IN THE MEANTIME you should check out this series! It's chaotic! It's got royal quadruplets! And autism! It's one of the weirdest things you'll ever read! The first line is "I was six years old the first time Mom threatened to sew my mouth shut!!" BOOK ONE - geni.us/tfiati BOOK TWO - geni.us/dotk

god it's so karmic that netanyahu's opposition likely won't be able to form a government unless they build a coalition with the arab parties

love when a youtuber who's mainly known for lecturing the far-right on holocaust denial decides climb in bed with antisemitic conspiracies about how the jews did 9/11. like yesss go off king!! our mass murder is just a prop to build your influencer career!! /s

i love getting cilantro in my meal delivery kit. always nice to have a bit of garnish for my garbage.

Others that I haven't read but really need to because they are highly praised: The Fall is All There Is by @cmcaplanwrites.bsky.social for post-apoc grimdark weirdness. Gates of Hope by @hannafordjenny.bsky.social for epic fantasy with animal companions.

oh we’re doing an aliyah, that’s fun! oh, and another one! And…oh huh. *checks program* ALL SEVEN???

on saturday i went to a reconstructionist place thinking it was a reform congregation so i went on a whole emotional journey from “wow this is so nice, a lot chiller than what I’m used to” to “it really just keeps going huh” to “i should’ve had breakfast and picked a seat that had cushions 💀💀💀”

if your tone of voice sounds like you’re about to add “GET HIM” we’re moving in the wrong direction 😅

A lot of gentiles seem confused about whether or not you can say Jew, since a lot of three letter ethnic terms are slurs, and i would say you’re generally fine as long as you’re not shouting stuff like “HE’S A JEW!! HE’S A JEW!” like the guy who just shouted at me as i left the library.

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

This is collective punishment, which is expressly prohibited under Article 33 of the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949. www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

This is one of the larger left-of-center Facebook pages, and I do feel like a few years ago, left-of-center people on social media with large audiences were not using terms like “goyslop”?

FRIENDS: recommend some trans-authored books (including yours!) in the comments! And if you've never read a book by a trans person, browse the comments and you may find your next great read. No time like the present to stick it to the pieces of shit who think we ought neither to be seen or heard

My first recommendation is Rivers Solomon's brilliant sci-fi, An Unkindness of Ghosts. It's one of my absolute favourite books and combines a plot that'll have you flipping the pages to see what happens with deep and difficult characters: www.goodreads.com/en/book/show...

It’s telling that the Israel Foreign Ministry is saying Brad Lander, a proud and vocal Jewish person, traveled to a “foreign country.” When Israel wants the moral high ground of saying it speaks for all the Jews, it is all of our homeland. When we ask it to be better, it’s a foreign country to us.

Israel’s Foreign Ministry attacking Brad Lander - a self-described liberal Zionist - by name, simply for doing protective presence, should be the final sign that the Israeli government would gladly sacrifice every last Jew in Diaspora to dominate more Palestinians with impunity.

*antisemite who was only half paying attention* we gotta blow up these Cinnabons

dressed up as a pirate for the ren faire like “this is me if i’d been in spain during the Alhambra Decree”

sure there’s a lot of publishing drama but at least our industry doesn’t have two rival writers who are both convinced they’re wizards but who disagree about How Specifically they need to cum to cast certain spells

the last few years for me have really been a phenomenal exercise in reasons to avoid people who self-identify as petty

Netanyahu is a genocidal war criminal who belongs in the Hague, but Jews were not considered ethnic Poles based on the Polish government, and Polish Jewish last names were forced on families against their will. This kind of conspiratorial rhetoric about Jews faking their identity is gross.

i’m fighting battles you could never conceive of over on tiktok

Asking random American Muslims to disavow the Muslim Brotherhood is like asking random American Jews to disavow Israel. They’re both tropes about dual loyalties. If you can understand why one is inappropriate, you should be able to understand why the other is, too.

It wouldn't made it any less awful if this were not the case, but as it happens, the "Washington Post" photographer here is Jewish. It was always inevitable that sooner or later, Jewish nationalist fascism would turn against the Wrong Kinds of Jews.

they’re beating my ass for this over on threads gang

I once worked at a wendys and after like four weeks of only getting scheduled like 4 hours, only on Wednesday, they asked me to mop the kitchen with a bucket smeared with what i suspected was human feces. i asked how i should decontaminate it. they said “it’s probably dirt, just wipe it off.”

*watching encanto* oh hey! they're triplets! how quaint!!

THE REAL "EPSTEIN CLASS" ISN'T JEWS OR EVEN BILLIONAIRES, IT'S MISOGYNISTS. I wrote about the antisemitic weaponization of Epstein's legacy, and how we discuss him in ways designed to avoid addressing the misogyny in our own lives. Full essay: cmcaplan.substack.com/p/the-real-e...
