I Rly Like Clozemaster! It Was Recommended To Me And I Felt Like I Was Learning Actual Plausible Dialogue

tbh this has been my experience trying to observe shabbat more traditionally so far lmao. we tear so many things!! (toilet paper & packaging are the biggest ones...)

regardless, has been quite fulfilling thus far :D

i didnt forget to update earlier, what are you talking about-

SUCCESS idk how i pulled that off but my first ever pesakh with two seders has indeed happened!! nothing caught fire either b"h

i am gonna *try* to do a solo seder for the first night of pesakh, since i go to my family's on the second night. . . wish me luck!! i definitely procrastinated too close to the sun and am panicking but i think that is a fairly common jewish experience lmao

hopefully i dont burn the house down trying to figure out a pre-existing flame for chag pesakh candles!

this take on the Binding of Isaac is quite insightful I think; it maintains the traditional interpretation of the story as an act of supreme trust while subverting the idea that unjust actions for the sake of God are morally correct. (i apologise for lack of ALT text it's quite long and I couldn't copy-paste)

dont forget!!

If you’re Jewish, 18 or older, and live in the United States, vote tonight or tomorrow in the World Zionist Congress.

After tomorrow, there won’t be another election for 5 years, so do the voting now.

Before you say “religion”...

Take a moment and ask yourself a few questions:

- Do you mean just 1 religion? 

- Do you know enough about the all worlds religions to make a potentially harmful generalization about all of them?

- Are you making assumptions about other religions based off of your experience with one religion?

- Are you making assumptions about other religions and cultures based on your limited experience with a single person or group of people from said religion or culture?

- Are you taking out your valid frustrating, anger, hurt, and pain with one religious group on people who have nothing to do with it by making a generalization?

If you don’t actually mean the every single one of the vast, diverse, multi-faceted religions in the world, don’t make a blanket statement and list the one(s) you mean specifically. This also goes for using ‘grouping’ labels that do not apply, like Abrahamic, etc. 

so many people arent ready for this one. . .

the thing about the R slur is i do think its technically reclaimable- if youre a person with an intelectual disability, disagnosed learning difficulty, downs syndrome, or anything else that wouldve been historically categorized under that label and you want to say "fuck it, i am that label, i'm gonna own it" then like. fine, thats your prerogative. you'll probably get some weird looks but i don't think anybody can police what you call yourself. the problem is literally every instance ive seen of someone 'reclaiming' the R slur has been using it to insult someone else and then pulling the "im allowed to say it because i'm neurospicy" card and like. thats not how this works. thats not how any of this works.

woah!! a silly jewish bug!! that's so cool

thank u! yes!! hello there moka :D

Goyim who think that you can tell whether someone is Sephardi/Ashkenazi/Mizrachi/other based on skin tone shut the fuck up about jewish culture and community dynamics challenge

Handwritten in white above and below the flowers is the same text in Yiddish in the alef-beys, in romanisation, and then in English. The text reads: "מיר וועלן זיי איבערלעבן", "Mir veln zey iberlebn", and "We will outlive them". /end description
