Honey cake for Rosh Hashana? Nah. In this house it's all about the honey cookies instead.

In other news, I made a Butterscotch-Scotch apple crisp for dinner tomorrow night. A mix of apples, the usual spices, a few splashes of Talisker Storm, and an oat crust with butterscotch and more of the scotch on top

I have a passion for Jewish holiday decor designed by non-Jews
Two banners for Yom Kippur, both have a picture of a Hanukkah menorah on them, which is incorrect. And they have inappropriate greetings. One says "wish you the best of Yom kippur" and the other says "wish you a blessed Yom kippur"

I make it a habit to buy bad Jewish holiday decorations for my classroom. Here are two from this pack of hanging decorations:

The famous Rosh Hashana Croissant and the traditional out-of-order Hebrew greeting!
On the left, a cutout of a red wine bottle with a pomegranate and a croissant, and on the right an star that says Shana Tovah in Hebrew except it's in the wrong order, so the word Tovah is on top.

Georgia! Go vote for Peter Hubbard in the PSC primary runoff today. It's ok if you didn't vote in the first election.

Chodesh tov from Stockholm, Sweden! It's also my 31st bar mitzvah anniversary.

Update: this week I'm in Norway, riding a bicycle around fjords.
A small road leading through a valley with large mountains on the sides and water from the fjords to the left. Also a waterfall in the distance. A small road next to the water from the fjords and a mountain on the other side

Its the last week of school which means it's yearbook-signing season. I think I've finally mastered it this year:
A stamp on paper that says "Mr Medwed has signed your yearbook and wishes you a wonderful summer, and great success"

Starving innocent people won't end the war and it won't bring back the hostages.

This is quite something, and by something I mean damming and embarrassing and shameful and horrifying and all kinds of other things I'm not even quite sure how to express.

Hey @bluestein.bsky.social how come you say "transgender politics" and not "transgender rights" when writing about the GOP's attack on trans rights?

School closed today for snow that didn't start until after school would have ended, but I got to sleep in, ride my bike, go to the gym, and now I'm reading and watching the snow fall.
