One of the philosophical/theological differences between judaism and other religions is how we conceive of the consequences of doing bad things.
I just heard someone say, "well jews don't believe in hell, so why don't you-" and just never sits right with me that the only thing that could prevent you from acting in bad ways are the threat of an eternal punishment. The implication that you shouldn't care about the consequences of your actions on the worldly level are astounding as well.
I care about not doing bad because it hurts people - myself included. Even if I did believe in hell... It wouldn't factor into how I live life. I fundamentally don't agree that we should treat this life and this world as a temporary home - a rest stop - where our actions only matter insofar as it affects where you go in the afterlife.
#jumblr#personal thoughts tag#i think that's also why you have apathy from people about things like climate change and social issues#because if you think of this life as a short stop to Eternal Bliss™ you don't NEED to care about the material world#in fact you'll just distract yourself from earning your spot in Eternal Bliss™#and the people who DO care about the Worldly Things are just in denial about jow much they want Eternal Bliss™#obviously that's a generalization of a mindset that i have seen before that not everyone will believe in#the only thing i feel the need to believe in is g-d and that He wants me to LIVE g-ddamnit

r u chill w non transitioning ppl?
Why wouldn't I be? At one point, every trans person who is transitioning was once someone who wasn't (whether or not that was a choice or their need is a separate discussion).
Hatred of any kind of trans person is not a Righteous or Good Thing - every single trans person has their place, their entitlement to safety, community, and respect of who they are
#ask#anon#trans#transgender#lgbt#lgbtq#ftm#mtf#nonbinary#when i was a kid i cared way more about Earning a spot - about every trans person Proving ourselves#and then i grew up in many ways and experienced many unfortunate things - as a kid who couldn't transition nonetheless#that quickly sobered me to the reality that it doesn't matter what you do or don't do as a trans person#divided we fall. you canNOT give into the divide and conquer strategy - you will NEVER survive#the second you decide that some trans people are worth discarding entirely is the second you set a precedent#and that precedent will eventually choke you. that precedent WILL exclude you eventually#i think a lot of people end up in the place of You Have To Earn Your Spot because they think it will save them...#...those ridged requirements tell you what you need to do to Earn Being Alive...#...if there is no goal where you have earned unconditional respect and security what is there to do?#what would the point be? why should trans people even bother if we aren't guaranteed safety over all?#that misses the true foundation for so many of those requirements is control - not safety or respect#as i have transitioned medically i've learned so much about what the point is#in so many ways i have had really negative experiences because of transitioning - but the joy always outweighs the pain#that joy is what made it worth it

Me, logging onto ReverbNation and seeing this: "Uh-huh. Sure. I know how these music-promotion websites work. I somehow doubt this is as impressive as it sounds..."
I click "View My Chart Rank" and see...
...so I'm the top of the charts for the "Americana" genre, in Berlin. A genre-and-location combo in which there are apparently only two artists competing. What did I tell you?
/laughs in jaded, world-weary indie music artist
#indie musicians#reverbnation#musicians on tumblr#cosmo gyres#personal#it's very easy to be 'the stand-out artist' when your genre is americana and your location is... not-america#this is like those automated messages saying 'congrats you earned a spot on our Emerging Artists playlist! just pay $50 to reserve it now!'#or 'hi I'm a scout for [weird label name] and I love your song [insert latest upload here]! I would love to help you get more exposure...'#(that's the point at which i usually stop reading)#(because they're not about to 'help me get more exposure' for free)#(i've seen all this shit before and i'm not particularly invested in 'making it in the biz' at this point)#(i'm just happy if some folks hear my music and find it meaningful for them in one way or another)#anyway time to go check out puppery's music i guess#i always like supporting fellow americana-abroad artists

Read a very good post about how you should take note of how people in power (famous artists, in this specific case) treat their assistants and those in their vicinity who can't fight back and it brings to mind a specific anecdote abt John K that I read a few days ago where he got so bent out of shape about one of his colleagues dating his ex girlfriend that he tried to get said colleague's credit removed from shit he actually fully worked on
#also I keep saying this but it bears repeating: I don't care how good of an artist you are. If you fuck over the people around you and treat#them poorly then all that talent sours in my eyes eternally#Everybody yukks on uhhh. what was the name of that buzzfeed dear david guy#for his cookie-cutter template art#and to be clear: not really a fan of that#HOWEVER the first thing that comes to mind whenever his name comes up is that fuckin curdled tweet of his where he was like#'I earned my spot. Focus on your $5 deviantart commissions'#just completely unwarranted and cruel for no reason bc someone criticized him for being racist and misogynist in his comics. bleguh

the ricochet attack really feels like he was rewatching the fletcher/ospreay match on his phone from the locker that swerve shoved him into backstage and saw the headbutting spot and he said "that was cool i'm gonna do that"
#you know what's worse than an ass kisser? a poser#they earned that headbutting spot. ricochet you've been hear less than 6 months and mvp called you a loser. know your place#show some respect to swerve strickland. and nana as well#aew

