The Iranian Regime is going to execute rapper Toomaj Salehi for supporting protests of Jina Amini’s murder by the regime in his songs.

Iranian activist Elica Le Bon says, “Iranians in the diaspora picked up on the fact that the regime tends not to execute people who become known to the international community. We have seen many examples of prisoners that were either released on bail or had their sentences commuted through our “say their names to save their lives” campaign on social media, using hashtags to garner attention for their causes, and even before social media existed, through getting the stories of political prisoners to international media outlets. Once reported on, and once the eyes shift to the regime and the reality of its pending brutality, realizing that the action is not worth the repercussions, we have seen them back down and not execute. For that reason, this is part of an urgent campaign for readers to talk about Toomaj as much as you can, using the hashtag #FreeToomaj or #ToomajSalehi. Every comment makes a difference, and if we were wrong, what did we lose by trying?”

"A new table and chairs, Mom? How are we gonna afford them?"

"You let me worry about that, Dustin."

"But --"

"Your job is grades and having fun."

"And my job."

"Sure, the hospital too. But it's my job to take care of the house and finances here. Save your money for college."

"But you don't have a job."

"I said sweetheart, don't you worry any. Why don't you invite Angela over? Hasn't it been a while since you've seen her?"

"Yeah, I guess it has. I've been so busy."

"Use some of your salary to buy condoms too."

"Mom! We're not -- ugh, I don't wanna talk about this!"

"Better safe than sorry."

So I cooked the Julia Child 30-minute chicken dinner tonight. Inspired by Jamie on Anti-Chef: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ma4sB-HsINo. I also found a video of Julia doing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvKEOW0B2U4

I made roasted mushrooms instead of boiled eggs. I also did not peel either the tomato (I don't like peeled tomatoes) or the potatoes. I added a bit of paprika to the potatoes along with salt when they were just about done. The mushrooms and eggs are about the same amount of time to prepare, but not peeling the potatoes and tomatoes definitely gave me more time, but also I had quite a bit of downtime in there. So I think it's probably a wash in terms of time, though not effort. Not to mention that I wasn't filming myself, which is a big obvious lead I had on Jamie.

My pieces of chicken were way bigger than Julia or Jamie had. (Aldi.) I used one breast and one leg quarter. I could have chopped them up more, but chopping up raw bone-in chicken is the opposite of fun. Julia said you could add some white wine or mushrooms, so I added some white wine. You could add all sorts of things. I used Herbes de Provence rather than Italian seasoning, and much more of it than Julia -- again, you could use just about anything. In any case, the white meat still got a bit overcooked. The dark meat didn't have enough time to cook fully, though.

So, outcome: If I had made all white meat chicken, it would have taken me about 28 minutes or possibly less. Roasted mushrooms take 25 minutes in the oven, with about one minute to prepare them. As it was, my husband and I sat down to dinner and ate some of the white meat while the dark meat continued to cook on low.

And the important part: It was very tasty! Next time I make the chicken I'll make some roasted root vegetables with it, rather than bothering with cooking zucchini and potatoes on the stovetop and dirtying every skillet we have. Also, take the white meat out long before the dark meat, like 10 minutes at least. It turned out to be an inexpensive and healthy meal, and a fun challenge.

Me, just trying to find a streamed/filmed Seder to keep me company as I toil in a town with 0 Jews besides me.

YouTube: “CHRIST in the Seder” “Learn how Jesus experienced Passover” “seeing Jesus in the Passover Seder” “eagle mountain evangelical Passover service” “a guide for Passover for Christians” “bible stories explain: WHAT JEWS SECRETLY SACRIFICE TODAY” “the Passover meal: discovering Jewish Jesus” “Jews for Jesus Passover” “Christian Passover Seder walkthrough”

Regarding the AI spam comments: I've seen spam comments like that advertising things before. They seem to be insulting the thing, but they're getting its name out there. It does something with search engines, idk, and it does get the fact of the thing's existence into people's brains.

But yeah. Get an AO3 account.

Just saw a notification on AO3 that they've temporarily disabled guest comments due to "an influx of abusive spam comments." Any guesses on whether that's due to donation drive drama or other anti behaviour?

Your average anti doesn't have the tech skills for bots, but who knows.

I have a happy relationship with my husband. It's great. It would be comatose-inducing dull as a story.

"if you ship this thing it's because you're too naïve to understand that it's toxic and that you wouldn't like a relationship like this" actually it's because I see one of them as a mentos drop and the other as a bottle of coke zero and I want to watch the mess they'll be together

I am not personally Jewish, but I have been present at enough Passover Seders that I looked at that JVP "blessing" and went what the everloving fuck is that shit.

JVP thinks Hebrew is written left to right. They know less than nothing about Judaism and are appropriating it in order to try to hurt Jews. Tale as old as time.

More JVP Shenanigans

TLDR; JVP's Haggadah was put together by goys and their tax filings show they have no intent to help and/or represent Jews. We all know JVP is the Autism Speaks of the Jewish community. They exploit Jews and try to present themselves as a Jewish organization concerned with systemic discrimination, Palestinian rights, antisemitism, and much more. Hell, you can go look at their core values on their website and a lot of us would agree that these are good things.

JVP uses all that as misdirection. It uses Judaism as set dressing for its own agenda and exploits people’s ignorance. However, if you have just a little bit of knowledge you can tell that JVP is not only exploiting Judaism, but it is an organization that has wholly embraced Jew face and does not know what it’s doing.

Take a look at their Haggadah.

Their Haggadah was clearly put together by goys who didn’t know what they were doing. Many of the translations for their blessings are wrong or were clearly put through google translate. Other blessings are slapdash put together or grabbed from other Seders. Take a look at this blessing:

Baruch atah adonai eloheynu melech ha’olam asher kidshanu b’mitzvotav v’tzivanu l’hadlik ner shel (Shabbat v’shel) yom tov. Blessed is the spirit of freedom in whose honor we kindle the lights of this holiday, Passover, the season of Freedom.

Do you see the issue? For those who don't know, there is no mention of Passover in the blessing at all. So why is it in the translation? They also didn't include any of the extra words for Shabbat in the translation as well. If you have the patience, go through and read it. It omits the story of Passover, dismisses the importance of the holiday, and just changes the entire thing for their agenda.

“But it’s a Jewish organization, I swear!”

Well let’s look at their tax filing where they as a 501(c)3 have to describe what their organization is and their intent.

That's weird. A Jewish organization that states it fights against antisemitism and is committed to Jewish communities has nothing on their filing about Judaism or Jews in any capacity. It's mission is regarding education about Palestinians. Some of you might say "what's wrong with that?" There's nothing inherently wrong with that mission statement. What is wrong is that JVP hides its intent, bigotry, and antisemitism behind a veil of Jew face. It claims to be a Jewish organization, but it can't even get basic translations of prayers right. It omits, misleads, and misinforms about our culture, history, and traditions in such a heinous way that it's downright disgraceful. JVP does not represent the Jewish community and at this point it's clear that they're Jewish in name only.
