Andrew is an antisemite. Antisemites deserve to be blocked into oblivion; they are not worthy of our attention or time.

Great thread below, and here's a thread of what I'd like to see in Jewish kidlit

Strong evidence that the shooters at the mosque in San Diego yesterday held both Islamophobic and antisemitic beliefs. Our safety is bound up together, no matter how much politicians may try to divide us.

I often hear "cash is king" when it comes to teacher gifts, but I am here to report that two classes of students made me cards and wrote notes thanking me for teaching them math, telling me the impact, so no, cash is not king. Knowing how students feel about you is truly being treated like royalty.

LIKE I SAID

This security guard died protecting children at the Islamic Center of San Diego. If you can help support his family, it would go a long way. www.launchgood.com/v4/campaign/...

Also, school administrators: NAME THE THING. It's not a generic "hate symbol;" it's a swastika. It's not generic "hate speech;" it's slurs and threats targeting Jews.

I can't stand it when folks on here say the younger generation will fix society's issues and reject the bigotry that is so prevalent among US adults, because if that were the case, why would I be getting frequent emails lately about "hate symbol" (read: swastika) incidents from my kids' schools?

Apparently the middle school kids drove a teacher sufficiently nuts today that she ranted about how they need to grow up, they don't understand gas prices or the war in Ukraine, and she then went on a tangent about how Jewish kids are adults by age 13 and the middle schoolers should take a lesson??

this Elon Musk plot to steal your 401(k) money is really going underdiscussed

Wow: Texas Children's Hospital in Houston, one of the biggest children's hospitals in the nation, will be forced to create the nation's first ever "detransition clinic" as part of a $10 million settlement with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

Read, internalize, and then scroll up for context and internalize that too

I fed my kids a big salad for dinner and then further violated their bodily autonomy by insisting that each of them shower before I demanded that they go to bed on the schedule I determined

Just made scrambled eggs with mitmita 😮 Never going back

Moms, show me what your kids made for you to celebrate Mother's Day year! My kiddo made me an origami potted plant

Merseyside Reform UK election candidate who called the Holocaust a "hoax" and "propaganda" has been elected in the local elections. Disgusting people www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

Sorry not sorry for being so honest at the Board meeting, you all are the ones who voluntold me for the position, I know I was the only one there who didn't speak the in flowery circumlocutory terms of Ladies who Lunch but also what did you expect when you put me here, like have you met me?

People on here are a lot less offensive if you take them at face value rather than expansively interpreting their words based on your particular often very odd priors, but what would be the fun in that, I suppose

Reminder that "psychiatric drugs" are used in pediatrics for more than psychiatry. Amitriptyline, nortriptyline, duloxetine and other drugs treat debilitating chronic pain in children and adults. Kids with cancer, chronic migraine, and neuropathy are able to function because of these tools

Sharing, without comment, British newspapers’ depictions of the only Jewish person currently leading a UK political party . Times. Mail. Telegraph. Sun.

Because this often gets lost, this wasn't just Nazis targeting the LGBTQ community. Hirschfeld's Jewishness cannot be untangled from why the Nazis came for his library; what separates Nazism from fascism is the belief that Jews are the corrupters of society, in this case, by promoting LGBTQ culture.

“At the morgue, the babies were brought in with their diapers and blankets and with their hospital ID bracelets still wrapped around their tiny ankles. The pathologists’ findings were like those you would typically see in ailing adults, not newborns.” @deldeib.bsky.social

Apparently Duolingo has (fictional) Lashon Hara and my child is NOT here for that 😂

"What could Platner possibly gain if he gets elected?" People like power and money, friends. Aside from the fact that senators aren't exactly paid chump change, 45% of ex-senators since 1992 join corporate boards ($$$). More go on to similarly lucrative cake walks.

Correct. Voting for a Nazi is not acceptable under these or any circumstances. Yes, even if that costs us the senate, because letting Nazis into the senate is an absolute net negative.

I'm not super hopeful about the Bluesky population as a whole having a moral compass, I think spending too much time online degrades our humanity

Oh, did he have a nazi tattoo as well?

Vote Blue No Matter Who presumes that the candidate in fact holds blue values A Totenkampf tattoo does not demonstrate Democratic values, nor does blaming rape survivors, nor does sitting for a podcast interview and being a "longtime fan" of rightwing antisemite Nate Cornacchia.

In which fanfic, itself a retcon, is retconned onto (checks notes) the Hebrew people

The Talmud says that destroying someone's reputation is like killing them. That the victim turns red, then turns white, like a bleeding corpse.

Oh man, cold honeydew melon juice is delicious I love fruit and I will put just about anything into my blender

you don't need a study to know this is bad for kids. that's why school admins have zero excuses for signing these deals

A big problem is that too many people hear "equating all Jews with Israel is bad" and think "oh, that's what Israel does, here's more ammunition to say Israel is bad!" rather than "when I hear the word Jewish in any context and my brain immediately jumps to Israel, that's a problem."

This is Bluesky harassment in a nutshell to me: a competition for the absolute worst take that folks will view as the best take for pure sport. "You referred to all of Bluesky as 'you guys,' that damages me personally in unspecified & undemonstrated ways, yet proves that you're an anti-trans bigot"

TECH BRUNCHLORDS: we believe AI has successfully achieved human-level cognition NEUROLOGISTS: okay so your brain is like, imagine if there was a kind of pudding that sang two bars from Semi-Charmed Life whenever somebody nearby was baking cookies, right? we don’t know why it does that

Never put a literacy insult into a comment about literacy and expect the recipient to catch your meaning

Covid misinformation is pretty discouraging these days, but FWIW the article this misinformation propagator quotes comes to the exact opposite conclusion (Covid is not a significant factor in the recent decrease in healthy years)

There are two topics on which I volunteer teach at our local public school: math and history of antisemitism/Holocaust education. Thank you to Lady Firebird for demonstrating the deep connection these two topics apparently have; I never would have expected that this day would come, but here we are

I'm related to a very well-known mid-century German Communist and a bunch of vaguely Communist-sympathetic capitalists who at some point said, "I guess we're doing the Bund thing for safety and solidarity and all," and I wish people understood that membership were not always 💯 behind theorists

Just how disfavored are benches by cities? In my city, a new playground was recently built for disabled children. It has zero benches. A space specifically designed for disabled people with no seating!

An important moment in cross-cultural studies: we have found the Jewish equivalent of singing Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah in church

Two letters from UCLA student government paint a disappointing picture side by side

It's always interesting reading people defend Talmud on here because (a) I agree, Talmud is wonderful and important, yet (b) my & my children's teacher, a Hebrew Bible scholar - we are lucky beyond belief that he is in our lives - believes mitzvot are limited to the four corners of the Hebrew Bible

The replies to this post - which is about remembering Jews who were murdered by the Nazis, and says nothing at all about Palestine or Israel - are filling me with despair.

Something something economy is killing us out here

The SS soldiers guarding this group all wore the insignia Platner tattooed on himself. Fuck each and every one of you who supports Platner.

Every time I read this party line, I literally laugh out loud. It's very Birds Aren't Real

When we say that some Christians are polytheists, this is what we mean. You can't have two different gods -Old Testament Meanie and New Testament Lovey Dovey - without having two different gods

"...so the rabbi called his bishop who called the Jewish Pope, then I cried about the Jewish power structure strictly gatekeeping Hebrew classes, this story definitely for real happened, I swear on my mother's Free Press."
