This is a thread about why I’m in a chevra kadisha, or more specifically, why I do taharah – the act of ritually preparing a dead person for burial. Sometimes people act as if it means I’m a particularly good or giving person, but I don’t see it that way. 1/6

I am not prepared for another Blue Sky World Series marathon.

Agreed. I will be thinking about this film for some time.

I watched the first few episodes of East of Eden and I’m beginning to think that Steinbeck guy wasn’t a lot of fun to hang out with.

Spent some time this morning putting together packs of menstrual supplies for folks who are struggling to afford basic needs.

I suppose it’s a good thing we were barricaded in our home today by heavy equipment because we had planned to go get our flu shots today and now I have a fever of 101F

Alt text included. My apologies for missing it on the original post but I was a mess reading it.

Sad to see @ms.now is making all the women anchors act as advertising billboards to shill their sweaters today while all the men get to keep their dignity and wear their business suits as usual.

Luckily he hasn't got to be up early tomorrow morning.

Hey California! Be careful this election because the big money creeps are trying to trick you (again).

If you need 100-3,000 whistles you can get them for free.

This is the funniest thing I've seen today, possibly ever

NEW: A new USPS policy will eliminate evening mail pickups from select post offices across the country — a change that will eventually slow pick-up and delivery times for around 70% of zip codes in the U.S. We mapped those zip codes to help you figure out whether your mail ballot could be affected👇

One of my favorite stories from the Talmud.

It’s not the most important part of this story but there is a Reel with film of Smith at the Iowa game in question. www.instagram.com/reel/Dd4epJb...

Jews, please remember: It’s not that you don’t have to fast if it may harm your health, it’s that you’re not *allowed* to fast if it may harm your health. Please take care of yourself, and may you have a meaningful Yom Kippur.

This medicine took way too long to become available to cat lovers. I'm glad these folks don't have to go through the black market any more to get something with a 90% chance of curing an otherwise fatal disease.

many states, including California, also have an option to drop your ballot off directly at a elections office dropbox or election center and avoid USPS on the way back all together, which I'd recommend if possible.

A reminder that you can watch bears being bears for free m.youtube.com/watch?v=J7Zr...

Hey #Jewsky it's not too late to sign up for #10Q - one question for each day of the the High Holy Days. I've been doing it every year since 2011 so it's part of my annual practice of reflecting on the past year, plus it's fascinating to see what's changed over the years. I highly recommend it.

Big sinkhole in Malibu. Huge waves in Long Beach. California is seeing the effects of the storms in the Pacific, and it's only going to get worse when the El Nino winter storms approach.

Bookstores are great but some are terrible at marketing. I just got an email from a bookstore promoting their "brand new" location in my city and inviting me to come to their Labor Day book sale, but I looked through the email twice and nowhere does it mention the address of their store. Sigh.

IMPORTANT

invite me to your markets... please!!

To be clear, the "bike lane" here is between the white lines and the curb. Which I suppose might be okay for Flat Stanley but is clearly inadequate for three-dimensional humans.

I agree 100%

Huge loss to this planet. May her memory be a blessing.

"The Emperor is a fan of Flock, and we must continue utilizing Flock technologies so that we can follow and surveil the rebel scum as they move from playground to playground... They are following children in parks and gymnasiums, and we need this. I need this so I can stalk my ex-girlfriend."

Hi! I'm looking to speak to anyone who is finding ways to resist/work around mandatory AI usage policies at work. Mostly games industry-related, but happy to speak to anyone adjacent as well! Published quotes can of course be anon if desired. DM me here or email at luke@aftermath.site, thanks!

jews don’t believe in the talmud, we believe in *arguing about* the talmud

I still can’t get over him saying, “I won’t dictate to anybody…” immediately followed by, “It needs to be” this and that. He appears to be blind to his obvious need to control everyone around him.

Hey Platner staff, she told you not to come over. Try to take "no" for an answer for once.
