С добрым утром

That closing. 💋🤌

On International Women's Day, always remember the greatest lesson of Russian history:

The Russian Empire was ruled for most of the 18th c. by women & became a pre-eminent world power in science, art & geopolitics.

It was ruled for all of the 19th c. by men & ended in misery, famine & revolution.

10/10 take. no notes

US foreign policy is very scattershot, and it is hard to draw lines through its data points that come out straight enough to look credibly like consistent, long-term goals.

For reasons I cannot fathom, one of the few solid throughlines over 35 years seems to be: "Bleed the Kurdish nation to death."

A lot of people think “surely nobody wants to fuck someone they think is subhuman,” and these people need to be taught about the concept of heterosexual men.

Historically? Put a woman in charge.

I have my criticisms of NATO allies, and of NATO itself, but for all the White House's bitching about how much they cost to defend, I can't remember the last time the Netherlands or Iceland blew up $90 million of US equipment.

One of the few poems I can recite from memory (by Georgia Douglas Johnson)

Gutted.

Есть ли среди русских бабушек те, кто хотел бы удочерить внучку гей из диаспоры, с которой не общаются в семье?

My fiancée used to do Harley Quinn cosplay. When we were first dating, I expressed some dismay at our frequent separations, and she made me this adorable bunny to be her proxy when we were apart.

I have a story that has waited so long for this!

Me, trying laab for the first time at lunch today

somewhere George Boole is crying, although Art Garfunkel is probably okay

I appreciate a press that understands how much I need tongues in all kinds of places.

Bold of you to assume lesbianism isn't my religion.

James 2:19 has to be one of the most metal lines in all of world scripture.

Мне бы пригодилась такая по дороге на работу.

What is the cutest word in the Russian language and why is it падалица?

I love a good ghazal, and I especially love an innovative use of the form, and this, in @blackbirdjournal.bsky.social, is *fabulous*:

I am so very pleased to be part of the tenth issue of @aothenmagazine.bsky.social! If you haven't already, please do check out all the wonderful work assembled there (including mine, obviously).

The article even starts, "In the early ’90s, a group of scholars and artists from Indigenous communities . . . fostered the ethno-futurist movement."

THE DREAM OF THE 90s IS ALIVE IN PORTLAND!!!

I’m thinking @rozalijagrace.com was maybe onto something with the idea of doing Torah-based video responses to Christian rock lyrics.

R. Zekharya traces the origin of the Aaronic priesthood authority to Melchizedek through Abraham (Nedarim 32b). The Or ha-Hayyim does the same in his commentary on Bereishit, but regards it as an intentional transmission. Either way, there does seem to be a transfer of spiritual authority.

You're right; it is contrarian. I think my point was just to suggest that dependences on LXX variants are certainly curious and worthy of question, but not, in my view, prima facie discrediting or embarrassing. The textual history of that specific verse I'd need to know better to contest the reading

Fair. I think there's grounds for regarding a miraculously sanctioned translation as holding equivalent exigetic weight to the original, but obviously that depends on the veracity of the miracle.
