Rabbi Danya always has solid advice
No matter what happens with midterms--

a some concrete, core things will be true at the end of the week

and remembering them now might be useful.

Both in terms of how we regulate + care for ourselves

and in terms of our work that will continue through + beyond this year, regardless.

My latest:
no matter what happens this week
a few reminders

Danya Issawi profiled me as one of the local news writers on Substack.

The local reporter who took the government to court twice
Laura Belin went from studying Russian politics to covering Iowa’s. Now, as local papers disappear, she’s making sure those stories get told.

If you're in DC on Wednesday around lunchtime, come see me talk about cyborgs and tech refusal! I can promise you that I will only cite misfits and make bold claims about feminist politics that would make sociologists quake in their boots. It'll be a good time!

Cyborg Politics of Refusal
Dr. Danya Glabau will discuss the cyborg in feminist theory as “an avatar of political struggle.” In the recent book Cyborg (2024), Danya G...

I'm glad you mentioned reparations. Coincidentally I just finished reading Danya Ruttenberg's 'On Repentance and Repair', which is all about the process of truly making amends when we've wronged others. It doesn't sound to me like Glyer is hitting the marks for getting this right.

Not haunting like spooky, but can't haunting like stop thinking about it and disturbing as fuck but also beautiful. Notes on an Execution by Danya Kukafka. Holy shit. That book will live rent free in my head forever and I still think about it at least once a day.

on the occasion of elections in Israel, Rabbi Danya Rutenberg @theradr.bsky.social writes "on the turning away - When will American Jews reckon on Israel-Palestine?" (and this applies to many British and European Jewish institutions as well) www.lifeisasacredtext.com/on-the-turni...

R Danya reminds me how to be brave in compassion when facing the ghosts and monsters of one’s tradition.
New:

"For the last 30 years, our institutions have propped up Bibi, telling us not to question, often refusing to heed even mainstream Israeli partners asking us not to do that.

As someone who's worked my whole career to build bridges, I've resisted writing this piece.

But– if not now, when?"

Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg writes, "Torah merits nothing if it's about the survival of the Jewish people at the expense of another people."

The same goes for the gospel...

Pharisees are the antecedents of modern Jews. We’re not your storybook villains. Find a better slur.

A similar skill set to Ildric, though she’s certainly more athletic. She gets a set of full plate armour as well, but wields a great axe instead of the sword. Her contacts are the wizard Giselbert Almayda of the Hexenguild and lieutenant Danya Klossner of the Talagaad Longsights
