Stay safe out there y'all
An illustration showing cute fat rabbits piling into an underground burrow. There is text, part of which has been edited. The original text says "There are tunnels underground where bunnies are safe — safe" and the edited text adds "from emails"

Seeing hateful nonsense in the wake of the horrible attack in Bondi, so some reminders:
-DO NOT exploit this antisemitic attack to leverage Islamophobic and anti-Arab bigotry and xenophobia
-STOP reflexively making it about Israel because the victims were Jewish

These are both intertwined +

It is absolutely wrong to say that Israel's actions are the reason why there was an antisemitic terror attack against the Jewish community of Australia. And likewise, it is also absolutely wrong for the Israeli government to blame Australia's decision to recognize the state of Palestine.

Compare the statement about the antisemitic terror attack in Australia by the Israeli Prime Minister with the one by Zohran Mamdani, and ask yourself who more truly cares about condemning antisemitism, as opposed to using it to promote unrelated politics.
"I wrote: "Your call for a Palestinian state pours fuel on the antisemitic fire. It rewards Hamas terrorists. It emboldens those who menace Australian Jews and encourages the Jew hatred now stalking your streets."" "The attack at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney today was a vile act of antisemitic terror. I mourn those who were murdered and will be keeping their families, the Jewish community, and the Chabad movement in my prayers. May the memories of all those killed be a blessing. While we are still waiting for all the facts to emerge, what we already know is devastating. At least 11 dead, including Rabbi Eli Schlanger, who held deep ties to Crown Heights. At least 29 injured. Another Jewish community plunged into mourning and loss, a holiday of light so painfully reduced to a day of darkness. This attack is merely the latest, most horrifying iteration in a growing pattern of violence targeted at Jewish people across the world. Too many no longer feel safe to be themselves, to express their faith publicly, to worship in their synagogues without armed security stationed outside. What happened at Bondi is what many Jewish people fear will happen in their communities too. On Bondi Beach today, as men with long guns targeted innocents, another man ran towards the gunfire and disarmed a shooter. Tonight, as Jewish New Yorkers light menorahs and usher in a first night of Hanukkah clouded by grief, let us look to his example and confront hatred with the urgency and action it demands. When I am Mayor, I will work every day to keep Jewish New Yorkers safe—on our streets, our subways, at shul, in every moment of every day. Let this be a purpose shared by every New Yorker, and let us banish this horrific violence to the past."

We are heartbroken by the horrific terrorist attack at Bondi Beach in Sydney.

Hanukkah commemorates the Jewish people's resilience and their right to exist, worship, and live openly as Jews. The perpetrators of this attack sought to extinguish that light and terrorize Jewish communities worldwide.
2 paragraphs of white text against a background reads: "The Nexus Project is heartbroken by the horrific terrorist attack at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, where gunmen opened fire on Jewish families gathered to celebrate the first night of Hanukkah. We mourn the victims of this massacre, including Rabbi Eli Schlanger, and hold the injured and their loved ones in our hearts during this devastating time. This was an unambiguous act of antisemitic violence — Jews were targeted and murdered precisely because they were Jews, gathered in public to practice their faith and celebrate a holiday of light and hope. We condemn this attack in the strongest possible terms. Hanukkah commemorates the Jewish people's resilience and their right to exist, to worship, and to live openly as Jews. The perpetrators of this attack sought to extinguish that light and terrorize Jewish communities worldwide. We stand in solidarity with Australian Jews and with Jewish communities everywhere who are grieving and afraid. Antisemitic violence is not only an attack on the Jewish community — it is an assault on the values of pluralism, safety, and human dignity that bind diverse democratic societies together. We call on leaders across the globe to treat the fight against antisemitism with the seriousness and urgency this moment demands, and we extend our deepest condolences to all those affected by this unconscionable tragedy."

This is lengthy, but so important. In the last couple of years, I’ve seen a lot of the things that the graphic at the end has under “covert antisemitism” coming from people who I think don’t realize what they’re doing.

I think it’s time to put this one back out into the ether, friends

Come and learn about how the tropes undergirding anti-Jewish hatred and conspiracy theories as they exist today came to be…

Gotta get the history to know where the tropes live in the discourse today.

It’s baby octopus season 🐙🦑

Saw this little guy last night with the Salish Sea School in Anacortes, WA as part of their free community dock walk I volunteer as an interpreter for.

We can tell it is a giant pacific octopus from the single line of chromatophores on each arm.

Those on an H1B cannot return to the US from tomorrow (Sunday) unless paying $100K. This is an out-of-the blue presidential action. We’ll see software engineers stranded abroad.

One easy to predict outcome: those on US visas will travel less… for work, for conferences etc.

Happy international whale shark day!

Whale sharks are absolutely unequivocally sharks, and are absolutely not whales. And they’re not half shark half whales.

While I have you, they’re predators. Eating lots of tiny animals is still eating animals!
