From Rabbi @marisaelana.bsky.social:

May Iranians, who mostly hate their leaders, be safe.
May Palestinians, who mostly hate their leaders, be safe.
May Israelis, who mostly hate their leaders, be safe.

May all the war-mongering authoritarians be deposed & may they [yet] experience real justice..

Saving for hel in spring
random weird fact I know: the first recorded use of the singular “they” in the English language was the 1375 story “William and the Werewolf,” obv referring to the werewolf

so happy halloween to all they/thems carrying on a fine 700-year tradition, be gay be cryptid get candy
the “they” in “they follow” is wokeism
