It's Holocaust Remembrance Day. I'm asking you to remember that the Shoah wasn't an isolated moment, but a horrible escalation of an ongoing system of expulsions, pogroms, exploitation, and mass murders that begins with is ongoing today.

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

Notes from a disturbing moment at “Cabaret” on Broadway last night, as Adam Lambert had to force the audience to confront its apparent disrespect around antisemitism…this production of the show left me in a dark place. Grateful Adam forced others to sit in that head space. #NeverForget #TheaterSKY

Uhm... I have to learn to play League of Legends (for reasons) and I am not getting the appeal? It's like all the parts of MMOs that I hate with all the parts I like shunted off to other media?

Opinions are a dime a dozen. That’s why I like data and research. And there are some glaring data and research issues with this article. 1/N🧵 www.nytimes.com/2025/01/04/u...

Got fancy under-eye puffiness/dark circle reducing thingamabobs for Hanukkah and decided to give them a go today. Really pissed that they work. I'm absolutely never going to pay actual $ for these, so now I have to spend the rest of my life knowing it's my own damn fault I look tired all the time.

If you've enjoyed Cryptmaster, please consider sharing the news. Despite an IGF award, a 95% Steam rating and a free demo, the game has gone mostly unnoticed by both press and players. It's not just a typing game and there may still be people out there who would enjoy it!

I've now left my third activist network because members got obsessed with Vatnik bullshit and all real work ground to a halt. We are not, as a species, smart enough to survive the technologies we've built.

So. I hear you got a giftcard and you don't know what to do with it. My rabbit and I have a suggestion. You could preorder WE LIVED ON THE HORIZON. It'll help keep Mochi in treats and bows. Bonus: It's pretty good and about many of the things you're worried about. tinyurl.com/456y7s33

JFC. If Trump appoints Dershowitz as the antisemitism czar (two words that should never go together in that way), it's more proof that his administration is hideously corrupt but it says nothing about the Jewish people. I guaran-damn-tee you we are more unhappy about this than any gentile.

It's emblematic of this time that an author writing about the Shoah, descendant of the author of one of it's legal justifications, uses her platform to literally spread blood libel. I'm grateful to Emily Kaplan for researched response, and not surprised @rebeccamakkai.bsky.social hasn't responded.

Do you have a Steam account? They are currently selling a game in which the player reenacts the horrors of Oct. 7th. Join me in filing a ticket insisting this game be removed. store.steampowered.com/app/1714420/...

Currently making alligator gumbo because we are having company for dinner and I'm not a great cook, so I have to make things people don't eat often so I can say, "It's supposed to taste like that."

Announcing new projects is one of my favorite things to do. Forest Avenue, my press, just acquired PURGATOIRE, a novel, by @lizprato.bsky.social. It's historical fiction, with some magic--my favorite blend of genres!--and it's set in Colorado. Publication spring 2026. #writingcommunity

Tante Sarah's Reminder of the Day: doing something which makes a concrete (if small) difference is the best defense against despair. Some cheap(ish) things you could do today: donate period products to a DV or homeless shelter donate pull-top cans of tuna or chicken to a food pantry *eat the rich

Tante Sarah's Reminder of the Day: going to a meeting to talk about ways to resist the worst of what's to come? Leave ALL your smart devices (phone, watch, etc) at home. It's not enough to just turn them off. If you need directions to the meeting, map it out ahead of time and write them down.

Nate Silver has tweeted about pardons three times in his life. Twice today to say he won’t vote for any Democrat who doesn’t denounce Biden’s pardon of Hunter and once in 2017…to say it’s completely normal for presidents, and Trump specifically, to abuse pardon power.

Hey new followers, just a reminder that I'm a Jew and a liberal Zionist who wants peace, security, and self-determination for all peoples in the region. If that's a deal-breaker, unfollow at your leisure. #AmYisraelChai

Tante Sarah's Reminder of the Day: not all conflict have a good side and a bad side. Sometimes good people clash. Sometimes villains do the same. Which is to say, there is no hero to cheer for in Syria; only different evils at war with one another. Keep this in mind before you offer your hot take.

Tante Sarah's Reminder of the Day: if you're driving through Southern states today, but dont often, it's important to know that in many of them it's perfectly legal to pass on the right. Always check ALL your mirrors before switching lanes.
