K-Stew was born to be an action hero, with steely stare and gritted jaw. Let her do her thing, and she's sublime.
just gonna quote the Toast here because obviously I cannot do better than the Toast; no one can:
"Kristen Stewart is Heath Ledger, I assure you. She has the same handsome face, the same winsome, masculine smile, the same reluctance to make direct eye contact."
"They thought it meant she was a limited actress; it means nothing of the kind. She is John Wayne being forced to play the Maureen O’Hara character. "

‘Twas I!

I am she who wrecked the housing market!

‘Twas I who <checks notes> bought this house off-market, to live in, from investor for less money than if investors started a bidding war & stopped investor who owns the one next door from completing a row of rental properties.
You have found me out! I am an evil millennial wrecking the housing market for all those Boomers by buying a house Lo live in (with housemates!) and blocking poor retired people from buying a fifth home!
Won’t someone think of the poor investor who just wanted to turn this entire cul-de-sac into rental properties?

So, the concrete versions of the "OT=bad, NT=good" assumption that I see most often contrasts "an eye for an eye" with "turn the other cheek," and I don't think those are actually as in conflict as people seem to think. (1/x)
That one seems to be the go-to example, both on TV and on the internet, of "OT" vengefulness (or in its softer framing, justice) vs. NT compassion (or mercy).
And it's not surprising that they get juxtaposed, because the NT has Jesus actually setting them in opposition ...maybe.

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.

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.
