National Organization for Marriage’s tactics for opposing gay marraige
staghunt:
“Drive a wedge between gays and blacks” by convincing them to fight over the language of “civil rights.”
Bait Latino voters to oppose marriage equality as “a symbol of resistance to inappropriate assimilation.”
Interrupt the “attempt to equate…sexual orientation with race” so...

“Hey, Rachel, do you want to drive to Foxboro with me and go to Dunkin’...”

Hashtag real life problems.
So there’s a smoke detector in the back stairwell of my house beeping because the battery needs to be replaced and I called my landlord about it because I am too short to reach it without a chair or stepladder but using one in a narrow, twisted staircase makes me really nervous.
First of all, the first guy didn’t pick up so I had to call the second guy who’s like ~a whole 30...

King James II Overthrown By Daughter and...
perezhamilton:
Well that was rude!!!
King James II’s protestant son-in-law, Wiliam III, invaded England and kicked the King to the curb. He and his wife Mary, AKA the King’s daughter, are going to be the King and Queen.
Baby swapping, throne over-throwings and family backstabbing?!?
Things haven’t been this interesting in years!

Today was one of those days when I seriously love life. Finding a great new apartment in a neighborhood that I thought I couldn’t afford that’s actually cheaper than the scuzzy apartments in my current neighborhood, going to the zoo, giggling over cute British boy bands with my mother, trying and loving new cuisines (Ethiopian!) and even more fabulous dessert (one of the top three...

There’s totally a high to pushing yourself to do something and actually doing it. I know this is not an original concept, but I confirmed it today.

Not only are you wrong because our culture, our society, is culpable, and we are all obligated to change it or we essentially become bystanders,
but, also, really? You really want to make this tragedy in to an attack on the President? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!

Okay but actually my job IS wonderful.
My boss just told me that I might be asked to take a leading role next year in a new program we’re starting that involves students discussing the intersection of Judaism and ethics.
I actually beamed at him. SO COOL.

Sometimes my job is wonderful
Me, in email to student building worker: Hey, just wanted to make sure that you're coming to clear the tables out of the social hall before the dance class, thanks!
Student: Um, yeah, I totally already talked about it with your boss and I'm going to act offended that you felt the need to check in on me like I'm not responsible.
Me: Oh my gosh, so sorry, I didn't mean to imply that! I didn't get to go over the building schedule with him today, so I just wanted to check, thanks so much!
Student: ~five minutes before dance class, nowhere to be seen, tables and chairs still in the social hall~
Me: ...

I'm going to Israel (basically for free) in...
I got into Pardes. And my job, as much as “the man” of the Jewish world it is, certainly has its perks. I got a fellowship that will get me $500 each from both my local job and the parent organization for a stipend toward living costs, PLUS free tuition. My grandparents already told me they’d buy my plane tickets so…
Ahhhhhhh.
I’m going to Pardes. I’m going to...

Remember that time when someone was like, “Blah blah blah not violently resisting Nazis meant that people would be insensitive to suffering and less likely to fight against genocide in the future blah blah blah”? And I was like, “STFU, living is resisting”?
Check this shit:
“Many, many types of resistance occurred. From Simone Wallace, Ellen Ledley, and Paula Tobin:

What does Fluke’s boyfriend’s religious/ethnic background have to with anything? This article mentions the word “Jewish” 16 times, yet there is literallyno reason to mention it even once.
The author is obviously a raging anti-Semite (and a communism-obsessed conspiracy nut) but lol this user comment was perfect:
given: a woman’s boyfriend is Jewish.
thus: birth control...

The situation in Syria is absolutely terrible, violent state repression. This is indisputable. However, I think that it is irresponsible to assign the word genocide to events that do not seemingly constitute genocide, especially on politically-based blogs. Available documentation suggests that what is going on in Syria is not currently classifiably as genocide. It is a violent...

Resource for non-Jewish folk: The Matriarchs
thecakesokay:
The Matriarchs (Sarah, Rivka, Leah, and Rachel) are very, very complex people in the Torah. At least they are to me. Remember that song everyone was making fun of a while ago that had that line, “One big room, full of bad bitches”? That’s how I feel about the Matriarchs. They were intense women.
I am not going to give you an exact rundown of each of their stories as I did with the...

Crying about Peyton :(( →
And then, worrying about where he will end up. I CANNOT support a Redskins Peyton. I’m kind of obligated to hate the Dolphins because of Bill Parcells. So, I guess, the Chiefs are the only team I don’t feel negatively about.
This is all terrible my childhood is crumbling around me.

Abraham Butterworth Sent to Prison For Misbehaving
perezhamilton:
No wonder he’s a criminal!! With a name like AbraHAM BUTTERworth, he must have some SERIOUS scars from being bullied.
AbraHAM BUTTERworth of Rhode Island was recently arrested for “Misbehavior in and towards his family.” He was, however, released after he slept with the jury and promised to be good.
He was probably misbehaving because he was so pissed at his family for...
