Unfortunately part of being a package is physical attractiveness (for both men and women). That determines whether somebody seeing you sitting in an office or standing in a room decides to hit on you, solely on the basis of what they see. And some of us are more likely to have that happen than othe...

Lovely article on the topic of "moving out", although with no tie-in to autism.

Whenever I get around to seeing the latest edition of True Detective, I'll decide if I'm impressed by her.

The Spaniards like to go out and pick the borage to make these, on days they aren't hurting wild boar.

What I had in mind was swapping "Jew" for some kind of game animal with a similar sounding name. There is a - possibly apocryphal - story about a Spanish man who had just joined the Republican army during the Civil War saying "if I can shoot rabbits, then I can shoot fascists". ...

I think it safe to assume they're an instructor at the post-secondary school level, and that their observational skills are good enough for them to be taken seriously, whatever their academic credentials might be.

I have an honest question, because I never thought about this until recently... Is there anything racist/antisemitic about those purple houseplants called "Wondering Jews"? I have them in my garden and just about everyone I know grows them. They're very common here... But I'm wondering wh...

TBH before 7 October, I would have considered reaching out to those people and asking if somebody wants to talk about it, as I will assume they are basically nice people who don't hold a grudge against real-life Jews. According to the research and the lived experience of Spanish Jews , antisemitism...

I as a Jew have a lot of difficulty seeing “kill Jews” as innocuous at any time, never mind at this especially sensitive time. Yeah, while I’m not a Jew, I agree with you. It’s not like people would be completely unaware of what they were saying. People know history, including about the Holocaust. ...

When I was in France in the early 1970s, I encountered not only antisemitism, but anti-Americanism as well. I travelled there a decade later, and did not encounter much anti-Americanism then (I have a theory about that) but a lot of anti-English sentiment. Like I said, a young person living in Spain...

This is sort of difficult topic for me. As a young person, I spent time in both France and Austria and encountered what seemed like casual, matter-of-fact sort of antisemitism, aimed at Jewish members of the community, that was shocking from an American point of view. I have since visited Spain quit...
