This woman is a source of unstoppable courage and strength. Showing up is hard. Owning your illness is hard. Doing that and being in the public spotlight is even harder.
I may run a frum blog, and I wouldn't normally go for celeb post that aren't related to tznius, but this is worth the share.
I struggle daily to present myself and make sure that I outshine my illness, and I only pray that I can be half the rockstar that Selma is.
Beyond that, Hashem should just bring Moshiach now so we can be rid of all these hardships and illnesses.
Selma Blair rocked a cane at the Oscar’s and I am so damn proud of the representation. She’s kicking ass for her first public appearance since her MS diagnosis.
Does there ever come a point in singledom where your heart doesn't feel like it got stabbed every time someone gets engaged? I hate that I feel that way, I am genuinely happy for those who got engaged, but man if it doesn't make me want to climb into bed and eat a bunch of chocolate and cry.
@ki-shoshana and I actually suck at this. We may actually have to start visiting kevers and gadolim for these brachos because... we are never gonna finish Nishmas.
🤦♀️🤷♀️😒
@ki-shoshana and I have been (haphazardly) trying to say nishmas kol chai for eachother for 40 days for a week now. We’re ready for the brachos whenever you are @Hashem.
i might be making wild generalizations here but i’ve noticed that whenever i’m on the phone with a more orthodox leaning jew, they tend to not say goodbye at the end of the call
is this a Thing and if so, why? again this might just be my weird experiences and it’s not actually a Thing
PSA: If you are Jewish and you need a menorah and candles, contact your nearest Chabad house and they will give you one for free or at most extremely cheap.
Hey, do you know that feeling of hitching up a long skirt so you don’t fall on your face when walking upstairs, and then you immediately become a wretched yet resolute Jane Austen character? It’s a universal thing, right?
