When We Collide: Sex, Social Risk, and Jewish Ethics is the Jewish sex book you didn't know you wanted. Wanna know what ritual impurity has to do with STIs? What rabbinic interpretation has to do with BDSM? Want a challenging, unapologetically queer reading of Jewish text? This book's for you.
TELL BLUESKY MORE ABOUT YOUR BOOK PLEASE!
Me too. (It doesn't help that my book goes into the 1950s drought and why so few noticed it.)

And the proof that insurance companies know their "experts" are unqualified: one of the most effective tactics your doctor can use to override a denial of benefits is to request, in writing, the name and board specialty of the denying physician and proof of their qualifications.

In 2005, a Jewish family was forced to flee their home after challenging their local school's policy of requiring Christian prayer.
A young conservative lawyer named Mike Johnson decried the family as working for "the enemy" attempting to "silence the gospel" through "spiritual warfare"

PSA: Now is the perfect time to get your updated COVID vaccine!
It takes ~2 weeks to get full protection, so it's best to get vaccinated a while before Thanksgiving. Also, this is usually when the winter surge starts.

this is also why you will not see any condemnation of the bombing of a hospital killing 500 people on the Right or among evangelical churches: their theology demands the total annihilation of palestinians
I wrote about the evangelical Christians eagerly anticipating the Rapture during this horrible war in Israel -- and why their eschatology demands the annihilation of Palestinians https://theswordandthesandwich.substack.com/p/americas-apocalyptic-cheerleaders

It's perpetually frustrating that this comes as news to anyone in the US anymore, as it's been a core element of US Evangelicalism for more than a century. They haven't kept it a secret! It's in their sermons! They write best-selling book series about it! It's an incredibly influential worldview!
The reason why many US Christians do this is because US evangelicals believe that Israel is where it will all happen when the rapture comes. They see all the Jews and Muslims and the *wrong* kinds of Christians who live there as kindling, but support it in the meantime so their dreams can come true
I've noticed this too, but both in Canada (I'm Canadian) and in the USA, regardless of the recent history, the government administration just stands in solidarity with Israel, regardless of what happens.
And, being in the capital, there are a LOT of protests by Palestinians against Israeli Aggro 1/2

It is possible to think that the Israeli apartheid must end now, and that the bombing of Gaza is a war crime, and also think that Hamas indiscriminately murdering civilians is a war crime. It's not even a paradox or a logic puzzle, it's a basic consistent moral position.
