It’s terrifying the way the Overton window has shifted on antisemitism. Everyone is out here arguing over WHEN it’s ok to shoot people in a synagogue or Jewish Museum, not WHETHER. Y’all are on such high alert against bad-faith MAGA “anti-antisemitism” that you’re willing to accept more & more.

"If his goal was to undermine academic freedom and defund lifesaving research, Trump’s plan is a smashing success. But when it comes to protecting Jewish students like us, it’s an abject failure," write a coalition of students on campuses targeted by the Trump administration in a letter.

If there's a place where everyone knows your name, they all just shouted "NORM!" I saw him as Edna Turnblad in Hairspray on Broadway and he was amazing. variety.com/2025/tv/obit...

Because I am a benevolent grocery shopper, I get things for my family that I personally can’t stand to eat. So I bought them a pint of banana pudding ice cream, which was tonight’s dessert for Monster and Husband Shaped Creature. I sensibly had earl grey tea ice cream because bananas are yech.

Do we maybe, just maybe, get an actually Jewish Superman? Or at the very least, a creative team that understands that Superman isn't a Jesus allegory?

And in further news that the universe delights in giving us precisely the children that we deserve, the following words just came out of my mouth: “I know for an absolute fact that pretending the assignment doesn’t exist is not going to make it go away.” #ADHDParenting #NeurodiverseParenting

It never fails. Almost any time I order a beer when I’m out with my husband, the server will place it on the table in front of him. I’m sitting here dressed in a plaid over shirt, jeans & a cadet style cap. But my husband clearly needs the beer.

“Tonight, I've seen a man with no legs stay standing, Dad, and a guy with no voice keep shouting.” That show romanticizes the hell out of politics, bipartisanship and too much. But today I can’t forget these words.

So because we’re going away for Passover and we generally go on retreat with my synagogue for Shavuot, it just occurred to me that the next major menu plan I need to do is Worldcon in Seattle.

Once again, @maryrobinettekowal.com has me crying because of a Seder in space. I love SFF, but the idea of the future being post-religion means that I don’t often get to see myself in stories. Dr. Elma York and I don’t have much in common, but she still represents me in a way few characters do.

FYI, it’s stories like this that explain why so many Jews don’t and can’t trust the “safety through solidarity” mantra. We know that for us, it’s not an offer of outreach to unite, it’s a threat to exclude. For those who promote that slogan, this is on you to fix. They’re not going to listen to us.

Me: I have been tired all day, why? Also me: you got your MMR booster yesterday, you absolute spanner.

For the second year in a row, Monster’s Purim costume is made up of clothes she already owns along with some purchased accessories. Last year we managed to recreate October Daye from the cover of Sleep No More with a green dress and hand me down fake leather jacket. All I had to buy were the ears.

So based on all the information out there about people exactly my age, I went to my doctor to have titers drawn to see if I have sufficient immunity to measles or do I need another booster, considering our current hellscape.

I’m having titers drawn tomorrow. Will get booster or not based on results.

If you aren’t angry there’s a good chance you were angry about any of a large number of things and couldn’t sustain it because intense emotions can only be sustained so long. That’s part of the plan. Take a break when you need it; this is the long haul.

It’s worth noting that Amazon makes a significant chunk of change off of server hosting, which as a consumer you will never see directly, but still feed into. Maybe also give yourself a mental health day from the internet as well (as much as you’re able, ymmv).

So, I'm doing A Thing to prove a point. The In Death series is Hugo Eligible. Nominate the fuck out of a trad romance author to watch the gatekeepers squirm.
