also it makes me sad that so many supposed leftists think the answer to 'there is an imbalance in who suffers and who doesn't" is "redistribute the suffering to the people I don't like", not "try to make it so no one has to suffer"
It's extremely punitive-justice oriented but they'd have a ragefit if you told them how carceral their logic is

My sister's best friend, we'll call her Willow, is Jewish. She was one of the first Jews I considered part of my family and I still do today.
I told her I was converting, and she sent me back a lovely sweet message full of kindness and warmth that made me cry!! Then she asked for pics if I get a chance to do anything for Purim.
I wasn't actually planning on it under the (possibly foolish) logic that I shouldn't because my classes haven't started yet and I'm technically still not a conversion student, but she's like the third person who has told me I should totally do something for Purim so I'm thinking I might try to make some cookies after all 💖
I've never made hamantaschen before, but I love baking and I haven't made dessert in a while (I've been making a lot of pumpkin-banana breakfast breads recently). Hopefully they'll turn out okay and I'll have pictures to report back with!!

Okay.
Who did this? I need to know whose face to gently cup and remind to take sleep/food/bathroom breaks in their marathon reading session while also making dolphin noises in an attempt to express the level of my gratitude. ;_;
For the record, this is why kudos still count. I learn SO MUCH from this and what I've learned is incredibly flattering and actually made me tear up when I got it.
So don't worry if you never leave a comment for me. You kinda did, actually! Any feedback at all ever tells a story, even if it isn't literally telling a verbal story (another example: when I suddenly have a flurry of kudos on a specific fic, that tells me someone linked it or recced it and that is ALSO immensely high praise and deeply meaningful).
Plus love to my lurkers, I have a baffling amount of hits and I am so grateful to the story you're telling me there, too (which I know because I have been told that some of those hits are rereads, which is some of the highest praise you can give a writer and HOLY SHIT I have given you a piece of my infinite gratitude/soul)!
Comments are wonderful, but they're far from the only way to show an author you care. I used to be a "you should comment! Authors thrive on feedback!" person, and I don't really disagree so much as I think it's better for me to focus on what I already have.
Which really is pretty clear. 😳🥺💜
Whoever you are, Guest, thank you. You made this writer very, very happy.
I love my readers. All of them. Not on a personal level, ofc, but as a whole. Collectively, you've done so much for me over the years, and I couldn't have done it without you.

every day i think about how people domesticated pigeons and then casted them aside as “pests” when they’re so loving and gentle. they love humans, they don’t know why but they do. to this day they need our help, iirc they still can’t even properly build their own nests, for they were bred to be human companions and live with us. they flock to human populated areas because these small, gentle souls are attached to ours. they have nothing but love and comfort.
the fact some people think of them as nasty things, call them lazy for not knowing how to build proper nests, and hurt them breaks my heart heart.

I like checking out clown car animation styles so I watched that new teenage kraken movie and honestly I cannot explain how fresh the whiplash is every time I see Jaboukie credited as one of the main roles. Just like..."JABOUKIE?"

Building a new D&D character and already being brutally read by @domes for apparent personality alignments between myself and this crocodilian barbarian.

in dhmis the only instance of a bird being correctly identified in the entire series is chicken (both raw at the picnic in yt3 and the bucket of chicken in tv3), because it's something to be consumed

Leftists on tumblr: listen to marginalized people about their own oppression
Jewish person: X thing is super antisemitic
Those very same leftists on tumblr: OH SO YOU SUPPORT MURDERING BABIES THEN? GENOCIDE APOLOGIST
Jewish person: here's an exhaustive list of sources going back thousands of years proving that X is antisemitic.
Leftists on tumblr: Doesn't count, colonizer!!!!!! /gets X tattooed on their forehead, puts an X bumper sticker on their car, calls people Genocide Supporters when they say "hey X is not allowed here because it's antisemitic"
Leftists on tumblr: "Why do Jews keep complaining about leftist antisemitism? I don't see it; it's clearly a distraction from talking about those Noble Savage Palestinians. Prove to me you're oppressed, X! X X X X!! CHANTS X FROM THE ROOFT0PS"
Jews: we don't super trust you guys not to call for our extermination, since you have repeatedly at every past opportunity
Leftists on tumblr: Look, I know antisemitism is annoying, but now is not the time to discuss blood libel when those Evil Jews are eating Palestinian babies!!! HASHTAG X
Jewish person: *rubs forehead as Turning from les mis plays in the background* (nothing changes, nothing ever can / round about the roundabout and back where you began)
Leftists on tumblr: SEE? THEY WON'T EVEN HAVE A GOOD FAITH DISCUSSION WITH ME 😭
Leftists on tumblr: "anyway discussions of antisemitism are a DISTRACTION. I am good person who is being very helpful and only hurting bad people who deserve it, like those filthy Jews— I mean zionists"
Leftists on tumblr: Why, oh why are people calling us antisemitic? 🥺

I want to take a cooking class.
I have a lot of dietary restrictions (I can't eat egg whites, tomatoes or legumes of any kind without getting extremely sick; it's a mast cell fuckery thing but when you live in Boston and you can't eat eggs whites, soy or tomatoes you kinda can't eat most food that exists especially if it's prepackaged).
I'm kinda nervous about whether I'll be physically able to keep kosher, although I do plan to at least try (and I know the rules around keeping kosher explicitly make allowances for this kind of thing which helps a lot).
But looking into it, I think it's not as big of an issue as I was worried it might be. It seeks like the bigger problem might be more that so much middle eastern food is legume-forward. I miss hummus and tamarind and peanuts and lentils and soy so much, guys, you don't even know, sob.
Which is why I want to take a class! I've already been saving recipes that I stumble across, and I've discovered there's actually a fair amount of overlap in Jewish-American and Irish-American diaspora foods (beef and cabbage and root veggie stew my beloved), which is really neat. I want to research more about that historical cultural intersection as part of my process anyway, and there's something really human and kind about sharing food with each other that I just Like A Lot.
I'm rambling a little at this point so I'll close it out here for now, but if anyone has any thoughts I'd love to hear them 💜
