Sooo I was at a coffee shop and the girl in line behind me decided to ask if I’d heard about Jesus.
In the United States.
In 2025.
“I have heard the sales pitch, yes,” I said. “I’m happy with my current religious services provider and not looking to make a switch.”

I noticed two candles were lit, even though it's the first night. I looked it up, and learned about the Shamash.
The Shamash is the "Helper Candle", and I love how the author says that each of us have the potential to be a shamash.
Happy Hanukkah!

The Internet was never perfect but it used to be usable, functional. I know how we got here and I want the old Internet back. I want forums back. I want personal sites. I want stuff not written by a machine. I just want shit to work again.

European antisemitism and its global, colonial descendants have hounded us for centuries and still we put the menorahs in our windows, sharing the miracle
