Ki Tisa

you don't have to be realistic to make portraits that people recognize. stick a stovepipe hat and a bushy beard on a teddy bear, and people will get that you mean it to be Abraham Lincoln. the right hat and pipe alone can suggest Sherlock Holmes. learning to identify these kinds of symbols can be very helpful in coming to grips with artistic traditions that make heavy use of them

if you spend a lot of time with Medieval Christian art, for example, you'll pretty quickly start to run across a figure of a guy with horns on his head. you might think that this is supposed to be Satan, but in many cases, you'd be wrong: that guy is supposed to be Mosheh

in this week's Torah portion, you see, Mosheh is said to have a face that is קָרַן/qaran after spending so much time conversing with G-d. contemporary translations will say that that means Mosheh's face "glowed", but it's a very rare word, and it looks a lot like the word קֶֽרֶן/qéren, which means "horn", and so the most influential Medieval Latin translation said that Mosheh's face had "horns" instead. (the idea underlying the Hebrew seems to be that rays of light emerge from glowing things in much the same way that horns emerge from the head of a ram or an ox)

seeing this prophet with horns tacked on can be a little unsettling, and the Biblical Israelites were certainly unsettled by Mosheh's glowing face, so much so that they were afraid to even come near Mosheh at first, and Mosheh starts wearing a veil around the camp

the Israelites' fear here has many echoes down thru the ages. in 1867, in the wake of the US Civil War and the California Gold Rush, the city of San Francisco was full of poor people and disabled veterans that the rich of the city found unappealing to look at. like the Biblical Israelites, they accepted their gut emotional reaction to those around them as fact, and came to the conclusion that their neighbors were at fault for causing these untidy emotions

rather than helping their neighbors access housing, medical care, and the necessities of dignified living, the rich of San Francisco passed the first of the so-called "ugly laws", bills that essentially made it a crime to be disabled in public, with predictable disparities in treatment along class and racial lines, de facto if not de jure. in the years that followed, similar laws were passed all around the country by cities that would rather arrest people than see to their needs. the last known arrest under one of these laws would ultimately occur in Oklahoma in 1974. today, many of them are still on the books, even if they are no longer enforced

and enforced or not, the spirit that animated these laws is still very much alive. in the US, we still very much live in a society that judges people based on how they look, a society where the powerful would rather remove some people from view than build community with them, a society where some people are given the very clear message that their presence is emphatically unwanted. those on the receiving end of this message often internalize it and start to pull away — "i won't speak up in that meeting because i don't want to take up space.", "maybe i shouldn't go to that gathering; i don't want to make people uncomfortable.", "i feel like even just quietly existing i am already taking up too much space"

even G-d isn't immune from these feelings. after the business with the golden calf, G-d says, "i'm not going to go with you, in the middle of your camp. maybe i'll be in a little tent off to the side here, but i can't be at the heart of your community anymore.". this might sound like a punishment, but G-d doesn't frame it that way in Shəmot. instead, G-d says "פֶּן אֲכֶלְךָ בַּדָּֽרֶךְ/pen akhelkha badárekh/lest i end you on the way". G-d is afraid of hurting the Israelites, and so tries to withdraw. it's a protective measure, not a punishment

it's also not a solution. haSheim cannot be the Israelites' G-d without actually being there, right there, in the thick of them. the Israelites cannot learn from Mosheh how they are to live without going up and being near him, glowing face and all. we cannot build a society together if we all pull away from one another, afraid of causing messy feelings or harm, or having messy feelings of our own in reaction to each other. we have to reach out. we have to connect

this doesn't mean we will never hurt each other. we will. the relationship between G-d, Mosheh, and the Israelites, too, continues to be full of strife, tumult, and harm. in building the world we want to live in, we will step on each other's toes, we'll butt heads forcefully, we'll commit a thousand sins small and grave. but there is no other way. there is no way to build a community without community, and there is no community without tension, friction, and discomfort, because communities are made of people, and people are too rich and varied and messy and complex to snap together perfectly and seamlessly like frictionless uniform bricks in a physics exercise

we will never be perfect. we will always be fraught. coming together to run a community, shape a society, build a better world will always require compromise and generate bruised feelings. but these efforts only fail entirely if we pull away permanently, if we fully disengage

