But I don't see any way to phrase it, other than just an "Are you Jewish?" question, that wouldn't exclude plenty of Jews.

It looks like the school is appealing. I wonder if the Supreme Court will agree with the first ruling or the appeal ruling.

The November Nine is killing me. I'm on the edge of my seat.

I'm trying to understand why the UK has government-funded religious schools to begin with. I can't find anything that makes sense to me.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

it seems like part of the argument is that, if they say that Jewishness is not a race or ethnicity, then that will set a precedent that antisemitic acts can't be prosecuted under the laws against racial or ethnic discrimination.

I would think the final arbiter of that would be whether the person committing the antisemitic act was intending to target Jewish people, not whether the victim was officially Jewish.

Megan, what's the November Nine?

My skin is KILLING me today. We're having the godawfulest weather (90 degrees and dry.... but only 90 degrees for like 30 minutes... when I go to work, it's closer to 50 degrees and I end up wearing a wool sweater all day). I need a new moisturizer, I think. I've been wearing Origins for years and I love it but... I don't know. I guess I'm craving change.

Any suggestions for moderately dry skin face moisturizers?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I swear by Aveeno.

Bathing in olive oil? OK, not helpful. I manage with a strong salici-whatever moisturizer for my face and occasional straight up vaseline on parts that dry too much.

My body skin is beginning to act up from the pool + running the heat. Bad when mild soap stings hitting your back. Not much to be done, and I can only reach so much of my back...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have used to good ends both Neutrogena's non-comedogenic face lotion and Mario Badescu's buttermilk lotion.
