Listen. LISTEN, the longer I spend in the academic world, I am more convinced that describing Judaism and Jews as a religion/ethnic grope/ethnoreligion is unhelpful outside of Academic circles.

The best way to explain Judaism is using the tribe model. A lot of times Judaism is a community first and a religion second, i.e., your level of religiousness is rarely a thing that alienate you from the community.

Think of other tribes, like the Sámi, Aboriginal Australians, Māori, Yurok, Inuit ect. Each have their own unique religion, but we do not think of them as a religious group, because the tribal identity is more important, and the religion is considered part of the culture, not the opposite.

IMORTANT SIDENOTE: I am aware that many of those tribes, and other tribes have a big chunk of Christians in them, usually more Christians than those who follow the indigenous religion of the tribe. BUT for the sake of discussion, I am equating Judaism to the section that does follow the indigenous religion of the tribe.

So, despite the fact that the religious structures of Judaism is very integral to Judaism, it is partly because of the community based focus of Judaism. The most basic example is the Minyan, the fact that prayer is preferred to be done in a group. Or the fact that the Sader is meant to be a celebrated in a group. and so on.

SO, ethnoreligion is a great academic term, but for outside that world? A tribe is a much better term to explain Judaism.

#jumblr #judaism #ethnoreligion #the problem of using academic terms outside academia is that they require the ACADEMIC CONTEXT #and I found that presenting Jews as a tribe makes a lot of the comparison to Christianity go away #and helps explain the solidarity a lot of Jews find toward other indigenous tribes #because we have a lot in common #the Jewish tribe is just far more spread out than most tribes #yes #this is an oversimplification #but sometimes you have to do it in order to get the point #Judaism is a closed practice #just like the faith of many other tribes

Was kafka really a zionist?

First, I feel like I have to mention that the modern day zionism (which is used as propaganda that serves Israel) is very different from what it was in its starting days. Europe's rising antisemitism in 20th century made jewish life impossible there and a seperate Jewish state was a last chance for jews to survive.

Fun fact! Did you know that Israel was supposed to be in Africa but other european colonisers didn't want another major power in Africa?

Back to Kafka. When Zionist movement was just starting in Europe Kafka was quite fascinated by it. He was close friends with some very devout zionists in his late twenties, went to lectures and seminars and was close with the movement. But over the years Kafka changed his views, he disagreed with the movement on various issues and he distanced himself from it mainly because he did not share their idea about creating a seperate jewish state in middle east.

Kafka often spoke of immigrating to Palestine but ultimately for him it didn't solve the "jewish problem" (he didn't think packing up and settling somewhere else would bring true peace for jews). Kafka was more concerned about the lives of jews in Europe and how they could have lived peacefully in Europe (he states very clearly in diaries and letters too that he didn't want to leave home and go somewhere else).

So shortly, Kafka shared zionists' sentiments of protecting jews from discrimination in Europe but he was against forming a jewish state in middle east.

Also a bit off the topic but the way Israel for years has tried to literally trap Kafka's works in Israel and has worked on creating the myth of "zionist Kafka" is worth taking note of. The legal battle over Franz Kafka's work and to whom it belongs has been very messy. I have seen couple of times Israel trying to portray Kafka as if he belongs to Israel just because he is jewish. I doubt Kafka would approve of this.

My number one classics ick is when a scholar will just insert untranslated passages of Greek and Latin into their paper. good job on the artificial inaccessibility you guys, glad you were able to gatekeep the field so none of those dirty peasants may learn stuff. its just for us cool guys who speak Greek or Latin

#This is my speaking as a classical archaeologist who can read very rudimentary Latin and pretty much no Greek #I just never got offered the classes and they weren't a requirement #I'd love if I could and I've been trying to learn latin on my own for a while but self teaching a language isn't exactly easy #I know just enough that if I find a translation that feels off I can get a dictionary and the original and see how it might be phrased #I do need a second translation too to help me find my way #classics #ancient history #tagamemnon #ancient rome #ancient greece #latin #latin literature #greek #greek literature #academics #ick

