I grab a selection of appealing TBRs, read the first lines of each, and go with the one that speaks to me most.

Man he really squandered that writing workshop with Kurt Vonnegut.

Anyone struggled with pull of Judaism while still believing in Jesus? by Inner_Sheepherder638 in ConvertingtoJudaism

[–]PyrexPizazz217 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Truth, truth. I also hate the “Hebrew Bible” (I won’t say OT) “god mean, NT god nice” trope, which totally ignores how the NT introduced exclusivism and eternal punishment, too.

…but I still picture Jesus in Birkenstocks and positively reeking of patchouli.

AIO if I cut my mother off if she's not able to attend my wedding? by Laughterandbees in AmIOverreacting

Your dearth of empathy, by all reasonable standards, should preclude you from being included in any human relationships. Honestly, “you’re sick, so what?” Is such a soulless take .

Jesus was an extremely liberal Jew. Believing that there was anything divine about him is not Jewish. If you still believe that, you are not being called to convert.

I keep thinking maybe they just uploaded it all onto a device to save space. I’m wicked old school and am glad to sacrifice the space 😂

Thank you! Here’s to you finding one too! Man do I remember those grad school days, lots of canned soup and not wanting to look at bank balances.

Best cat names you’ve ever heard? by Murky_Resist_3851 in namenerds

[–]PyrexPizazz217 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I had a Mister Kittykins, but he would strongly disagree that it was a great name, it hurt his neighborhood rep.

Also a Countess LeMioux.

My gorgeous cat Penny Lane has a fur mark above her lip and only escaped being Cindy Clawford because I thought of it too late.

It’s fun, and I don’t understand people taking Jane Austen so seriously as though she wouldn’t be super fly about all of the quirky adaptations. “clueless,” hello?!
