I know this rabbi who is genuinely delightful to have a conversation with because he just says the most unhinged things like they’re fact, and doesn’t explain himself.

Me- So… Rav David. What’s with gay people in Judaism?

Rav David (happily married to his wife with children) - I’m up for reinterpreting the Halacha to make same sex relationships the only acceptable ones

Me- Did you hear about the law Oklahoma just passed ?

Rav David- I don’t believe Oklahoma has the right to statehood. Neither does Rhode Island, but that’s a separate issue

Me- Jeez- the government want to cancel Jewish American history month!?

Rav David- we should just abolish the concepts of months altogether- Jewish and secular. There’s no reason for them.

Happy May Day all. Solidarity and all that jazz.  For your brain, some history on May Day and how it came to be: 1. The Zinn Education Project:  May 4, 1886: Haymarket Tragedy

2. IWW Historical Archives:  The Brief Origins of May Day

3. NPR : What is May Day? For the most part, the opposite of capitalism

the least realistic thing about star trek is that starfleet uniforms don’t have pockets and nobody complains about it

remember kids. not everyone is destined for success. sometimes you are destined to be a warning for others

Shout out to the USA for pissing Canadians off so bad it flipped an entire election that was supposed to be a landslide for the center-right, forever in your debt o7

I haven’t been on tumblr for quite as long as a lot of people but over several years I’ve noticed this interesting gradual sorta,, shift in the general culture? that it went from this mostly depressed, nihilistic outlook where people would regularly joke about hating themselves and being hopeless and depressed, to a wave of vehemence of “STOP hating everything actually the world is Good and you deserve love!!!” type posts, to now, where those aggressive ‘PSAs’ have faded away and instead I regularly see people romanticizing simple things like stars and hot tea and rainy mornings, and waxing poetic about their friends, and just trying to put love out there. and I don’t know exactly what that means (someone who knows more than me could probably say something smart about generational expression and trauma or popular perception of mental health and whatnot), but I do know that it makes my heart very full to see people learn to love the world and themselves by extension, and a whole userbase adopting healthier coping mechanisms, and therefore teaching the younger users to do so as well. I might just be following different people, but I really do think we’ve grown. everyone has grown. five years ago it wasn’t unusual for the next post on my dash to be a scathing commentary on why nothing matters or an anon ripping into someone they barely knew or someone complaining about how pathetic their interests are. now I have mutuals who get excited and spam reblog art of cows and friends I see tagging each other in pictures of frogs and strangers writing paragraphs about how much I matter. it makes me happy. idk. just an observation I wanted to make. I think people are good and everyone’s just trying their best at the end of the day
