking around outside of and independent of my body: at once painful, terrifying, glorious, and awe-inspiring. If you want to say that sucks, sure. Sometimes it sucks. It is also the highest honor of my life.

Hey how's it going, just talked with a Trumpist relative who told me they agree with Jonah, God should not have forgiven Nineveh. Can someone please pull the brake lever and let me off this carnival ride, feels a little rickety and dangerous

The whole reason Bluesky took off is people fleeing a social media network where the CEO went on a bigoted rampage.

Suspending Erin Biba, a Jewish woman for this skeet is nasty work. Between this and intentionally misreading Link’s use of a meme as a threat, bsky mods are more than willing to ban based on the Spirit Of The Law for *some* posters but never Jesse Singal. bsky.app/profile/aman...

The all-knowing bsky mods gave Erin Biba a 24 hour suspension for a months-old skeet about Christian Zionism, and I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that this happened when she’s been vocally criticizing Jay

Y'know, I would really appreciate it if one (1) single person in my children's school district marked them "excused absent" for Yom Kippur. Could be an individual subject/classroom teacher or the registrar - just some acknowledgement, come ON, I sent notes before & after, it always works for illness

Apropos of nothing: have you ever eaten cacao nibs and wondered why the flavor is more rich than the flavor of chocolate? When cacao is processed into chocolate, it loses some of its top notes. You can largely replace these by adding chocolate extract, a highly underrated ingredient.

Really important.

Many replies to this skeet are absolutely repugnant. If you responded "I'm an anti-theist" or "I dislike all Abrahamic religions," what you're really saying is "I hate both Muslims and Jews."

As you read this puff piece about how brave and steadfast Amy Coney Barrett is, keep in mind that the house of South Carolina circuit court judge Diane Goodstein exploded over the weekend and some of her family members barely escaped with their lives. She had recently ruled against the admin.

Worth mentioning that he also name-searches himself constantly and attacks gentiles that stand up for Jews. He went after Lindsay Ellis over her video on Ms. Rachel, as well as Sarah Z for daring to have an intelligent conversation with her on Bluesky. He's bad news.

Yes. Block and tell other people to block. Spread the word.

Genuinely a horrid bastard of a person, truly baffling how many folks I respect follow him This is genuinely worse than the Zinnia Jones shit, imo, but I wager it's getting a fraction of the pushback because it's framed (dishonestly) as about Israel at every step

guy is a real piece of work, avoid

Chaverim. Beloveds. Don't interact with Bad Empanada He was banned from Twitter years ago after he called for the murder of Israeli children. He regularly denies that antisemitism exists. This is not someone you debate, this is not someone you platform to your followers. This is someone you block.

I am perversely proud to discover that @postingtreyf.bsky.social has been labeled "Rude" at the account level by Bluesky, but if you, like me, have that label set to "Hide", you're going to need to change that if you want Jewsky's self described "vulgar id" back on your skyline.

I think school pajama days are creepy and inappropriate especially with tweens and teens; let kids be kids and all, but don't encourage the erasure of boundaries. Don't gaslight kids into thinking there's no difference between home and school life, that's like employers saying they're your family

The shul we attend parades Sifrei Torah along roughly half the aisles before leyning and the other half after. My kids have discovered that they can kiss the scrolls both times if they hustle to the section behind the center aisle. It's kind of adorable to see them love Torah this much +

I feel like I'm going to be walking around today taking compliments on my soul: "This old thing? Thank you! No, it's not new, just refreshed. I got it on Yom Kippur."

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

What if I made a stuffed challah filled with minced ingredients for apple charoset? Seems odd to mix holidays but also I can practically taste it and... yum

Do you ever see a photo of yourself, but it's not you? I feel like I'm that weird little guy in photos of happy celebrities, not supposed to be there, just happened to wander in frame at the wrong time, feeling super awkward and out of place. No one wants him there but also no one cares This guy👇

Where I used to live, my shul would match folks who didn't have invitations with folks willing to share their tables during high holidays and festivals, regardless of shul affiliation or lack thereof (university town, so lots of young people and visiting scholars away from home) +

Markwayne Mullin is trying to rewrite history here by repeatedly claiming that Tucker Carlson was fired by Fox for comments about Covid. In fact, he was fired for repeatedly defaming Dominion Voting Systems (the settlement for which Fox paid Dominon $787.5 million.)

CHRISTIAN: This person is bad, a Pharisee! JEW: Pharisees were Jews, can you stop using "Jew" as an insult? CHRISTIAN: I have to use this term; it's the only word my audience will understand JEW: There are many insults CHRISTIAN: But none so insulting as "Pharisee!" JEW: So you're the audience

Hi guys, this fucker is Ramzi, who used to haunt my replies on Twitter as @a48philistine He likes Asking Questions about the Holocaust, and wondering if aren't you talking a bit too much about yourself? Instead, let's talk about Ramzi! Or just search my profile for every other time I did

Unique opportunity here. I hate defending Kimmel, and I'm not fond of Disney corporate, but I do have some professional experience working with Disney and their social media. They hate unexpected hemorrhages in unexpected places and low engagement places, like PMs to www.facebook.com/thewaltdisne...

Republicans are not "Nazis." Republicans have not built "concentration camps." Republicans are not "suppressing free speech." Republicans are not "turning media outlets into propaganda machines." Republicans are not "using the military to occupy American cities." We're Americans.
