    Story time. Here’s a fun thread about my first time. (Recycled from the other place.) ————— The Netflix series ‘Unorthodox’ got me thinking about this. The first guy I ever had sex with was Jewish.

    Defiance notes cont: - Yu is special. I don’t know if he’ll translate to mls but he deserves a look. Unorthodox but so fun. - DeRo continues to show ability to find dangerous spots. Wasn’t super effective defensively but appreciated effort.

    You know the generational bargain is corrupted when couples with kids can’t buy a first home. Maybe bigamy is the solution. Unorthodox solutions appear all we have. Suggest new reality tv series: first homebuyers want a throuple. theconversation.com/buying-with-...

    After watching ‘Unorthodox’ on Netflix, which I highly recommend, it’s possible that he was even from the same Satmar community as the characters in the show. If not, he was from a community nearly identical.

    What did you think about the Netflix show Unorthodox? I heard it was groundbreaking in that it was in Yiddish, with folks from communities like the ones portrayed

    Have you read my paranormal horror series? Unorthodox P.I. Bradshaw uses the services of dead spirits to help solve crimes. My new book, "The Dead Hour," is available now. But start at the beginning with "The Dead Talk." #writingcommunity #lgbt #writerslift #booktok www.amazon.com/stores/Thoma...

    It’s almost funny, since LARPing as a Jew is the least Jewish thing you can do and almost immediately outs you. But I found this profoundly fucked up, especially given the success of that series “Unorthodox” in certain circles.

    Nice piece in the JN, I spent more than seven years working at, covering ActionAI, a startup I have been working with in recent months. It is run by Miriam Haart, star of Netflix Show My Unorthodox Life, and Shai Dekel, former head of AI at Wix. Have a read! www.jewishnews.co.uk/unorthodox-a...

    The next time religious sorts show up at my door, I'm going to tell 'em I'm an Unorthodox Druid, too unorthodox for regular Druids. Then I'll invite them to commune with my Holy Hedge out by the driveway.

    Much like Unorthodox Applications, I've been peppering in a few moments here and there since Void-Like Dark, Darkless Void to show that the idea of pushing back the Hive was important to Xora and her anxiety around whether or not everything the group is doing capital-M Matters.

    I’m almost certain this is going to be a tie-in to some late 90’s Japanese talk show or something. “Akira’s Unorthodox Golf Adventures!”

    Lucifer actor, Tom Ellis, is in a new series, CIA. Unorthodox operative paired with a laced up FBI agent to solve crime. Very rehash of 70's US cop shows. OK if you've got nothing better to watch.

    It starts, of course, with her remembering the black-sand beaches of the blastlands, which she's brought up before all the way back in Unorthodox Applications. Nothing too complex, the entire idea is just to show what "normal" looked like before everything was upended. Standard stuff.

    Deborah Feldman is an American-German Jew; the Netflix series Unorthodox is based on her life. 2 weeks ago she spoke eloquently on a well known talk show in DE, unequivocally stating that the lesson of the Holocaust is human rights for all. Watch w/ EN subtitles twitter.com/i/status/172...

    I somehow managed to make it almost a full week without realizing that season 2 of My #Unorthodox Life is available to watch, and I really wish I had been kept blissfully ignorant just a bit longer. But now I'll have to binge it - next week, after I spend the weekend with my sister. Maybe I'll record myself watching it this time and edit it into a commentary. Probably not, tbh. UGH I wish I didn't have to give it views. But I have to watch in order to comment and dissect its horribleness.

    Apparently people like my romantasy recommendations, so here’s a couple more: Rachel Gillig, The Shepherd King series and Julie Kagawa The Iron Fey series (teen fantasy). If you like Jim Butcher (Dresden Files), check out his son James J. Butcher (The Unorthodox Chronicles).

    -the regulator usage in the city in some way. Unorthodox & somewhat goes against her ethos as a ninja to put on a show, but hey. If it works, it works. Lucien, meanwhile, worried about his sister's safety as an Echoless fighter. He was never someone who fought for fun, but he wasn't going to let-

    What an amazing gig it was - sorry for the delay telling you lol... I play a lot of your tracks on my show The Unorthodox Jukebox (mixcloud.com/Miss_Genius). It's on Transradiouk.com, a radio station run by mostly trans girls/guys. There are a lot of rock fans and a few dedicated rock shows. :)
