@shekinahcancook Wait I thought the festival organizers were upset about being viewed as taking a position on the war? Sorry but if you're requiring a banner calling for a ceasefire you're … wait for it … taking a position on the war.

@sickmatter @elilla So I'd write something people in my discipline know that people outside it don't, but to be honest the majority of people don't know my discipline (web accessibility) even exists.

@hauntedhideaway Wait they actually went with this? With a straight face? Do people actually believe that this was why? I wouldn't be shocked if someone actually says that donating to Hatzalah is supporting the actions of the Israeli government at this point, but I guess I just wanted to make sure.

Oh my God what the fuck is wrong with people?

@dukepaaron @TonyStark If you haven't read this already it's worth your time. I happened on it yesterday morning.

@serge I don't know why anyone is encouraging them to say brachot when lighting as, at minimum, they are not commanded to light. And that's aside from the fact that the hanukiah has 8 and not 7 branches.

I hope you all enjoy the concert, and yes I'm angry tha t you have t o go through a ton of security to do so.

@serge Yeah same.

@serge It's one thing to make a statement to the effect that ethnostates in general don't guarantee safety, and yet another to encourage everyone across the board to give up the idea of ethnostates/nationalism. I didn't take the article as doing either of these things though, just telling the Jews to give up ethnostate/nationalism.

@emilyk I think this article is right about how everything going on right now is some sort of psychological release for young white leftists, and wrong about everything else. Especially the age-old trope about how if the Jews would just give up everything that makes them unique, and just become voluntary rootless cosmopolitans everything will be OK and we can totally trust the people who have spent the last two months taking out their guilt issues on the Jews to not shit on the Jews once we do what they want. That right there is some nervy antisemitism.

@ipstenu Wait how does barbecue fit into OMG and WTF? I'm confused.

Not gonna lie. If you use emojis in your marketing material, I hate you. Mostly because it's blindingly obvious that the people doing this don't actually use them in real life like the youngs do and it shows and it's so cringe.

This is me. All the time these days. Siri is almost useless at this point, especially for making phone calls and opening apps.

Jesus. Hostile motherfuckers.

@bruce_toews I'm with Matt on this. UEB drives me crazy in a lot of aesthetic and braille display cell wasting ways, and also UEB pretends that complex math just isn't a thing that braille readers need or even, dare I say it, may want to do.

Welcome to Babka and the fediverse.

Personally I've chosen to read Israeli/Jewish media instead of switching to consuming Conservative media in the US. There's too much other bullshit to have to weed out when consuming most Conservative media.
