Dunno, between “entire history of” and “Zionism is” and then “Jeremiah would’ve” my official position is what the fuck dude.

“But as for you, have no fear, my servant Jacob, says the Lord, and do not be dismayed, O Israel; for I am going to save you from far away, and your offspring from the land of their captivity. Jacob shall return … and no one shall make him afraid.”

Louisiana is an especially vivid example of how trying to find discrete borders between groups is pretty impossible. I’m glad you shared about it and I actually like that there’s not a way to talk about it that isn’t a little messy. That feels like truth.

man nobody tell anyone on the Bluesky that for a long-ass time people in Italy did not eat pasta: hadn’t heard of it, didn’t make it, wasn’t their thing

unless we are imagining Cicero with some beautiful penne with pesto while pleading with the Senate
