Side story: I told myself that polyester is fine, those little scarves don’t have to be high quality, they can just be fun, I’m a student and don’t have much money to spend on fashion accessories like that.
Showed my mother my selection and she went “hm I at some point stopped buying plastic…the lower quality stuff simply gets too warm. I only buy silk and cotton.” :| how am I supposed to be ergonomic and make smart shopping choices in this environment?! I do NOT have a silk budget, stop encouraging my spending habits!
…and of course it’s nice to hear that my mother approves of my style and such but I went “and I do love the marimekko prints—“ to which she immediately went “oh there’s a boutique in the city! They have fabrics, too, and the prints are so colourful! :)” mother please I love them too but I can’t justify spending 130€ on a bandana.

the jewish hal jordan evidence board
to make things more cohesive and more accessible, i decided to revamp my old post a bit to make this! please feel free to correct me or request to make amendments! ♡
Hal Jordan was based on an actual jewish person
source: Green Lantern (1960) #3
when john broome and gil kane reinvented GL (alan to hal), kane decided he wanted to model off hal based on his one-off neighbour paul newman. famous hollywood actor, look him up!
He celebrates Chanukah
source: Christmas With The Super-Heroes (1989) #2
He was explicitly stated as jewish once
source: The Spectre (2001) #21
Hal's favourite chanukah dish is latke
source: Green Lantern: The Animated Series (2012) #8
it can also be said from these panels that hal enjoys talking about his traditions and upbringings to friends.
His dad was catholic, but his mom was jewish
source: Justice League Darkseid War: Green Lantern (2015)
due to martin jordan's passing during hal's childhood, it is heavily implied jessica raised her children with jewish traditions and practices. but there are instances where hal would sometimes reference catholicism.
Hal wore a kippah during his father's funeral
source: Knight Terrors: Green Lantern (2023) #1
despite knight terrors' entire plot is based around hallucinations of one's worst fears, he was still explicitly drawn to wear a kippah in his delusion of his father's funeral. and no, no it's not a bald spot.
BONUS! Green Lantern as a whole is heavy on judaism references
Why Green Lantern is one of the most Jewish superheroes of all - Roy Schwartz
please read more in this article by Roy Schwartz, because i am unfortunately not articulate enough.
... and thank you for reading !! tell your friends !!!!

by the way. there's no conceivable universe in which the FTL fleet that left Earth in NtN didn't have it incredibly rough.
I've said this before, but it bears reminding: they jumped blind, using untested technology, with NO supply lines back to earth and no concrete plans for a colony. they took ships that were supposed to stack 11 billion people canned in like sardines and nothing else and stocked them full with enough resources to live on for generations and somehow found a settlement, and that was before they had to rush the schedule because John was making noise about transparency and mask their actual launch as a trial run.
it wasn't a comfortable journey. I'd be very, very surprised if the total passenger count was higher than 10k people, for space/resources allocation reasons as well as for secrecy reasons. Every person on board was a mouth to feed, and their descendants, and their descendants. I've seen some people in fandom say stuff like "Of course they'd bring along servants! Rich wouldn't do chores!" and IMO that fundamentally misses the point.
This wasn't the space equivalent of a cruise liner, or the Titanic crossing the Atlantic with first-class quarters and third-class decks. This is the space equivalent of climate refugees crammed in 500 in a tiny fishboat crossing the sea with a non-insignificant chance of dying en route, after emptying their savings to pay for the trip. The fact that the people on board the FTL ships were once insanely rich doesn't mean they travelled in comfort.
This was a desperate last-chance trip, destination "anywhere but here", chances of survival unknown. Their privilege got them on the ships, but the moment they left Earth, that privilege ceased to exist; there was no way to enforce an existing social structure. This is why, again, I think there were no luxuries on board and absolutely definitely no servants - if you're about to willingly enter into complete social collapse, you don't WANT to bring people you regard as less than yourself, knowing that they will be your equals tomorrow.
I'm still convinced that half the fleet at least didn't make it out, and those who managed to found settlements were nearly wiped out multiple times at different points in history.
