“The only clear line I draw these days is this: when my religion tries to come between me and my neighbor, I will choose my neighbor… Jesus never commanded me to love my religion.”— Barbara Brown Taylor, Holy Envy
“When I was a student in yeshiva, I asked one of the rabbis why Jews talk so much. We were studying Talmud, and I was trying to understand the comprehensive, obsessive inquiry into questions from the minuscule and seemingly pedestrian–are the water cisterns adjacent to a house included in the price of its sale?–to the transcendent, like what is the nature of God. “Jewish time is circular, so we work to make things perfect for the next time around,” he replied, before adding world-wearily: “Also, we don’t believe in perfection.””— Alana Newhouse, NYT Book Review of Stranger in a Strange Land by George Prochnik (via spikenards)

Eyewitness testimony: Science v Court
Note that eyewitness testimony is, by far, the weakest form of evidence that a person can present in support of a claim. In spite of its high value in the court of law, in the “court” of science, eyewitness testimony is essentially useless. Psychologists have known for quite some time how ineffective the human senses are as data taking devices. Note that the pedigree of the observer is irrelevant here - as long as he or she is human, the fallibility of observation is manifest.

Hey everyone
I’ve already finished a third part to this story. They’re all very short pieces, making it easy to write a few quick stories in a row.
Like I said last time. From here on the story is pure fiction and no longer based on my friend’s memories. (not saying anything about her fantasies of course)
Drawcember day 4! The Witness <3
Hecking amazing show that I started watching early in 2020. It’s nice to reflect back on it because it was soooooo stylistic and well done! Though if I ask people what their favorite episode in the series was I always get mixed replies hahaha. Everything so unique!
