Today I came across a line inspired by Jewish thought on the value of the individual: ‘The day you were born is the day God declared that the world could not exist without you.’

I find myself wondering whether people who, since October 7, 2023, have consumed and echoed unverified propaganda realize how they may be contributing to a climate conducive to antisemitism.

❤️ the cover of The New Yorker designed by the Catalan illustrator Luci Gutiérrez, a celebration of the mix of zaniness and discipline it takes to make a magazine.
Déu n’hi do.

The RAE dictionary introduced today a new word in Spanish “bocachancla” constant commentary mistaken for insight, confidence without knowledge, volume without judgment. Once you notice it, the pattern becomes hard to unsee. Love it!

El uso de “brutal” con el sentido de algo magnífico y maravilloso acaba de entrar en la RAE, y siento que por fin le hicieron caso a N hispanohablantes de mi zona. De ahí el “¡está bruto!” para referir algo genial.

There are moments when boundaries vanish: in a goal, a chord, a shared cheer. What binds us isn’t age, name, or history, it’s the thrill that makes strangers vibrate together.

X was loud, violent, and corrosive. BlueSky is quieter, but crowded with people opining far beyond what they know. Less abuse, more misplaced authority. Different problem, same cost: insight. In any case, we are losing spaces for thought.

My latest in @jewishsf.bsky.social offers up sufganiyot (jelly donuts) for Hanukkah with Hawaiian inspired elements including a versatile purple yam/sweet potato coconut cream. jweekly.com/2025/12/12/t...
These ube doughnuts give Hanukkah a Hawaiian vibe
Combine ube, also known as purple yams, with a Portuguese-style doughnut for a Hanukkah nod to Hawaiian cuisine.

Amélie Nothomb’s The Book of the Sisters. Short, sharp, and oddly dark, at moments hilarious. Brilliance flirting with absurdity, a child forced into motherhood by neglectful, self-absorbed parents, ghostly edges. Uneasy, flawed, unforgettable.
By the way, Amélie Nothomb’s Spanish translator is Sergi Pàmies, a Catalan writer with a long and established literary career. His work is marked by a subtle yet persistent sense of humor: dry, ironic, uncomfortable, and often tinged with melancholy.

Survived the novel… but not without scars. As a survivor, next up: El libro de las hermanas (Le Livre des sœurs, 2022) by Amélie Nothomb. If I’m going to face the dark side of the world, I’ll take it with a Belgian sense of humor. Mauvignier gave me zero smiles, and maybe forehead wrinkles.
Breaking news: it started raining and I finished the novel. A macabre domestic thriller with horror, psychological tension, & an experimental style with long, nearly punctuation-free sentences, showing how secrets & personal histories can explode into everyone’s lives. The worst birthday party ever.
Update: weather report, overcast skies heighten the tension. At this point, I can say the narrative is Proustian, but the detail is forensic pathology, not sweet memory. An intimate microscope detailing ferocity to spark complicity (de la mala), trauma, and condemnation.

In real life, why would anyone need to know what car we drive? If it must be announced, it’s no longer neutral. Even narcos don’t do that. It’s not nouveau riche. It’s dysfunctional adulthood and unresolved childhood validation.

Nothing will dim the light of Hanukkah 🕎
11 people in Australia were killed today by gunmen while they celebrated the first night of Chanukah at Sydney’s Bondi Beach. Targeted because they were Jews.
As Jewish families around the world, we place our menorahs in our windows. Our message to the world: Light will outlive the darkness.

I took this picture before reading the news. The peace of my morning routine, shattered by the Bondi attack. Hanukkah is Light, today, candles mourn. Infusing hate toward a tiny religious minority solves nothing in the Middle East.

An obvious truth: I’m reading fiction. The saddest part is turning back to reality and realizing it is a human possibility. Fiction taught me how to fear, reality taught me why. True horror doesn’t live on the page, but in the knowledge that evil can arrive unannounced & alter a life forever. #Brown
Update: The novel is dark, like my soul and like a great chocolate. I’ve survived it so far. I’m here to say that the narrative probes human psychology, uncertainty, fear, and tension in meticulous detail.
