Was annoyed that winter is cookie season when fall is the most wonderful time of the year and ended up in an experimental cookie fugue.
I don't know if any of them will actually be good. I was trying to get flavors that feel like autumn, rather than just flavors we associate with autumn (e.g. pumpkin spice, although I do have some pumpkin-Chinese-Five-Spice shortbread dough in the fridge).
There are juniper shortbread cookies with a lemon gin glaze, chocolate rosemary cookies with pine nut nougatine, some maple palmier-type things.
There are also some cookies that turned out more like nut brittle than cookies--lapsang souchong tea and brown sugar and candied walnuts with a bourbon glaze.
Oh, and some things based on a Brazilian cornstarch cookie recipe except they're made with acorn starch. I think I'm going to dip the caps in dark chocolate.
I've got ground roasted chestnuts and chestnut jam, so I think I'm going to make like a Russian tea cake-style cookie with the ground chestnuts but fill it with the chestnut jam.
anyway I was going to wax my floors because I am old and boring but I did this instead
Going to take them to dinner tomorrow night and inflict them on friends, but I think just so I'm not a horrible person, I will also make a normal cake

It's kind of exhausting that people keep bringing up the mere existence of non-white, non-Western Christianity in response to the assertion that antisemitism is core to Christianity.

Like, I'm not sure why you'd think they're immune when the New Testament is in their canon.
It really seems like another manifestation of the idea--dear even to a lot of people who aren't Christian--that "true" Christianity is purely innocent & good & benevolent.

(In this variant, "true" Christianity is apparently the Christianity of non-white, non-Western people.)
Like, no, when I say that antisemitism has been core to Christianity since it broke off from Judaism, when I say that antisemitism is core to its canon texts, I'm talking about Christianity full stop, not just whichever form is convenient for you to No True Scotsman about.

This is a crucial question. I've seen individual Christians do a TON of work and manage to come up with individual practice that isn't antisemitic, but it's hard, because antisemitism is core to pretty much every form of Christianity. (Thread)
Like, okay, I'm not going to spend time rehashing 2000 years of open Christian antisemitism--Passion Plays, blood libel, Good Friday pogroms, forced conversions, genocide, etc.--because it's been done elsewhere.
When I say, though, that it's in every form of Christianity, across the political spectrum, I mean it.

Like, Jews keep having infinite replays of this conversation:

I wish more people who didn’t have kids (like me!) took a moment to research the cost of raising them before proudly declaring that a single mom making $100k is vastly more privileged than a 20-yo single white guy with no kids making $50k.
Like, look, I have never been a single mom making $100k but I have friends who have been and they had NO disposable income.

I have been a 20-yo white person with no kids making $50k and while it wasn’t the lap of luxury, I was able to occasionally buy shit I didn’t need.
Like it’s weird how many Twitterati will do the math for how different $40k is today from what it was in the 1980s and look at housing and food costs but won’t do the same analysis for $100k and look at childcare costs.

Uhhh not to rain on the parade but let’s be careful throwing the word “justice” around here.

AFAIK there’s been no reparation made to any summarily fired or forced out employees.

There most likely will not be any justice for them.
As I’ve said before, regarding lawsuits against corporations, the American system of holding corporations accountable requires that people be sacrificed before anything changes, and accountability going forward is NOT the same as justice for the people already harmed.
And the ONLY people who get to say whether they consider this justice for what happened to them are the ones to whom it happened.

Just as you can’t forgive on another person’s behalf, you can’t declare that benefits that you receive equal justice for them.

When you consider how many gamers think:

-that LG is the "most good" or "strictest good" alignment

-that LG means obeying systems and not trying to change them even if they're harming people

you really start to understand the deathgrip racism & sexism have on gamer communities
*sighs in Jewish*

It's really disappointing that people's takeaway from this is "CG is the only truly good alignment."

I feel like I should do my "charity vs. tzedakah" rant here but I'm too tired and I don't want to talk to any more gamers tonight.
Actually, you know what? I've already done this rant multiple times. The idea that helping others should be based on individual compassion rather than systematized is a very Christian one. Judaism says the opposite.
