This past Saturday was Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, dedicated to self-reflection and atonement for the harms—both individual and collective—done over the past year. It may has also have been the single year in which Jews, as a collective, have done the most gruesome harm across all our thousands of years of history. This is bitterly painful to reckon with, but now is the time we must reckon with the things that are the hardest.
Shel's post dives into this pain by imagining how Jews will be seen after the war is concluded, once the die has been cast and the world must sit with the outcome. None of the hypotheticals are rosey, because the Jews inescapably have blood on our hands. But it's also worth taking this as a reminder that the future is not yet set in stone, and that we may still work to see the best future that's possible from the imperfect now. We may still perform actions we will be proud of, and our children will be proud of, in the years and centuries down the line.
Next year, in a free Jerusalem.

From the nature of breakfast burritos, breakfast burgers, and so we can deduce that to breakfast a food item is to add egg to it. This in turn implies that fried chicken is "breakfast chicken", ramen is "breakfast noodle soup", and sponge cake is a "breakfast cookie".

Cliff's written a viciously funny piece of satirical erotic fiction sending up the discourse around the place of sexuality at pride. It's funny and it's hot and you should for sure check it out if that's your jam. I think if more entries in internet arguments were in the form of erotic fiction rather than angry microposts the world would be a much better place.

I really appreciate tulip's articulation of their approach to makeup as an art rather than an attempt to meet impossible beauty standards. I'm always compelled by ways to consciously produce art in places that aren't generally thought of as sites for art, and tulip has a particularly interesting perspective coming to makeup from a painting background. I haven't worn anything beyond lipstick and the occasional eyeliner in years, but this has inspired me to consider breaking out the eyeshadow palette again...
