(Yes that's where the name of my first book comes from.)

I've had this happen to me and then that same judge yells at me because I'm in two places at once. Well whose fault is that?

Yup. Seen that many times.

The first time I ever sat in on housing court, via zoom, I saw an attorney with COVID drag himself on long enough to ask for a continuance because, well, COVID. Opposing counsel objected. My jaw hit the floor.

Honestly I increasingly wonder if *I* am

and way too many members of their congregations, who voted against that tinpot dictator at higher levels than any cohort other than Black women, will nonetheless nod along and clap because of the expectation that we must support that vassal's "right to exist" unconditionally at any cost.

This is the biggest moral failing of Judaism at least since the Hasmonean Dynasty (they really sucked, sorry) and possibly EVER, and what's most infuriating is how so many of us refuse to even acknowledge just how utterly FUCKED all of this is even as we claim to nominally oppose it.

I appreciate you, truly. Honestly it's more just annoying than anything. If they decide they actually want to do anything besides complain, I may take you up on it though. Thank you. 💙

It's more the latter, but it's still, pardon my language, fucking annoying.

I think honestly the fact I sued the ARDC a while back bc of the transphobia admittedly also didn't do me any favors with shit like this.

I appreciate the offer, but no. It's fine. I'll be fine. I doubt they'll do anything. I just...hate getting the complaints.

I doubt I will lose my license for [checks notes] publicly saying genocide is bad, but I won't lie, this fucking sucks
November 17, 2025 at 9:19 PM
It's unethical not to support genocide apparently
