I also love that this is the origin of the “this too is Torah and I must learn” phrase. Jewish equivalent of “by Allah you people are dogs I will re[blog] as usual”
Berakhot 62a if you’re just tuning in :)

And a queer Jew is worst of all
Trans people (and other queer people, but trans people most starkly) prove gender isn’t necessarily easily visible, inherent, or immutable. Jews complicate the categories of race and religion.

Queer people and Jews spark similar paranoia in conservatives because you can’t always easily ID them.

Finally solidified a map of Asta Rey&Terra Rey and it’s pretty cool, if I do say so myself. Even if it’s drawn on notebook paper.

Time to ramble: I think Rhyse might be telling me she’s actually a woman. I’m not sure what to do with this information.

Rhyse (right) Alysle (left) are both trans men. Alysle uses they/them pronouns because they slide between man and non-binary and overall could not give a shit about other people’s opinions of them. What are human gender constructs to an alien from another dimension? Art by @/goethial.bsky.social

The fuck does God’s will have to do with running a country, Gavin Newsom? Isn’t one of the core principles of the United States supposed to be separation of church and state? We can talk about the right people have to food without bringing religion, and specifically Christianity, into it.
Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in common—Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the list—it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.

We will need Nuremberg-like trials
ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

Sukkot season is upon us

Where us Jews show our nesting urge seasonally and build huts outside and chabad chases us with palms and etrogs.
