Black fishers are just trying to make a living in North Carolina and they're facing chefs lowballing them, having their boats sunk, and other systemic racism.

Sukkot commands us to welcome guests and to find joy together. You never know when strangers might turn out to be angels. It was an honor to welcome @mayor.nyc.gov — and some very special ushpizin (exalted guests) — to our sukkah this week.

People often miss this. Antisemitism may not be structural in the US today in the way anti-Blackness is, but overcoming the legalism of Judaism for the spirit of love of Christianity is the ur-narrative for so much left politics in the culturally Christian world. We need to guard against it.

If you were “there with us”, you would hear our stories. If you were “there with us”, you would try to understand our pain and our fury. If you were really there with us, you wouldn’t be thinking about yourself.

Autism is not new. Detection, diagnosis, and treatment of autism are new. Additionally, Republicans at federal and state levels are gleefully yanking money out of public schools—the way to protect needed accommodations for children is to get a formal IEP, which often is bolstered by a diagnosis.

Scale ABSOLUTELY matters. Should I have cared before, when the scale was smaller? Probably, yes. That doesn’t mean my concern now is false.

Alais @alaisthewise.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
Yes, of COURSE it’s the scale. They’re building FOUR of these things in or just outside the community I grew up in (a city of ~120k) right now; residents are being priced out of rental and owned property, the environmental impact is huge, in a state with already-catastrophic cancer rates.

The amount of times I have been told that I, personally, am going to cost X, Y, or Z candidate the election because I critiqued their anti-trans position is incredible. It's never that their positions are going to cost them votes. It's that by pointing it out, I will.

I'm ambivalent. Getting rid of AI, fine, so long as the policy is clear what they mean by AI. ChatGPT and something like Speechify text-to-speech are both using AI, but text-to-speech has a place in learning as a disability accommodation and should not be refused to students.

Are presuming that Jews are against a free Palestine and are looking to pick a fight. Maybe they genuinely want a free Palestine, but they only talk about it when they can say, “unlike these AWFUL JEWS”.

Alais @alaisthewise.bsky.social · 15/09/2026
Not at all! It’s like this: I was at my local co-op buying challah; my checker had a pin saying “Free Palestine”. They were very pleasant to me as I was to them—no problems! I too want freedom for Palestinians! People who show up in Jewish spaces/conversations just to say “Free Palestine”
