Jewish Curly Hair: Info In Description/Pinned Comment (HELP!!!) (Side note anytime I try and take a picture of my curls they don't show up well on camera looking like a blob they look WAY more defined coils in person, I wish my camera pics did them justice! So you could see what I mean! I also would feel better taking pictures cause darn in person they look sexy AF) 

 For Those Who Do Not Know I do have Jewish and Hebrew Blood, My grandfather on my Mother's side (her father) Was Jewish and had Hebrew in his bloodline. I had an aunt or someone who told me the Jewish hair thing, and from the people I met who have that bloodline the older they were the more curley their hair was. I did not believe it until 22 (When I had short hair and it looked like I had a Jewish afro It was out there and poof) After that I also started to lose a lot of hair so I grew it out to start and hide my bald spots. (The bald spots just got bigger and are now harder to hide, so mostly have it up in a ponytail to hide most of them) As I did and got a haircut (a couple years ago) my hair just POOF into curls. I sweat I get curls, I shower and wash my hair I get the sexiest of curls, I brush my hair out I get curls at the very end of my hair that looked like I style my hair. (I have no hair styling stuff) I just use one hair product and that is to tighten curls and defrizz. Is there any better way to treat my curls better and get less curls? I am in help muffins!

Shalom! At the risk of sounding stupid, how do men with long hair wear/have payot?

They just wear their hair normally!

The commandment to have peyot is a negative commandment, meaning the commandment is to not not have peyot. Men are prohibited from shaving their beards and the sides of their heads- if a man does cut his hair short, then he must leave locks of hair at the side.

Just like how short hair hasn't always been the standard masculine cut in Western culture, short hair hasn't always been the standard in Jewish culture. Shaving one's entire head to buzzed or bald varies from outright forbidden to looked down upon, and Kohanim and other Jews have different commandments in regards to hair, so Jewish men's hair has never been super super short. Of course, Nazarites didn't cut their hair at all once they made their vows. Shimshon (Samson) wore his hair in seven braids. The length and style of men's hair likely varied throughout region and time in Ancient Israel.

So, men with long hair have peyot, they're just not prominent because they're part of the rest of the hair lengths.

Having an existential crisis about my mixed hair recently. Ugh

Ya know what shout out to butches who wrestle with our butchness because we don’t fit the mold in some way. Butches who aren’t physically strong or naturally caretaking because of physical disability, who need to be cared for, who can’t hold open the door for a femme. Butches with long hair, butches with big hair, butches who express their culture via their hair. Butches who’s masculinity is shaped by their culture, who’s masculinity doesn’t fit the white eurocentric mold. Fat butches, butches with curves viewed as feminine, butches who don’t have skinny, boyish builds. Butches who don’t want to be sexualized, butches on the ace spectrum. Butches who don’t have traditionally masculine interests or mannerisms or whatever. Effeminate butches. Butches who take inspo from gay men. Butches who like the occasional dress or skirt. TRANSFEM BUTCHES!!!!! And any other butches who don’t fit a certain mold!! All butches are good butches and we are all valid.

I do think the ‘comedy’ of Dracula in this part of the story only adds to the horror. Like we can all go ‘haha lizard fashion’ because it is ridiculous, he’s crawling barefoot on that wall like 🦎

But also fucking imagine a whole ass man skittering down a wall like that, the fact that his cloak is billowing like wings means he must be going fast too bc otherwise it would just fall over his head. (Or idk maybe he is using magic powers to make his cloak look cooler who knows.)

And it’s in his pretending to have servants too, I know, my most popular post rn is calling him a loser for it which he is!! He’s probably really embarrassed about it too bc it’s demeaning for a boyar to do those chores!

But Jonathan doesn’t have the luxury of laughing at this stuff.

One thing that really caught my attention this time is the uncanny valley of it all. From the moment Jonathan meets the Count, he can tell something is off. No matter how thickly he puts on the charm, Dracula can’t hide the fact that he’s not human; he’s something else, a ‘creature in the semblance of a man’, there’s something innately off-putting about his presence. His eyes, his teeth, his hands, his smell: he has the aura of a predator and Jonathan, his prey, can feel it.

