#Rosh Hashannah

[jewreallythinkthat]

I don't know how to explain the feeling of hearing the shofar, something my ancestors heard millenia ago and a tradition which has persevered despite uncountable attempts to end us. I hear the sound in my bones. This is our tradition and we will never let it go

Blazblue characters ranked by me, a Jewish person regarding how Jewish they are. I accept no criticism.

Ooooooo I REALLY hate vocal fry. I am physiologically incapable of being friends with anyone who speaks with vocal fry.

In the homeschool co-ops I went to, class sizes were about half the size of what they are in public schools. We didn't meet every day, and the homework was mostly filling in the gaps for stuff we didn't have the time to schedule into the classes. We had a lot of science labs and a lot of discussion in English, which people actually participated in.

We also didn't strictly segregate by age. I was in class with people 3 or 4 years older or younger than me. I was friends with people 3 or 4 years older or younger than me. That was normal.

Most of the people there were Jews, Unitarians, Episcopal, or secular cultural Christians. We had one family who were devout Christians who didn't believe in evolution, and everyone thought they were weird as hell and didn't teach to their standards. Part of why my mom homeschooled was that when my older sister was in kindergarten she couldn't get it through the teacher's head that my sister would not be coming in on Rosh Hashannah.

I got extremely sick when I was 14, and it took me a year to recover. I did half as much work the next year, so I was able to physically recover. None of my teachers ever gave me shit about using the bathroom; I don't recall even ever asking permission to go.

It wasn't perfect; there were definitely times when my neurodivergence wasn't well accommodated, and I still got into trouble for talking back to the teachers. But if you'd put me into a public high school, I sincerely doubt I would have survived, and I 100% would not have graduated. And I was able to be reasonably well accommodated without getting a formal autism diagnosis that would hinder me as an adult.

the stereotype of the homeschooler who doesn't know social cues and has no friends is one I've been hearing since I could walk. I was homeschooled because I was AutHD, not the other way around. Correlation is not causation.

And I firmly believe that right now, banning homeschooling is just going to end up failing millions of disabled, neurodivergent, and minority kids. We need to massively overhaul the public school system instead of taking away the best outlet kids like me have.

After Rosh Hashannah dinner with my Grandparents last night, I opened Tumblr to check on what shit everyone was up to.

And what was the top fucking post on my recommended? A post GLORIFYING HEZBOLLAH saying that “the resistance will never fall”.

How much longer will we have to experience this? Almost a year after October 7th, during the high holidays, when we are supposed to be celebrating and mourning, we get shit like this. I am sick to fucking death of these so called “humanitarians” cheering on fucking terrorists. I am sick to death of these idiots calling for our death. Yet I am sure tumblr, the arseholes who run this hellsite (derogatory) are, won’t do anything about it.

It will never cease to amaze me how absolutely appalling the behaviour we have experienced over the past year has been, but it makes me especially angry how it has almost been normalised. People cheering on actual genocidal maniacs who have become a massive threat to global stability (THE IRGC, Hezbollah, Hamas etc), people who have killed more of their own people than they have Israelis.

In the city where I live in, on the anniversary of October 7th, there will be a massive rally celebrating the massacre, where people will be waving flags of terrorists and chanting for our destruction. A day when we are going to be mourning. It is disgusting how this behaviour is being accepted, and how this won’t be stopped. The Nazis would be proud of the rest of the world.

But you know what else makes me angry? The responses we are getting from other Jewish people telling us to just lay low and to hide who we are, effectively oppressing ourselves. No, I will never be silenced for being Jewish and being opposed to terrorists. I will not hide who I am because it is unsafe. Over 6 million of us were killed because we couldn’t stand up for ourselves, I will not let that happen again.

I ask all Jews, do not oppress yourselves, do not conform to what the mainstream tells you to do. And especially, do not let this shit keep sliding. Do not let antisemites tell us what to do. As the saying goes: “the antisemite doesn’t enjoy accusing the Jew of being guilty, the antisemite enjoys the Jew turning out his pockets to prove his innocence”.

If I have to make a post like this in a year’s time, I will ensure that one day the world will experience true Jewish anger, all 2500 years of our trauma unleashed.

Some will be angry at my little rant here, and I couldn’t give two fucks about it.

The Northeast states watching out for each other, but they're subtle about it. Like dropping off a cup of coffee, but if someone comments on it, they'll brush it off like it's no big deal

oh no its much worse.

the northeast but they're trying to be subtle and desperately failing bc they're all as dense and emotionally constipated as the other.

cut drops off coffee for york. york immediately assumes he's laced it with poison bc they are peak sibling core. they argue intensely, during which cut insists if he needed to kill york he would be MUCH more physical and he has not poisoned the coffee (he had laced it with sleeping pills bc 'the city that never sleeps' turns out not to be an exaggeration.

cut spends the next few hours complaining to new hammy about it. hammy's eye twitches the whole time as he recollects last week, when he did the exact same thing to cut and they had the exact same argument. ur honour they're not beating the 'exact same person in different shirts' allegations.

in fact, many of them can recite, word for word, the exact schpiel jersey goes through every time someone asks for ingredients from his garden. oh my god i hate you get a job why are you always mooching off me. what the fuck do you mean you'll go to a grocery you're taking things from my garden. ill bring them over myself. idiot.

there's just a silent agreement that there's no alcohol allowed at parties anymore bc after Pa's like 9th attempt at sobriety they all had a big think ab where the problems were stemming from and that was the best thing they could think up.

because i am a heavy believer in jewish ne supremacy there is a wonderful period between rosh hashannah and yom kippur when they're all putting in the best effort to be nice to each other which immediately dissolves the second they have to try and decide who gets to use the shofar. they may not be able to physically fight today, but trust the grudge will be remembered.

the level of PTSD and just general issues within that group must be so intense but because they are emotionally represed. they just. arent allowed to talk about it. someone could be having a full breakdown but u r a member of the northeast and you should just let ur heart break inside and never ever talk about it because it would be Awful and Wrong

however. what u can do. is watch sport together in silence. maybe you'll even say 'good game' at the end by be careful of that one because its basically a confession of ur endless fraternal support, wouldn't want to get too deep would we.

and ur only allowed to talk about ur problems through jokes. haha yeah i still see faces of war in my sleep. haha yeah i cant cope w the guilt anymore. hehe.

so to answer your ultimate question, the most pain you can experience is not even your own, but that of ur brother when he drowns and you are not allowed to save him. but anyway.

That’s a great question, actually! Rosh Hashannah is definitely up there, but I rather like Tu B’shevat.