Thoughts on Anders going from being very outgoing and flirty fun in the dlc to being a bit more introverted and careful in da2? Is it bc he and Justice has merged, his mental health degrading, or his new "freedom" turned into a new kind of prison?or anything else? Or all of them? God I love the anders meta

lots of thoughts! most prominently, i think anders has literally become a whole other separate person as well as himself, on account of being possessed. i do very much consider anders to also be justice throughout da2, not just when he starts glowing. imo that shows in, like, all their dialogue. i mean, let’s reverse the question: why is anders-justice’s dialogue in da2 so outgoing and flirty when justice is so serious and literal in awakening? because now anders is also there. so why is anders-justice more serious and literal than awakening anders? because justice is also there. here’s some quick comparisons of location comments from justice to anders-justice:

that’s justice, right? he’s in there! i’m not saying anders isn’t there, too, it sounds a lot more like anders in tone because it’s coming through anders, but these are just the ones i picked as being obviously justice-y when you make the comparison. you can see it in a lot of the companion banters, too. for example, justice finds it very difficult to agree to disagree or laugh off a challenge in the way anders used to be able to, which i think comes through most obviously with fenris and merrill, but a lot of the others, too. awakening justice often has several connected banters in succession; once he gets a thought into his head, once something distresses him abt one of his companions, he can’t let it go or leave it alone, because he’s still figuring out how to navigate the fact that people are complex and incongruous and so is the world they live in. he thinks everything is black and white and if he just explains enough then everyone can understand. which is far more like da2 anders-justice than something like this:

in da2 making these kinds of comparisons between others and himself is still his go-to method of trying to convince people, it’s a very anders move, but the way he backs off here is not something justice or anders-justice is capable of. awakening anders tries to let everything glance off him. having justice kind of cripples his ability to use that defence mechanism. i mean, that’s half the point of the whole possession. letting justice possess him was about taking the injustices done to the mages seriously and doing something about it. but it also makes him incapable of playing it off as a joke like he used to, he has to take everything personally

another example of justice in da2 anders-justice dialogue is the way he believes in atonement and retribution, that actions must have consequences even if he’s not always certain how it should actually happen in the real world and he struggles to understand real world context. justice has related conversations with nathaniel and sigrun about their criminal pasts, but for quick comparison’s sake, here’s banters with velanna and isabela:

a lot to say here but my point is not to make judgements, mainly just to compile evidence that justice is always a part of him? and the personality change really makes complete sense when you look at it from that angle. how would that not change how you act. anders-justice saying things that awakening anders would never have said is no less surprising imo than anders-justice saying things justice would never have said (and anders-justice does sound like awakening anders way more than people give him credit for)

otherwise, the mental health Situation is definitely also part of it. he’s not doing well. lirene says she’s never seen him smile. but i also think it’s a mistake to think awakening anders is even comparatively a paragon of mental health because, oh boy! he’s manic he’s so so angry right under the surface he’s fresh out of a year in solitary confinement. he NEEDS you to like him and to not take him seriously because people thinking he’s charming and harmless is literally the only reason he’s alive but also it would kill him to purposefully be what an authority figure who controls whether he lives or dies wants out of him so he’s settled for being funny with increasing desperation. you could make a whole other post out of this. my point is i just think it’s a misread of anders to be like “oh he was completely fine and normal in awakening and then it really went downhill between that and da2 and that’s why he’s not as funny now”. if that makes sense? the funnymanning was the symptoms all along i am afraid

#all open 2 discussion theres a lot to be said i am just pasting some thoughts together #anders #long post #i would apologise for the long response but its such a big question the long response is required #justice #zevsurana academics

Apparently there's currently discussion in science (humanities in particular) about whether video essays could be accepted as academic writing on par with the academic papers we currently have

