If you're in need of judaica, you can not sleep on going to thrift, antique, and consignment stores. There are some things you just won't be able to thrift, but going to these stores has given me pretty much every bit of judaica that supports me. I feel like it's a great good luck omen to get these things that are (often) older than you - it's magical.

Anyway, I just got a bread box for my challah and shabbos candlesticks - almost everything in the background was also received secondhand, too!

Admission time: I've always been obsessed with miniature things. I collect wee tea sets and food items and various other things. My dream is to build a doll house some day.

Since conversion, my new obsession is to one day build a miniature Jewish doll house for my little Jewish 1/12th scale doll family.

I currently have a 1/6th scale Shabbat table with little dolls around it and I'm working on putting together a Calico critters house. I already have them sitting around a Shabbat table and I have various items to change out for the different holidays! I've ordered a wee little Menorah, I have a plate of latkas, a Seder plate and little haggadahs, little Hamantashen, challah, apples and honey, and even little bottles of alcohol so they can get smashed on Purim.

I know a lot of people are creeped out by dolls, but if anyone wants to see things as they progress, I'm happy to post pictures.

At least the Calico critters are cute, right?

Model Home by Rivers Solomon

Release date: 1 October 2024

Genre: adult literary thriller/horror

Synopsis

The three Maxwell siblings keep their distance from the lily-white gated enclave outside Dallas where they grew up. When their family moved there, they were the only Black family in the neighborhood. The neighbors acted nice enough, but right away bad things, scary things—the strange and the unexplainable—began to happen in their house. Maybe it was some cosmic trial, a demonic rite of passage into the upper-middle class. Whatever it was, the Maxwells, steered by their formidable mother, stayed put, unwilling to abandon their home, terrors and trauma be damned.

As adults, the siblings could finally get away from the horrors of home, leaving their parents all alone in the house. But when news of their parents' death arrives, Ezri is forced to return to Texas with their sisters, Eve and Emanuelle, to reckon with their family’s past and present, and to find out what happened while they were away. It was not a "natural" death for their parents . . . but was it supernatural?

Review

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC!

This book is awful.

Don't get me wrong, this is a brilliant novel, but I found the reading experience to be really difficult. Not that I struggled to keep reading; I couldn't put it down. This book took a toll on me mentally as it went to some pretty dark places, some of which I did not see coming.

The writing is in the typical sort of litfic style, which I am usually not a fan of, but it really works to cultivate the overall mood/atmosphere of the book. The prose flows well, and strikes a fine balance between being complex but still readable.

The author uses the haunted house novel as a vehicle to explore themes of white supremacy, generational trauma, and cisheteronormativity. I am not smart enough to get everything, but the author does an excellent job of conveying the themes in the narrative.

There are time jumps, switching between the present day and scenes from Ezri's childhood, as well as dialogue without quotation marks, which were disorienting to read, but served the narrative well, as it conveyed their current mindset.

I really resonated with Ezri's relationship with their mother, as well as the themes of generational trauma; while my relationship to my mother is much better than their's, there were certain moments between them that I found quite relatable.

I read some reviews that didn't like the plot, or the ending; while there is definitely a large tonal shift at the end, due to the plot, I think that it makes sense thematically.

Overall, a book that is definitely going to be staying with me for some time.

Poet for blorbo bingo? 👀

He just like me fr, except for the part where I'm not a middle-aged Russian resurrected criminal out for revenge against my abusive psychotherapist. He's 10 different motifs with deep personal significance to me in a blender. He's an excuse to develop opinions about Joseph Brodsky as I write my silly little fan fictions. He's tired of being nice but he's so bad at going apeshit. He's the IMAX screen I use to project all my personal issues. He's shitty Riddler. He should let Christina trap him in a coffee shop AU. He deserves to be loved. He is doing absolutely nothing to earn that love. He somehow has managed to spend a good half a year of time in-universe doing fuck all and making zero money which is pretty impressive considering he has a superpower that he should be able to use to make people do things for him and give him money. I want him to have a happy ending but I also want him to continue hanging around annoying the piss out of everyone for no particular reason forever.

Israel doesn’t represent the Jewish people, nor is it antisemitism to criticize israel or be anti zionist!
