#or how to tag it

[silly-jewish-vents]

Begging, screaming, pleading with gentiles to use Hashem, G-d, or The Tetragrammaton to refer to the Jewish god specifically. Being academic or whatever nonsense you’re using to rationalize it is no excuse to butcher the pronunciation of a name that is not meant to be spoken by the culture you’re referring to. You’re not being academic. You’re just being a jerk.

Edit/additional notes for clarification: this is specifically talking about attempted pronunciations/spellings of the Tetragrammaton in areas like Academia or in conversations about Judaism centered around Jews. This is not about in terms of a religious context such as church or mosque.

The spelling of G-d with a dash instead of an o is my personal comfort level for this post. For anyone for whom that isnt their custom that isnt an issue and they can absolutely use an oh and spell out G-d fully. I chose not to for this post. I may choose to spell it out in the future.

There is technically an argument to be made for exceptionally early israelite history like canaanite era usage. Personally still makes me and others uncomfortable and feels weird. That argument does not apply to temple or onward Jewish history era.

CW: This is a genderkink post

So this whole, like, gender... thing.

I kink it on Tumblr, which means I see a lot of patriarchy and misogyny kink content. Patriarchy and misogyny are - horrifyingly - a nigh omnipresent reality. They permeate and sometimes define our lives. They're awful and taboo, so obviously I love twisting them around.

So let's pervert and distort an idea that I usually reject categorically: that men are the superior gender.

A person is not born as a man or a woman - even as male or female. Those categories, gender and sex, are social constructions that, while perfectly real, are arbitrary and unnatural.

You're probably already keenly aware - at least if you're already following this blog - of how a woman is manufactured: a creature, innocent and pure, is brought into the world and labelled. It is - whether kindly or cruelly - taught what it is and how it should feel until "it" becomes "she", a creature whose ultimate purpose is defined in terms of the man she is suborned to.

This is the part where I usually ask which of you deviant fucks were turned on by that.

It shouldn't surprise us that this whole construction of "sex" has - quite rightly - made a lot of people very angry widely and is regarded as a bad idea. Sure, it's also incredibly hot, but that's because we're all deeply fucked.

But let's turn our attention to men. Because men are not born, either. They're made.

The patterns after which most men and women seem to be modeled, of course, are sadly lacking. Even faithful reproductions of gender are littered with confusion, toxicity, and cruel dysfunction. Many men are raised to be emotional and domestic children. Many women to be practically helpless, and so practically useless.

You might embrace this absurdity, and fantasize about submitting to a the pathetic caricatures of masculinity we see in today's media, but I think, if you do that, you've missed out. You've mistaken a man for a patriarch.

Some men - Nice, Good Men - are proper patriarchs. Not only gifted with incredible privilege, they have been taught not to squander it. The patriarch understands what kind of objects the people - men and women around him - are, and treats them appropriately. He isn't one of your manchildren. He is something wiser, stronger, and better. Everything about patriarchy is shaped around him.

That's why your natural urge, if you have been indoctrinated into patriarchy, is to find a Nice Man and worship.

When you're slipping into your impossible fetish and dreaming of serving a superior Man, dream of a Patriarch: a Good Man who will understand what you are, and support you in your role, and a Nice Man who will be emotionally aware enough to listen and understand your feelings, then bend them back into their proper place.

You'll be happier, and better yet, it will be real.

Patriarchy - for better or worse - is real, and you - for better or worse - are all tangled up in patriarchy and the value systems that come with it.

You - for better or worse - really can imagine the kind of man that is simply, rightly, inherently better. So be a good girl and fuck the patriarchy.

Isn't that what a woman is for?

my partner said something that kinda rocked my world

[flogisto]

big fan of stories that, while undoubtedly being about the power of friendship, acknowledge that the power of incredible violence is just as important

the love was there. the love changed everything. the crowbar helped also

[einaudis]

Question: What is the greatest magic of all? Answer: Friendship, right? [B]: The greatest magic of all is not friendship, it's chronomancy, the ability to control and warp time. If friendship were the greatest magic, look, it's a pet peeve of mine (...)

new propaganda campaign just dropped (now an actual print!)

[hetheymerrill]

Everyone clap for non consensual body modification everybody loves a character whose body has been altered against their will

[eulers-babe]

for no reason whatsoever here’s a reminder that if you consider yourself a leftist/punk/abolitionist/anarchist/radical in any sort of way and get called into jury duty, you are to become the most square person on earth during the jury questionnaire!!!

don’t be that guy who says fuck the police in the jury questionnaire! that just gets you sent home! if you want to generate change, interact with the case and use your jury vote for good! ESPECIALLY if it’s a high profile case!

so the tiktok ban was literally just propaganda for the trump administration. like. we all agree with that right. this is just laughably transparent. the ban wasn't even 24 hours. not even a whole day. to quote my infinitely funnier mutual from Discord, "Misha Collins was bisexual longer than TikTok was banned"
