That is an antisemetic comment. I don't support Israel's actions and I am still a Jew who receives attacks for who I am. Jewish is not Zionist. Throw that shit around, you are perpetuating the same canard that Hitler was - that our allegiance is to a foreign power > our country of origin.

Two things can be true at once - the Right and Zionists are using criticism of Israel to scream antisemitism, but the reality is, at the same time that attacks on Jews and Jewish institutions IS rising:

Thank you, I'll check it out. Doesn't help that my avocation is weaving and spinning - lots of non-ergonomic positions in that process. That said, breaking your pinky does not do a lot for grip strength.

OMG - I guess I am old, talking about all my aches and pains. Temporarily able bodied indeed!

I just found out I have Arthritis in my neck. I guess that's why I haven't been able to turn my head all the way to the right for a while.

Oh, and that carpal tunnel? Turns out the problem is in my wrist, elbows, and yes neck.

Just grateful for a desk job, not working as an RN in a hospital

Didn't know until recently.That is the most common place for arthritis to first appear in women

I knew I was going to have to make it in two panels, and rather than trying to line it up, I decided to go free form

Have fun! Here's a blanket I spun and wove. Turned into a breed study - spun single breed yarn. A lot of it is Shetland or Jacob, but also Finn and Gotland.

Claimed by Ms. MO Boudreaux before it was even dry after wet finishing.

Yes I listened to the interview. And those "podcast bros" are people who worked in the Obama Whitehouse. The one interviewing was on the NSC, so they have a bit of knowledge and experience with both politics and governance.

I don't trust the Dem machine trying to crush him more.
