Finally managed to register for NHK Plus after finding out the correct version of my name that I used originally. 🫠

Morning. Slept in because I slept badly during the night.

Have washed the dishes (that I didn’t do last night…) and had breakfast and made a list of to do things today. Nice and sunny, looks a little warmer than yesterday!

Started the day with a giant cockroach, 17 times the size of the cat, in my bathroom.

It’s now dead. I’m considering firebombing the apartment to get rid of the body.

(May not be handling this with the coolest of demeanours.)

Tried watching Wonder Boys (2000) but gave up halfway through.

“In 1947, the United Nations partitioned the land into separate Jewish and Arab states, a decision Jewish leaders accepted and Palestinian and broader Arab leadership rejected, claiming the entire territory. Right-wing Israeli political movements have likewise claimed the entirety of the territory for Israel.”

“Hamas’ 2017 charter states that in principle, it ‘rejects any alternative to the full and complete liberation of Palestine, from the river to the sea.’ In a 2012 speech, Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal said, ‘Palestine is ours from the river to the sea and from the south to the north. There will be no concession on any inch of the land.’”

Not sure I should have done the ‘guts pose’ when the dental technician told me I don’t need to go back for half a year.

People who are good at these things, there’s a 1998 Jewish lesbian film called “Treyf” that I want to watch and it doesn’t seem available on streaming or DVD. I only use an iPad so I can’t 🏴‍☠️ but can someone tell me if it’s available out there somewhere? Thanks!!

Don’t like feeling this stressed and anxious on a Sunday morning. Hopefully teaching kung fu in a bit will help.

@emmaaum Good morning!!

Hope you have a great day.

I watched the first two episodes this afternoon! So cute!

I imagine there are a lot of people who, like me, heard this song when they were young and didn’t appreciate just how powerful it is. Then you become an adult, have some life experience and pow.

OK, I really need help with finding Christmas presents for my family in the UK. It all has to be bought online in the UK and shipped from there. ANY suggestions very welcome! Generic gifts also fine.

• a 27 year old woman
• two early/mid-50s women who live together (but separate gifts are better I guess)
• a 79 year old man

As you can see I don’t know very much about my family’s likes and dislikes…

The US’s longest running Jewish newspaper, The Forward, has removed its paywall and is now free to read. They’re encouraging people to join as members for extra benefits. It’s generally good journalism.

Antisemitism at Harvard, UPenn and MIT (Presidents testifying before congress)

The link should take you directly there but if not skip to 5hours 4minutes and feel your jaw drop the floor.

I’m an academic like these people so my first response would be “speech is conduct”.
