Intrigued by my bio, or by something I said? My DMs are open, and I'm happy to answer sincere questions about my faith. No need to be afraid to offend me - I know that most people disagree with me about God! I used to be in that camp too. (more on this: meiravsblog.wordpress.com/taโ€ฆ)

Sounds perfect
If the world is getting a little too much may I recommend the inexplicably obsolete word โ€˜latibulatingโ€™, from the 17th century? To latibulate is to find a cosy corner somewhere and hide in it.

Today in why do people I set a submission deadline and two weeks later someone sends me an article I'm due to publish today. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Joke making the rounds in Israel is that Israeli elections are like shopping in @IKEA. First you make the choice, and then you scratch your head over how to assemble the item

Who was the smartest man in the Torah? Abraham. He knew a Lot.

Still sad that someone mistook this as approval. Description โ‰  approval. And being controversial is not in itself negative - just dangerous in cultures that tend to murder people for it.
My thoughts exactly. He was killed because he dared to be controversial in Islamic culture.

Still totally zapped one day later. It was one of those group things when you keep moving from one bitty conversation to another! And I was right in the middle of the table. Introvert life is hard, yo.
Current status: survived a group social event in the actual morning, have had one snooze and one afternoon coffee and am fully expecting to nod off again any minute now. I am, for those who might be new here, an introvert night owl. Difficult time etc. T&P.

This should be made into a game... Get people to guess the 10 worst current conflicts in the world and most of them will say Gaza (which is currently running in 12th place)
I'd like to put this on a Times Square billboard

Interesting! I know my husband is perfectly comfortable driving at night, while I find it super stressful.
More women than men donโ€™t like driving at night. Turns out thereโ€™s a physiological reason.Men have more rods in their retinas which gives them better night vision. Just another under researched difference in our biologies. somethingtosay.london/uncateโ€ฆ

The third weirdest thing about this line of reasoning is that Palestinians don't want to be Israeli citizens and vote in Israeli elections. 1/
She knows that the actual issue is the 6 million Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank who canโ€™t vote. She just thinks youโ€™re too dumb to know.

Arabs living in Palestinian controlled territories (Area A & Gaza): We hate Israel, we don't want to be part of Israel or have anything to do with it. We'll hold our own elections, with no Jews allowed. (They haven't held one in more than twenty years.) The same people: the Jews won't let us vote in Israel, it's apartheid! Meanwhile Arabs living in Israel vote every four years as equal citizens.

"What's election day like in Israel?" Oh you know, pretty normal. Probably the same as every other country.

Just seen a post on a WhatsApp group where someone actually asked who we're all wanting to win today's elections Glad to see the only response was an appropriate emoji reaction: ๐Ÿค

Bedouins travelling to the voting booths ๐Ÿซ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿซ I love my country ๐Ÿ˜
So far, Israel had the highest voter turnout since 1969. Folks are riding out of the desert on mules and donkeys to cast their vote.

At last I found out - ok, I could have googled, or asked ChatGPT I suppose ๐Ÿ™‚
Replying to @Britannica
"GPT" stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformer, the underlying artificial intelligence architecture the model uses. Found on phones and gomputers everywhere.

Watching people trying to debunk or justify the report into antisemitism in schools shows how accurate it is.
