Because you're allowed to carry things through different domains on Yom Tov, I was able to carry my binoculars and go birding in the woods by my parents' place. Here are the birds I saw over the last two days:
Bluejay
Northern cardinal
American Robin
House sparrow
European starling
Red-bellied woodpecker
Northern flicker
America crow
Black vulture
White-throated sparrow
Ovenbird
Wood thrush
Red-tailed hawk
Red-winged blackbird
Common grackle
Canada goose
Carolina chickadee
Mourning dove (I got to perform the Mitzvah of Shiluach HaKan since doves are kosher birds)
Great horned owl (my first owl of the season!)
American goldfinch
Willow flycatcher
Chimney swift
Carolina wren
Pileated woodpecker
Brown headed cowbird

Comics Steve Rogers definitely made a big show out of getting tested for AIDS as soon as it became available. He made a lot of people really mad but he didn't care. He talked about how important it is to use medicine for the benefit of humanity and not to promote established hierarchies. He protested government negligence of AIDS in full uniform and made a lot of people even more upset.

PSA for goyim drawing Jews: We don't wear a tallit gadol all the time. We don't wear a tallit gadol at the Seder, or lighting Chanukah candles, etc. It's only worn for daily prayer. Also a tallit gadol isn't just a fancy shawl- the most important part of it is the four knotted fringes at each corner. If those fringes aren't there, it's not a tallit.

Erev Pesach really is the worst- you have no Chametz left in your house and even if you did you can't eat it anyway, but you also can't eat Matzah or any other food that's part of the Seder, so you can't have wine, you can't have charoset, you can't have the vegetables you use in Karpas.....for breakfast this morning I had a fried egg (whoops eggs are part of Seder but I literally had no other food) and homemade cucumber pickles, no carbs at all, and for lunch I had two kosher-for-Pesach pastries I took from the Chabad house. It's awful. I have no food in my apartment except some eggs and homemade pickles. I'm just waiting till I get to my parents' place, at least they have cheese and chips and actual food.

It's too bad comics Bucky was born in the 1920s because he born to be a Tumblrina in the 2010s playing Riptide on a ukulele and posting emo poetry and #quirky text posts

In light of Resurrection of Magneto's latest issue and blunder of the Jewish belief that "if you save one life it's as if you saved an entire world"....
It doesn't mean that Jews are all saintly protectors who must save everyone and never kill anyone. It doesn't mean that all. In fact, there's an equally as important belief that goes along with the aforementioned one which is that "if you allow a murderer to escape, the blood of their victims is on your hands." We Jews are not naive. The life of a murderer is not worth more than their victim- if you had a chance to stop a murderer and didn't, yes, even if it means killing them, the blood of their victims is on your hands.
Which is why Magneto saying "to save one life is to save the world" about Tony freakin' Stark is not only out of character, but also not what the phrase is about. Tony Stark has proven numerous times that his actions have led to disastrous things. Magneto is under no theological or moral obligation to help him. And Magneto himself as a character wouldn't *want* to help him.
"oh but he's had his redemption arc, Magneto is good now uwu"
Magneto doesn't have to be a doormat to have a redemption arc. Him not killing Tony for his actions inadvertantly causing the destruction of mutantkind by Orchis is enough of a "redemption". He doesn't have to save Tony to prove he's "good" now, and in fact, helping him would statistically most likely end up with more destruction in the future. Magneto can just. Not do anything. That would be more in-character.
Jews are not naive doormats. *Magneto* is not a naive doormat.

If I had a time machine I would bring one of our roast lamb sandwich eating Temple-era Jew ancestors and horrify them with aluminium foil covered kitchens and horrifically bland Pesach snacks and thin crumbly Matzah.

For real. If I don't know you and we've never interacted and you DM me out of the blue, I will assume you're a bot or a scammer.....
So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????
I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.
Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?

Pesach prep is all about mopping your apartment wearing only underwear for your bottom half because you don't like feeling of soaked pants, in the dark with only the light from the open bathroom door because your bird has a set bedtime and dammit you might not have a healthy sleep schedule but he has to.

the last anon reminded me when i was in elementary school we had a civil war reenactor come to the school and he taught us to make something like hardtack (he called them war biscuits but i googled it and it looks the same lol) and i commented that it was "just bad matzah" and my teacher said "is that a Jewish thing? because Jews didn't exist during the civil war" 😭😭😭
HELLO?????
WHAT??????
Your teacher told you Jews didn't exist during the Civil War??????? Help?????
