I am pro-HRT, on it myself and loving it. But saying that menopause "shortens lifespan" is nonsensical - *symptoms* could do that. The HHS has done HRT no favors here by arguing for it in a nonsensical way

Also had credibility with grassroots that supported him and public financing

whelp I read the comments on FB and they are 99% this guy is Hamas we have to keep telling our heroic stories of killing brown people so maybe my comment should just have been good job; keep going 😆

"am I pissy because I'm in menopause or because I'm reading what the dumbest people alive who happen to be in power have to say about it?" every woman my age reading this

what would it even mean to say "menopause shortens your lifespan" Even with HRT, you go thru menopause. It's a stage of life. The only way you don't go through it is if you die too soon. You might as well say "your 50s shorten your life"

yeah reading more carefully I feel like I was maybe a little mean - like his reading of JSF is correct, but it's like dunking on that saying we need something different to avoid looking at what has always been there - and as someone on here clocked, you mention roth but not shylock? be serious now

a lot of this stuff is like a college freshman saying "they don't teach this history" about a civil rights icon who has a shelf of literature written about them. no shame in what you don't know, but you should be reflecting on your own acculturation, not making claims about what's out there

not really blaming this author who is well intentioned- though they could stand to read Jews without money and @blbalthaser.bsky.social - but while the thin spiritual and textual gruel the Zionist mainstream has been dishing out isn't of course its most important sin, it's really worth noting

this also makes the point that disorder on the right is not something to celebrate: religiondispatches.org/dont-be-fool...

it is good. many on the Jewish left are paying attention to this, with great fear. @benlorber8.bsky.social especially; this gives some sense of the lay of the land jewishcurrents.org/confronting-...

The PSC is proud to congratulate Mayor-elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and every member who helped elect him, and fired up to continue the struggle for a New York we can all afford.

Two things: despite some signs of an opening looks like hasidic vote went overwhelmingly for cuomo. This is its own dynamic. but for the affluent non-Hasidic the alternative information reality solidified by 2 years of genocide denial is huge

Which will not really be realized in the Jewish vote post mortems

Yes what’s clear is despite some promising overtures most of the Hasidic vote went cuomo

Haha especially funny given who she is married to irl

Interesting tho that all the local city officials have lined up, even the hackiest machine dems

I will say many well meaning teachers give advise like “.org not .com” or “peer review” that are just not up to the moment. I don’t know what is
