Men, listen to how often you reflexively question information a woman, any woman, women you love and respect, gives to you. I promise, once you notice it, you'll see it everywhere

That someone carried out an arson attack against Mississippi's largest synagogue is both heartbreaking and outrageous. American Jews deserve what every American deserves: to not fear in or for our sacred spaces.
Predawn fire reduces parts of Mississippi's largest synagogue to charred ruins - Mississippi Today
A fire heavily damaged Jackson’s only synagogue before dawn Saturday – the same house of worship that was firebombed by the Ku Klux Klan in 1967 because the rabbi had been an advocate for civil rights...

Looks like the #Oakland feed that I've been following for a while has disappeared. Anyone have a good lead on a new one, preferably more focused on the town rather than the whole bay?

As someone with claustrophobia, this is my f*cking nightmare. And why I try and avoid taking BART to the city.

Based on the posts I'm seeing, so many of you watched the convicted felon's speech. Why did you do this to yourselves? I'd rather get a med-free root canal than listen to his rantings -- wouldn't you?

Simplisafe really needs to add 24 hour mute functionality for sensors to their mobile app. And some sort of intelligence that alerts users to low batteries only during daylight hours (NOT at 11pm when I'm nearly asleep.) sigh.

In an already awful year, 11 Jewish souls were massacred today in Sydney on the first night of Hanukkah. May their memories be blessings to their loved ones and inspiration to the greater Jewish community. Between this and the human swastika created by high schoolers this week, we're hurting.

I had three separate flights cancelled and a maintenance delay out of MDW and ORD yesterday. Finally landed at SFO at 5am today. And I thought Chicago could handle some weather. Ugh.
Update: Travel disruptions continued across the country on Sunday, with over 1,600 flight delays and nearly 500 cancellations.
Travel chaos continues as storm blankets parts of Midwest with a foot of snow

Just poured boiling water over my hand while draining pasta. It did not feel awesome. Here's hoping everyone else's night is less painful.

Got my first "I don't think you're grieving the right way" comment recently. While it seemed to come from a place of caring (and some irritation), it really threw me.
Protip: no matter your intention, NEVER say this to a grieving person. Until you go through the same experience, you have NO right.

Is anyone tracking baseball teams that have the fewest number of players spitting or chewing their cud? Do players still gnaw on tobacco or is it just seeds/bad habits? Either way, such a gross habit. Get these guys therapy for their oral fixation already!

Ditto. And when I couldn't give money, I gave them my time. YMMV, but most food banks need volunteers to help sort, bag, and distribute food! If you have a free morning or day, consider volunteering (and see if your employer is willing to let your team do it during working hours).
You know what we donate to the local food pantries? We donate MONEY. Because they can turn that money into what those they serve need the most. I do not know what those folks need better than the food pantry does. So I give them my dollars and they turn them into something useful.
Sweet Jesus, do not donate seeds to your food bank in October. Honestly, don’t donate seeds to your food bank unless you are specifically asked to, and even then I would think REALLY HARD about whether that’s regionally appropriate.
When I needed food donations, I was in student housing.

Just made a prime rib for the first time ever and nailed it. Today was the first day I've felt close to normal since my mom was rx'd with metastatic cancer in May and died in August. Used her cutting board and utensils, and the roast she'd bought & frozen. Assuming that's why it tasted fantastic. 💔

So tonight kicks off the Jewish new year and high holidays, goyim are claiming that there's a rapture in the next couple days, and we're having a series of little earthquakes in the bay area. Oy vey. This Jew is tired and done with this year.

Well, I guess it's that time of the year again. Time to get these cut up and juiced. 🌱
