Today is Erev Pesach, Passover begins at sunset!

Passover, or “Pesach” in Hebrew, is the holiday which celebrates the Exodus of the Jewish people from slavery in Egypt. 

Preparations for the holiday will often continue throughout the day, as the first Seder is tonight. A Seder is an orchestrated festive meal, which includes lots of food, singing, the story of the Passover, and other rituals.

During Passover there is a different set of dietary restrictions, which forbids Chametz, leavened bread products. On Erev Pesach, there is customs to burn all such products in your home, and recite a special blessing to “nullify” them.

Some observe T'anit Bechorot, The Fast of the First Born, from daybreak to sunset today.

Deep Water Prompt #3264

The lighthouse is haunted by the ghost of every previous keeper, all of whom met terrible early ends. I have to figure out what they are trying to tell me, before I meet my own.

as someone who was born into Judaism, I always love hearing the stories of Jewish converts. They're always so passionate about their Judaism and it makes me smile inside and out. it takes so much heart and love for our culture to undertake such a long and challenging journey and see it through to its completion. it's truly beautiful.

any Jewish converts reading this, I hope this brings you a smile. and if you have a story to share about your journey home to the Tribe, I'd love to hear it.

#fav <3 #jewish stuff #I'm still working up the courage to go talk to local rabbis about it so idk if I count #but thank you this was lovely to see <3

Andrew Scott on Sherlock and Moriarty: In a way Sherlock and Moriarty love each other. There’s something other than hatred there, there’s respect.

I regret to inform you that Discord's new Terms of Service includes an arbitration clause. You can find it here https://discord.com/terms/#16. This clause includes an opt-out, which I have transcribed here:

You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by emailing an opt-out notice to [email protected] within 30 days of April 15, 2024 or when you first register your Discord account, whichever is later; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, Discord also will not be bound by them.

These clauses are underhanded ways that corporations seek to deprive you of your right to participate in class-action lawsuits and your right to a jury trial. (This does only apply to us users ,other people still spread the word though )

#Discord #signal boost #I added the date to my email and a few people in the notes have mentioned adding their usernames as well

You’ve heard of “mammal distressed to discover it lives in water”, now prepare for “kitten is so disappointed to discover she lives in the desert”:
