Had a convo with my cousin a few days ago about how relieved we are that our grandfather is dead and won’t witness the antisemitism currently happening. Like. Cool and normal times.

a lot of the lgbtq+ spaces I used to frequent and orgs I used to support have been posting antisemitic content and hamas apologia. it’s starting to hit me that I’m queer and I’m not going to have a community for pride because I’m not a good enough Jew. I don’t know how to mourn that.

You know, I am so interested in that reality show, but I don’t really want to start all the way back at the beginning.

"you shouldn't be antisemetic because you're legitimising Israel when you do" no you shouldn't be antisemetic because it hurts Jews who deserve to not be hurt, like any other human being. you should care about not being antisemetic because it hurts people, and that should be enough for you. why isn't it enough for you?

someone should give me $500 so I can experience Bebe Neuwirth playing Fraulein Schneider from extremely close up.

Every single week Jews gay marry the Shabbat bride and I think that’s beautiful.

Holocaust stories, both true and fictional, are not allegories for some other conflict or atrocity. They are about the Holocaust. Full stop.

my grandfather died yesterday. he was 94, a long life well lived.
two years ago at Kol Nidre, in those few hours at the beginning of Yom Kippur when you're not hungry, I had a thought not about god but about the earth and the universe. the universe seems cold and indifferent, and the earth is dying at our hand. they are not sentient, but they hold the remains of every single person who has come before us. so how can they be indifferent, really? the people we love go back to the earth, so the earth loves us back. maybe, a little. or at least it remembers us. however it is that the earth or the universe remembers anything.
omnia mutantur, nihil interit. everything changes, nothing perishes. every memory a blessing to us all.
