Six-Word Saturday: 15 Tammuz, 5771

Why the weird dates? Click here to find out! 

Follower fifty-two, please come back!!!

I guess that’s where hubris gets you… up until yesterday, I had fifty-TWO followers; now, one is gone.

Which means one person was offended by… (let’s see – what did I post yesterday?) my post about Gavriel Zev’s encounter with the man in the bank.  Or maybe they didn’t like the Shabbos menu?

Whatever it was, if you were Follower Fifty-Two, please leave a comment telling me what I did wrong?  I will do almost anything to win back your love!

  1. I wonder that too if someone leaves if maybe I haven't been writing up to snuff or something. Wow though I don't even have 50 followers if ever that day should come I'll have a party lol

This box:   I stared at this box for a long, long time. And then I decided not to check it. Even though I believe people like me truly are underrepresented, we probably wouldn’t fit the definition in other people's minds. Why? Well, because we're European. Because we are white. Because as everybody knows, Jews control the media. (do we???) If anything, some people say, Jews are over -represented in publishing. And yet. Some definitions are careful not to include people like me. Like this random definition from the State of California which defines underrepresented for some very specific business purposes as: "an individual who self-identifies as Black, African American, Hispanic, Latino, Asian, Pacific Islander, Native American, Native Hawaiian, or Alaska Native, or who self-identi
