I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

the wildest thing is right-wingers acting like minnesotans in videos must be outside agitators when we can all hear their accents. i don't think i could do that accent convincingly if i spent a year practicing. and neither would i wish to. have you heard that shit? craziest american accent

Right on cue. This is looking like it's going to be the American Reichtag.
And there it is. All your fault, Minnesota, that there will be no midterm elections....

can’t help but notice how the word tzitzis (ציצית, fringes on the prayer shawl) is basically the same as the yiddish word tsitses (ציצעס, titties) and this has to have led to some bawdy bits of yiddish filth

What can history teach us about what happens when a populist strongman with an idiosyncratic taste for low interest rates undermines central bank independence?

Wow. This is some pretty next level twisting of the law. I hope the courts can slow this down.

In broader community, there is a lot of holding my breath / feeling crazy, and limiting my time there. Judgement and hostility.
I'm grateful Seattle has a strong #CC community, which keeps me sane. But it's not big enough I can replace a housemate spot quickly, or find anything for my sequins NYE.

This is why I love yiddish culture tbh
yiddish children’s stories are dark man we just read one for class that was like ‘daddy couldn’t find a job so he became a jewish department store santa where he passed out from hunger and all the goyishe kids told their friends about seeing santa faint. in conclusion, capitalism is a scam,’

Happy to see that the @forward.com has an article out today about the digitial klezmer manuscript project I worked on as a volunteer in 2020-21.😁many fond memories of poking around looking at high-resolution chickenscratch scores of klezmer magnum opuses dating to the 1890s in some cases
How hundreds of forgotten klezmer tunes have been rescued from oblivion
Thanks to a mammoth klezmer digitization project, we can hear Jewish music that hasn't been played for generations.
