white jewish converts have got to stop being weird about racial identity, your conversion absolutely makes you as jewish as the next guy but it doesn't fuckin stop you being white, conversion is not an honorary poc card, and just like being queer, your marginalisation as a jew doesn't absolve you of white privilege

Trump guilty on all 34 counts but now we get to hear republicans talk about how a convicted felon should get to run for office even though felons can’t vote (besides in Maine and Vermont wtf guys)

I’m still thinking about how at work, me and a couple of people were talking about languages and they asked which ones I was learning to which I calmly responded Hebrew because I am converting to Judaism. The first thing out of this woman’s mouth was “Are you anti-Zionist?” And when I explained that it was complicated but I didn’t want innocent Palestinians to die she just looked at me in disgust and didn’t speak to me the rest of my shift.

and people still ask why I’m weary

realizing i use ‘oy vey’ when im talking to ppl irl/texting w someone im comfortable with or have a somewhat close relationship with, and i use ‘oh boy’ online and in situations when i don’t know the person very well

it’s ironic bc like. yeah i’m subconsciously switching off the yiddish out of fear (shouldn’t have to do that!!! even unconsciously!!!) but i am also. wearing a star of david necklace. like babes yiddish isn’t going to give anything away that you haven’t already unless their blind lmfao

anyway. slay 👍

Yesterday, I used corn starch instead of powdered sugar on my quickie biscuit sufganiyot. And I kept putting more on wondering why it wouldn’t get any sweeter. Oy vey.

By the time I realized my mistake, most were scarfed down by family already with complaints that they weren’t sweet enough.

At least they looked pretty.

I have no time or energy to write this right now, but imagine Leia in the Double Agent Vader 'verse, sent back in time to the Clone Wars. She knows the general history of the war and how it ended, but her father died before he could tell her anything significant she might need to know going forward. And maybe she doesn't really need to know that Count Dooku was a Sith Lord, but that's certainly something she wouldn't have learned on her own until someone mentions it in the past (it's Ahsoka). And Leia already knows that Palpatine is a Sith Lord.

And suddenly, she gets it. She understands the Clone Wars. Of course it destabilized the galaxy and allowed Palpatine to grab power — but with him on one side and his apprentice on the other, that has to mean that he engineered it. To destabilize the galaxy, give him an army, allow him to grab power, and kill off as many Jedi as possible in such a way that no one would ever suspect it.

Like, we already know this, but imagine Leia realizing it. Imagine her in her early twenties, first fighting Depur and his military with everything she's got and now helping in the Clone Wars in any way she can, and imagine her realizing just how much of her reality was engineered by one man. How much pain and death he's wrought, not as Emperor but before that, and when she's right in the thick of it. All the soldiers she's seen cut down, just to build a reality controlled by a monster.

Imagine Anakin Skywalker being the one to comfort her when she doesn't react well. The father of her best friend. The man who reminds her eerily of Ekkreth (and maybe, just maybe, he really is Ekkreth, just young and unfinished). And maybe it's her reaction to the revelation that sets things in motion, a cascade of revelations that will culminate in her being introduced, finally, to the woman she recognizes as her mother...

When the grocery store knows something Jewish is happening but they don’t know what. Here, have some matzo-halvah-Dr Browns-yahrzeit candles. Hey, they don’t eat wheat at their holidays, right? Throw some rice cakes in there, too.
