"it's so fucking over" yeah dude it's 11pm it's the end of the day it's time for you to go to bed. and tomorrow you'll be so fucking back because you'll be awake. go tuck yourself in dude you'll be ok

Idk I just feel like the liberal / leftist stance of “don’t be a dick about people’s disabilities” should extend universally. Like it would be cool if we could extend that to people with lifelong speech impediments. We could even extend it to politicians who have lifelong speech impediments. Or, and hear me out, because this is crazy. We could try not being dicks about the lifelong speech impediment that the President of the United States of America has. That doesn’t seem like too much to ask does it

The days leading into the HHDs are the worst for me. It's always the time of year I never feel "Jewish Enough." I have been wrestling with this thought all day and thought I might come here and remind you, kind reader:

You are Jewish Enough just as you are.

reminder that disinformation is bad even when it furthers your narrative. if an organization is bad, you don't have to make up lies about it being bad. it's already bad literally just utilize the facts that are available to you

i use the terms alas and i fear far too much i fear. but alas

Watching the whole Israeli Miku thing go down made me think of this, I cant believe this needs to be said
