New prompt: Jewsky, debate my marital history

(Fun fact about me: in the eyes of the Conservative Movement I've been intermarried once; the Reform Movement can't agree on whether I've been intermarried once or twice.)

I'm withholding argument until I have a chance to read this, but I'm sure I will have Many Opinions once I do

if there’s anything I would want to drill into the public consciousness it’s that there are almost always like a dozen ways to approach any given problem and some of them will be more effective than others and we have to stop acting like the questions around it are against fixing the issue

I will reiterate: Christians in the West evangelize in public for the same reason men catcall. Neither is trying to persuade you; both are reminding you that the public sphere belongs to them and you exist in it at their sufferance.

I have been rereading Pride and Prejudice to follow along with the amazing @trungles.com thread and my favorite thing about the Elizabeth/Darcy romance is that it’s not a case of “I can fix him” but more “if he’s worth it, he’ll fix himself”

This is a good reminder that some "voluntary" departures people sign while detained by ICE are the product of coercion. The worst incidents I've heard of over the years involve agents grabbing a person's hands and forcing them to sign a piece of paper they can't read; it's a "voluntary" removal.

You are so right. I'm adding "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" for the same reason.

I’m sorry but I’m seeing a lot of Islamophobia and I don’t think it’s okay.

So let's ignore for a moment the nonsense of the source, and talk about why this isn't actually an issue: The overwhelming majority of people are politically disengaged. They think of politics as a thing that happens once every four years, at best. They think good things should happen to good /

Seems bad that this existed in the first place. www.fodors.com/world/europe...

The Prime Minister of the Jewish state is committing war crimes. To say that holding him accountable for that is in some way a personal attack on American Jewish identity says deeply troubling things about American Jewish identity. If that makes me less safe, he should stop doing war crimes.
