theres a huge issue with people using large online platforms where you could lose everything useful you post because you're entrusting your data to a third party which exists to make money. however i don't want to hear that conversation coming from someone who's not willing to also educate the people they're looking down at for using these services on alternatives AND who's willing to understand practicality

this recording was the first time i ever heard a theremin and i thought it was a human voice and got chills so bad i stopped what i was doing and listened again and again until i found this video and figured out how the sounds were created. reading this quote and hearing the flawless, building, gorgeous drama of this piece rly stuns me.

לו שר בנו עמרם פני דודי

מתאדמים העת שתות שכר

ולפי קוצותיו והוד יפיו

לא חק בתורתו ואת זכר

"If only the son of Amram saw the face of my beloved

Reddening now as he gets drunk

And his curls and the splendor of his beauty

He would not have decreed in his Torah 'And with a male-'"

-From Tachkemoni, Chapter 50: Verse 107, by Rabbi Yehudah Al-Harizi

*Jewishifies all your alt fashion styles*

I always get very disappointed when I’m trying to find any kind of alternative fashion thing to wear, and have to wade through a sea of Xtian imagery and crosses. (Especially in looking for anything remotely goth.) It’s kinda made me think a lot about what it would look like for people to make alt fashion in various styles inspired by other cultures/religions that aren’t really represented. So here’s a Jewish lolita.

Happiness is the ability to say: I lived for certain values and acted on them. I was part of a family, embracing it and being embraced by it. I was part of a community …I asked what I could contribute.

man. remember early in the pandemic, shortly into the telework phase, when a lot of women started vocalizing “wow, i didnt realize just how much time, energy, and even money i was wasting on dolling myself up for work every damn morning, until i didn’t have to do it anymore. i don’t think i’ll go back to doing that when we return to the office? i won’t be a slob or anything, of course, i’m just not going to go out of my way to look pretty at work"  and then,

so many people proceeded to lose every last crumb of their shit about it, writing the most asinine crybaby articles ever where they were just. utterly horrified by the possibility that more and more women might become comfortable looking natural/plain and completely opting out of the expectation to look as appealing as possible at all times, even when all they’re doing is spending all day in a cubicle. that was bonkers. lmao.

idk if cis women are aware of this but u can actually talk abt how difficult it is to be a woman living under patriarchy without wildly misrepresenting the experiences of men living under the patriarchy. i’m watching a comedy special where a thin white woman just said that men aren’t affected by weight gain and i would like to know on what planet being a man protects you from the disgusting and deadly culture of fatphobia we’ve cultivated. i would like to know on what fucking planet a thin white woman is more affected by gaining an inch around her waist than a fat man having to deal with being dismissed by doctors, passed over for jobs, and treated horrendously by fellow human beings. like. trust me, i lived as a woman for almost three decades and still am seen as a woman, i understand the urge to vent about the patriarchy. but you can so easily do that without completely ignoring intersectionality or speaking on experiences you don’t understand or quite frankly don’t care about.

I literally only have one rule in my writing and it is this:

No matter what I put my characters through, they make it. They get to make it to the end of the story and have everything work out and be ok.

Because that’s the story I need. So it’s the kind I write.

To know that you made a difference, that in this all-too-brief span of years you lifted someone’s spirits, relieved someone’s poverty or loneliness, or brought a moment of grace or justice to the world…these are as close as we get to the meaningfulness of a life, and they are matters of everyday rather than heroic virtue.
