I am making a thread of the beginnings of all the chapters of the Pharisee’s Wife so it’s easier to find.

I don't think the kids are alright, the kids are clearly broken (and it's our fault) but they are funny and that is better than nothing so I'll take it

Screenshot because quotes are closed and I am largely agreeing with the poster but…

Weirdly enough I think my WASP grandparents got around that eventually to embrace my Jewish mother and her family by extension.

also more directly to the point: i always wanna ask these guys if they think WASPs of their grandparents time considered their grandparents as having successfully assimilated.

spoiler: they did not!

hey, hot take, but I think we should shame full on adults who go to a theme park, which is for children, to get shitfaced.
The surging popularity of a drinking challenge at Epcot highlights the thin line between magical and messy. “You have to stay locked in, so as to not scare the children.”
The Wildest Ride at Epcot: Keeping Day Drinkers From Getting Trashed
The fan-made ‘Drinking Around the World’ challenge has made the park a draw, but things can go from magical to messy in a hurry.

What is wrong with your country that you think Jews shouldn’t gather outside?
Begs the question: Why did they go ahead or not move the event indoors or organize more of their own security.

Jewish security group assessed the event as high- risk and asked for stronger police presence at Bondi Hanukkah festival.

If I made a post about my kid like this and tagged them I would deserve no less than being cut off forever.
I see the kid is 19 now but I think there are some places that would start checking their child abuse case law if this had started before the kid was 18.

A woman came up to the dock and when I asked her what charity she wanted to benefit she asked if we had any lgbtq charities. What I MEANT to say is that we started as a gay mutual aid group in the 80s raising money for people with aids. What I SAID was “oh we’re all very gay here”

Stripping people of citizenship is fascism.
This is exactly why I strongly opposed the move to strip Shamima Begum of her citizenship. Plenty of Brits have dual citizenship, often through a parent, or have access to another citizenship whether they intend to take it up or not, including all Jewish people & most people born in Northern Ireland
Ask this question and its follow-up. Like Begum before him, Alaa el-Fattah is being used as a crowbar to shift reasonable people - even some progressives - into a space of thinking that full citizenship, if granted recently or dual, is retroactively conditional or attracts a lower class of rights.

Saw Bluesky described as where elder millennials go to retire from the internet, and immediately felt the peace that passes all understanding wash over me. None of have to struggle any longer. We completed our time.

“I’m an atheist who believes all scriptures are full of lies, which is why I reference scripture all the time and, when confronted with the antisemitism of the lies, find it nigh impossible to apologize for not recognizing antisemitism when I see it and just stop making scriptural references.”
