@skjask "Feminism is the radical notion that women are human beings."

@skjask And every single one of these men should, at a bare minimum, driven out of public life forever. Yes, Bill Clinton. Yes, Bill Gates. Yes, the whole crew: Steven Pinker, Noam Chomsky, Alan Dershowitz, Alex Acosta, Donald Trump, the whole entire list.

You can't pretend to care about Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking of girls decades ago when you don't care about the rape & mutilation of Iranian women happening right now. "No women's bodies are turning up, or very few. And that's because, according to eyewitness accounts, they are being raped, their uteruses removed, their scalps ripped off along with their hair and their bodies covered in cigarette burns. The Islamic Republic 'uses rape as a weapon against its people'. The focus on the fact that Epstein was born a Jew belies motivation and unmasks the antisemite.

@IlanBlock @DBashIdeas @zschrieber I left. Dovid summoned me back.

@Doc_RPS @DBashIdeas @zschrieber Oh hey, I thought you left

Moshe Benovitz is the Lorne Michaels of Jewish Education.

@DBashIdeas @zschrieber My friend, you forget that I grew up yeshivish and without a TV. I know who these people are, but have no idea what characteristics might make the comparisons apposite.

@zschrieber @Doc_RPS

I am not saying this is fair. I am saying it's important and I'm gonna try to do it, and I invite you to do the same

friendly reminder that the best case scenario over the coming years is that a lot of people say "I supported Trump but this isn't what I wanted at all" and when they do that it's gonna be really, really important that we say "welcome in," not "fuck you, we told you so"

@ParkerNation25 @Leezard3 I think as a history teacher I am required to maintain public professional neutrality between U.S. and European history. If you ask me privately what I think, I might have opinions.

@Leezard3 @Doc_RPS Colonies are dope. 100 years war was dumb and doesn’t matter

I remember learning about the Hundred Years’ War between France and England in high school and being so perplexed how a war could last that long. Meanwhile I now understand it

@Leezard3 @ParkerNation25 Slander. Vile slander. I did no such thing. (Anyway, they haven't let me teach APUSH in almost ten years 😭😭😭so no one else is subject to teaching predilections.)

@ParkerNation25 It’s because we spent over half the semester learning about the colonies @Doc_RPS (Yes yes I know 100 years war was APE not APUSH just reupping the bit about the colonies)

@ADelMonte123 Bsky, silently.

This week was SAR High School Color War. For those of you who've been following for a while, you know that I usually tweet exclusively about that for a few days every December. In fact, SAR High School Color War is why I got on Twitter in the first place.

@DGamulka Already thinking about next year, when my grade will be black team. :-D

@DGamulka Last year, my grade was red team, so I ran around in a Price jersey. This year, my grade is blue team, and since I don't own and am not buying the ugly baby blue reverse retro from a couple of years ago, I ran around in this. (Looks black in the photo, but I promise it's navy.)

@IlanBlock @18_forty @SruliFruchter ROFL. Geography Bee, last year. That banana is in yeshiva in Israel now.

@Doc_RPS @18_forty @SruliFruchter before you go, let's not forget your contribution to my portfolio

@18_forty @SruliFruchter If I ever get around to publishing my own stuff regularly in other venues, I'll come back and let you all know. /fin

@18_forty Thank you to @SruliFruchter for your thoughtful and sensitive editing, back when I was deliberating over publishing this. And thank you to @18_forty for first launching it into the world.
