Saw the mallard’s blue feathers and seriously thought, “Ooh, an iPhone!” Dang.
Super fascinating find:

@1a this guy can’t be serious. He’s preaching Christian supersecessionism and that’s a GOP message through and through. Sickening.

@BirchatHedyot @moontwerk Thank you so, so much. Reading this was like a balm to my heart. Gemar chatimah tovah, as well.

[alanailana @alanailanas]

@moontwerk Admit what he did and why he did it. But I know he won’t. And he’ll hurt our daughter the same way. It’s agony. I don’t want Yom Kippur to feel this way.

[alanailana @alanailanas]

@moontwerk I’m also in the thick of this, it’s the second Yom Kippur with no modicum of notice. The hate I feel for this person becomes all consuming at times. If they made an apology now, I know it wouldn’t be genuine. He isn’t genuine. I fell in love with a persona. And I need him to …

@RabbiHarvey “Apparently”. Apparently!!

@Quiara I can relate, you worded this so well that it was a eureka moment for me. I try to remind myself that taking a break is a right, and allowed for as long and as often as needed. Things will get better, and I’m available if you need a listening ear.

You don’t need to understand why people mistreat you. You don’t need to unpack their motives. You don’t need to centre their narrative. You just need to know that their behaviour is unacceptable and separate yourself from such harm. Centre your safety.

@Quiara When I was a kid we got VHS from a Christian family organization that never had overt religious messages but were incredijj by my wholesome. Do I regret watching The Buttercream Gang? Maybe?

[alanailana @alanailanas]

@RabbiHarvey Uhhhh, what? I’ve got elementary Sunday School knowledge and New Testament trivia and this is some HORSE HOCKEY.

[alanailana @alanailanas]

@RutiRegan But for girls the skeletons *must* have hearts and bows! 🙃 Same for ghosts. Bats. Monsters. It’s all quite weird.

@HoneyBeeRock Mashallah ! You are GLOWING

There is a curious phenomenon that results from the relatively brief window of time a single human lifetime provides: we perceive the current state of the natural world as “normal”.

This is known as the Shifting Baseline Syndrome. 🧵

@HoneyBeeRock He will, he’ll just keep it warm when the baby’s not in there 😆

@Apayauq1 Not wrong, try “less accessorized”. Jewelry can totally become part of your identity, I relate. But you look like you, because you are you. There’s radiance and strength in this photo, all within you.

@evenbev @JJintheUS @lilsun83 @WHEC_JLewke @RochesterNYPD @MonroeAmbNY I’d definitely call $500,000 winning. What is it called, walrusing? Sea lioning? when someone corrects an utterance that’s a complete non sequitur & shifts attention from the original point to themselves? #ACAB #nursesneedaraise #emtsneedaraise

[alanailana @alanailanas]

@HoneyBeeRock I hate this for you. Did your OB give you ample resources for living with this? I don’t have any to share, but I will gladly do some research for you.

Okay, okay, So I thought #StrangerThings was the *actual* end of the series and I was livid when the credits came on, the credits were going so fast I was convinced for a season 5 teaser or something but NoOooOO WTAFF how do they top this? #longliveeddiemunson #madmaxcantdie
