please have a moment with yourself. extend a hand. you’re allowed to celebrate!

what it means to you is what makes it special. that’s what is worth it.

it doesn’t have to be someone else’s form of celebration. it is about you, the type of relationships you have come to value, more, or less. who you are, how you got there. what you care about. what you have the will to keep with you, through everything that might’ve told you otherwise. maybe even yourself, telling you otherwise.

we were built to wonder. and whoever is whoever, they’ll know. you’re not any lesser of a church militant, or a Jew, or a person. what your family has told you, is merely another version of what humans have wanted to connect to, and understand, with something we still know is undeniably incomprehensible.

it’s a love that exists on its own, nothing like it.

we’re not able to know of anything we were not gifted with knowing on this front. maybe we’ve not made the ground to even come close to understanding it yet. it’s okay.

it’s meant to feel bigger. and that can be scary. but it won’t strip you of what it really would rather you know of. it can protect you. and unwaver.

however you are. who. and why. you don’t know yet, maybe. that’s not a flaw. it’s the predecessor to everything.

that’s what the sky is looking down to oversee. if you heard something, even if not quite. it was for you. you can celebrate what it means to you. you can do it in your head. you can cry from a crowd of those who would like to belive they are your fellow, but hurt you. you can whisper it among those who buried in such spiritual torture, they try and shout over you, shake you. you can do nothing. it can be a thought. and if you needed that to matter, just a few seconds. it can be as monumental as it feels. or as you simply wish it felt.

we are bigger than ants. but functionality is made with flaw. you’re doing right by yourself with what you can. tradition is a thing of men. gathering is a consequence of it. familiarity, and standard, and judgement like to veil one another under our perceptions, in a push for power. or ambition. for survival. nothings been wrong with you, all of these years.

and someone is proud. someone feels it too. if you don’t know who it is, then I’ll say it’s me. and you can believe that the same way. you can forget it just as well. it’d still be how things are. and how they’ll stay, and see how you change.

If you’re celebrating, however you are,

Chag Sameach!

#Hanukkah Sameach! #i love you! you should too #be brave. you live among the humans. there’s nothing so difficult as that #it’s not a vision #or a perspective #it’s true #be well. your families don’t define who you are. your friends in the temple. the ones sleeping on the sidewalk outside #the days are ways for u to try. to know something for yourself. however small the inkling #🕎

a jew review of: nhl team happy hanukkah posts

good evening and chag sameach to my hanukkah-celebrating pals out there on hockeyblr. today i bring you: a non-comprehensive and entirely subjective review from one (1) jewish hockey fan of the graphics posted by various nhl teams in celebration of the first night tonight. i definitely missed some, and some teams didn't post any at all, so it's a bit patchwork. here we go.

vancouver canucks: this is an extremely serviceable graphic. love the blurred dreidels to give the effect that they are spinning. very funny. props for the detail that there is a shadow of the menorah on the ice. straightforward. icemenorah is a themeTM but some did it better than others and this is a classic. 7/10

post continues under the cut for the sake of your dash and mine.

carolina hurricanes: obsessed with what the canes have done here though i cannot comprehend it. the weird techno style textured background. the out of focus magen david around. THE HURRICANES. IN HEBREW. WITH THE LITTLE CANES LOGO THING I FORGET THE NAME OF ON THE HEI? INCREDIBLE. points for creativity. overall baffling vibes. 6/10.

pittsburgh penguins: this is just adorable. you hired someone to draw this. spectacular work, guys. it's giving a bit of 'we browsed the target hanukkah deco section for inspo' but it's too adorable for me to care. it's team themed, it's hockey themed, it's holiday appropriate. love everything going on here. they get points for doing what very few other teams are doing and remembering this is night one, so only one candle is lit. most everyone else is getting a bit a head of themselves. 9/10.

washington capitals: and here we have another edition of the icemenorah, with a minimalist twist. this graphic screams 'oh fuck wait is that tonight' which to be fair is also how i, a jew, felt about realizing tonight was the first night of hanukkah. could'a done more, but it's perfectly fine. 6/10.

new jersey devils: this fucks. it's got devils themes. it's got a cool style. it's got vibes. it's got: more hockey stick menorahs which i am always excited about. that shamash candle is a graphic design nightmare but other than that i am all on board. 8/10

vegas golden knights: i love the gold foil effect and that you remembered there was more to hanukkah than candles, that's nice, as is involving the other affiliates! however. where are the vibes. this is not the vgk wishes you a chag sameach, this is a greeting card i got on etsy. 6/10 just bc i KNOW you can do better. where's the neon, babes.

los angeles kings: oh this is fun. it's icemenorah: WITH A TWIST. the art style is cute, it's got plenty of hockey theme, it's also very obviously LA-y, i'm giving them points for this one. the shadow is insane but that's okay, it's ~stylistic. it's cute. 7/10. UPDATE: definitely AI. boo hiss. 0/10.

montréal canadiens: this is probably my favourite for sheer vibes. you got: levitating icemenorah. you got: action-shot candle lighting. you got: remembering this is night ONE. you got: the implication that the torch is the shamash candle????? you got: JOYEUSE HANOUKKA!!!!!!!! (and like happy hanukkah or whatever i guess). obsessed. it's so funny. it's amazing. 9/10.

The Jewish samurai swiftly picks up the shamash then places it back down in one smooth motion

two seconds later the rest of the candles on the menorah all ignite in a clean line

I'd like to wish for every Jew around the world, religious or atheist, mizrahi, or ashkenazi, or anything else;

Whoever you are, wherever you are, I wish you a very happy, full of light Hanukkah.

i just realized that Good Omens being renewed for a third season, when it was only supposed to last for one, is totally a Hanukkah miracle.

Hanukkah sameach! happy 8th night of Hanukkah, everyone!

Moon Knight-cember day 5-6: Cab-allero and/or Constellation

I've always liked the idea of Jake driving off to a quiet place and just watching the sky sitting atop of his cab

(Very late, I know, but at this point I'm going with my pace)
