When I was a kid, Cyber Monday wasn’t corrupted by all this crass, capitalist, commercial nonsense. It was an opportunity to practice the true spirit of giving, sharing, and generosity by taking out your robe and wizard hat and casting Level 12 Chicken of the Infinite.

In my quest to make my house as queer & geeky as possible, I put this mezuzah on my office door, made by @tkay.bsky.social, inscribed in Vulcan calligraphy with the IDIC—“Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combination”—the cornerstone of Vulcan philosophy. And the klaf was scribed by a queer woman.

On today, Trans Day of Screaming, there is a dispute as to whether you have fulfilled your obligation to listen to a trans person’s screaming if you merely hear the echo of their scream.

I am proud to hang this piece in my house. And I am incredibly tickled that the One Giant Frog has become a symbol of righteousness and justice here in Portland. Power to the Frog! Justice, justice shall you pursue!

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness)

As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)