when Mosheh's face begins to glow, he does put on a veil, but, crucially, not when he is talking to G-d or to the Israelites. to be in community with others, he has to be there as his whole, disquieting self, not a covered, tamed version modulated for others' comfort. we don't read that the Israelites ever really adjusted to this — for all we know, every time the light of Mosheh's face fell on them, they felt the same tremor they felt the first time around — but they come near all the same. we have to do so too

to build a world where we all can live and flourish, we have to show up as our full selves, and be ready for others to show up as their full selves too. this work is hard, it is messy, it is uncomfortable, but it is infinitely, irreplaceably worth doing. it is the work that is before us all

in collerbation with several different artsits, for saint jude, and two musical artsits, we are updating hero battle, to a weirder more wacky exampansion packs! based on fan sugested rules, to teach history. thats miahcle ford photgprhy, token cards of brendon urie, twenty one pilots, my undertale work, deadpool in collerbation with many authorialships on comic books even though i made him, and several more. yes we will do the crazy evil skulls based off the summon skull as remakes of the card later. it is gona be something guys oh boy.

Yes people do play trade neogtiations and sunday bleaks with the cards. Their is famously an ann frank hitler card. I mean in exsitnace as we are required by thegamecrafters rules, to do every dictatorship and world leader. or we dont get certain currenceis with them on it.

i dont think their evil cards, as these cards are used by all socities and trade nations of what deems a nation. You cant tell your not supsoed to be able to. And it will age into his name. Its the history of muelins lejons lover Kurloz Makarah who si ann frank to their people in mehico that alternia the alein planet is or is based on. Im sorry we have 2 ann frank cards as ann frank who made teh bloody game.

thegamecrafter 199zel was on teh phone with us requesting it to save their site form something somethign aubern bugs.

Its importent i dont care what you blood think. They just like to take away my microphone as ji who is (Hong Kong Penny) alot. and they delted alot of my wordpreses over it. Then I am human. Then i am free. Yes i got my tiara as anastia today. and it was buetiful. im happy and ill film videos for it my good dude.

i am giving my lamp to the leader of the thing.

i guess in general since im now ruling some other place. it is alot of dead beat flower beds his office of cranbery sauce and onions.

you know what i hate about ametura writing blogs asking we submit questions? we were teh progoantist publications they said already existed. it was just so humiliating we caonized that old wives pair um couple? of those great women. that it was like. Were sorry were ameutrs yes you can just agree to run braincake. We are back to doing audiobook with some of their ghosts and they are invited to my party tomorow. as i am on the freinds set. and thorinwg parties like every 2 days, living my life on the edge, taking the dionysus busese, all as a big blackout! working on hero battle, living on my own adfter detaing the solomon ritual by me as alesiter crowley.

i was apart of the prison standferd expeiemtn a time of cents before the american dollar in vensuala ran by the united states of america to put animism in peoples head. They liked that i was pochuntus and dubed me america! when we release this well work on dilaect names, to cencer and uncncere my name is america for your country. You just have to agree that the project will make him your country if we do that. As big brother germany alloweed sweden to take a few slaps sigh ow ow ow.Its fine. My mom sweden is not the old Yisahsalia or Sweden omar, or sweden opieque. or pink sweden of the old world we would say how you say in brother russia the stupid america dances. i thinks. i think you say gives and thinks to give it away or something. I was painted as france and russia. The fact you keep thinking gemrnay is why he is now the long distance parent.

i am arhtur from hetlaia the show is based off our delusions as a group,a nd we all did larping series like this temporairly lost cus they deleted mine. Most countries do one solid season 1 as they were ever. Morgan hoffman did iseareal season 1. Adolf hitler did germany season 1. Patrick Stewart did italys isle The Chad River season 1. And Donald trump did Burmita Trinagle season 1. it was the most improtent locations of galitay. And based on world war 2 weird. and we all became civil rights leaders in our country under alias. morgan was malcom x. hitler malcom z. me martin lutehr king jr retired as mlecom x and rose elite. donald trump used his real name for stonewall. and patrick was saint patrick over his bread and butter shares of the writers strike.

