Lot of conversation about antisemitism this week so just a gentle reminder that we don’t hyphenate the word, because it implies there is such a thing as a “Semitic” race (there isn’t, there’s only Semitic language) - and implying there is a Jewish race is of course deadly for the Jews. More info:

One of the things that worries me about our pandemic amnesia is that we also forget how we were kind to one another in the face of fear. How we were beautiful to our neighbors.

Italy orders the complete lockdown of northern provinces, including the city of Venice, where the absence of tourists will cause the canals to turn clear and dolphins will arrive to play in them.
