I told my dad today about the Passover frog debate and his response was that it was really one little frog which father bought for two zuzim so I think that puts an end to that debate
any time i hear the insufferable transphobic athlete arguments i think of that one time in middle school when my boys lacrosse team did a full-contact scrimmage against the girls team (who typically play with limited contact) and i, a six-foot, 180lb defender, got utterly laid-out by this 5-foot-nothing girl experiencing the newly-unleashed animosity accompanied by violent sport and as i looked up at my assailant from flat on my back i experienced a brief bout of heterosexuality and fell wildly in love and then had to be taken to the ER because i had a concussion
“from flat on my back i experienced a brief bout of heterosexuality” took me out
An addition to the saga of weird Elijah things during seders.
Transcript: a series of texts including a photo of a baby deer with spots peeking through a sliding glass door. A message follows saying “deer at the Seder”. The other person responds “Elijah?” In all caps.

the romans would have loved uranium glass i know this in my heart. made of a potentially toxic material AND it glows with the divinity of the gods? they’d be making mosaics and phallus-engraved cups out of that so fast
You know how canaries were historically brought into coal mines, because if the mine was full of carbon monoxide the canary would die first and the miners would be able to escape before they died too?
I just found the greatest thing.
This is a canary resuscitator.
When the miners notice the canary getting sick with carbon monoxide poisoning, they can close that circular hatch so no more gas gets into the canary cage, and open the valve on that oxygen tank to keep the canary breathing. In other words, they made a spacesuit for birds.
By immediately giving the canary access to clean air, the miners can save it from the poison. The bird lives. To be clear, this is not for economic purposes, this was specifically created because the miners felt bad and wanted to save the bird.
Isn’t that just the perfect demonstration of what humans are like? We started sacrificing small creatures to save ourselves, and then felt bad and spent our valuable resources on saving the critters too. Because yeah the canary was the only way to test for CO, but it’s a living creature too, dammit!
jacob, vic & lou putting a hidden camera in sam’s house for an unknowable number of months but i think the cherry on top was them making sam do an hour long session with a kink therapist
