@steve_karras Loved this piece. I had my own horrifying interaction with its subject—BEFORE 10/7. Then, a couple years later, encountered the profile just as you described it—& had the same reactions you had. Thought you might be interested in hearing about my experience. If so, DM me.

@MayoIsSpicyy Lifelong outspoken pro-choice advocate. Now following you.

[Rick Brody @rickbrody]

@FrankWiedemer Yes, this decision will simply reinforce more starkly what we've been long experiencing: we live in 2 Americas.

@JerryJjjjjjjjjj @truahrabbis And... secular law shouldn't infringe on a Jewish mandate to abort at the times when one exists, since there ARE such times. Reproductive freedom IS religious freedom: infringing on the former jeopardizes the latter & as a relig minority we should vehemently oppose such efforts.

[Rick Brody @rickbrody]

@JerryJjjjjjjjjj @truahrabbis ie, There IS a value of reproductive freedom. No, not the same as asserting that centuries of Jewish sources equate with a pro-choice policy stance for secular law in America. But pro-choice = more consistent--affirms the same idea of repro freedom based on one's own conscience.

[T'ruah: The Rabbinic Call for Human Rights @truahrabbis]

Reproductive freedom is a Jewish value.

@autumnhwoods How quaint and fitting. So, they said the quiet part out loud about what era they wish us to be living in? 🙄😡

[Rick Brody @rickbrody]

@AlexandraErin @SCOTUSblog Yes, I'm weeping for them. Maybe a Go Fund Me to come to their aid?! 🙄🤣

@KEOSOLL @ClaytonRWalker @PatOnWheel "This cheeseburger-in-her-name tweeter is sucking a beverage in her profile pic & using an adverb incorrectly in her bio."

*Just literally describing things I see with my eyes & make sense of with my brain!*

(Very bizarre subthread based on a tweet that contributed...what? 🤷‍♂️)

[Rick Brody @rickbrody]

@PatOnWheel I know exactly what these contestants experienced. Was on "5th Grader" back in '08. Cruised to $175K, hit a question I thought I knew but was a little thrown off; couldn't regain my composure under the pressure. Should've dropped out but committed to answering, "lost" $150K. ☹️

@csmcgrl23 @suncrush01 @PatOnWheel You're getting a little too focused on cap being a narrow, specialized item. Yes, some head gear *today* is more likely to be called a cap. Historically, they were more synonymous, with cap being more of the default word for what today is more commonly referred to as a hat.

@JohnsonCubed @JasperJanssen @DaWorldIsOnFire @csmcgrl23 @PatOnWheel Water? Cockroaches? Oxygen? Shoes? Beards?

No--not fairly/realistically considered household items.

Sink, insect repellent, carbon monoxide alarm, shoe rack, razor. Those would fairly be described as household items.

Chex Mix might spend time in my house, but no. "Food item"
