Working on a piece for Defector about Warhammer 40k, something I've wanted to write for about five years, and my research revealed that Games Workshop contributes more to the UK's total economic output than the entire fishing industry.

We have a problem in British history if an article like this can be written/published without mentioning Edward’s expulsion of Jews from England in 1290 or the coin-clipping persecutions of the 1280s. Anglo-Jewish history IS English history. If your history books don’t reflect that, rewrite them.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, holding a red ball labeled "A SILLY MEME".
The second panel shows Sarah taking the ball and going through a door labeled "GROUP CHAT".
The third panel shows a group of women sitting together and consoling one woman in the center. The woman in the center is saying "...And that's how it happened. It's been the worst day of my life."
The fourth panel shows Sarah standing in the doorway behind them awkwardly holding the red ball.

We went and found the Lego sukkah. It’s in Oak Park, MI, and it was built by Menachem R., with help from his nieces and nephews. During the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, you build a booth and eat meals outside in it. They’re usually made of wood but he got funky with this one!

When I taught at an all-boys prep school, we'd do an activity where I had them list every sexual term they could think of. They'd often laugh, as many were absurd things meant for Urban Dictionary. We'd then go through how many terms were violent (~85%) and how many were male-dominant (~90%).
