What I just finished reading:
jewish futures which i mostly enjoyed. i didn't love the non-trivial number of stories that depended on a certain amount of "jews as a wildly discriminated-against people" - are there seriously no other ways to write about jews in space besides "everyone on earth hated us and wanted us dead so we had to escape to ( Read more... )

i feel like nothing has happened in the last week but i think that's just because it's quiet at work, and my sister and i went to new york on sunday for a couple days and had the pleasure of ignoring all the news. but things did happen! cheetolini was indicted on thirty-seven felony counts, in federal court, all related to the boxes of classified ( Read more... )

because i had nothing to do at work today i spent a lot of time on twitter reading about brexit. it's fascinating and scary, and i realize i'm lucky to be able to look at it as merely fascinating, because it doesn't directly affect me. it was a lot of news to read, tho. the one good part was that donald trump was in scotland and tweeted how ( Read more... )
