Here is a corrected version of it. It should have any and all typos taken care of - but feel free to point out any! I want this to be squared away before I make any prints! Thanks, #JewSky for your enthusiasm!

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness)
As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

i've seen so many articles on this today, and not a single one so far has pointed out that where "not taking any benefits payments" is concerned, you have no access to public funds on a visa. this has been the case for years. but nobody, from the BBC down, will challenge this or anything else
To say that you will ‘have to volunteer’ to be eligible for settled status even if working full time as a doctor or nurse for example is not really volunteering because it would not be voluntary. The govt should call it something else if they want to enforce it.

All the invisible work by women in the home is treated as worthless by the state. No material compensation, but families rely on it to function.

What’s frustrating is the only discussion is about model immigrants, but most people are not ‘model minorities’, in the eyes of the state. What of a homemaker taking care of children and older relatives? Will they be *forced to volunteer*, on top of all their duties at home?
Krishnan Guru Murthy, "Isn't it a bit insulting to say to an Indian doctor who is working 60-70 hours a week that in order to get settled status he's got to volunteer?"
Rachel Reeves, "We want people to contribute if they come to our country"
Labour have gone utterly bonkers

Do Labour and Tory politicians really truly believe that being eligible for out of work disability payments is by itself making people decide not to work? That having this support available if we need it is making disabled people opt out of employment?

Somewhat thinking about #gender 🏳️⚧️ and #masculinity ♂️ lately - though more precisely I’ve noticed how much I don’t think about my gender lately.
I came out 16 years ago.
Talking to people who’ve been out of the closet fewer years is.. Odd.

Those who suggest that victims of vaccine preventable diseases are deserving of it will be insta-blocked. Most cases are children. And both kids and adults could be unvaccinated because of lack of access, misinformation, contraindications. Public health is not about leaving anyone behind.

The thing that these sycophants want you to forget is that when a startup fails a bunch of VCs don't make a profit - and most startups fail, or feign profitability just long enough to get bought out.
This is not what happens when a government fails.
