You are a secret romantic.

They should auction off chunks of it too. Like the Berlin Wall. But the money goes to fixing this shit.

Does this person get a choice or do you just roll up with a black canvas bag lightly seasoned with chloroform and a trunk full of Mountain Dew zero and Funions?

Every night I have the strangest, wildest nightmares when I sleep at all. I grabbed my husband’s hand the other night and whispered “I’m scared” but he was sleeping and didn’t hear me.

Here is a corrected version of it. It should have any and all typos taken care of - but feel free to point out any! I want this to be squared away before I make any prints! Thanks, #JewSky for your enthusiasm!

A spelling-corrected version of my previous illustration: Hebrew calligraphy in dark green stretches in lines across the image. Negative space makes room for a simple representation of an inflatable frog costume with a blue bandana. That shape consists of the English translation of the Hebrew, in a lighter green, and in much smaller text.

Famously, the Egyptian tyrant causes Egypt to be overrun with frogs because he refuses to free the Hebrew people, but there are additional details that make this a fun one to ponder. For one, the Hebrew says "the frog came up" - ONE frog - even though the rest of the time it says "frogs." So there are a few explanations rabbis have come up with to explain this. One is that a single frog multiplied to create swarms. A more creative explanation is that there was a singular giant frog who traveled and brought destruction. Jewish social media was sharing videos of the Portland Frog protester with the caption, "One Big Frog! One Big Frog!" Of course the frog protesters did multiply, and many were seen in crowds all over the world on "No Kings" Day. This calligraphic work takes the verses addressing the frog plague and combines them to form a simple rendering of the Portland Frog protester. The frog figure itself is made up of the English translations of the Hebrew around it. At the bottom left my signature is in the shape of a lily pad.

I want to follow up to drop the gem that her husband has pneumonia right now and has called out of work for over a week because of it. 👀 I restrained myself to saying that is terrible and I hope he’s better soon.

So tattooing a Nazi symbol where it is hidden by most clothing isn’t proof that he is a Nazi? But old Reddit posts where he composed his thoughts for an intended audience are proof that he isn’t a Nazi? Please have your spine checked because you tied yourself in a knot.

A percentage of his paycheck is funded by SNAP contracts from various states. His salary is quite generous so we don’t need SNAP to eat, but if they can’t pay his company… well. That’s not good. And we are far from the only ones.

My husband works for a company with many of the state level SNAP phone systems. He’s worked there for over a decade. When SNAP is delayed by a day or two, it can cause problems for a system with triple failover capacity. However they were forced to switch to cloud servers on AWS this year.

One of my best friends had weight loss surgery and is on SNAP. The other has multiple food allergies (gluten, dairy, soy and more) and is on SNAP and WIC, but only gets a minimal amount of WIC. Friend one has stockpiled protein supplements but friend two is already out of gf chicken nuggets for kids

Same but I would like to add that Brussels sprouts today were genetically bred to remove sulfur in addition to being roasted or fried from fresh rather than boiled from canned and come ON those are barely the same food.

I work afternoons and early evenings so it’s already getting dark on my way home. I strongly prefer we stop doing this nonsense at all. But if we are going to do it, it should be approximately half the time and not… this.

Local game store and local comic book shop could be split custody easy but the good BBQ place? Idfk man I might have to reconsider friend divorce over that.

Women in Portland reported miscarrying after sufficient quantities of expired tear gas were dropped outside of their homes and apartments.

Pretty sure “it’s not you, it’s me” would work for a friend. Although, we could make friend divorce a thing? Like settlement of common property (aka shared locations and friends) through an arbitration agreement? Weekends and holidays one get the library, weekdays the other one does etc.
