In THE HOLOCAUST IS OVER, WE MUST RISE FROM ITS ASHES, Avraham Burg describes introducing his French wife to his Holocaust survivor father, who--when he learns that she was born in Strasbourg--angrily turns to his son and says "That's not France, that's Germany! Bismarck got it back for us!"
also a classic instance of how propaganda works. the most embedded stuff is the stuff you are taught when you are a small child as 'geographical facts', in the same way that even anti-CCP PRC citizens can sometimes turn into rabid nationalists about South China Sea rocks

Tonight’s dinner felt extra nourishing because it was a recipe my therapist gave me. A 90’s style tomato farro skillet with chili, veggies and beans. Comfort food. Very like a Moosewood recipe I’ve made since the 90s, Red Gold Green & Black chili, but that has bulgur wheat and less of it.

I miss Luna so much, and never more so than when a piece of zucchini falls from the cutting board to the floor and there’s no scurrying feet as Luna eagerly catches it and eats it. The vet was astonished she ate veggies and thought it was because I’m vegetarian and Luna wanted to be part of that.

I'm really gutted about this. I spent over ten years building my website, it's what launched my writing career. But between AI hijacking all my traffic, literally, traffic from searches is almost 0 now, and my host raising fees to be hundreds of dollars for the year, I just can't anymore.
