tumblr in 2020:
redrew a panel from the lackadaisy comic bc its all ive been thinking about these past couple days hhh,, the og pics below
i think the aesthetic echo chamber created by tumblr is more dangerous than the political one bcs im self aware enough to kno my politics r radical but then me and the girlies are on here reblogging body horror and very weird erotic poetry and i get offline and interact w a real person and jokingly say something like fungus is tangibly divine in the way it facilitates the eternal dance of creation and destruction which is really creation as or by destruction and theyre like what the hell are you talking about freak. the aesthetic barrier between me and a girl in a vineyard vines tee is literally insurmountable. i find the trout to be a very nietzschean fish
I think it's important to let guys be gender non conforming without telling them they're a girl, cause actually misgendering people is still shit even when you are pro trans. "You're a girl, an egg waiting to crack, and that's ok" how about you are a boy and a man and it's still ok if you want to do something that doesn't align with traditional ideals of your gender. You can still be he/him in a skirt and makeup.
Rabbis who've studied Judaism all their life: "But again, I am just a human. I can't possibly know everything and this is all my understanding. There is no limit to how much you can learn about Judaism, so there's always more I can learn and more perspectives I can discover."
Goyim on the internet: "Here's what all Jews believe, based on my very thorough research of 'watched Fiddler on the Roof once', and here's why I know more about Judaism than you silly Jews."
my favorite is when you ask something like "can I do X", and the rabbi tells you "I'm sure there are some who would say you can".
this happens when the rabbi doesn't want you to do X, but doesn't know of any particular halacha offhand that forbids it. And he knows that if he says "no", then you're required to follow that ruling. And according to some opinions, the laws of nazirus imply that abstaining from that which is pleasurable and permissible is considered sinful. therefore, if the rabbi tells you not to do X but it turns out you could've, he has just instructed you to sin.
it's just a little quirk of different halachos interacting that I find really neat.
^^This was exactly my Rabbi's reaction when I asked about kashrut restrictions for the new job 😆
We're a Reform syngogue, and the number of member-families who actually keep kosher at home can probably be counted on one hand. I am not one of those, and during the meeting in which we hashed out hiring basics (hours, tax stuff, etc.), I asked about our kashrut policies on Temple property so that I would know what to pack for lunch every day.
Officially, we do not mix meat and dairy on the same serving dish on Temple property.
But Rabbi, knowing that I don't keep kosher and being the coolest and chillest person in the world, jokingly mentioned that she didn't know anything in the laws that said I couldn't have a roll of deli meat in one hand and a slice of cheese in the other and alternate bites.
One day I may test this, but for now I'm going to play it safe and keep my work lunches all dairy or all meat 😆
acts of service bitches when someone doesn't Need Something from them but wants them around anyways and they have to think about the fact that they could possibly be wanted for who they Are rather than what they can Do
everyone who rbed this you all deserve someone who will grab your little face and say to you "on purpose! i am going to care about you on purpose!"
