I don’t know…
… someone said something like “… but during the holocaust the Jewish people did nothing… they just took.”
Just wanted to remind others, as I reminded that idiot, that that was untrue.
Rule #1 of having a Jewish grandmother.
infinitybird:
Never question anything she does. You will get a 30 minute dissertation about why she does what she does and how you should do the same.

Torchwood Fan Radio Play
I am thinking of making one of my Janto fan fictions into a “radio play” with fans playing the characters. If you want a taste of my stories, check out HippyChick1964 on fanfiction.net - they tend to be “NC-17” rated. If I get enough interest, I’ll start working on the script. Also, I’ll need folks who want to help with production, such as sound effects and...

Transcript: Health care Supreme Court arguments
politico:
Here is the transcript from the first day in oral arguments on the Affordable Care Act, as released this afternoon by the Supreme Court.
Okay, I’m sick of this because 1) all the folk who are against it have their health insurance covered (either through insurance or out-of-pocket) or don’t think they’ll ever get sick; 2) the folks who are for it don’t...

Reform Judaism at 200 - Try My Rabbi →
Now, I have always held the radical idea that Reform Judaism did not begin with Jacobson in Sessen. It did not begin with the philosophical foundations proposed by Mendelsohn a generation before Jacobson. It did not begin with Baruch Spinoza, the seventeenth century Dutch Jew whose heretical-for-his-time views of modern biblical criticism, using Euclidean methods to demonstrate a metaphysical...

*******TORCHWOOD SPOILERS**********
Dear all Whovians claiming that the new companion is supposedly Captain Jack Harkness’s daughter. This is false. Although, Jack actually DOES have a daughter. For those of us who ventured into the Torchwood series…………we met his daughter. She is not the next companion.
Just needed to clear this up because it’s spamming my dashboard!
Watchrainbowfied-unicorn:
This is wonderful. the girl in the background made the blonde girl’s desktop background a picture of her holding a sign that said “Hi there. So um… Will you be my girlfriend?” while she was in the bathroom. This is the girl’s response. Made my day.
This is sooooo cute!
