You know I complain a lot about how bad Philly street etiquette is but a man just straight up chivalrously apologized to me for not jaywalking in front of a car so that I could also jaywalk in front of the car and it was weirdly heartwarming

Apparently Louis Ginzberg -- midcentury Rabbinics giant -- consulted on the cringiest mistranslation of Hebrew in modern literature. I like this read -- Ginzberg's accent -- to explain how we got the weird spelling. No clue how they could have failed so badly on translation, though?

Does anyone have a recipe for shortbread cookies that taste exactly how Walkers shortbread used to taste 20 years ago? I get so nostalgic for it this time of year because my mom used to always buy me a box of the fingers for Hanukkah. But they are just not the same anymore

(You might notice I upgraded the adult gloves and socks. I've been afraid to include pricier items like this bc I just didn't know if we could do it. But last year, I was handing out the bundles on a freezing day & realized the thinner items Simply Weren't Enough. So here we go! I believe in us!)

This is our 4th annual drive and I honestly can't believe how generous people have been. We have handed out 1000s of donated hats, gloves, mittens, warm socks, children's wear, blankets… I am so excited to do it again!

A rep not only answered the phone, but figured out they had another size he could wear that wasn't included in the website inventory and added it for me. Just so kind and knowledgeable and generous with their time. Thank you @nytransitmuseum store!!!

The Titanic is a great analogy: a ship that they proclaimed was unsinkable and then because of that they didn't bring lifeboats for anyone except the exceptionally wealthy so a lot of poor people took the brunt of what happened. Anyway.

Penny posted this and I promptly stole it. I warned her in advance! But it's so perfect for ME that she can't have it all to herself.
