Thinking about woke (black) as the new communist (jewish) …
In interviews w/ Black mediamakers for my forthcoming book the observation that “woke” was a new stand-in/scare word for “communist” came up a lot. I began those interviews in Jan 2021. This piece is important AND we have to acknowledge how much of the play book was already in play before Jan 2025.
Over the last 10 months, the federal government has cracked down on political expression with a persistence and viciousness reminiscent of some of the darkest periods of U.S. history. Welcome to the Third Red Scare.

still fleshing out this theory (pun intended, I guess?) but there is so much magical and symbolic thinking going on when people talk about "nutrition"
people seem to food as a source of not just potential biological contagion, but social, and, even weirder, symbolic contagion via sympathetic magic

The daily onslaught of actual antisemitism side by side w/ bad faith weaponization of antisemitism really is impacting Jews standing against the genocide. We are fighting the weaponization but we’re fighting antisemitism directed at us too. Please stop saying antisemitism isn’t an issue in the US

Wait, were we not all in agreement that part of deer’s stately beauty is “that thing could beat me up and wreck my car” healthy fear?

Today I learned there's such a thing as a semi-slug!!
A classic Dad Joke:
You'd think removing the shell
from a racing snail 🐌💨 would
make it faster, but it just
makes it more sluggish. 🥁
Let's talk about the SNAIL-SLUG CONTINUUM!
(which sounds like a Dr. Who episode)
For example, what the heck is this?
It's a SEMI-SLUG.

Today I'm drinking a veldt mini from my big bag of white2tea minis. My exploration of raw puerh continues to be "i like it". First infusion was not particularly complex; second one is much more fun (and a little bitter but not in a bad/sharp way) now that the leaves are awake.

Our 2023 Veldt blend has been tested for over 800 agrochemicals using the EU MRL standard and it passed. We made this blend to offer a clean, thoughtful, well-made raw Puer that is affordable for any ...

dvar torah thread 🧵 for this week's parsha
At Torah reading today, I naturally got to get angry, again, on the concept of a parent being ready to, literally, sacrifice their own child for their beliefs.
So obviously, I now gotta share a part from my sermon last year on Rosh Hashanah on the topic of the Akedah, the Binding of Issac.
