Anyone else in the middle of DS9??!? #StarTrek
Teaching my gentile husband that the frustration that comes from trying to light a full menorah with fragile generic candles is all part of the Jewish Experience.
"This is worse than building Ikea furniture."
Happy eighth night and Happy Winter Solstice.
Gender affirming care bans are against my religion π³οΈββ§οΈπ€¬π #ReligiousLibertyIsntJustForBigots #ProtectTransKids

Our country could use more fighters for the American dream, for what is good, right, and just in this world, like @avindman.bsky.social & Rabbi @ravbogard.bsky.social.
What an honor spending the evening with them & friends from across the District. #Missouri #MO02

I'm still looking for (the right) lawyer to help me challenge gender affirming care bans in court under religious liberty claims. Is that you, or do you know the right person? DMs are open #ProtectTransKids
@theradr.bsky.social I was going to send out the EOY appeal for scholarship funding for Camp Indigo Point today but Iβm caught up trying to line up care for my daughter before the rules go into effect. Can you spare another shout out? π

Welcome to the Ferengi Alliance of America #hu-man
Everywhere I go I'm seeing people who look like slightly modified versions of folks I know. I'm thinking the computers running our simulation need a RAM upgrade π€·
A simple proposal: every email should cost $1 to send, paid to the recipient.
The reality of antisemitic zionists and anti-zionist non-antisemites has totally broken the Jewish community's ability to tackle the metastasizing of antisemitism in American society.
I think the comedian David Cross hit the nail on the head when he said years ago βAnd I'm not comparing Trump voters to Nazis. Okay? No, I'm not. I'm comparing Trump voters to the German people who voted for the Nazi Party.β
We must protect each other to survive
When I say that I've learned a lot about the Holocaust by living as the parent of a trans kid in the 2020s, I don't mean that I think Republicans are Nazis. No. What I've learned is that Nazis were just the Republicans of their era, and of their system. #ProtectTransKids
DM me and I'm happy to send you the. Skill file. 100% vibe coded π€·
>>Bogard emphasized that the βJews for a Shared Futureβ letter is not an endorsement of any candidate. βThis is not a Mamdani endorsement letter,β he said. βAnyone trying to make it that is reading it wrong.β<<

If you're Jewish, particularly a New York Jew, and this letter moves you, I invite you to sign. Clergy from anywhere are especially welcome. jewsforasharedfuture.org
Thanks for getting the word out about our letter!
Glad to see my rabbi signed onto the OTHER letter, the one defending Mamdani and insisting that "In a climate of rising division, we must stay focused on what truly keeps us safe: working across differences to protect the rights and improve the lives of EVERYONE."

Thanks for letting folks know about our letter.... grateful it hit the right chord for you!
My friend, and someone who has stepped up in amazing ways to create safer communities across faiths, and especially for trans kids: βJewish safety cannot be built on Muslim vulnerability.β
Amen.
