Also I'm pleased that Howard Lovy blocked me years ago on X.

(I wouldn't call Crabapple's book on the Bund an "improbable bestseller" as it offers to us a somewhat anachronistic version of a meaningful organization for Jews that countered Zionism. Indeed, I'd suggest its success is very probable right now.)

I remember seeing this with my mother and being freaked out. Later that afternoon I developed a raging ear infection so I will forever associate that movie with going to the hospital.

Anyone know what's going on with the Blake Archive? Looks like UNC Chapel Hill remapped their website but the Blake Archive itself seems to have been down for at least a day... and I am concerned. #19thC #18thC www.blakearchive.org

Just put it out there that "not all men . . ." and see where that takes you.

Ok this is intriguing but I'm about to fall asleep. Could you say more?

There's still time to submit to #ASECS! Please consider submitting to my roundtable on #18c weaponized misinformation, a topic which is sadly relevant right now.

I'm dying. My ESL students have the AI bug. If I read one more paper about how "language is a bridge between cultures" I'm going to explode.

Yes, we lost three in just over a year. The stress of loss is so hard when it just keeps coming. I'm sorry for your losses.

Yes, it's obvious and aggravating.

That's what I told Kevin when Zalman swiped his head from the back of the chair

You might try a synagogue, they're more aggressively matchmaking

It's so hard, they are all wonderful but few are perfect. I'm so sorry.

For the first time in 25 years I have fewer than 3+ cats. My beloved Isidore died two weeks ago and I have no cute tummy to hug at night or lap sitter. The two left are rambunctious and standoffish. I miss him so much and would love to see cute photos of past pets and hear a story about them.

I stopped using it heavily with the 16th so I don't know about much after. It really seems hard to believe that there's enough for two new editions . . .

It feels so overwhelming when there are so many strands to work on and that are being changed in disturbing ways. I've tried to focus on civics and immigration because that's where my job and people are, but there is so much work to do.

Good Shabbos, avoid doing anything you'll have to repent!

I don't, but now I'll look thank you!
