Yom Kippur is like the one Jewish holiday that you SHOULDN'T try to do religious tourism at a synagogue.

We're BUSY. It's the most intense, personal, inwardly-focused day of our year.

We don't have bandwidth to guide around gawkers.
Like, I've done multiple threads about why Yom Kippur is not a great time to visit.

And why if you want to visit a synagogue to learn more about your own Christianity, don't:

anyway, of COURSE this coward turned off replies when she got pushback from Jews, because if you're going to treat us as zoo animals, it's very inconvenient if we speak

well, if you thought this was bad, I have news about another local testing site, GS Labs in Bellevue, that you're not going to like
Okay, so this is a wild ride.

I googled "free COVID testing Bellevue"

and GS Labs came up pretty early

520 112th Ave NE, Bellevue, WA 98004
interesting that their SEO appears to be tailored to searches for free testing (although I am not an SEO expert, in case anyone who is wants to take a closer look)

because their fine print specifies that you'll pay about $300 out of pocket

Holy shit. WA people, listen up. There are a bunch of these centers in WA (I'll do locations in this thread) and they're listed on some government sites as legit testing sites. (1/x)
So, first off, USA Today has already done an expose on this company.

"Marchett, who is a developer, said he looked into the website’s code for the link and found it was "hardcoded," meaning the link was not providing unique information to each user."

So did Newsweek:

"Other state officials are warning people to be wary of illegitimate test sites that could be used to steal people's personal details."

The other thing I think we all (and I mean *all*) need to reckon with, in the US, is that we can't just handwave things like Jan 6 away with "they don't represent Christianity any more than the Taliban represents Islam."

That's a comforting framework, sure.
But here's the thing.

The Taliban doesn't represent Islam. And it *especially* doesn't represent American Islam. It holds no political power here, and the over*whelming* majority of American Muslims are horrified by it.
Israeli setters don't represent Judaism, and they ESPECIALLY don't represent American Judaism. The *overwhelming* majority of American Jews vehemently oppose them.

Here’s how we KNOW that “progressive” Christians see Christian nationalist evangelicals as Christians, even while they insist to the rest of us that they’re not:

They don’t have any initiatives to proselytize to them.
Like, ok, a lot of more liberal denominations either don’t have missionaries anymore (which, don’t get me wrong, is a GOOD thing) or downplay them, but if y’all genuinely believe that Christian nationalists aren’t really Christian, AND that they’re giving you a bad name…
…it’s not as if you don’t have a bazillion historical models for how to sway non-Christians to your Christianity.

And I mean, none of us were even pretending to be you.

cool, maybe be more concerned w cleaning your house than protecting The Brand

bc y'all still *benefit* from Christian hegemony same as white people all benefit from whiteness whether we want to or not, and you can't dismantle it if your primary concern is protecting Xtian rep
Like, this was literally the 1st QT of the thread with all the Christianity in the Jan 6 failed coup

not "hey, fellow Christians, we have work to do"

not "hey, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, and other non-Christians who might be terrified, I'm with you"

nope. just a #NotALLChristians
and I could pull out a dozen more examples without scrolling that much

Christians are way more concerned that we might not revere them as unquestioned avatars of good

than that *we have to be afraid that they might kill us*

Towers that suck carbon out of the atmosphere and turn it into diamonds exist

Why are we not making a hundred thousand of these

Let’s all wear diamonds on everything like drinking out of the skull of a defeated enemy

bonus: attack and dethrone DeBeers
Can they make them in colors?

Also in thin sheets? Diamond iPhone screen protectors?