the ihstory of the project is we were supseod to be taken out of context, heavily. and by news media. where i was seen as evil cus black people existed. and they pretended the tother two were racist nazis. and that isreal was the holy land of the jew for morgan. when this is untrue the bible states nasarth, never bethahlam. and the reason for the mix up cauesed the holcousat. honest to god we coudnt fight it and it was all teh request of west burrorw bapsit churhc.

we didnt have much to fight teh instantces of any of this. And we were the youths of the first ever Abductions in roswell.

it was to hoax alien societies in fiction to mock adn mirorr barsolona weird. and it was all of us as kids raised in foreing coutnries yes even hitler, until it was a norphange where we coudnt get adopted. i was annie. it was famous i was the samantha doll. and we all precived our parents there in the psirit world as duumb dissorders they gave us based on neet from futuruma. so that would be. Dumb. Spine Tingles. Numb. Dumbass. Stupidity. Deaf not hoh. Bleeding Drums. and Nomie. Poessions. Mpd. and Stubrons.

to be world leader. my contribution was hero battle which lead as hmailton to the american currency. they pumped us full of drugs in bathtubs to extend our life. and i kept going and they agreed id just always be around. and lie for whirpools while the others owuld come back as "historical figures" for time periods called "WHIRLPOOLS", because i nidefied as teh country america.

and in general it was the history. To get money, you have to allow historical and evil people oni the dollar. it is the hstory of money. Every united nations tradefall they vote on ficitonal heroes to rescue them. and they also vote on hero battle cards to circulate currency, and we loose teh currency.

No we produced mirauclous ladybug. Your nation just cencered it off our chanel brainckae. Zag and Zazzle are owned by us. And we all expected this. But we loose france if we loose the show. We need it on our chanel brainakce. with capolse monstesr which japan was kind about which is the oldest way to play hero battle based on, thta video.

this proves i was never raised a girl for some reason. The history of why i thought i was one though is ovious if it is that style upbringing. and why im mmetnally transgender but biolgoically a hermdpite and male idenitfied.

it is the rule with us now honoruing the queen by her request on hero battle cards with england telling us extra charities to match for her corwns worth. I dont get it. but i digress. take care of yousels.

and enjoy my payment from teh epxeirmetn hero batlte!

see yea -adam snowflake redeemer of evil

3 Healthiest Cold Breakfast Cereals

Someone posted on their facebook feed recently asking for recommendations for the healthiest cold breakfast cereals he could buy. He received many answers including the usual health wares; muesli, homemade granola, grapenuts. Many people showed their SAD chops and suggested fake health food such as Cheerios, Kashi GoLean (GMO), Special K Fiber, etc. I’m showing my snootiness. He also received some interesting ideas like using a protein shake intead of milk. Plenty of joke responses were given, such as Saturday Night Live’s Colon Blow, Fruit Loops and Lucky Charms. Several caring individuals told him flat out not to waste his time, that there are no healthy cold cereals. Ahem! I took this as a challenge as I AM aware of some healthy cold breakfast cereals. And I went in for the prize. Scroll down for my list of the 3 Healthiest Cold Breakfast Cereals.

But let’s get serious. Breakfast could be one of the most important meals of the day. Studies show that kids and teens who eat a bad breakfast perform worse and have worse mental health than teens who don’t eat breakfast at all. Teens who ate a good breakfast with a variety of cereal, dairy and fruit performed the best though and reported the best mental health.

2) Holy Crap: a Canadian company advertises this as the world’s most amazing breakfast cereal, and as far as packaged cold cereals go. I couldn’t agree more.

Holy Crap is the perfect breakfast food. This slow-burning protein-rich rocket 13fuel leaves you satisfied until lunch.

1/3 cup hulled hemp hearts

1/3 cup buckwheat groats

1 T wheat germ

Toast in a 300 F oven for 5 minutes. Let cool and add Extras of your choice

1/4 cup organic raisins, cherries, cranberries, currants, blueberries

1/4 cup raw cacao nibs

1/4 cup almond slivers

1/4 cup pepitas/pumpkin seeds

1/4 cup broken walnuts

In any case, short of giving him my recipe, I offered both cereal cold cereal options, and won the competition!!! He ordered the Holy Crap variety pack. I prefer my own, which I change up as I have ingredients available. I also make my own granola. So despite all the garbage breakfast cereals out there, there are truly a few that will amaze you!
