With the sun in their eyes and the Lord at their backs by National Library of Ireland on The Commons Via Flickr: The Krazy Kataloguers have been at it again describing the beautifully constructed temporary emporium as a "Mission Toy Stall"! The vendor is standing in the shadows of rosary beads while statues of the Virgin Mary and Crucifixes stand on the counter would be objects of devotion rather than play? Apart from all of that the children standing in front of the stall make an interesting contrast. The ones on the left are dazzled by the sunshine and are well shod while those on the right are unaffected by the sun and are barefoot! Photographer: Unknown Collection: Eason Photographic Collection Date: between 1900-1939 NLI Ref: Eas 4070 You can also view this image, and many thousands of others, on the NLI’s catalogue at catalogue.nli.ie

This post is from 2015 but was just “recommended” to me.
I cannot explain enough
1) How absolutely abhorrent this is
2) How the antisemitism that caused this incident has always been there.
3) How the current uptick in antisemitism is directly related to this. When I say people have been waiting for a chance to be antisemitic in public spaces, this is what we are referencing. A lifetime of incidents like this that we’ve all kept to ourselves. Because at least the antisemites were cowardly enough not to openly show their hatred of Jews publicly. They felt that hatred. It’s been simmering in them for years. But there was too real a risk of reprisal from social spheres and maybe even places of employment.
There no real risk in being publicly antisemitic now. Antisemitism is celebrated as though it’s a brave stance. And leftists are the ones who made it so. Not because they support Palestine, but because they have repeatedly demonstrated that Jewish life holds no value to them except tokenized support of their prejudice.
I’m not one to say “I’ll never forgive.” But I will say this: forgiveness seems far, far out of reach at the moment. And forgetting? Not even possible.
Mezuza desecrated
A Jewish family in Houston, Texas found this on their door. Somebody took the mezuzah off the door, took out the scroll inside, drew a swastika on it and left it on the door. 0404

Ohhh, I'm rereading Mystra's entry in the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide... and this detail:
This means Gale was punished for trying to restore and preserve what he thought was a lost piece of Mystra's magic. Gale being Mystra's ex-lover put aside. He as her follower, she his goddess, was punished for attempting to do the one foundational rule of her faith.
I'm seething and so sad at the same time.
Edit: I used the word punish loosely, as in, toxic/abusive people will take any small mistake or action and twist it into something they can take advantage of. This post was also largely from the stand point of a toxic deity rather than a toxic partner, but both takes are valid here. Especially with the, “you didn’t stay compliant so now I’m giving you the silent treatment” part of it—from a god and a partner perspective.

I’m sorry but you can’t make me like her or excuse her treatment towards gale after that knowledge#sorry I’m getting heated but goodness I have to say it or it’s going to make me implode

another thing that bourdieu says that I feel very deeply is that if you investigate any social phenomena long enough you arrive at the state. I didn’t start in academia particularly interested in the state as an object of study but it has ended up being completely unavoidable
#it’s become an obsession even. and no one else noticed or cares ! wah#feels in some ways inevitable my politics would fall to communism as opposed to anarchism. hard to argue with leviathan yanno#like the closest I get to Marxist theology is an account of the state. NOT as a religious object I just mean like politically#the state serves the same modern function as religious institutions historically did. which is not a remotely novel or original observation#I need to read more abt political theology & Marxist theology. one day …….

“the past is a grotesque animal” 8” x 10” canvas with acrylic paint, crayon, oil pastel, posca pen, & nail polish
i started this one the same day i started the last one if it wasn’t obvious by the theme of fan being the focus and an of montreal song being the inspiration,,, i just finished this one later because it’s bigger & i WANTED to use clay on this but i don’t know where my clay is….. MAYBE I’LL FIND IT NEXT TIME!!!!!! (HOPEFULLY) ALSO i know this one’s more choppy and messy and not as clean/flat colored as the last painting but that was SORT OF the point and also I REALLY DONT LIKE PAINTING LAYERS IT TAKES TOO LONG AND I AM VERY IMPATIENT … so i use crayon instead heheh
other versions as well!!!!! this time i put the non-shiny/glittery one as a secondary variation because the quality is SO BAD AND IT SCREWED THE COLORS UP . also kind of figured out how to get the glow in the dark to show up on camera … it’s brighter in real life & i had to use SO MANY FILTERS just 4 that 2 show up…….

Paper Amulet, Germany ca. 1775
According to the museum: "This very esthetic amulet was written in Germany. When its use was finished, it was put into the Genizah of the synagogue in Westheim in Bavaria, where it was found about 35 years ago. This example shows clearly how such amulets were folded, place in some sort of enclosure and kept in the owners clothing or purse. The inscriptions indicate that the purpose of the amulet is a general protection for the bearer. Some of the inscriptions are written in micrographic script. In the very center is a six celled magic square with Hebrew letters of one of the names of Lilith. The scribe who wrote this amulet possessed an excellent esthetic sensibility. The large letters around the perimiter and around the magic square in the center are all names of protective angels."

Yellow - Godhood as Dehumanisation

Reblogs appreciated 👍
This is how a girl becomes holy: first she becomes empty, becomes nothing but absence.
YELLOW: Humans put so much stock in hope. Hoping for a greater outcome, hoping for a better result, hoping for a brighter tomorrow. You waste away the hours, waste away your lives. Watch as the sea beds dry up, as hope takes the water away from you. Hope is unique to you and your kind. Even animals know that hope is a wasted feeling. It's why you're so weak.
[Rem, Misa] Try as you might, you will not understand it [Rem] Love is for mortals and fools
I am God- Without one friend, Alone in my purity World without end.
YELLOW: You know nothing about what has happened to me. I have grown more powerful than I ever was with you. ARTHUR: Power?
(The Dodo and the Dragon) I have become something winged, dark and undying; something that no longer exists.
you're not a person anymore, just a personification. you're a concept, an abstraction. all neatly defined boundaries and borders, none of the vagueries or blurring of lines or grey areas that come from being mortal. you can never change, now. never grow or evolve. you are this, forever, stagnant. and the thing you've been made to embody might not even be your best trait.
KING IN YELLOW: Ignorant. Foolish. Mortal.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to not have to turn to stone?
YELLOW (loathing): Friends! What a waste.
So I guess I am an outcast And I guess I am a monster And I guess I am a god
