  6. tonight wake

    tonight   wake
    when late winter returns
    home your inmate

    in your nightgown
    with your candle kneel
    beside your bed and shiver

    after you go to bed
    after you go to sleep

    when the horizon's become a purse
    that today's early summer's
    returned her sun to

    when the warm breath
    of today's spring's been
    expelled from your chamber into the

    late winter's dawn at dusk

    the cold air seeps into your cell through
    gaps between the casing and the shutter
    between the door frame and the door

    through cracks
    in mortar and masonry he oozes
    in inhaled

    the late winter returns
    home not to warm you out of your bed
    but to freeze you in

  7. More on Meg Keane's upcoming publishing imprint.

    "Over the next year, #MegKeene #Books will release four to six #novels that she and the founders of #WickedSon believe will elevate #Jewish voices and reconstruct a bygone communal Jewish #literary conversation. She will also edit a forthcoming #literarymagazine designed to shape the Jewish #book-buying audience.

    "My goal is to make Jewish #publishing feel really cool,” #Keene told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.

    “I’m planning to acquire books across genres — male #authors, female authors, #romance, #thriller, literary #fiction — you know, the works,” she added. “I also intend to put everything I have behind each book, and sort of ask the Jewish community to support these books and make the case for them.”

  8. This. Build our own institutions. They'll succeed.

    "#Keene is the eponymous tastemaker at the helm of a new #imprint within #WickedSonPress, a 5-year-old #publisher that has released mostly #nonfiction that leans right.

  9. "Modern #textual #scholarship has shown that #ToledotYeshu never existed as a single, fixed #composition. Unlike the #Mishna or the #Talmud, whose textual traditions gradually stabilized through widespread printing, Toledot Yeshu remained fluid for centuries. #Scribes copied from whatever exemplars were available, frequently introducing additions, omissions, stylistic revisions, and entirely new #narrative episodes. Rather than preserving a single "original" version, the #manuscript tradition reflects a living #text continually reshaped by its transmitters.

    The #Łomżamanuscript is especially noteworthy because it preserves a substantially expanded #recension. Its elaborate title-page introduction immediately distinguishes it from many simpler copies. Throughout the text, the #Hebrew is unusually polished, employing a consciously #biblical style that lends the narrative an air of #antiquity and #literary refinement."

  10. Judeo-Christian :fozzie_wocka_wocka:

    "Among the many #faiths practiced by millions of #Texas #students, a new statewide required #reading list that includes #biblical passages draws from just two traditions: #Protestant #Christianity and #Judaism.

    Yet Texas #rabbis say #Jews had no role in shaping how #Judaism appears in the #curriculum, and they disagree with how the lone #Jewish text is presented. Rather than teaching about Judaism on its own terms, they argue, the lessons filter Jewish texts through a #Christian perspective.

    The #readinglist, which is expected to go into effect in 2030, will have #publicschool students across the state reading passages from the #NewTestament and mostly Christian #translations of the #Hebrew Bible alongside #literary classics. Of the curriculum’s six #HebrewBible readings, just one uses a Jewish #translation."

  15. paracelsus arrived

    paracelsus arrived
    before the south gate
    was unlocked

    while he waited
    to ask the watchman
    if the pestilence had come
    to wittenberg before he had

    the east gate
    was opened like an eye

    and the morning’s early sun
    that had risen from where it waited

    its shining entered
    the town like a tide

  17. Female gaze mails male gays, baits male gaze; female gays' gaze gates no way. youtube.com/watch?v=BrDML1ZaNaM
    Idk, there's something in there. OH!

    Hey! Hays hates, hazes gays; Hays gates gays' gaze. Gays train blame game (fame), gain grace. Hays laid hate-bait, days say "Nay, ain't great," and rein place shame.
    Came they late, the lay debate brays same: Gay gaze may stay!

  18. Someone sent this to me earlier today.

    Now it is stuck in my head because I apparently never looked at them as I was stuffing them in my mouth.

    It's like the winning lottery numbers in that old fortune cookie I threw away years ago all over again. Sigh.

    I don't believe I was always so oblivious to details but here I am.
