SOMEONE got drunk on catnip during the Zoom Purim party last night, ran around like a maniac, howled like a beast, gave his sister a completely incompetent bath, & finished out the night sprawled on the counter eating out of the compost bin.

My little Garbage Prince. Image
Like fully just face-down in the compost bin
Me: I can’t be bothered to wear a costume or get drunk on Zoom, I’ll just celebrate Purim with a nice cup of tea

My cat: *staggers in high off his ass, a sock over his head* YOOOOO WHERE MY HAVASHTERCAIS AT????
Me: how are you feeling today, bud?

Max: MAX REGRETSH NUSSING Image

I've been thinking a lot, in the wake of the Luke Crane thing, about the harm the lack of any real process for both making amends and for reintegrating someone who's fucked up back into the community is doing.
Like, to be clear, I don't *personally* give a shit if any shitty white man in games fucks off into the sunset and we never see or hear from him again.
However, I also recognize that that's my emotions talking, and not my understanding of how communities work. Because a lot of those shitty white men haven't been shitty to *everyone,* and may have given people who aren't shitty white men opportunities.

It's actually worse than Eric lays out here, because Luke Crane didn't just give his capital to an abuser, he gave the capital of *all the authors he tricked into publishing with Koebel.*

And when those authors pulled out, he *continued* to coercively coopt them to his cause.
Most of the authors who pulled out have been very clear that they did so because they didn't want to give cover to Adam Koebel or be part of his preemptive rehabilitation.
Luke Crane then claimed that they'd pulled out not because they had ethical objections to the project (the actual reason most of them stated) but because people (presumably those who don't agree with his decision to publish Koebel) had harassed them into quitting.

It's weird how both Christians who want to ignore Jesus's Jewishness and Christians who want to "reclaim" Jesus's Jewishness both end up being supercessionist as hell.
Like, traditionally Christians have defined Christianity over against Judaism, which means that they've treated Judaism as the problem Jesus came to solve, and assumed that whatever he did or said, Jews must have been doing and saying the opposite.
So in that formulation, Judaism is the problem, Christianity is the solution, and Christianity thus replaces Judaism.

I was thinking the other night, while watching Person of Interest, a show I love dearly, about our apparent inability to imagine truly benevolent, all-powerful AI, just as we seem unable to imagine true utopias.
Like, POI almost gets there. It has the Machine (figured, interestingly, as feminine), but spends a lot of time positioning the Machine as morally ambiguous. The Machine's inherent goodness and compassion only are codified when she's largely defeated by the evil AI Samaritan.
Samaritan is positioned as evil largely because it wants to eliminate the show's protagonists, as it eliminates anyone deemed disruptive to society.

For the first 3 1/2 seasons, of course, the protagonists have been eliminating people THEIR AI deems harmful.

seeing men say "I have only daughters so my name dies with me" is like

I dunno, if it matters to you, maybe change cultural norms around women taking their husbands' names when they marry
like I dunno, I kind of think couples should come up with a new last name when they get married
or we could have the norm be hyphenating last names on marriage, and when kids reach 18 they formally and legally pick which last name (which parents', or a hyphenated name) to use as their legal name

people: heya so the bible has some really nasty stuff in it

Christians: it is a product of its time, you cannot judge it by modern standards

people: okay cool then let's stop treating the outdated parts, like the anti-gay stuff, as canon

Christians: IT IS TIMELESS TRUTH
Jews: it's 2021, we know Jesus exists, maybe stop evangelizing us

Christians: THE NEW TESTAMENT IS TIMELESS TRUTH, FOREVER APPLICABLE

Jews: "in Jesus there is neither Jew nor Gentile" doesn't sound so great after Auschwitz

Christians: YOU CANNOT JUDGE IT BY MODERN STANDARDS
like, pick one

either this text is a product of its place and time and authors and context, and that means that maybe we admit some parts of it belong in the past

or it's perfect, eternal and timeless, in which case it's answerable to our ethics as well as those of its origin
