Damian Lewis makes an absolute meal out of Henry VIII. God level acting IMO. Ooo, new season of Phineas and Ferb is just as joyous and fun as anyone could hope. Ah! The Wallace and Gromit movie on Netflix. 💕💕🧀🧀

I continue to believe that X-Files is one of the more underrated serials of the last 30+ years! Doing a rewatch of all of the MoTW episodes right now.

Wolf Hall on PBS Masterpiece was as good as I’d hoped! Incredible acting, tho Tudor period dramas obviously aren’t for everyone. I don’t like murder mystery as a genre, but Natasha Lyonne is a must-watch and Poker Face is entertaining.

It was so much work even if it was virtually all good stuff (and even the items with which we disagreed offered excellent opportunities to clarify important points in the text).

this is such a good issue I've been slowly tryna make my way through it. I've been thinking a lot about meso-level anti-stigma policy work and the issue has been helpful

It's not much of a defense to the accusation in the meme for a non-Jewish person to say, "Look, here are some Jews who agree with the opinion I already held" where that opinion is a minority minority view. That's just tokenizing IMO. Anyway, thanks so much for the care. I really appreciate it.
comment in response to post
FWIW, I think your approach maximizes epistemic justice and is exactly the sort of praxis I work on WRT oppressions mostly impacting groups to which I do not belong. I mean, if majority Am'n Jewish opinion is X but you think X is bananaspants, it might well be the latter! But also risk of this ...
comment in response to post
The opinions of those Jews that already match the non-Jewish person's priors, even if those views are a significant minority w/in Jewish community (which can both tokenize & suggest a demarcation btw the Good Jews who dissent from majority Jewish opinion & the Bad Jews who represent that view)
comment in response to post
Absolutely. And of course there are intra-communal debates within Jewry regarding whether certain language or ideas intensify Jew hatred. These debates are important but they are fundamentally intra-communal and the epistemic obligation for non-Jews is to avoid tokenizing by only holding up
comment in response to post
The fact that you’re willing to listen rather than simply dismiss Jewish concern as manufactured or inauthentic is everything, so thanks. 🙏 This thread seems relevant: bsky.app/profile/loud... (And FWIW I don’t care who is the mayor of NYC & to the extent I do have no prob at all w/Mamdani).

“'Head in the game' is a must for anyone truly invested in the bigger picture of brain injuries in sport. Sports concussion is more than just a medical concern, but rather a concern that is of an interdisciplinary nature involving social, historical& cultural aspects across all sports at all levels”

Congratulations!! Can’t wait to read.

Agree!
comment in response to post
Sure! There’s merit in seeing the struggles as interconnected. I just don’t think the major reason why ADL has been a disaster is because they’ve ignored the former. And insofar as they have in favor of a focus on Jew hatred as such, I see that as unfortunate but not a grievous sin.
comment in response to post
Non-Jews especially don't really u-stand antisemitism b/c they don't u-stand some of the features that make it distinct (how it antedates constructions of whiteness by thousands of years, that it's actually a conspiracy theory, etc.). It merits distinct focus IMO.
comment in response to post
I don't see the connection btw these 2. The latter is of course the main prob, but I don't really see how that's driven by a resolute focus on Jew hatred qua Jew hatred. And there are some distinct features to antisemitism itself, which makes them no more or less important than any other oppression

Finish your yoga 😂
comment in response to post
FWIW I agree with Professor Rozenshtein. ADL is a disaster, but not b/c they focused overmuch on Jew hatred. Yes, structural oppressions are connected, but I see far too much "all lives mattering" both within and without Jewish circles when it comes to Jew hatred.

As a student my foundational history of medicine course started by pairing Grmek on HIV/AIDS with Waswo’s “The History that Literature Makes.” Was highly effective.

That’s a tough one, I have a whole 15 weeks syllabus lol. I try and situate it within social determinants of health because I teach about racism so I like to start with Yearby on structural racism journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....
