Kurt Vonnegut tells his wife he’s going to buy a single envelope and his explanation sums up the current state of the world.

@miriamjayne A rabbi once told me “40 days” to ancient Israelites was shorthand for “we don’t know how many, but it was a lot.” Sort of like “hrair” in Watership Down. watershipdown.fandom.com/wiki/Lapine

Your last selfie is who you are on the outside and your last meme is who you are on the inside.

Well, as the saying goes: X marks the this place sucks.

Sorry that this has to be said (and vaguely, since it involves a colleague) but the claim that 1st century Jews didn't care for the vulnerable exists primarily in (Christian) academic circles where unfamiliarity with the actual texts that Jews wrote at this time is tolerated 1/3

Is Twitter world just getting that much sh*ttyer? Like even communities I liked. Writer twitter is just flame wars between agents & writers. Covid safe twitter is demonizing anyone who dares meet outdoors without a mask. Jtwitter attacking one another nonstop. Sigh :-/

@EladNehorai (I mean, it’s not irony, it’s a calculated, devious reinterpretation of the story meant to fire up their supporters, but you know what I mean.)

@EladNehorai I can’t get over any of this, but the particular irony of her saying that in front of a *massive* quote from Megillat Esther that’s *literally* about being called to leadership in order to *prevent* genocide is pretty freaking rich.
English
@EladNehorai Yes! The “basic reality” that we HAVE different operating systems (and that they are valid/real) has to precede understanding what those OSs are. And that also takes us down a rabbit hole of the “but G!d said so” rhetorical trump card, and thus we go around and around again…

@jgutoff @EladNehorai Ooh, I don’t know that work, will check it out…

@EladNehorai It’s more painful when the same thing happens inside Judaism - talking past one another because we don’t really share an interpretive process, or historical understanding, or whatnot. And finding shared values (which I know I brought into this) doesn’t cover it.
English
@EladNehorai So we just ended up in this stupid back-and-forth, never really hearing each other. Even though we probably have lots of shared values.
