Clean the mold out of your reusable water bottle including the cap and straw

Mold poisoning will kill you and has a high chance of causing severe hallucinations and nightmares while it's doing it. My final message goodbye

A year or so ago I saw someone who studies bacteria on food surfaces talking about how she never ever uses a water bottle for longer than 2 days without washing it with hot water and soap or running it through the dishwasher and I've become really adamant about it ever since. Everyone has enough water bottles to keep them cycling through the dishwasher and in use.

Also please don't die.

So you want to know more about antisemitism outside the context of Nazis ...

99.99999% of conspiracy theories are either rooted in antisemitism or antisemitism is a key component

Yad Vashem has a bunch of things, here’s a free online course about antisemitism:

Poke around the National Museum of American Jewish History’s site (it’s The Best Jewish museum in the US, IMO).

Handy guide with examples from social media:

Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg is great and has a number of informational threads.

On Antisemitism:

How to be a good ally around antisemitism:  1) educate yourself on its history and context, learn how it differs from (and manifests differently than) other oppressions.   1/x short thread  — Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg (@TheRaDR) December 30, 2019ALT

On Judeo-Christian and why you should delete it from your vocabulary:

“Judeo-Christian” isn’t a thing. It a) positions Jews & Christians against Muslims, is Islamophobic b) elides Christian oppression & murder of Jews over more than 1000 years & c) ignores Jewish civilization worldwide & facts of key Jewish developments in Middle East & N Africa.  — Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg (@TheRaDR) January 27, 2019ALT

On why you should stop using “Pharisees” as a pejorative:

So, if you mean as Empire, I'm with you.   But I see a lot of replies using the word "Pharisees," which a) weren't Jesus' opponent, he *was* a Pharisee having intra-communal debates w/his own people and b) if that's what was meant, it's an antisemitic dog whistle!   1/x thread https://t.co/vviO1cBrAo  — Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg (@TheRaDR) February 8, 2019ALT
PSA: "Pharisee" is an antisemitic cudgel. Jesus was a Jew arguing w/his fellow Jews abt the future of Judaism. That word has been used to murder & expel us for centuries. If you use "Pharisee" to describe Sanders you imply that Jewish law condones these atrocities. It does not.  — Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg (@TheRaDR) June 14, 2018ALT

Here’s an essay on why “fake Christian” and “not a real Christian” are harmful rhetoric:

(Look, I get the impulse. Ben Shapiro is shitbag. So are Laura Loomer, Stephen Miller, Mort Klein, etc. but No True Scotsman-ing isn’t actually helpful.)

“But Israel!” Nope. Stop right there. Explainers:

(My main critique of both of these is that they’re pretty Ashkenormative and gloss over the effect Israel’s creation had on Mizrahi Jews living in other MENA countries.)

Short thread/statement from a Palestinian activist that succinctly summarizes his distaste with folks using Palestinians to legitimize their antisemitism:

Thread from a Black Jew about how Jews are often perceived by Gentiles of Color, which is a helpful perspective on how positive stereotypes and proximity to whiteness can put marginalized communities in conflict. These conflicts doubly hurt those who belong to both:
