Art and books
Came here to find memes and art. But! If anyone wants to msg me about the Gospel, I'm here for that. I was born again in 2017, and God has continued to work in me and my life since then! Repent of your sins, believe in Jesus Christ, be baptized, and recieve the gift of the Holy Spirit! That is the basic Gospel. Msg me for questions and check out the Last Reformation on YouTube! Also, a little about me: I like to read, and to draw and paint. Nature is amazing, and so are coffee and chocolate.

Time Is The Enemy

You know how I know that the anti-Israel hate is deeply rooted in antisemitism, and not just "social justice" or whatever people are calling it right now?
Let me tell you a common situation I encounter:
So, being a college student away from home, I don't have a car here. This means that if I ever need to go anywhere, I need to get an Uber or Lyft or something along those lines.
I always tuck in my Bring Them Home tag, magen david, turn my "am Yisrael chai" pin to the inside of my clothes, etc. I hate doing it, but I have heard of violently antisemitic drivers, and I'd rather not risk it, considering I'm alone in the car with them.
Every time, I call my mom. It makes me safer to have someone on call. And every time, she makes the same two recommendations.
The first is to put in an address of a neighboring house for pickup, because the house I live in has my landlord's car out front, and his car has stickers in Hebrew on it.
The second is, if asked where I'm from, to say Russia. I don't get asked where I'm "really from" unless I'm with my parents usually (they both have strong accents). But it's a warning my mom repeats every time anyway. The choice of Russia isn't random, I was raised fluent and can back up the claim if need be with random knowledge. But I have never been to Russia, except for the airport once to catch a connecting flight to Israel. I was, however, born in Israel, and I've been there multiple times (unfortunately not since 2014 though). So to say I'm from Russia is a lie, and to say I'm from Israel is the truth.
Both are countries at war. Russia, unlike Israel, actually started the war. Unlike Israel, Russia actually does have a history of colonialism, genocide, imperialism, and worse.
So why is it safer for me to lie about being from an aggressor country than to tell the truth about being from a country caught in a war it didn't want?
Antisemitism. Anti-Russian hate crimes globally didn't spike, Russian women haven't been raped as "justice" for Ukraine. Russian businesses weren't commonly vandalized simply for being from Russia. Meanwhile, all of these things were done to Jews as a result of a war Israel did not start.
If this global response to the war wasn't antisemitism it would be equally safe or unsafe for me to give either answer.
But in reality, it's safer for me to lie about being from Russia than to tell the truth about being from Israel.
That's how I know it's antisemitism.

This past Friday I counter-protested a pro-Hamas (and yes, it was pro-Hamas) rally with some friends from Chabad.
In the time I was there I heard the people in that rally call for a one-state solution, the complete destruction of Israel, justification of Oct 7th, etc. Nothing about those demonstrations is pro-peace. As I said in one of my slightly older posts, they don't want peace. They are actively asking for the genocide of Jews/Israelis.
A girl from the demonstration tried to come over to talk to us but the attempt at dialogue unfortunately fell short once she started denying the rape Hamas committed on Oct 7th and the mistreatment of the hostages. She then proceeded to say she supports Hamas, at which point we ("we" including her) found it pointless to continue the conversation.
So yeah, a demonstration calling for a one-state solution and the destruction of the one Jewish state is not pro-peace. It is pro-Hamas, antisemitic, and pro-genocide.
It really is that simple.
The existence of Israel is not up for debate. Hamas is counterproductive towards improving the quality of life for Palestinians. The atrocities of Oct 7th are undeniable tragedies that cannot be justified. The hostages should be returned home without the exchange of criminals with Jewish blood on their hands.
None of those statements should be controversial.

Wildfire Preparedness Day 2024
(Alt text included within image.)
May 4th is not just Star Wars day, it's also Wildfire Preparedness day! So what better time to finally share my new preparedness poster?
One thing I hear a lot when discussing wildfire preparedness is that people want to protect their most treasured items, so they have them pre-packed to make them easy to grab in the event of an emergency. I've always found this kind of sad. Understandable! But sad. You shouldn't have to hide away the things you love.
Which is where the concept of a preparedness shelf comes in. The idea here is to keep all your evacuation based stuff AND your "save first" items in one spot where they can be displayed instead of hidden away, but still easily grabbed and evacuated.
This has several advantages. For one, you don't have to hide away the things you love but they will still be easy to access in one central spot. For two, if you are not home at the time of evacuation and someone else is (maybe a partner, or your neighbor, or an older child) and they call you and ask what you want them to grab, you do not have to direct them all over your house, just to one central location.
As always, use your best judgement about the hazards in your area and what works for you.
If you are in the U.S.A. and experiencing disaster related anxiety, call the Disaster Distress Hotline at 1-800-985-5990 for support and resources.
If you would like a print of this poster, you can get the high quality digital file on my website for $3, and discounted rates are available if you would like to purchase the right to make more prints! You can get files of the evacuation prep poster the same way!

There is always that. Everyone wants a death ray. Not sure how well it worked though.
Why do We Not Harness Lightning For Electricity? Well...
It is said that the earth produces about 44 lightning strikes per second, each strike being equivalent in overall energy to about 0.25 KiloWatt Hours of electricity.
That means about 11 KWH are produced by the atmosphere per second.
The average American household uses about 29 KWH per day, meaning it would take about 2.6 seconds to power one house for a full day.
A day has 86400 seconds, therefore if we could harness all the lighting produced on earth constantly at full efficiency we could continuously power 33,230 homes, or 0.02% of all American electricity customers

Tesla actually tried this. It was one of many things he was doing before he suddenly died and all of his papers were confiscated by the US government.

As someone that has grown up surrounded by beaches and done surf life saving, I know how the sea works. Lots of people dont. Every summer multiple tourists die here because they don’t respect the sea, if you’re going to the coast, here’s a thing I saw on Facebook.
