I was spared! 2/3rds of my squad are gone but my team remains intact

I'll survive until next payday but I have $400 in my checking account and my roof is leaking profusely AND I opened the door to check for tornado sirens only to find a $250 medical bill from planned parenthood I did not expect

What a terrible world we live in where you can google wild plants or bugs because you're interested in them and the first results are all "how do I kill this"

Image description: a cartoon of a person walking in a star of David T-shirt. They are saying "I love being Jewish!" Another person appears and angrily says, "you! Justify your happiness to me!" In the next panel, the angry person continues, "Debate me!" but the person in the Star of David shirt says "no thank you!" and blows off their head with laser beams from their eyeballs. They continue to walk along happily with the headless corpse of the other person behind them.

I'm a bit late, but anyways.

Joined a cross religion discord server for veiling/headscarves and immediately one of the mods went nuclear on a user for daring to be Israeli and saying happy passover. "you can celebrate passover and we love Jews but hate Zionists" was said. The mod ended up kicking the Israeli for being born in a country.

Left that server immediately but by God come on people

--totally fine to answer privately or not at all if too personal!

Can I ask what your gender identity is? I'm a trans guy but generally don't pass and seen as a masculine woman or trans woman most of the time. I'm gender non-conforming, no misinterpretation bothers me and my dysphoria is all contained to myself and my own perception of certain things about me uninformed by others. Thankfully mostly comfortable with myself after years post-surgery.

That said, I love tichels. They're beautiful. Lately I've been considering wearing them, especially on super windy days- I always worry about my kippot even if they're secure and sometimes long hair is an absolute pain. I do worry about being seen as disrespectful or something though- but it's not like someone who might think that might have an issue with me being gender non-conforming in general.

I dunno! I just haven't had anyone to talk with about gender and tichels with and would love to hear your perspective / experience with them regardless of your gender but that also helps with seeing someone else's perspective!

Regardless I appreciate you :)

Aw I appreciate this ask. I'm still exploring my gender identity. Mostly I go with "transmasc nonbinary" but having my hair short has been bothering me lately. I tried a wig but it felt too much like a costume and I like the feeling of the tichel so I think that's going to stay a while. I definitely relate to disphoria being related to self perception!

If you ever want to talk tichel feel free to pm me, I'm happy to chat with anyone

By reciting the Haggadah, Jews give their children a sense of connectedness to Jews throughout the world and to the Jewish people throughout time.

My corporate job managed to send out three (3) emails about how passover is important without once mentioning the exodus/why we celebrate passover. Just that it's a special time Jews eat matzah

#not sure how i feel on this one #jumblr

Does anyone have non-Orthodox sources on covering your hair as an unmarried Jew? I want to learn more about taking on that mitzvah, but don't feel that these available sources properly reflect the opinions, reasoning, and experiences of those of us in liberal Jewish communities.

Me wearing a tichel but in a queer reform opens traditions to reinterpretation kinda way

#putting a cloth on my head is the only thing that doesnt give me disphoria #jumblr #jewish
