I saw a name in the graveyard that I knew
Whether because of the heat or my period, I got almost no sleep last night and what sleep I did get was full of incredibly unpleasant nightmares of the kind that do not even make good stories: someone poisoned our cats, I was accused of blood libel and it was taken seriously as a criminal charge, I went to an amusement park and there was a terrible accident and people around me died. Literally the first piece of news I saw when I checked Facebook to see whether the planet had exploded while I was asleep was this story about Jewish pride flags being equated with support for Israel and removed from a Pride event in Chicago. At least I know Autolycus and Hestia are alive and well because I woke up with one of them walking back and forth across my face and the other mewing clearly that no one had fed her in the history of ever.
spatch tells me the Coney Island Cyclone is turning ninety, so that's nice. The rest of my afternoon is supposed to be highly social; I'll settle for no nightmares, I hope.

It does not appear to be forthcoming.

Why do some so called left intellectuals (and I'm one myself) not seem capable of seeing that it's all anti semitism regardless of what the state of Israel might get up to?
My maternal great grandmother's family were butchered in Riga, Latvia some time in 1941 but that's okay because they were potential Zionists? Oh, per-lease!
Its like the idiots here who now see all Muslims as ISIS terrorists and that that give them the right to tear a headscarf from a woman's head.
Um, no!
