Just as no one other than anti-Semites are saying that Talmudic law is taking over America, the same is true regarding Sharia.
Just as no one other than anti-Semites are saying that Talmudic law is taking over America, the same is true regarding Sharia.
Regarding the disgusting canard about Muslims trying to impose sharia law: the βbasisβ is the recognition of sharia courtsβ rulings as legally binding arbitrations.
This is no different than the legal recognition of a Beis Dinβs Halakhic rulings.
No one is being compelled to follow sharia law.
I'm also confused about whether there is any real purpose left in putting a Β©οΈme on every page that doesn't have creative commons stuff. Last edited, which template I used, written if I know it, are all more useful to me and I'd think they cover it. I doubt I'll ever have any contributors so...π§΅
Not sure if it's watching this genAI nonsense or lack of sleep that's making me want to set my terms page as "what isn't written by me is mostly creative commons, if you're here to learn cool, if you're hear to steal you're not reading this but for the record Mr. Rogers is disappointed in you"π§΅
Work on my site continues at a decent pace, I will need to come back fresher to figure out which bits of css from the header I failed to use for the footer causing it to look different. Found out about the accessibility issues that explain why to use li for breadcrumbs. 1/
The reason I want students to have to struggle with difficult texts is because I want them to have the capacity to make meaning in and of the world on their own.
Oh, and look, here's that class action suit! That anyone with half a brain would have seen coming! From, like, a million miles away!
Just because you work in tech doesn't mean you're smart.
The whole point of defending the right for uncomfortable, or even reprehensible fiction to have the right to exist isnt that its all cool and nothing is ever wrong with it
Its that government/corpo organizations will NEVER look at things with the """nuance""" you think is so self evident
I don't think grammarly should just get to do "sorry deleting now" after ventriloquizing living and dead people without their consent to make money

Choose to be a protester or observer, OR a volunteer who delivers meals/food or provides transportation to school kids.
Mixing the two puts our immigrant communities at risk because ICE & DHS sometimes follow people.

Omg what???
Hating men is not decentering them. Cutting men out of your life is not decentering them. Having quality friendships across genders and appreciating the beauty of others as works of art instead of consumable objects on display for sale is decentering them.
One more.

βAll you really need to know for the moment is that the Universe is a lot more complicated than you might think, even if you start from a position of thinking itβs pretty damn complicated in the first place.β
Contrary to what "move fast & break things" tech bros would have you believe, "it's easier to ask forgiveness than permission" is not a legal defense. If our court system has any shred of decency left they'll toss extra damages on for anyone suing these ...types to discourage the next round the same

Facebook post by Nekima Levy Armstrong: "Friends, A Breaking News headline just appeared in the Star Tribune, claiming that the national Target boycott ended today. This is false. The writer of the story, Carson Hartzog, is fully aware that the Target boycott was launched in Minneapolis on February 1, 2025. I have spoken to her several times since then, yet she failed to reach out to me, Jaylani Hussein, or Monique Cullars Doty, the three founders of the national Target boycott for the story. Carson even used the photo from our press conference that includes my daughter, Assata Joy and Ms. Rosemary Nevils, an elder in our community, to try to add legitimacy to a bogus story. I am once again disgusted by the Star Tribune and their attempts to minimize and erase the voices of our community. The nationwide Target Boycott is not over, unless and until Target reverses its decision to rollback Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, as we said from the beginning. βPastorβ Jamal Bryant does not speak for us or our community and has zero authority to end the nationwide boycott of Target, a company that is headquartered in Minneapolis. Please donβt believe the hype and these attempts to rescue Target from the effects of capitulating to the Trump Administration. Target rolled back DEI because of Donald Trump. They donated $1 million to the Trump/Vance inauguration committee. Target also allowed ICE to stage in its parking lots during Operation Metro Surge. The nationwide boycott of Target is successful and it will continue. Please continue to shop elsewhere."
Nekima on the Target boycott.
There is something so utterly magical about stop motion (and about T.rex, obviously).
I am so grateful to artists like Lucas for keeping the medium alive in the digital era.
Illustrated icons representing celebrating, St. Patrick's Day, and different types of transportation surround big bold words reading Safe Ride Home all on a green background.
PBOT and the City of Portland wants to get everyone home safely from their St. Patrick's Day celebrations. That's why PBOT is offering discounts on taxi, Lyft, and Uber rides as part of itsβ―Safe Ride Homeβ―program.

Isolating & masking would reduce the spread even if it turns out to be a different respiratory virus

I've yet to see a way to do this out of vague notions of creating friction (none of which stops someone using their phone to take a picture of the screen) that doesn't create huge accessibility issues. If nothing else a lot of people use highlighting as an accessibility tool.

Got a unique challenge. I'd love input from people who are familiar with the plant life of Puerto Rico & the horticulture trade.
I've been volunteering with a park group, adding more native plants in specific areas of the park.
We're about to refurb planters, which are concrete & get hot as hell.
