also 40s/50s

the secret to organising any kind of trip with your friends is to become the benevolent dictator. do NOT wait for everyone to provide a consensus on things before you book anything. do it and then ask for feedback after. do not ask people what they would like to do just tell them what is happening and let them all nod along like the sheep they are. this is the ONLY way to coordinate a group of adults in their 20s/30s

I love this so much 😭

This is also my favourite part (tbh every part of the video is my favourite, who am I kidding, I just love all of it). So sparkly, such pretty colours (aahhh the way the blue and the red - Stolas and Blitz’s colours - blend together).

The way he desperately reaches for the moon, and then falls. The way he sinks and cries underwater - and still keeps reaching. 😭

Why does a silly show about demons make me so emotional.

"Like a bunch of other queer Jews I learnt about the importance of community and chosen family from growing up Jewish, years before I encountered these ideas in a queer context. I’m an only child and my parents moved us to England from the US when I was eight, leaving my extended family on the other side of an ocean. The friends my parents made in the Jewish community became family to me. In the queer community we often talk about the importance of standing together, and looking out for people who are marginalised within our community. That attitude is something that I see practised by my Jewish friends and family and is something that makes being Jewish so, so important to me. When people are dismissive of “organised religion” or claim that as a society we’d be better off without delineating ourselves into religious groups I can’t help but think about how being Jewish has made me a more empathetic and caring person than I might have otherwise been."

You don't understand HOW MUCH IT MEANS TO ME THAT BLITZ ADMITTED THIS. HE JUST STRAIGHT UP BASICALLY ADMITTED TO MILLIE THAT HE HAD ACTUAL FEELINGS FOR STOLAS.

“How much do you use adjustment layers” hopefully these are slow enough! I don’t want to hurt eyes. But really, love those adjustment layers. Invite them to dinner. Woo them and learn their secrets.

I keep toying with writing this, because words are hard and I'm not sure how to fully articulate this thought.

However, it's something I've sensed very deeply and I think it's important to start trying to talk about.

Much has been said about how traumatic Oct. 7th was for Israelis and really Jews the world over, and lots has been said about why that was - from the fact that it happened on what was supposed to be a joyous holiday, the fact that this violence was as barbarous and sadistic as it was, the fact that it drew on deep historical wells of intergenerational trauma, to the fact that it was met with immediate denial, betrayal, and even celebration from supposedly progressive goyim - but something I have not seen much discussion on is how that ongoing denialism and even celebration of the carnage made sure that the trauma stuck.

See the thing is that one of the best predictors of favorable recovery outcomes from trauma is the support the victim receives, especially in the immediate aftermath. Victims with strong support networks, who are believed and whose grievances are taken seriously, recover much faster and much more holistically even from objectively worse traumas than victims who lack support and/or whose traumatic experiences are denied or dismissed. Seems obvious enough, right? That's why advocates for survivors exhort communities to listen to survivors and victims, and to hold space for them. We know what happens when that support is denied.

In some ways, the Jewish people is like a horrible case study in what happens when that denial of support happens - not just on a large scale, but over the course of time through numerous generations. In every generation they come for us, and every generation has the opportunity to step up. And so far, every generation has failed the task. (There are of course, some wonderful individuals who do step up; however they are the exception that proves the rule.)

The sadistic celebration of atrocities committed against Israelis and the denialism were not just unpleasant side concerns - these were active components of the violence.

The bottom line is this: if you deny the atrocities of Oct. 7th and the ongoing hostage crisis or try to excuse or downplay them, you are actively participating in violence against us.

And yes, of course these atrocities do not justify atrocities in return. Yes, of course confirming facts is important. But I think a big part of why we can't "just move on" to talk about other atrocities is because you people have never acknowledged our pain or let us grieve or be human. Not once. And the longer that goes on, the deeper the wound and the longer the road to healing from this trauma gets.

Don't allow others to consume you. If they don't call, go to sleep. If they don't message you, put away your phone & have a good day. If they are distant and refuse to tell you what's wrong, go home and do something fun. You live for yourself first. They are secondary.

"Although many do so in ignorance, when people chant “from the river to the sea” the most natural interpretation of their calls is advocacy for territory without Israel, without Jews.

"Israel is the only country in the world that is routinely and widely targeted for eradication. So is anti-Zionism synonymous with antisemitism?

"There are exceptions, but the overlap is striking. I have never heard of activists who are angry with China targeting Chinese restaurants in Paris, but when Hamas terrorists were recently arrested in Europe with plans to blow up Jewish institutions, they were not targeting Israel, but Jews. If someone is angry at Israel, they target Jewish synagogues, businesses, and restaurants — anything associated with Jews, anywhere in the world — no matter their relationship to Israel."

Being the vessel is not complacency, it is song creation.

The only thing that causes one being to be different from the other is the make-up of the vessel the Nameless passes through. Each human, each animal, each living thing an instrument of the Divine expressing itself. There are songs that are deep and chocolatey, velvet and darkness. There are sweet melodies of joy and bright greens with cherry blossoms. And there are twisted discords - frightening, grotesque and disturbed. The Holy songs that come to us through the flora, fauna and foliage are more true to the source. Less corrupted by minds and souls that are shaped by a constant desire to Have More. This is why avoiding the self-inflicted disconnect through overconsumption, blind consumerism and masks - instead aspiring to live a simple and true life - will nurture a heart that sings in perfect harmony to the universal song of the Divine.

If you think:

- the Magen David (star of David) is a hate symbol

- the Shema (which begins with “Shema Yisrael” or “Hear, o Israel”), the primary Jewish declaration of its religious theology, is Zionist

- that using Hebrew makes someone “sus”

- that Jews that are visibly Jewish due to their jewelry or dress should just “stop wearing things that make it obvious” for their safety

- that it is acceptable to protest or threaten a Jewish synagogue, school, or community center. . .

You can keep your “Happy Hanukkahs” to yourself. They’re empty, meaningless, and frankly offensive.
