I know this community very well. The Shenandoah club the Temple Israel statement refers to as providing food and shelter during this attack is the club established by Iraqi Chaldeans. This is really beautiful interfaith solidarity in action.
West Bloomfield isn’t even in the same county as Detroit.
It’s further from Detroit than Waukesha is from Milwaukee.
I’m so glad none of my friends or family members from the area were hurt.
West Bloomfield is not Detroit; it’s a wealthy suburb (exurb, even) of Detroit. It’s as far from Detroit as Schaumburg is from Chicago.
And it is also exactly the place you would target if you hated Jews in Southeast Michigan. A colloquial term for West Bloomfield is “West Jewfield”
@oelayat Mufti Naomi Wolf has consulted the sacred texts (Google Al Overview) and issued her fatwa quote tweeting Dr. Naomi Wolf @naomirwolf I asked Al, "Can you wear a crop top for Iftar?" As Rama Duwaji is doing: Al Overview It is generally advised not to wear a crop top for Iftar. Ramadan is a time for modesty and respect, requiring covered shoulders and knees. Crop tops, which expose the midriff, are considered too revealing for traditional, public, or family Iftar gatherings. Opt for modest, loose, or flowing, comfortable clothing. It is super rude by the way, in observant Muslim norms, for the hostess to reveal her midriff at an Iftar celebration in the presence of men who are not her husband and in the presence of Mahmoud Khalil's wife, who is veiled as is far more religiously customary.
still losing it at “Mufti Naomi Wolf has consulted the sacred texts (Google Al Overview) and issued her fatwa”

I spent 45 minutes trying and failing to convince a full bird Colonel with multiple Afghanistan and Iraq deployments that Afghanistan is not an Arabic speaking country. I was helped in this discussion (to no avail) by two Afghan interpreters who were more polite than I was.

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

Sometimes beat myself up for not seeing my parents more often but I try to keep in mind that the drive would be comparable to going from Cambridge to Paris
As good as it’s going to be for awhile
It’s on my list! I’m slowly working my way through Wide Sargasso Sea (even though it’s so short I keep getting distracted by work and shiny objects)
if you've ever read or watched pride and prejudice and thought to yourself "this would be better if the workers rose up and tried to fucking murder the bosses", have I got just the book for you
I read North and South last fall and it fucking destroyed me 10/10 will never read again

The funniest outcome is that we develop a godlike super intelligent AI and it has debilitating anxiety and OCD
