These two stories appeared one after the other on my timeline, and I can think of no better proof that this is the Bad Place

screencap of two stories on bsky, the first is about the new US policy of making it harder for foreign scientists to stay and the second is Dear Leader positing that he's in a room full of "high IQ people"

The Bad Place's favorite gag about penis flattening

On further reflection, at least it's something they'll likely *use* (And see more use than a stand mixer.)

From the wedding registry of a friend's child. I'm not judging, but actually I'm totally judging.

Agentic shopping sounds like a bad horror movie to this girl who may spend 2 weeks agonizing over whether or not to buy a replacement skirt. Heck, I even review my subscription cat food service every 8 weeks to adjust it. Am I just an old? Or am I just neurotic about spending money?

On October 7, 2023, I was the main gate guard at my synagogue for the holiday when my phone went nuts and I started hearing and seeing reports. My first thoughts after "omigod omigod omigod!" were "how do I protect my community now? What can I mobilize?" I activated almost 1/n

My Jewish family missed the 1930s experience in Europe, so now I'm getting to experience some of the flavor as a trans person here in the US only 90 years later.

From having been in this very same situation, I can predict that very soon, a 16 microNewton Brownian motion force will shift the cat and she will launch herself off of you, gaining purchase for movement by inserting 18 artery-openers into any soft fleshy parts available

Seen in a local FB group. We're supposed to be the smart ones, but this?

I saw a sign on XXXXX . It was an anti-Trump sign in Hebrew. Saying that Trump has not done anything and is only for himself. This is the opposite of true he has done so much for this country and for our state of Israel. He has also given so much to the public in this country and it is just so obnoxious that someone has the sign on their lawn and written in Hebrew. I mean, come on.

Your periodic reminder that people concerned over women's safety in college sports would find a more target-rich environment in frat houses, rather than trans people in locker rooms. None of the #Cornell7 needed to go through the trouble of being trans to rape a woman.

Did I say this in an attempt to get a global meeting set up at work? Yes, yes I did. Apparently I'm insane, but luckily it's one of the happy kinds.

In the aftermath of the shooting two nights ago in Ontario at a synagogue, the local Pride org wrote this, and it's how you do allyship folks: not contingent upon passing a purity test over people's philosophies, just that "gun violence is bad, let minorities live in peace, ok?"

Bay of Quinte Pride stands with the Jewish community in Belleville and across the Bay of Quinte following the violence outside the Sons of Jacob Synagogue on Sunday evening, as community members gathered to observe Yom Kippur.
Our hearts are with the congregation, their families, and everyone whose sense of safety has been shaken. We are also thinking of the injured police officer, their loved ones, and those who witnessed what happened.
Jewish people deserve to gather, worship, and live safely in our community. A place of worship should always be a place of peace, a place of connection, and a place of belonging, but never a place of fear..
While the circumstances surrounding Sunday’s violence remain under investigation, our solidarity does not depend on the outcome of that investigation. Gun violence has no place in our community for any reason.
As a Pride organization, we believe belonging means being able to live safely and openly in every part of who you are. That includes Jewish members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, whose Jewish and 2SLGBTQIA+ identities do not exist separately from one another.
We stand with our Jewish neighbours, and we will continue to challenge antisemitism when it appears, within our own spaces and beyond them.
In the days ahead, we encourage our community to lead with care. Respect the privacy of those affected. Listen to Jewish community members about what meaningful support looks like. Speak up when you encounter antisemitism. And continue showing up for one another.
To our Jewish neighbours: you are valued, you belong here, and you do not stand alone.
