Hey @thegridkid one eats pomegranate ARILS, not seeds. I have been ranting about this with my wife for several minutes and now it’s escalated to online ranting. On this hellsite! But it’s ARILS and I must be pedantic about it. #nytimes #puzzles @NYTGames

I am grateful that my Oma & Opa were among the 10% of surviving German Jews, that my Bubbie was among the 7% surviving Lithuanian Jews, and my Zaidie was among the 10% surviving Polish Jews. #holocaustremembranceday #yomhashoah Graphic via Uri L’Tzedek

I don't have a problem with DiAngelo simply bc I accept that white people just don't want to listen to anyone but fellow whites, so cheers to Robin for being that lady, but also if I may, some books that are just as accessible & deserve as much hype from whites & nonwhites alike:

I’m on a romance kick lately (mostly Emily Henry). What’s something similar but sapphic?

@KyleLukoff I hate this. We were so lucky to partner with some other area schools to host him for an author visit last year and he was unsurprisingly SO FANTASIC! Great speaker, had kids super engaged, and love his books, too. Ugh.

@spooloflies This is an incredibly important distinction- I would push even further than exceptionalizing Jews as victims endangers not only us, but other marginalized groups as well.

only murders in the bb26 house-especially heinous
People tried to say that acknowledging other victims was Holocaust erasure. I want to be crystal clear that refusing to recognize the full spectrum of Nazi persecution is dangerous, and exceptionalizing Jews as victims can endanger us.

Not to drag this mishegas into a second day, but "The Holocaust only refers to the Jews who were murdered by Nazis" is a form of Holocaust denial. The Shoah is specifically the Nazi attempt to exterminate the Jewish people. The Holocaust is many groups' persecution.
