Right? I could accept "I had no idea this was a Nazi symbol and neither did any of my friends" because most normies only know about swastikas, but the second you learn it's a Nazi symbol the only correct response is "Wow, this is upsetting! I had no idea, gonna get it removed ASAP. I'm so sorry!"

Yup. Can't even use the excuse of money because there are artists who will cover them up for free

Imo one reason parents tend to assume their kids is advanced is that you get really used to your toddler/preschooler's diction and so their speech is often much more comprehensible to you than their peers' speech.

Also, he was very quick to apologize to us if he, even when we were very young, which meant a lot to me

That he wasn't afraid to unselfconsciously love books that were girl-coded when we were growing up. He still isn't. He once bought a women's devotional Bible because he liked the study notes.

Hard to find a more obvious example of the journalism adage “If someone says it’s raining outside and someone else says it isn’t, your job is not to quote them both, your job is to go outside.”

David Corn @davidcorn.bsky.social · 10d

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

(RNS) — Last month, the Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility and spread his arms wide. Adorned in all black and wearing a clerical collar, the pastor looked up at a group of masked, heavily armed ICE agents on the roof and began to pray.

“I invited them to repentance,” Black, a minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA), said in an interview. “I basically offered an altar call. I invited them to come and receive that salvation, and be part of the kingdom that is coming.”

But when Black began to lower his arms a few seconds later, the agents responded to his spiritual plea by firing pepper balls, or chemical agents that cause eye irritation and respiratory distress, video footage shows. One struck Black in the head, exploding into a puff of white pepper smoke and forcing him to his knees. Fellow demonstrators rushed to his aid, and as the pastor rubbed his face in pain, the agents continued to fire.

“We could hear them laughing,” Black said.

We went apple picking this weekend so EG and I made the Mostly Apples cake tonight (minus the nuts, which I skipped in favour of more chopped apple). Pic to come when it's out of the oven.

This is a Snacking Cakes by Yossy Arefeh stan account. It is the cookbook from my collection I use most often, bar none. Always reliable, delicious, easy to make cakes that yield a normal amount of dessert for a small household. My daughter can easily help me make them.

If we want to undermine Israel's attempts to take over Palestinian land and deny them their sovereignty, one of the best and most just ways to do that is to make sure Jews are safe everywhere, around the world.

Christina Moss @christinaemoss.bsky.social · 17d

Obviously Palestinians in Gaza are facing the most immediate threat to their lives and safety and need to be prioritized in this current moment, but we can walk and chew gum at the same time and we've got to here, because antisemitism has such long, deep, deadly roots.

Christina Moss @christinaemoss.bsky.social · 17d

One thing I find incredibly disheartening is the way global antisemitism emboldens Israel's violence against Palestinians and then in turn Israel's violence against Palestinians emboldens global antisemitism. It's this horrible, deadly, vicious cycle.

Once again at the point in my course prep where I'm fascinated by Frankish names all over again and I just need to know whether @amycolleen.bsky.social is aware of the historical Bertrude (or Rotrude, or Plectrude)

Sorry, forgot the alt text on the image, which features the back of my daughter's head and a shelf with a domed night light and pink, purple, and white/blue toy ponies.

In case you're curious their names are Sprinkles, Pinkeye, and Green Eyes