Okay so got something fun to share, basically I enjoyed Birds of different feathers SO MUCH more than I thought I did 'cause I literally dreamt scenes of it last night?? (particularly Chapter 8 where Kaisa gets soaked and she and Hilda try to make dinner :>) and I woke up completely unaware I'd dreamt the fic but it was all still ingrained in my memory 'cause then I thought to myself "Man I sure love that part in the show, but wait, I can't remember what episode was it from what was it again?" and then it hit me that it WASN'T from the show it was from your fic, I've been so deeply enthralled and immersed in your work that I literally convinced myself that it was something that happened in canon somehow 😭
I guess this is just my long winded way of saying Birds of different feathers was one of the best Hilda fics I've ever read thus far that it led me to that effect and experience :> It's genuinely just such a beautifully written and thought-out story that made me feel so much and I haven't been able to stop revisiting and thinking about it (nor do I want to stop) <33
This ask has been sitting in my inbox since yesterday and honestly I was tempted to just keep it there so I could come back and look at it every now and then. This means so much to me, you don’t even know. I’m very very glad my writing was able to resonate with you. Thank you so much for your support and for letting me know 💜💜
#I absolutely adore your tags on my fics btw. I always come back to reread them they mean a lot 💜#whenever someone tells me my silly writing has been able to actually touch them in some way I ascend to nirvana.#this is the absolute best thing about writing#I’m honoured the fic could earn a spot in your subconscious haha#💜💜💜#wife answers asks

Really wish someone had told me the first Saw film had a plot not dissimilar from a gay porno because I would’ve watched it soooo much earlier.
#the void (2016) completely rewired my brain so gore doesn’t bother me half as much as it used to#so i’m just now getting around to the Saw films and uh….#saw 2004#saw movies#wish i had whatever Adam and Lawrence had going on#definitely earns a spot in the pantheon of god-tier horror film romances#also happy anniversary to the film#cut your foot off in a saw trap only to experience 9/11 the next day 💀#chainshipping

that one cutscene where Shaundi’s at the gym, like you really feel like it’s Like That just so they could put boob jiggle on her, but like... Boss questions how she’s in such good shape despite her habits. and she’s trying to play it so cool by saying she’s “full of surprises” like bet she was not able to sprint a mile without coughing up a lung before the VC incident. it’s why she started working out - she wants to be strong not just for herself and for the gang, but also because she wants to kick Johnny’s ass... because that would impress Boss. the logic is crystal clear and it’s dumb as shit, she fits among Boss and Johnny like a fist in an eye
#her and Johnny go to the gym together and you know it. i'd say he does not realize the fate that awaits him but#bet she's literally like ''hey gat i wanna be able to beat you up can you spot me. what should i work on next so i can kick your teeth in''#the Boss - Shaundi dynamic really is delightful once u get into it. i see why ppl ship them#too bad it's so aggressively heterosexualized in the game because game was made by dudebros in the late 00s#even then though if you read her drive to impress Boss as romantic in nature she STILL feels like she has to go through Johnny#to truly earn their respect and interest. that's so fuckin funny to me. V just couldn't help themselves#sr writing and character stuff

Unfortunately I am sensitive about people looking down on my alma mater and acting like it’s not a “smart” school.
It’s a land grant university so it’s whole purpose is to provide educational opportunities to people in the state… I don’t really care if your school had higher test scores because it only took out of state kids with doctors for parents. It’s still a top 50 university in the country and has multiple departments ranked top 10 in their field.
YOU need to think long and hard about your personal values if you think you’re so woke and smart but look down on people who choose a land grant university !
#I mean I wouldn’t encounter this anywhere near as much if I wasn’t in the job I am where ‘elite’ schools are common#I don’t care if you feel superior for going to a private school!!!#you might never know if you really earned your spot here or if it was your advisor or school name that got you here#but I know that I worked my ass off and got here on merit alone. no advisor pulling favors no fancy school name baby it was all me !#some of the comments I’ve gotten from people are actually outrageous. people have SUCH narrow world views

