Thank you, @rabbijilljacobs.bsky.social

On all that private discomfort and how it’s not breaking through into public speech and action that matters:
"“God’s name is being desecrated through our sins,” Rabbi Amital wrote nearly five decades ago. “Is it possible to remain silent?!” Today, his challenge tragically rings just as true."

My words in the Forward today (appropriately on Rav Amital’s yahrtzeit)

Gaza is starving. Where are the American Jewish leaders?
A fear of being labelled antisemitic still deters American Jews and Jewish institutions from taking a position that is morally correct.

It's our seventh wedding anniversary. I'm laying in bed next to the most beautiful spouse gremlin in the world. Been scrolling through wedding photos while I wait for the donuts to arrive.

If my job skills transferred to Canada, I might be more pushy about emigrating. But, as usual, I am not good enough.

I'd donate to a gofundme for some enterprising soon-to-be-fired Smithsonian employee turned hero to nab that portrait Trump had removed from the Colorado State Capitol Building and relocate it to the entrance of the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery affixed with permanent adhesive.

Who wants to read a Canadian book set in Canada and packed full of Canadian* references?

*specifically Québec and specifically Bas-St-Laurent.

Things such as: MC gets mistaken for an american because she’s confused by the lack of 1cent coins in her change XD

I would really like to see an end to the "Mars needs moms" trope. And it's given me a terrible story idea. I wish I was any kind of writer, because it could be fun.

Absolutely love it when pain wakes me up.

I spent 20 minutes using the massage gun on my hips, thighs, and back. The pain was gone for about an hour. I may need to see someone about this. It's a new, more intense kind of pain and nothing is making it better.

This made my blood run cold, and it feels very literal at the moment.
This is a full purge of every single LGBTQ employee at the NSA. Rufo is falsely mischaracterizing a LGBTQ employee resource group as a "sex chat" to create pretext to fire every single member in it.

This is a playbook they will run to purge the entire federal government.

I try not to repost a lot of "trans doom" stories, despite the high levels of ambient trans doom, but this is of note, especially to the cis folks out there. Trans people are essentially being banned from entering the US.
www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The end result of this is trans people can't travel to the USA without the risk of being permanently banned from entering the USA on grounds of "gender fraud".

Already know trans folks in high tech fields who will be cancelling plans to give talks in America.

I've had words in me, struggling to get out. Mostly about how the world needs to cut the US out of their economies, especially US businesses that exploit other countries to death. This country ONLY cares about money, so take it away. The rest of the world is better off without us.
