Don’t shame people for not immediately reading all the books they buy. Some books aren’t made to be ready right away, okay? Some books need time to mature. Some books need to cure for a while. Some books are prosciutto, and don’t you forget it.

In 2018, my 28 year old daughter made the heart wrenching decision of having her newly turned 5 year old son's (my grandson's) brain donated to science for cancer research; so that one day, other children might live.
...while this horrifying dictator sadistically mocks us all.
PLEASE STOP HIM!

Jewish Grandma wondering where's the outrage for the cold-blooded murder of a baby and his toddler brother in Gaza? Trick Q: They were Jews. Taken hostage by Palestinian civilians, Ariel and Kfir Bibas were MURDERED by strangulation, their bodies mutilated with rocks. Anyone care to weigh in? No?

Our president, in addition to being an unhinged lunatic, cannot spell. Think that over, America. Or maybe, that's what MAGA "loves" about him. It makes him so "real."
Shut you flaming lying pie-hole you colossal piece of shit. I can’t wait for YOU to be OVER!!!!!

Are you freaking watching this presidential press conference???? I cannot. I simply cannot.
Anyway as they pull bodies out of the Potomac bear in mind that the guiding ethos of Trumpism is that the TSA, NTSB, and FAA should be radically downsized and run by dudes whose main qualifications are loyalty are a willingness to say “cunt” a lot

My son who lives in Munich informed me that this kind of speech is illegal in Germany. And let's not get into Nazi salutes. I asked my son to make sure that this walking bowl of yellow Jello be promptly arrested.
Elon Musk is telling Germany not to regret the murder of 6M+ Jews.
Holy f*ck! Just days after his Nazi salute seen around the world, Elon Musk is speaking at an AfD rally about “German pride”, warning against “multicultural delusion”, and telling them not to feel guilty about the “sins of their great grandparents”.

It is enlightening/horrifying being on social media these days because you encounter the most damaged and stupid people. I cannot believe (in the literal sense...like are these real or made-up posts???) that people are this damaged or stupid. Or resentful. But here we are.

Another week, another four innocent Israeli hostages -- ALL YOUNG WOMEN -- have been released from their captivity in Gaza. I like @bsky.app but am wondering: IS THERE ANYONE ON THIS PLATFORM WHO CARES? All of you hitting the LIKE button on pictures of corgis...care to care about human beings?

The idiocy on display right now in the name of some moronic half-cooked allegiance is staggering. The canceling of Jews and Jewish culture is just so dumb. It’s a lot of other things also but the first sign of a society decline is anti-Semitism.
Reading a dual biography of John Singer Sargent and the large Jewish family that became his favorite subjects. Antisemites pay for their hatred by self-isolation from much of the highest and best of the artistic and literary culture of the past 200 years. jeanstrouse.com/book/family-...

Haven't seen much here about the release of the 3 Israeli hostages today from their captivity in Gaza. I watched the news live from Israel, afraid to hope. I have rarely been so moved. I stand with these brave young women, with my people and with all peace-bringers. images.app.goo.gl/z2SXe7KBSJzm...
