The finger gun thing may be making a comeback as an acceptable greeting - my son is ready (turn on sound).

It wasn't ok.

[Ingrid Koehler @ingridk]

I'm in the UK. I've decided to take a sleeping pill, cause I'll just doomscroll all night otherwise. I just hope everything is ok when I wake up. C'mon America.

@saladshooter9 Following for this.

@_shalomdebbie_ Maybe she's smiling because the deal she cut with him means she can divorce him after this election.

@Bonn1eGreer Stormy Daniels asked if he had any children?? OMG, I love that woman more and more. I hope you get to meet her, she is whip smart and funny.

@estherzelda0514 LOL

If I can see it coming. If Trump loses, the election commentariat is going to blame Trump's mistakes in the last week. You know who won't get credit they deserve? Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, Liz Cheney, and tens of millions of women who will be responsible for defeating Trump.

@VeryBadLlama One of my grandmothers didn't have paid employment. I don't remember her ever talking fondly about being home with the kids (the kids yes, her time, no). She did talk about the costumes and art she made. Her community gallery. She talked about the jobs she had before marriage.

[Ingrid Koehler @ingridk]

@VeryBadLlama Only one of my great-grandmothers was always a 'stay-at-home' person. But that's because home was work. They were farmers. Her whole day was spent working, so they could survive.

@itsdeaann Congrats! Put that on your bio.

[Ingrid Koehler @ingridk]

I voted for Kamala Harris. If you're eligible, I hope you will, too.

@NevermoreElyse @RachelMoiselle Arabic is a semitic language as is Aramaic and Hebrew. They're related. However, Arabic in whatever form wasn't spoken by large populations in that area until post Muslim conquest.

[Ingrid Koehler @ingridk]

@RachelMoiselle Schama clueless about this? The same guy who wrote pages and pages on the Cairo Geniza and multiple volumes on Jewish history. I think Schama knows a thing or two about the revival of Hebrew and how it never went out of use in some contexts.

@devdav01 @pdnell I don't judge them on standards I don't hold. But I think there are reasonable grounds for various heter if they sought one on some Shabbat issues (security, work for national leader). I do judge them for being trash human beings.

[Ingrid Koehler @ingridk]

@devdav01 @pdnell And just to clarify, I converted Reform - and by chance I had an all female Beit Din. Israeli rabbinate would reject me out-of-hand, but that's ok, I didn't do it for them.

@grenwuld @ldkop LIES! I love candy corn.

[Ingrid Koehler @ingridk]

@jonathanmmeola @ldkop I was sooo confused and avoided macarons for years.

[Ingrid Koehler @ingridk]

@pdnell @devdav01 I actually mentioned them in my conversion application! I said I wanted to embrace Judaism to help me be a better person, but that it was clearly not a guarantee of success... to wit: Javanka.
