And there were Braudes in Grodno, as I recall
November 28, 2025 at 9:38 PM
Brody - usually a reference to even farther Uherský Brod - is an old rabbinic family name (though in the Pale adopting rabbinic names at random was common, so no connection to the old Brodys is implied - they preferred the archaic spelling Braude)

Grodno was a practical metropolis, not especially likely

Overhead conversation, lightly paraphrased:
Younger son: Why does Aslan let bad things happen to good people?
(This really, really bothers him; he asks a version of this every chapter)
Older son: These are the rules of his father, the Emperor-Beyond-Sea. Aslan just sometimes saves people from them.

I rediscovered my "observations upon reading to my children" thread on Twitter, and it's too good not to reshare.

For context, my boys were respectively 6, 4, and 1 at the time, and 7 months into covid chaos.

I'll be adding to this thread in spurts.

I missed most of it as a kid and only read *about* the Christian references later, which made reading them to my kids a funny experience

Time to repost my thread

Double "owning" inversions
Petti will support Beinart if only to "own" Walker, Walker will support ... Apartheid South Africa? ... to "own" Beinart

Oh look! He's alive in the afterlife! He's young again! So I can reunite with my friend after all

No no, you're not dead yet, you're not going to be seeing him for a while. You can play swords for a few minutes though

I happen not to do it because I feel like I'm not enough of a Belzer to adopt that kula
November 28, 2025 at 8:30 PM
That's Belz not sabbateanism

So references in other sources from about half a century later suggest that something like the Prussian or old Polish mile is meant: 7.2 km ± 0.3, to just cover all the versions I've just seen

What an utter mess, this is 17th century Polish–Lithuanian currency *after the reforms*
