Just because you feel something doesn't make it true. And while you have a right to your feelings, you do not have the right to have your feelings that have no factual support catered to at the expense of those who haven't harmed you & who are, in fact, more likely than you to be harmed.

In Jewish tradition, we find our way out of narrow places through conjuring a future of liberation and redemption. We have not earned the luxury of despair. Now is the time for rugged optimism.

Because Judaism is about doing, not "believing." You can think whatever you want, but you're a good Jew if you do good Jewish things. Christianity is focused on spiritual matters, Heaven, etc. We're about the here and now, tikun olam, the practical matters of everyday life.

HELP! I'm being inspired against my own will! I'm feeling seen! I'm uncovering hope under layers of cynicsm! Who is this spokesperson for a self-reflective party that is committing to fight back, and what does he think he's doing??
Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

It’s beautiful in DC right now. Peak bloom from the cherry blossoms and petals drift by wherever you walk, blown in from some distant or nearby tree.
When I first transitioned, they were blooming, years ago.
On this Transgender Day of Visibility, I am yearning for our own spring to return.

not for nothing, in addition to being old af, Judaism is varied and contradictory and human and tremendously interesting and it's just really silly to assume people who care about it and enjoy each other are vapid and delusional sheep

Being brave doesn’t mean you aren’t scared… it’s about doing the right thing despite being absolutely terrified.
I am not promising you you'll be safe, I am asking you to be brave.
