there needs to be more lgbt books written by people who have never heard of twitter

I remember discussing Tintin casting choices with a friend from Germany and remarked how it was odd he often has an English accent in adaptations rather than a Belgian one, and my friend just replied "that's because Tintin gives incredibly strong English boy energy (derogatory)"

Here in the UK there's a lot of weird classism tied into accents. Today accent diversity and representation in broadcasting is actively pursued but in Tintin's time there certainly was a preferred accent to have.

imagine this exchange happens between pages 28-29 in The Crab with the Golden Claws

I wanna call this the 'Ineffable niblings' AU. Little Ash and Uriel from 'When the angels left the old country' would have so much to talk about with the ineffables! Thought I'd do a little crossover for passover, featuring an orange on a seder plate because I love the idea.

Chag Pesach Sameach!

the golden haggadah → illustrated manuscripts became fashionable in european jewish society around 1300 CE, in the form of illustrated passover haggadot; the golden haggadah, a product of northern spain in 1320 CE, was most likely the result of the growing popularity of the medium. lavish decoration, doused in a gold-leaf background, with hundreds of detailed miniatures, are only a few aspects that make the golden haggadah such a unique medieval manuscript. it is stylistic choices, too, that transform the haggadah into a deeply complex presentation of jewish diaspora.

throughout the manuscript, the unnamed artist revisits several important periods in christian art: byzantine, italo-byzantine, gothic and the innovative proto-renaissance style of giotto (at the scrovegni chapel). islamic art, also, made an appearance throughout the manuscript, likely due to reverberating cultural influences from the rule of the caliphate of córdoba. there was no cohesive style in the golden haggadah, it was not a manuscript bound by the harsh delineations of artistic periods, but there did not have to be a cohesive style. not when the brazen amalgamation of styles so completely represented the experiences of a diaspora forced into acculturation.

I was raised Christian so sorry if this comes off wrong, but it’s not even Rules Lawyering at this point, it just seems like Judiasm has a better understanding of what free will is meant to be. It’s just mutual respect, which is nice

yeah 100%. "Rules lawyering" implies some degree of doing something you're not supposed to

in Parshat Netzavim Moshe Rabbeinu says of the Torah "לא בשמיים היא"; "it is not in the heavens". He adds that it is "בפיך ובלבבך לעשותו"; "in your mouth and in your heart, to observe it."

In Mesechet Baba Metzia Rabbi Eliezer asks for a bat kol, a heavenly voice, to prove him right against his detractors. A voice is indeed heard and says Rabbi Eliezer is right, but the sages repeat the words of Moshe: לא בשמיים היא. It's no longer up to G-d to decide. The Torah and all its teachings belong to us now. This is a fundamental principle and anyone who doesn't understand it doesn't understand Judaism

I know this isn't ninjago guys but I finished this 17 hour painting for my art class and I was proud of it so...enjoy.

I love Egypt fun fact about me. :)

@krypti I would think if you actually cared about antisemitism you wouldn't come onto a post where OP is lamenting people not caring about antisemitism to say "ignoring antisemitism is justifiable because Israel is bad". Maybe try something like "you're right, people don't care about antisemitism enough!" next time

wistfully remembering how people (pretended they) cared about antisemitism when it was primarily coming from the right. like there are pre-2023 posts with tens of thousands of notes about antisemitism. now any mention of the existence of antisemitism (when its worse than it ever was) doesn’t breach containment outside of jewish circles. its almost funny how quickly people stopped caring when it was inconvenient.
