One more thing, Linda.

Just so you know, “members of my family are Jewish so I can’t be antisemitic” is not that different from “some of my best friends are Black”.

This and some of the other notes people have taken it upon themselves to give me in response to my comment really say it all about the state of antisemitism in the West. People just can’t imagine that they could have an antisemitic bone in their body! I know you’re all good leftists/liberals/whatevers, but that…

Well shit, if Linda hasn’t seen any comments about his “religion”, then I guess antisemitism just ain’t a thing and I’m a whiny crazy paranoid Jew!

Right? I mean, I’m not surprised he would have rather his daughter end up with a paragon of white masculinity like Tom Brady rather than, well, an icky Jew, but I have to admit I would have hoped the writer would at least allude to the antisemitism. Then again, it’s rare anyone but us notices or cares, so.

If this was a bar, it would be one thing. But for table service? It’s insane and obviously racist.

A tab is common at a bar; usually they ask for ID and a credit card, and you can order on that tab all night until you’re ready to leave, at which point you pay.

Biz a hundert tsvantsik, keyneynahora. We need all the help we can get, I’m stocking up on hamsas tbh.

I loathe Kushner, but I am also kind of getting an “ew, she picked that wimpy Jewboy” vibe from from this- both the quote and the coverage. So I’m not feeling great about it.

My worst message is a tie between the Saudi guy who asked me, no opener, if Jewish women all shave our pussies, and the guy who asked to borrow $200 because he had to make rent.

Obviously there are exceptions (my parents got engaged after dating for six months, and my grandparents on their first date), but studies show that marriages that begin after less than three years of dating have a higher chance of ending in divorce.

Imagine Pesach at that house. *shudders*

I think we all know (or at least, I hope we all know) that the people perpetrating these horrors on their children do not believe they’re being malicious. Nevertheless, there is a line at which we stop the cultural relativism, and it is at female genital mutilation. For the love of god, if not here, where?

Oh, absolutely! I just don’t like too high a heel as I don’t want to be much taller than I already am. But I had something like these about ten years ago and loved them:

Ndegeocello keeps the gender-specific nouns of the original song in place, so that she sings things like, “You need a man with sensitivity, a man like me...”

I’m not in Hollywood or whatever so I guess I can get away with it more (especially since although I work in corporate law I’m not actually a lawyer), but I refuse to wear any “heels” that aren’t 3-inch (max!) wedges. Like, I just won’t do it. I have difficult feet as it is (high arches, high insteps, really wide at…

It’s interesting; there’s an awful lot of pissing and moaning about “censorship” and concern trolling about “erasing the past” in these comments, but literally all the ALA did was remove Ingalls Wilder’s name from a prize. They’re not advocating taking her books out of circulation or telling people not to read them.…

Oh, I’m sorry, were we supposed to roll over for whatever the US demanded?

She was already known to be an antisemite and to associate with Neo-Nazis.

She was already known to be an antisemite and to associate with Neo-Nazis, so why the fuck wasn’t she cancelled already? Why wasn’t that enough?
