Update: I have retitled this Open Thread formerly known as the Weekend Open Thread the Work-a-day Open Thread. Have at it, at will! Well! Sorn’s Open Thread sure filled up fast! I’ll leave you with a fresh new one for the weekend, should anyone be interested, with the reminder that I won’t be around to [...]

Dear President Obama – Please address the Ground Zero mosque incitement.
There’s been a lot of talk lately about “a mosque at Ground Zero” – quelle horreur ! Newt Gingrich went so far as to suggest that we must meet this threat by undermining everything this country stands for, saying There should be no mosque near Ground Zero in New York so long as there are [...]

For Sorn: A new open thread!
Sorn just left a comment in the last Open Thread asking if there would be a new one today. I’d been leaving them to get to about the 50-comment mark, but the last one is fairly buried at this point, and it’s at 42 or something — and Sorn asked so nicely! So: New one [...]

Things you can’t put on your resume.
(Looking for the Open Thread? Click here). I may have mentioned that I am bereft of work. You know, a time or two. Ahem. This is not, however, a post about that! No, it’s a post about resumes, or rather: the things I can’t put on mine, now that I’m thinking about it so much. [...]

Clarification re: The spectres of feminism and egalitarianism
(Looking for the Open Thread? Click here). Yesterday, in keeping with the finest of blogging traditions, I cut and pasted some short sections from an article to which I wanted to respond. Among these bits and pieces was the following comment by Rabbi Shai Held, dean of Yeshivat Hadar: Rabbi Shai Held, dean of Yeshivat [...]

The spectres of feminism and egalitarianism
(Looking for the Open Thread? Click here). Back when I first announced that I would try, in my own wee way, to create an alternative for folks who like hanging out on Ta-Nehisi Coates’s Open Thread, carlos the dwarf linked to an article about a man I surely should have heard of before, Rabbi Avi [...]

The narrative.
(Looking for the Open Thread? Click here). I’ve been observing Israel for more than a quarter of a century, and I’ve noticed a thing or two. Last week, a handful of these noticed-things suddenly knit themselves together in my cluttered mind and I realized: This refusing to admit that the Palestinians are a people as [...]

Always my baby.
I have some ideas pulling themselves together in my head about Israel/Palestine, Israel/the Diaspora, Subject/Other, the power of narrative and who gets to determine narrative and, and… I just don’t have time to actually write them down. It’s possible that I will later, but who can tell — because it’s my baby girl’s birthday! She’s [...]