I think that's awesome as fuck tbh

#brief ramble #a lot of “texts” these days are visual media #it only makes sense that discussion of it should be able to emulate this #and so many video essayists already do academia level research and writing #philosophy tube #hbomberguy #defunctland #come to mind especially #and a lot of media analysis these days comes in form of video essays #same with sociology #jessie gender #sarah z #alexander avila #cj the x #and so many more #obviously academic video essays would have a bunch of extra requirements and citation guidelines #and you probably cant put in that many jokes #but maybe itll also help make academia more accessible?? #oh hey and maybe the whole plagiarism thing wouldnt go as unchecked #honestly the day 'cj the x' becomes an academic source i am rejoining the science #that guy just makes my brain vibrate on the exactly right frequency

How does one get assigned as sam coded / dean coded ? Do I need a doctors note ? A psych evaluation perhaps ?

#i keep going back and forth on it #bc i used to identify with dean for the longest time bc i was so repressed and emotionally closed off (+older sister) #and at that point id spent my youth very purposefully protecting my younger sibling from our dad #and i guess in my brain i paralleled that with dean staying behind with john while sam took off for stanford #and dean protecting sam from knowing too much abt the supernatural #BUT having grown up ive now become the one resentful and angry at our father while my sister protects him #and our fights remind me a lot of scenes from the show where im obviously identifying a lot stronger with sam #plus the whole thing abt being the families designated academic or whatever #while also feeling cursed from the minute i was born and crushing at the guilt of everything wrong with me #and trying to be a good person and saving others to make for the fact that i feel an intrinsic evilness about myself #so like... yeah sam is very very relatable too in that sense #bc he also has that hope in him- the belief in god. in angels. in goodness. and i have that too ! #im just also a miserable cynic at the same time :) #so ???? #i havent been in the fandom for long enough to know the full requirements of being a sam or dean girl #(and by that i mean i havent been in the fandom for long AFTER i rejoined from my 10 year hiatus) #i literally would love to read someones page long explanation of what sam coded vs dean coded entails #someone with a spn hyperfixation or special interest needs to provide me with the goods fr 😭 #spn

[gardenofdelete998]

this feels very mean to say but man wtf happened to james spader

going through his imdb rn to pinpoint the exact year the light has left his eyes. he still has it in crash (1996, 2nd pic) but i think you can already see it starting to fade in critical care (1997, 3rd pic). 1st and 4th pic are for reference: 1989 vs 2002

he is 42 in the last one and doesnt look bad for his age at all, its just that the charm just isnt there anymore

it was the divorce, wasnt it

y'know how they say an academic writing sample can be something like an undergrad thesis or journal article? but if a journal article has many authors, how do they know which part you contributed to? or do they just want the part of the article you wrote for the sample? sadly i don't have the option to do an undergrad thesis, so i won't have something that was purely/mostly my own to give...

🖍Post Any sentence from your wip

It’s innocuous, it seems, the little leather journal tucked underneath a stack of dusty folders in the third drawer. Loki almost passes over it, but there’s something about the excessive wear that makes him curious. There is very little wear in a place like the TVA. 

Everything is crisp and impossibly maintained here. There’s no dust in the corners, no mildew in the showers, nothing that communicates that time has passed here, because it doesn’t. The journal, however, looks ancient.

Loki pulls it graceless out of its drawer and kicks it shut with his foot as he cracks it open. 

COLLECTED NOTES ON LOKI LAUFEYSON

by MOBIUS M. MOBIUS 

It’s pure, undiluted glee that spreads through him. His head feels light, a little giddy and - strangely, a hint of discomfort. Loki has read his file, watched his tapes, and still, this book feels like an invasion of his privacy in the way that he was sure the TVA had numbed him too. It’s the secondary line, though, that makes his stomach flip. 

SPECIFIC FOCUS: Variant L1130

This, is not an overview on all Lokis across the timelines. This is a dissection of him. 

🛠Is there a scene or anything in the WIP you are struggling with right now?

I'm struggling with all of my WIPs right now, but off the top of my head the one I just posted the excerpt for requires me to write dissertation notes on Loki that are both clinical and barely suppressed horny and I don't think I really processed how much work that was going to be when I sat down to write a fic that is just titled "desk sex".
