This man is just three cliches in a trenchcoat

"I just want people to be able to try new things"

"new things" apparently = autocracy, literally one of the oldest things

@restofworld.org has consistently reported on the conditions and struggles of content moderation workers outside the U.S. - well-worth following.

For example: restofworld.org/2023/kenya-c...

NYU Stern released a report on this back in 2020, long before FB's more recent pivot to "community notes"(problematic for other reasons!)

ספוטיפיי ראה שהאזנתי ללאונרד כהן ולטיילור סוויפט בלי הפסקה והחליט שאני בת 78 🤷‍♀️
מסתבר שלאהוב שירים על אהבות נכזבות זה זקן

I'd love to buy an edited version! lmk when it's available and I'll place an order :)

I can't like this response because I like that print so much lol

I haven't been able to track down a physical copy of שלווה גדולה, which is where this poem presumably appears, so I can't tell if these are the exact words Amichai wrote (some variations floating online use לאחר instead of אחר, and some don't include מהם). I'll try to see if my library carries it.

I think the words "החרבות" and "לכתת" are misspelled.
Currently it reads: "לא להפסיק אחר כתות *נחברות* לאתים, לא להפסיק! להמשיך *לפתח* ולעשות מהם כלי נגינה"
The full correct sentence should read:
לא להפסיק אחר כתות החרבות לאתים, לא להפסיק! להמשיך לכתת ולעשות מהם כלי נגינה

These are gorgeous! I was looking at the other beautiful prints as well and I particularly liked the Amichai print (though I think there might be a typo in the Hebrew there?)

I think we're missing data here on other religious minorities (even in the US), but it's interesting that these outliers showed up here so starkly

The two main outliers here are Jews in the US... and Muslims in Israel.

Do you think he sits in an intentionally un-air conditioned office to prove he's tough?

הגיהנום הוא אנשים אחרים רוקדים במדבר?

Aryeh Neier wrote Defending My Enemy and more people should read it

אבל למה כל המדבקות על הספרים באנגלית הפוכות? 😫
