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.

One of the most constant rituals in my life since I became an adult has been lighting candles to separate time. Friday nights to separate שבת from the rest of the week, the night a holiday begins to separate it from the rest of the year. I started with 2, and added a third when Monster was born.

Things I would like to do today: crawl back into bed and wake up on 10/6/23 with the ability to call every IDF installation on the border and say “pay attention, this will happen tomorrow.” Things I will do today: errands, cooking, paid work.

קול בעולם נשמע כולנו מבכים על תינוקינו A voice in the world is heard We are all crying for our babies

מֶלֶךְ אֶבְיוֹן: בָּלֶה וְרָד שַׁחַת. בִּשְׁאוֹל וּבְתַחַת. בְּלֵאוּת בְּלִי נַחַת. עַד מָתַי יִמְלֹךְ: מֶלֶךְ אֶבְיוֹן: דָּוֶה כַדֶּבֶר. דּוֹבֵר וְעוֹבֵר. דּוֹמֶה לְעִוֵּר. עַד מָתַי יִמְלֹךְ: מֶלֶךְ אֶבְיוֹן: וְחָפֵץ בְּרֶשַׁע. וְעוֹשֶׂה רֶשַׁע. וּמוּכָן לְפֶשַׁע. עַד מָתַי יִמְלֹךְ: 1/4

I am so angry. I am so angry at Hamas for lighting fire to our world. I am so angry at the world for not putting out the flames. I am so angry at the flames for spreading in every direction. Yet, no amount of anger will erase all that has been burned.

Israel is a second home to me. I lived here. It’s a deep part of my Jewish identity. I’m the grandkid of survivors. That’s why seeing a photo of Elon Musk displayed on the walls of the Knesset - weeks after his Nazi salute and comments to AfD on “moving beyond” the Holocaust - is truly gutting.

I pray the news is more torture for Yarden and the rest of the family and not the truth. I pray that monsters have not held the bodies of babies as leverage and this family will be reunited in life. But I do not hope. I have no hope left.

You know the singular down side to having switched to lined rubber soled clogs for house shoes? It’s that I’m now heading to Tacoma in them. Because it felt almost like wearing actual shoes or boots.

My grandfather passed away this morning. I cannot be at the funeral, there is no airplane that could get me or any of my siblings there in time. I’m knitting and watching old episodes of #GBBO.

Me: “I don’t like gin, I don’t like tonic, but I do enjoy a gin and tonic.” Also me: “this gin and tonic is mostly gin and I also like it.” Maybe I like gin after all? Now someone has to get me kosher dry vermouth that doesn’t suck so I can try a gin martini.

Palestinians deserve a state with freedom, prosperity, and safety alongside their Israeli neighbors who deserve the same. Their future is intertwined together. The president and prime minister who suggest otherwise are harming everyone involved and denying a future full of justice and security.

I would desperately like to be off of this plane that has been on the ground for close to an hour but we are being good for the folks who have connections.

Friends like this we don’t need.

I literally cannot ensure that I and my family are fed, let alone anything else, without access to these medications.

Another tough news day for #autistic people, with the confirmation hearing for RFK Jr. In addition to anti-vaxx, he’s attacking both SSRIs & #ADHD medication. He wants to cut millions of Americans off our medications bc he, a man with no medical training, doesn’t believe ADHD & depression are real.

No my friend, you are not any more entitled to spoilers than anyone else.

I wrote a thing. You should read it. I think this thing that I wrote is important.

I’ll be sporadic in my replies, but today is a lovely sparkly day for a delightful meme. This is a pleasing meme. I will talk about nice things and I’d love to hear about yours. 1 like = 1 thing I love.

The mods on random Reddit subs with names like “Centuryhomes” are being more robust about antisemitism than the ADL.
