1/ #Purim 5782/2022 thread, of this year's thoughts but also to collect from previous years.

First, a very nice comment by @pphone about my #DisabilityHalakha thread:


& my reply
2/ Some comments from @MuppetRabbi


& I do wonder if we'll see a dvar Torah defending Haman (ym'sh)
3/ From this year, so far:



4/ More from @MuppetRabbi


5/ On the contrast of Halloween and #Purim.

And never ever wear this costume
6/ I am still wearing this #Purim costume in 2022, Heath Miller from the #Steelers (it's how I answer the door during the day, exchanging mishloach manot)
7/ 2019 part 1:



and lastly reposting the #PurimShpiel poll

&
8/ 2019 part 2:
My sad assumption that Barr would have been forced to actually follow the law

&

I tried to spread my belief around, responding to this

with this
9/ 2020:

With the pandemic looming:


Recalling my most memorable, and thematically perfect, #Purim:

Thread about family gatherings during the time of crisis:
10/ 2021, part 1:


We learn from #Purim that speaking ill of the dead is a way to repudiate their evil (re: death of Limbaugh):


&
11/ 2021, part 2:





Friday Purim weirdness

12/ My son's first foray into reading #Megillah for others:


and this year:

13/ For the love of HaKadosh Barukh Hu: please label your handmade #Purim mishloach-manot to tell us if they're pareve, milchik etc. And if it's loose store-bought food, please label the hechsher. I hate throwing food out, I want to enjoy your gift!
14/ I sympathize with those who don't like #Purim; they sound like me about the dissolution and nonsense that has transformed Simchat Torah: the noise, chaos, the unrestrained drinking. It's sad b/c the allowance to do melakhah allows flexibility to craft your own best holiday
15/ We were able to have my parents with us for #Purim2022, a great treasure given the rigors and dangers of the pandemic. After a lovely se'uda I put on a few of the @natebargatze specials so we could close out the holiday with comedy. #Purim Sameach everyone!
16/ #Purim

Me: "How can I get everything done? There are only 24 hours in a day!"

1/ OK, my 2022 #IWD updates, see previous years for the original lists.
2019

2020

2021 (Annotated list)
2/ Naturally, everyone on this list I think is worth reading/following. They make twitter a more educated, welcoming and/or funnier place.

I also want to ask people add pronouns to your bio, b/c I left some people off who didn’t have ‘em & that’s the LAST thing I wanna do today
3/ First, a special thanks to the mutuals who I followed because I was learning so much from and then were gracious to follow:
@PFemme2
@BootlegGirl
@brooklynmarie
@magi_jay
@temasmith

All very much worth reading.

Thank God #Ukraine still stands.

84.02/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight put off a night because of social obligations. Monday is a legal holiday so we will hopefully have movie night tomorrow night.
84.03/ Couldn't be happier, or prouder, as a #Steelers fan to see they hired Brian Flores to be a senior coach. The team gets top notch talent and they take an anti-racist stand. And, as seen below, it earns respect from players:

83.03/ For #PurimKatan I've introduced a new custom: I give out mini ("fun size") candy bars for half-mishloach manot. This year I tested it out with my kids and wouldn't you know it, they approved. Next year, the world!
