I haven't done much reading since grad school, sorry to say. Survival/life got in the way. Now I'm going down the rabbit hole of Goodreads, getting excited to read (slowly) again. Has anyone found good community on Goodreads?

They love to get attention & goad people so they feel like they "won". Your life doesn't need to be run by people with the mental/emotional age of teenagers. Let's take life and the US back for adulthood.

Maybe if there's one or two people trying to bait everyone on this app into an angry response—maybe, just maybe—we shouldn't give them what they want.

It's brilliant...Santa Claus is now gonna be the 'Red Rabbi' to me!
Today though, Christmas, or at least its most recognizable symbols, are no longer a taboo subject for many Jews in Israel. Even in Jerusalem, several stores now prominently display Christmas-themed items.

Santa Claus or the 'red rabbi'? How Christmas lost its taboo for some Jews in Israel.
JERUSALEM (RNS) — Being Jewish in the Diaspora at Christmastime is very different from being Jewish in Israel.

This is beautiful & elegant. Imagine a more depthful, mature Lost Cherry with all day persistence & projection. This is a cherry-amber, not vanilla. People say gourmand, but it's just as much an oriental/ambrée. Boozy & spicy on a richer, denser, more complex base. ❤️! #fragrancesky #perfumesky #sotd

Guess who is paying these tariff taxes? Yes, me (and you). I ordered something that ended up having to be shipped from Morocco, despite the fact that it was ordered from a US website. Now I received this bill from FedEx with a copy of the Homeland Security tariff notice. F*ck this govt. Really.

Don't be mad fragheads, but I finished "Diary of a Nose" and Jean-Claude Ellena is one boring-ass writer. He seems to express a disingenuous, trés Gallic self-absorption. Big yawn. I need to read something more interesting about fragrance. Ideas? #fragrancesky #perfumesky

On a break from my cherry tryouts to enjoy the rich & unique tobacco of Red Tobacco. A prickly blast settles into fruity pipe tobacco rich w/ cinnamon, saffron & spice, delicious cooked apple notes & a whisper of jasmine. Big! Not for the faint hearted. It is so good!

4 Non Blondes played SF this week at Great American Music Hall. Folks. our souls can be healed by rock & roll. It was ALL new stuff & it was all absolutely phenomenal. I've been at their shows since 92 or 93 at the then Nightbreak on Haight (I'm an OG) & followed Linda Perry at bars before the band.

Who is this insightful woman? This is something we all should learn and do.
“When people try to sell you on the idea that the future is already settled, it’s because it is deeply unsettled.”

At the risk of jumping on the bandwagon, I wore my teeny 1 ml decant of TF Lost Cherry today, and damn it's good! I expected to like it, but I *really* like it. I can't afford a FB, so I found a dupe. I'll be sampling other cherries, but this is the one to beat.

I'm singing '"The Way You Look Tonight" à la Sinatra to myself in the house this morning, and freaking Google Gemini pops up to ask "what it should arrange." Ugh.

I would like to talk a little bit about the experience of living in the Roman ghetto in Renaissance Europe for you guys. Just to give a sense of why the idea that Nazis learned from the US is so offensive. A thread of uncertain length.
To start, the Roman ghetto was deeply overcrowded swampland.
