February 23, 2010. Posted by qvashty in OJ schooling. 8221; The irony that this code word referred to non-kosher packaged food was lost on everyone, and “u-oh, Spaghettio! 8221; it was to be. Of course no one ever used it, and loshon horah is the matzah u-maror of of OJ girls and women, if I do say so myself. This certainly encouraged us to change our underwear under the bedsheets for modesty’s sake. And we learned that embarrassing someone is akin to murder. 1 sarah - February 23, 2010.

Aimee and Jaguar | Vashtyism
https://vashty.wordpress.com/2009/12/06/aimee-and-jaguar
December 6, 2009. Posted by qvashty in Holocaust. The story is somewhat unnecessarily framed by an elderly Frau Wurst entering her old-age home for the first time, in the lovely surroundings of which she meets up with her former servant who, as Felice’s protector and jilted lover, had strongly disapproved of the love affair which could only lead to Felice’s ruin. But no grudges are held and it seems the two will be friends in old age. And move on to my next point. Well, that’s my damage, a sort of ...

Run on the Big Evil Banks. December 24, 2010. Posted by qvashty in politics. I have been too busy with work and worry to write anything in a long time. What is happening to the economy has been particularly upsetting to me both as a well-informed intellectual type and as a person whose family is suffering the consequences. But there is one thing that you have the power to do about it, even when Obama and your Senators have sold you out to the billionaires. Overdraft on occasion, but they don’t char...

http://hasidic-feminist.blogspot.com/2012/03/explosive-court-documents-undercut-core.html
Tuesday, March 6, 2012. Explosive: Court Documents Undercut Core of New Best Selling Book. Explosive: Court Documents Undercut Core of New Best Selling Book. Court documents dated late 2003 which followed a custody request, challenge the authenticity of the recently best-selling memoir, “Unorthodox,” which was authored by Ms. Deborah Feldman. Well, the reasons for this omission are surprising:. 3) Most explosive of all are court papers dating back to late 2003, signed by now-former Judge the Honorable Pa...

https://vashty.wordpress.com/2009/12/15/details-the-rise-of-the-hot-jewish-girl
Details: The Rise of the Hot Jewish Girl. December 15, 2009. Posted by qvashty in feminism/gender. I posted a while back on Jewish sexuality in America and how I thought Jewish women have been desexualized here. I came across an article which disagrees. Here it is. Since I posted on Jewish sexuality, my WordPress stats have shown me that I do get the occasional visit from people whose internet searches are apparently for Jewish porn. December 15, 2009. By far the best part of that article:. Unpious: News...

Vashtyism
https://vashty.wordpress.com/2011/05/05/305
May 5, 2011. Posted by qvashty in Uncategorized. May Day, 1909. Does anyone else from an Orthodox background feel as if the best parts of a modern Jewish identity were hidden from us? Or, as one of my friends put it, as if we were robbed of it? I’m not a big fan of identity in the first place, but I’m old enough to know how seriously people take it, and the concept creeps deeper and deeper into me despite my rejection of it. An Arab friend of mine being asked with surprise: “. Here’s my fantasy:. This wo...

Escaping the Past in the Internet Age. February 20, 2010. Posted by qvashty in pop culture. Apologies for my recent absence. I have been very busy with work, and not had much to say. In the meantime I have made several donations to the Haiti relief effort. But now I do have something to say! Dear Ms. [Hyphenated-Last-Name],. But there is no apparent end in sight to these things. I would absolutely love to hear how other people deal with unpleasant past lives tapping them on their virtual shoulders al...