@mamoriitai : “Senpai” within her grasp, the cursed corpse wiggles, wishing to break free as she treats them like an ordinary toy. Knuckles that became bright red, her hands still felt too soft as she looked upwards, the flicker of a grinning running across pale lips. “I feel bad if I fight this puppet, it’s too cute!” she speaks with hidden intentions, the calm demeanor breaking through as long legs press against her chest, fangs that nestle within the rabbit’s mouth, she was never to be prey yet picked each battle with precision && care. “While it’s unorthodox, would you care to spare with me? Maybe then I won’t feel so bad when I lose composure, these dolls are really harsh critics!” wickedness cracks the demeanor of an innocent first year, curious with her scathing gaze, she then tilts her head before taunting. “Don’t be scared - I’ll go easy on you”
Nani? In motional response to the call, headphones were pulled out of his ears, pausing the buzzing beats of music coming from Walkman mp3 player. Someone's calling -- - and for once daring to disturb his problem-free philosophy; aka slacking, but in fact, he hardly ever slacked pointlessly, unlike his soulfull friend. In the meantime he but accidentally found and carried a strange comic book lying forgotten near one of Toro, but with vivid knowledge of Mei Mei sharing it with Utahime during their last visit from Kyōto exchange. Such a kind soul was the one who planned to deliver it back. But girls and their secrets - he did not dare to look out its content, survival instinct kicked strong. He could not internally suppress nor discard remembering the version of the Sanskrit tale - Gyokuto ; tsuki no usagi or getto (moon rabbit) for who crossed his path. '' Sayuri-san, '' his echo chimes pleasantly on the verge of curiosity but greeting her from afar all together in warm tune. Albeit using -chan instead of -san hung strongly on his tongue, such urge ended bitten back well as prevention for such application. There were times when Gioconda's countenance was easier to read than Suguru's unless he let himself a bit loose, like right now. His overall idiosyncrasy wasn't as atypical as current mannerism, though the inherently deceitful bunny would be spared to yawn in wait only for his latent manifestation of tease to debouch.
“Don’t be scared - I’ll go easy on you”
? '' Oh, what's that, some morning boldness? ''
Darkish eyebrows curiously tic-tremors in up-down flash, raising hand comes closer to Obsidian-decored lobe and low croon takes place; as if he pretentiously 'misheard' what his Kōhai said amid their mutual introspection.
Most people would be chary, but Suguru was not going to address such indisputably welcoming grin, instead, he chose to simply entertain hidden enthusiasm when challenge presented itself between sharp teeth and well-hidden veil of silver gentleness. Such carnival culmination to call Friday a day.
ㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤI am not underestimating you today, Usagi. ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤTry and hunt me.

'' Are you done beating your messmates (*Haibara and Nanami ) to ascend to another level? Though, Satoru makes a better boxing bag. ''
He would also remember Satoru's one-time remark, or rather complain(?) 'Iwasaki can be just as scary as Shoko!' where Geto would just frown upon and wonder 'what's so scary about her?' Funny thing, their perception quite changed since then, but so far each first year earned his favor.
Within carefully assembled range even footsteps brought the Curse Eater closer to Sayuri in prompt cadence and the creature responsible for sonorous drumming against petite frame. Supported by chin-hand gasture - curious peer falls all the way at living, skeletal, malformation kicking to break free; quite a vertebrae nerve it got. The Cursed Corpses were usually such limpets; especially when they ambushed out of nowhere. Even more variable would be the image of him slightly pouting at evocative token of his persona not being cuter than kicking pest. Hand relocates position from chin to few patting taps upon Corpse's head. Earning them another hilarious evocation in the form of discontent noises for another person treated it as a toy.
Head tips lower, humming in full-fledging acknowledgment, '' Yaga really outdid himself with this one; it's way cuter than the rest he made so far. '' Speaking of which, lately their Sensei has been too preoccupied with preparations for lounging in the next Principal seat than to pay attention to anyone's antics; so the training grounds were all theirs to demolish to heart's content. As for himself, maybe he was even grateful for such circumstantial concurrence to withdraw him from further bitterness linked to annomaly of his technique ... and vile thoughts spinning around humanity as a whole.
" Let's drop him somewhere where he won't terrorize the rest, then -, '' but now due to contention of their tête-à-tête he found himself slightly smirking right back at her with mysteriously aureate gleam in his eyes, '' -let's see who's stark enough to eat critics of defeat. " ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ I shall be your spar partner today.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