From Jonathan’s point of view, every hilarious weird thing the Count does is another sign of him being Not Human, as well as the fact that he’s in total control—as his ruse of normality is slowly falling apart, but there’s still nothing Jonathan can do. The mask is slipping, the Count is revealing his true nature—whether accidentally or on purpose—and Jonathan can only watch and keep pretending in the hope that it will prolong his life.

yeah no not to make it all about Me but i'm still fucking furious that i a jewish woman have been subject to a nonstop torrent of misogynistic antisemitism for the last year in which i have been repeatedly told to kill myself or have my teeth punched in or that my sexual assault or murder wouldn't matter and that i'm an evil human being if i don't believe that 45% of my ethnic group should straight up die and then i find out all these motherfuckers telling me this statistically come from fucking trumpist families while we, jewish women, turned out not to be the root of all conservatism but the second most Harris-voting demographic in the entire country. i think we are owed a fucking apology

Woah it’s them….the guys….

[slyandthefamilybook]

regardless of whether or not you think Jews* are white it's deeply weird seeing people dissect Jewish faces to prove as much

*Jews with pale skin and relatively European-passing features

Hi TG Fandom! 

Okay so, I want us to imagine a world where Goose doesn't die, where the good luck that has followed Maverick his entire life is enough to save them both. 

Maverick, who has miraculously survived the craziest things over the years and continues to do so. He was soloing under a lucky star long before Ice became his guardian angel. 

Imagine they go through Ice’s jetwash the same as before and they go into a flat spin, Maverick is pinned down and can't get his hands free, Goose has to eject them, but his fingers are slipping, fumbling before he finally yanks down on the cords. The canopy gets sucked in too close to the body of the jet with the position they're in, it can't clear completely and Goose screams blindly because he knows he’s going to die. 

He knows he's going to collide with the canopy, but instead he feels like he's curled into a person. 

It’s too warm and all he sees is a flash of dark hair and scared green eyes in the chaos. Mav, what? He's horrified that Mav is somehow in his arms, did their chutes get tangled? He doesn't understand. But he fumbles his hand up, grabbing Mav’s tags just in time for the canopy to collide with Mav’s back. Goose screams until he’s suddenly in the water, he's lost time and there's something clutched in his hand. But Mav grabs him, drags him up on his chest. 

“We’re okay, Goose! We’re okay!”

And they are okay. 

They get out completely unscathed and it’s only when they're on deck, shivering like wet rats, that Goose finally opens his hand. It’s a pair of dog tags — kind of. They're old, and barnacles have grown on the metal and stuck both tags together. It doesn't make sense. 

Mav looks at him like he's lost his marbles when he mentions how their chutes tangled up. 

He feels like he's nuts. But when Goose shows the tags to Viper in the base hospital and tells him what happened, the hardened old man seems to crumple before his eyes. 

It’s only then that Goose notices a class ring, an USNA class ring dangling from that crusted chain. There’s no stone, but he would recognize it anywhere. Mav… Mav didn't go to the Academy. 

“Sir?” Goose asks. 

Viper just mutely shows him the tags, the barnacles peeled away to reveal a notch and the words:

genuinely curious about this.

first three are for matrilineal/patrilineal jews, last three are for converts. pls pick the correct one to avoid data mixture! convert is already converted or in the process!

so...

if you're a goy (not jewish), please don't vote!!

i actually have wavy/curly hair...it changes day to day, lol :D

So I am confusion:

Why are Assad and Hadid sisters brown, but Mizrahi Jew is not brown?

America explain! Explain!

What do you mean “white colonizer”?!

Some of you seem to have misunderstood my posts, so let me be clear;

I support a two state solution

I do not believe the Palestinian people are "barbarians" or "savages"

I believe the Palestinian people belong to the land just as much as the Jewish people

I believe the current conflict in Gaza is a horrific and unnecessary loss of life

I do not support the actions of the IDF or of the Israeli government in this conflict

I believe the targeting of civilians is NEVER acceptable, no matter who does it

I do not support Hamas

I believe Hamas is a terrorist organization

I believe Hamas is oppressing the people of Gaza

I do not hold the Palestinian people responsible for the actions of the gun wielding fanatics who control Gaza
