[the-catboy-minyan]

due to a certain asshole spewing bullshit in spacelazarwolf's notes, I wanna emphasize something:

YOU DON'T HAVE TO KNOW HEBREW TO BE JEWISH

YOU DON'T HAVE TO LEARN HEBREW TO BE JEWISH

YOU DON'T HAVE TO WANT TO LEARN HEBREW TO BE JEWISH

the only thing you need to be Jewish is to be Jewish. a Jew is a Jew.

(this message does not include messianic jews)

I'm honestly not sure what prompted me to realize this (it is not seasonal for either song lol) but today I connected a hymn from my childhood with the Judaism of my adulthood.

Namely, one of the most sacred moments I remember from my Christian upbringing was how every year on Christmas Eve, when O Holy Night was sung, the verse "Fall on your knees! O hear the angel voices!" would nearly bring me to tears. It felt like my soul was being pulled into prostration before the numinous Divine by the notes of the song.

Now, as a Jewish adult, I realized that the music that grips my neshama like a vice and actually literally pulls me into prostration is the grand Aleinu on Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur. These are probably the most sacred moments of the year for me, and here again, the music lifts my soul even as it forces me to my knees in vulnerability and yirat hashamayim.

Interestingly, I feel a similar connection from how it made me feel when my church would sing Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty, especially the verse about the angels falling down before God, and singing the Kedushah on Shabbos as an adult at my shul. These are much smaller, more common moments, but no less sacred despite that.

And this is not to necessarily compare these moments or equate them for anyone else, but rather to notice a common thread of my soul standing in the presence of the Divine, like a pinhole through time. A link between my past, present, and future selves as I have grown and changed and evolved, and yet still, still, there are sacred songs that awaken my soul to the Divine Presence and draw me into a posture of avodah, ahava, and yirah.

Autistic Visual Thinking

Have to adapt to predominantly verbal communication culture in society

Convert verbal language into imagery to understand communication

May find it more difficult to organize visual thoughts when under pressure

Verbal language processing requires effort

May struggle with long sequences of verbal information

Need processing time to conceptualize visually what is being said verbally, then actively creating a verbal response

Visual thinking has a component-see things that others miss

Minds that are like oceans of images

Make rapid fire associations

Numbers and algebra can be abstract

Word based thinking can be a second language too

Details jump forward-notice things that seem off kilter immediately on entering a space

Can be late talkers

Deconstructing to learn

See images in their eyes mind

Struggle with traditional teaching method

Problem solvers

Photorealistic images - Cinematic - Short Films

Often doesn't require directions when traveling

May thrive in practical based activities

Look at the world from another persons point of view

Society not created for Visual thinkers

Incase anyone wants to know the levels of character brainrot I'm currently at:

I was digging through my art box and found a pot of ink paired with actual pen nibs, alongside a leather fantasy book (which I've apparently had for several years and completely forgot about). I immediately decided to recreate all of Jayce's journal entries in real life.

May I ask, did you have a crush on Sunny even back when he had a crush on Aubrey? :O

also how jealous did you get- 🤭

Kind of, I guess? I didn't actually know it was a crush at that time though, before I told Mari about it when we were alone.

And.. I tried my best not to get jealous, I think I've nailed it.. I was just happy with him, and if he'd get with Aubrey, I'd still be happy for him.. For both of them, even!

True love is when you're happy for your crush no matter what.. And if you see them have their own love with someone else, then you should stay happy for them anyway and wish them the best..

If you'll be mad at them and curse them or anything like that.. That'll just make you selfish..

.. Atleast, that's what I go for. As long as Sunny's well and happy, I'm happy for him.

Started reading The Vampire Armand to help me understand the backstory for a fic I've been planning.

I knew what was coming. I'd read the summary. I was warned by so many fans, but still...this is one of the saddest fucking works of fiction I've read in a long time...and I'm only on chapter three.

[bayonettas-tits]

Does anyone have Japanese visual novels they recommend? Asking because I'm in the process of learning the language.

[preservationofnormalcy]

Is there any offices similar to OPN outside of the US?

Sure is! In North America there’s our big sister organization the Royal Canadian Office for the Esoteric, and Mexico’s Secretariat of Extranormal Resources. In Britain it’s His Majesty’s Esoteric Services. Many other countries have their own, depending on the region. The European Thaumaturgical Centre for Research and Analysis (ETCetRA) also does a lot more hands on work in Europe than it does here, as you might imagine from the name.

Cons of knowing multiple languages when writing a story/script is when a sentence has more impact in a language that's not in the language you're writing in does that make sense????
