a magical sword can only be pulled from its anvil by a maiden of purest heart. a young knight visits the anvil daily to make the attempt, crushed each time he cannot do the deed, yearning for a sign from the universe that he *is* in truth what he yearns to be. for the world to plop the gift of identity into outstretched arms. but of course, it never does. until one day, he has a chance encounter with a nymph of the lake who was once an ordinary squire, and he learns from her that maidenhood will not be given to him, that he must be brave and choose it for himself. and so the knight changes her name and reintroduces herself to the world and employs the greatest miracles of modern science to become the maiden she had always dreamed of being, and this time, when she revists the sword, she only can't pull it because she's kind of an asshole.

another thing I'm really enjoying since leaving my former (not so) 'progressive' synagogue is the ability to wear a tichel and not experience disgusting levels of dysphoria. previously, it'd get me read as a woman even more than people already did despite the fact I had been out as non-binary the entire time I had been a member

I like wearing both kippot and mitpachot, like they work for differing levels of sensory sensitivity, and it is wonderful to have both options. like a friend said something to me recently that really resonated about how a lot of instutionalised progressive practice isn't truly egalitarian in the sense of all practices being degendered, but rather women's practices have been disregarded in favour of everyone adopting men's practices and that fucking sucks to me because I've spent so much time in spaces that care deeply to unwind those aspects of misogyny from what practices are valued and I know how wonderful it is to engage with them

excited to get back to not having to fit in a box tbh

it's been a whole week since I resigned from the board of trustees and discontinued my membership at my (now former) shul due to an EGM resulting in the adoption of the MRJ's stance on zionism

I'm still disgusted and disappointed that so many people who view themselves in anyway as progressive can support an acceptance of an ideology that's caused so much devastation. truly chillul Hashem

I have been comforted however by the community I've found both with other former members of that shul who want to continue doing services and study together at home, as well as knowing I've got the most incredible friends who understand the pain and frustration and also want to build a better world. I think I'm going to spend the day tomorrow finishing a דאיקייט lino print to gift the darlings I'll see during chanukah for some incredibly nerdy text study because those folks (amongst others) have kept me together in this process

God I love “We’re enemies, but we’ve been enemies for a long time, which is sort of like being friends.” Great trope.

*booktok voice* Do you want to read a gay story about two guys who speedrun enemies to lovers, go against their designed nature by being together, who become unstoppable fighting side by side to much dismay of the gods who created them? Do you want to see one of them eaten alive by the grief for his lover when he dies from a godsent sickness? A book about someone fighting so hard for a chance at eternal life that he doesn't notice he is throwing away the precious time he has got, filling it with agony? Well, in the  2100 BCE poem of Gilgamesh-

spending shabbat reading a book gifted to me from someone I adore that is about an aspect of one of my special interests is such a cosy heart warming sort of vibe

every time a manager asks me to do them a favor i tell them that they owe me, a fey creature, a favor of my choosing that i will call upon them for when they least expect it. with some of my managers i just tell them that i have added this to their favor tally, and only one of them seems to fully grasp the severity of the threat i have given them.

[moronichero]

Not to be incredibly vulgar and nasty or anything, but I’d like to close my eyes and rest my head in somebody’s lap while they run their fingers through my hair

oops! I did something gay

[moronichero]

wore the sluttiest lil vampire outfit (entirely lace) to go see Nick Cave the other night and am honestly just impressed at how long I've maintained the "refuses to dress in ways that are typically deemed practical" shtick
