Holiday Theme: Happy Hogswatch

IT IS HOGSWATCH, said Death, AND PEOPLE DIE ON THE STREETS. PEOPLE FEAST BEHIND LIGHTED WINDOWS AND OTHER PEOPLE HAVE NO HOMES. IS THIS FAIR?

"Well, of course, that's the big issue--" Albert began.

THE PEASANT HAD A HANDFUL OF BEANS AND THE KING HAD SO MUCH HE WOULD NOT EVEN NOTICE THAT WHICH HE GAVE AWAY. IS THIS FAIR?

"Yeah, but if you gave it all to the peasant then in a year or two he'd be just as snooty as the king--" began Albert, jaundiced observer of human nature.

Terry Pratchett, Hogfather

@steddiemas Day 8: Hanukkah Traditions

Steve was nervous. He'd moved in with Eddie and Wayne a month ago since his parents told him in no uncertain terms to be out by the time they got back. The past month had felt so warm and loving. But Hanukkah was beginning tomorrow and Steve was freaking out.

"Sweetheart, you don't need to stress out about it, you don't even need to join in the traditions if you don't want to. Plus Wayne and I are very chill about it, I think Wayne just likes to remember his mother's stories the most, she would've loved you."

"But it is important, Eds! You and Wayne have been so good to me and I want to show you that I appreciate that."

Eddie sighed moving towards him, curling Steve's clenched hands and intertwining their fingers.

"We know you appreciate it, Stevie, and we both love you so much, secretly I think Wayne prefers you." Steve has a quirk of a smile for a moment.

"Only cause I don't burn the toast when I make breakfast."

"It was one time and I was 12, sorry for putting effort into father's day for him," Eddie joked. "C'mon let's go help Wayne finish letting up."

Later, when the menorah was set and ready on the windowsill, cabinets stocked with ingredients for all the food they'd make, and gifts wrapped for the week ahead, the three men sat with mugs of coffee despite the late hour.

"You ready for your first Hanukkah, Steve?" Wayne asked.

"I think so, Eddie has told me a bit but I'm excited to learn."

"That's good of you, son, don't worry if you don't get it all right away, Eddie tried lighting all the candles at once when he was little."

"Can we lay off poor baby Eddie, he was a sweet boy."

"A sweet boy that brought toads home as pets."

"The frogs are mean to them."

Wayne chuckled at his nephews antics.

"Would you like to hear the story of Judah and the Maccabees, Steve? My memory isn't as good as it used to be but I'm sure I can make it as exciting as my Ma used to tell it."

"I'd love to," Steve smiled. Wayne smiled softly, getting comfy in his chair and began to tell the tale. Steve leaned into Eddie as he listened, he might not know all the traditions yet, but it already feels more like home and family than Christmas with his parents ever did.

Definitely likely changing the way that this is set to have it be a character list like the other BFCD Masterlists, but for today, this all I got for the girlies. To be fair, it might need to be like the Monsters ones. Or, I might do a separate one that's characters later. Idk.

I wonder if there's a warp 10 salamander in Lower Decks because every so often Starfleet thinks they've solved the amphibian problem and sends some hotshot pilot out to try breaking the barrier again but they keep coming back with daddy issues and a tail.

I think we as a fandom are collectively sleeping on Carolina being raised with Jewish holidays. dude can you imagine her being reintroduced to them once she’s with the reds and blues maybe cus they picked them up as a found-family sort of tradition because of church and they continue them when he’s gone. her getting to relive the sweet nostalgic parts of her childhood with her new family. can you imagine her coming in and seeing all the decorations and food she hasn’t seen in years (this is ofc assuming they didn’t really do holidays on the MOI) screaming and crying do you see it do you see my vision

#she needs something happy her childhood has caused her a lot of pain already #im having some banger matzah ball soup rn and it got me thinking cus this stuff is the definition of warm and comforting simple food #can you imagine Carolina having that again for the first time in years and remembering maybe when Church or Allison used to make it for her #and now it’s the reds and blues doing the same for her and keeping a part of her culture and family alive andjshlfbsldm #im not Jewish myself so I had to do a bit of research for this so if I got something wrong about how holidays and observers work #im very sorry feel free to correct me or add on #rvb #agent carolina

<- GUY WHO FORGOT IT'S PURIM TONIGHT

#HELP #i don't have plans this year but i was at least going to go buy some hamantaschen #all my holiday observances have been thrown off since our kitchen exploded during hanukkah :( #i just want to make foods to celebrate #sigh. maybe i'll be able to cook for passover this year

[lawbreaker13]

I may be ten years late to this take but Schmidt is sincerely the best Jewish representation anywhere in the media

#He’s observant of the smaller holidays and acknowledges that there are more than two flavors of Judaism #It’s a part of his character but not the whole of it #He jokes about Judaism but will not stand for antisemitism #You cannot separate Schmidt from his Jewish identity without entirely stripping him of his character #But you cannot boil him down to only a Jew because he is very much three dimensional #The second best Jewish representation is Rebecca Bunch #And the third is Kyle Broflovski #Which is kinda sad but also impressive #New Girl #Schmidt #Winston Schmidt #Max Greenfield #Jewish #Judaism #Jumblr #South Park #Crazy Ex-Girlfriend #Representaion #Mine

4 Reasons Why Disability Pride Month Should be in March

(And 3 Reasons Why Disability Pride Month Should Stay in July)

(with links)

Reasons for March:

The First: March 1 is the International Disability Day of Mourning (Website: Content warning for lists murder victims and information about their cases). This day is for commemorating and mourning Disabled people who've died at the hands of their family members and caregivers because of their disability.

(This, BTW, is why the main field of the Disability Pride Flag is Black)

The Second: March 12 is the anniversary of the mass protest led by ADAPT (website), which included "The Capital Crawl" (YouTube short; proper closed captions, eye contact), which finally spurred the Senate to pass the American With Disabilities Act, after it had been stalled and delayed for years.

The Third: March 21 is World Down Syndrome Day (Website) recognized by the U.N. -- for what that's worth -- since 2012.

The Fourth: Having our own Pride Month immediately before Autism $peaks's month-long propaganda campaign might just take some wind out of their sails (or should that be "money out of their sales"?).

Reasons for July:

The First: July 26, 1990 is the day when George H. W. Bush actually signed the Americans with Disabilities Act into law (Transcript of his remarks to the gathered audience at that ceremony). And it's important to remind people that the law actually exists.

The Second: Overall, there is a deep and strong current of ableism/disablism that runs through heteronormativity, such that any sexual/romantic, or queerplatonic, relationship between an abled person and disabled person is treated as "kinky," regardless of the sexual and romantic orientations of the people involved. So there's potential for a natural alliance between the Disability and Queer Communities, and it makes sense that our pride months are side by side. According to this 2019 PDF infographic from the Movement Advancement Project, 40% of trans adults, 40% of bisexual men, 36% of lesbians, and 36% of bisexual women report having a disability, compared to 27% of the "general population" having a disability. And those of us in the broad overlap of that Venn Diagram deserve two whole months of celebration.

The Third: It's already established as Disability Pride Month, and moving it now might result in loss of whatever recognition it's garnered so far.
