(With thanks to @miriamanzovin.bsky.social) Sanhedrin 75: A man set his eyes upon a certain woman and passion rose in his heart, to the point that he became deathly ill. The doctors said: He will have no cure until he has sex with her. The Sages said: Let him die.

Grayscale image, originally from XKCD, showing a complicated structure of rectangular blocks all stacked on top of each other, with a single thin rectangle hidden in the corner holding the whole thing together. The structure is labeled "All American Jewish culture," and the thin rectangle is labeled with an image of Sunkist Fruit Gems.

For #nationaldogday, have a few pictures of my heart-puppy with the ridiculous ears, who crossed the rainbow bridge just last week. I miss her.

Golden brown dog with ears the size of her head, lying next to a blue chair on a gray patterned rug on a wood floor

Picture of a white woman with short gray hair and glasses sitting on a couch. A medium-sized golden brown dog is lying on the back of the couch with her head and front paws over the woman’s shoulder

The rabbis were saying this 1800+ years ago. Some arguments are for the sake of Heaven. They will endure forever because both sides have a point, and both sides are ultimately in good faith, trying to reach the same goal. And some arguments are… not for the sake of Heaven. They will not endure.

Adult ADHD diagnoses now routinely land in people's 30s and 40s. There's a reason. Lindsey Mackereth calls it Neurocomplexity Resource Theory: the same wiring expresses as "gifted" when you have resources, and as ADHD-like when depleted. Parenting incinerates the resources.

Your Jewish friends and neighbors are tired. Sometimes we just want you to understand why our community and our synagogues being repeatedly attacked is frightening, without explaining it away because of the Mideast or comparing it to other forms of hate.

You deserve access to abortion care if you are pregnant and do not want to be. Full stop. Your reasons are your reasons and they are good enough. Abortion is healthcare and everyone deserves healthcare access.

Thinking about this midrash I learned with @sararonis.bsky.social The Roman Empire is like a pig - just as a pig covers itself in mud but shows off its hooves as if to say "look how kosher and clean I am!" Rome is prideful and violent and thieving but loves to show off its courts of justice. 1/2

I wrote about Ta-Nehisi Coates and Ezra Klein, why swallowing live frogs is a bad idea, and how context and history can release you from bright-kid syndrome, the illusion that you yourself are going to have every answer or fix the world.

You don't have to swallow frogs

Klein and Coates show that if you don't know what your core beliefs are, you're going to get played.
