"Dr" used only when dismissed by colleagues. Recovering academic interested in early modern Yiddish (mostly of the "smut" variety).

If there’s one thing Israelis and Palestinians can all agree on it’s that white Americans ruined hummus.

This is openly genocidal rhetoric.

Anyone in denial of it at this point… knowing who his other ministers are, what they’ve said about Palestinians, the overall rhetoric around the war… is going out of their way to ignore what’s happening.

No more! We are witnessing a horror.

When the world's a dumpster fire - make bat wraps. A bat wrap is a piece of flannelette fabric with a pillow stitched in at one end. The orphaned bat cuddles the pillow (as it would its Mum) & the extra fabric is wrapped around to simulate being enclosed in her wings. Bats are important pollinators

Jews are traumatized beyond belief. So many are hoping to simply be treated as humans who are suffering.

This is understandably very hard while there is a war on. While others also deserve their humanity to be seen.

The answer is an always-expanding commitment to seeing the humanity in others.

So many Jews who are in pain, in mourning. So many Palestinians in pain and mourning. All this suffering demands the full measure of empathy. This statement from a couple of days ago is one of the better ones that I've seen.

Yo, anyone on bluesky, what's happening in the world outside of sports and celebrities in the US? I care about neither and that's all Xwitter will show me.
