people say kids are easily amused but I think it's way more true for adults. I could go toe to toe with any child on appreciating the simple delight of a shiny rock or a colorful picture book, but I defy any six year old to fully savor the sublime joy of getting a new dryer that doesn't even need an external vent

posted on shelraphen.com How will we be remembered? — The Jewish People After the War
How will we be remembered? As the Jewish people, what will history remember of our actions today? What will be the narrative they tell about us? We were victims of the holocaust, and then enacted a genocide ourselves. We have truly gone astray.
Ultimately, the war in Gaza cannot last forever. The situation in Israel and Palestine cannot last forever as it is. Someday, it will end. The question is, how? When it's all over, what will become of the Jewish people? How will be remembered?
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".

A pickup truck with the Delta airlines logo on the side, bedecked with rainbows and topped with an inflatable Delta plane. Several men are visible in the truck bed grinning and looking off to the side.
“Smile,” Tom reminded me. “You’re going to be famous.”
I looked up and saw people holding up their phones, filming us. “No…” I gasped. “…not on social media! We’ll be taken out of context!”
“The context, darling, is that everyone on 4chan and Twitter is going to know that you’re my little bitch boy.”
“It’s X now,” I grunted, and this time when he pounded into me so hard it felt like I couldn’t breathe, I deserved it.
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.
