my stomach is tore up. that's how you say it here in the south. tore up. it's anxiety. last night I had nightmares about the poetry presentation I have to give today, and I think I have to miss my last Algebra class because I shouldn't stray far from the toilet.

I feel awful. :(

ugh, I really need to go to that Algebra class.

send good thoughts?

also, mom felt the need to send me an email news article about 100 Orthodox rabbis and their same-sex declaration (hint: they're not for it). so it's like she's poking my religion and my queerness at the same time? not that I'm Orthodox. But mom seems to think that Orthodox Judaism is the best Judaism and ... idk how to explain it. I want to cry.

Go to the algebra class. It will calm you down to be excellent at algebra one more time.

Then go kick e.e. cummings' tuchus.


Oh, and, by the way, that 100 rabbi letter was almost certain a response to the first Orthodox rabbi officiating at a same-sex marriage, which, as you know, Reform, Reconstructionist and Conservative rabbis have all been doing for awhile. But I'm glad your mom wants you to be Orthodox--she won't mind when you kasher her kitchen with a blowtorch.

Josh Yuter, also ordained Orthodox, sees some hypocrisy in that 100 rabbi letter as he explains here.
