She considers herself a post denominational rabbi and practices Judaism from a feminist perspective with a Buddhist touch.

Tamara grew up in a Jewish congregation without God and was mentored by Rabbi Sherwin T. Wine, a radical and renowned rabbi. Ultimately, she became his successor as the senior rabbi of The Birmingham Temple in Michigan.

She is the mother of two teenage children, Maya and Lior, and recently celebrated her twenty first wedding anniversary to her Israeli born husband, Isaac. They live with their two-year-old Havanese dog Finley, in Birmingham, Michigan.

Oranges for Eve, which explores how walking the way of the Feminine Divine is the true path to God, is her first book

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamara_Kolton

Rabbi Tamara Kolton is a spiritual teacher and psychologist in Detroit, Michigan, USA. Her psychology practice integrates spiritual practices with clinical psychology. She is the first rabbi ordained in Humanistic Judaism.[1]

She was ordained in October 1999 at the International Institute for Secular Humanistic Judaism, having received her PhD in rabbinic studies in August 1999 from Birmingham Temple

Rabbi Kolton describes herself as a "Rabbi Beyond Denominations", drawing from best Jewish practices as well as great teachings from indigenous and Buddhist traditions.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birmingham_Temple

As being part of the Humanistic Judaism movement, the Birmingham Temple observes holidays, traditions and rituals focused on the humanistic and cultural aspects of Judaism, rather than the religious aspects.

She literally invented her own religion and got a made-up PhD in it from one of its churches.

A religion whose founding belief is secular humanism.

Kinda just speaks for itself

A spokesperson for the Archdiocese of Miami told WPLG Morffi broke the contract she signed when she began teaching at a Catholic school. Her contract contained a moral turpitude clause.

seems fair if she broke it

I'd normally agree, but even a contract can't legally bind you to do something illegal and I can't help but feel that this borders on a violation of her rights somehow.

I assume you mean a contract can't deprive you of freedom of speech

And you'd be wrong

Turns out GameStop accepts consoles as long as they power on. Gave me $220 for my Pro. Got an X1X because I'm sure as hell not buying another PS4 after having it break twice in one year
---

Physician [Internal Medicine]

There may be hope. Apparently the Pro is notorious for having its HDCP fucked up by the PSVR passthrough. Thing is, even when I directly connect the system to the TV and turn on Safe Mode, there's no picture, but the TV does recognize that a signal is coming through. Says "mode not supported"

The story that begins the bible, the first one that we learn in Sunday school, the founding story of man and woman upheld for thousands of years by Judeo-Christian religion, is actually the story of the first sexual assault of a woman. The womans name is Eve. And the perpetrator? God

The left node is called Virchow's Node, and because of how the lymphatic system drains anatomically, it's connected to several sources of cancer.

at worst, it is whitewashing, a racist casting practice which has its roots in minstrelsy.

That's called a supraclavicular lymph node. Honestly there are so many causes of lymphadenopathy (swollen nodes) that I can't really say much one way or another. If it were on the left side, it'd be more concerning.

On the bright side, I play my Switch far more often and as far as I'm concerned is the better console

I've owned this piece of shit for 14 months and it has already broken twice.

They're claiming I need to pay $150 to have it repaired this time. Hey Sony, fuck you. I'm just gonna stick with my Switch, then. This PS4 Pro was a terrible purchase anyway. Thing ran as hot as satan's anus and as loud as a freight train anyway.

Yep, think of hyperthyroidism as being like your metabolism going nuts and your sympathetic nervous system is kinda unchecked, so you get dry mouth, dry skin, fast heart rate, anxiety, sweating, decreased appetite, etc.
---

Physician [Internal Medicine]

It sounds like you might have had thyroiditis, honestly. You tend to get transient symptoms of hyperthyroidism as well (the hot flashes, racing heart, muscle aches, etc)

Sometimes a swollen, painful thyroid is due to thyroiditis. That's almost always viral and goes away.
---

Physician [Internal Medicine]

So a few questions, if you don't mind.

Pain Questions:

1. Was the neck pain localized to one spot or was it sort of a diffuse pain
2. Did anything make the pain better or worse?
3. How would you describe it?

Did you notice any other symptoms? Heart racing? Hot flashes? Sweating? Weight loss for no reason?

Have you had other swollen lymph nodes? Tonsils?

Have you had Mono before?
---

Physician [Internal Medicine]

Did they scan a lymph node or your thyroid?
---

Physician [Internal Medicine]

To be fair ultrasounds are nonspecific for thyroid issues. They may want to do a fine needle aspiration or something.
---

Physician [Internal Medicine]

Usually it means there was some concerning finding, though not always. Usually a completely normal scan just warrants a phone call

I seriously doubt Trump or Melania are at all religious. Let alone fundamental enough for exorcisms.

Your take on the problem with the story is Trump being religious over Obama leaving demonic idols all over the White House...o...k...

The hell kind of straw man argument is that?

The whole article is insane, but the he thought of Trump being anointed with oil struck me as particularly lol worthy.

My second call was to American Express' Platinum & Centurion Card Services to express my concern and they immediately empathized with what occurred and made a notation for this partner on their travel site.



Of course they empathized with a rich asshole. You don't tell off your snooty clientele, even if you're just being a huge ass.
