It is no secret that the Judaism of our owners remains central to everything we do at NerdyKeppie & has been since its founding. We don't often overtly post from Torah, though, since we understand that a lot of queer folx carry religious trauma.
But some days, enough is absolutely enough.

One of the things making so many men uncomfortable with β¨guilt by associationβ¨ around the Epstein files is the knowledge *they* have about men with whom *they're* associated who hurt women, and about whose behavior they've never, not once, considered doing anything.
