as much as i love participating in FIRST and FRC i can't help but feel so dissapointed at how,,, usamerican it is. like its this super cool competition marketed as this "wow were giving kids steam tools to become the better versions of themselves!!" but then you look a little into it and theyre sponsored by the cia and the us department of defense and boeing and bae systems and so on, litteral groups who profit from mass death and you start to see it isnt really for making future scientists who will fix the world or something its just to make more american military complex workers. why waste your precious engineering skills doing something useless like helping others when you can help us make bigger and worse bombs! but #womeninstem so its okay guys

Good morning Hatchetfield!

This blog will be going on a short hiatus as I go back to school and figure out how to juggle my new work-dance-school-con schedule

During this hiatus the askbox will be closed but submissions and dms will remain open. I will be adding everything that's currently in the inbox to the queue.

As knew submissions appear I will add them as I can, but I will be taking a break from the usual daily posts.

For everyone going back to school this fall, good luck! I expect to be back on schedule by October! 💚

Mm. Just spent half my evening digging around to find ANYTHING within a few hours of me I could join, like a hobby group or class or any kind of queer meetup. There's quite literally nothing except for business startup scams and religious meetings. 2 little craft or holiday events for elementary kids if you're lucky.

I don't know why I expected to find anything else, I already knew this place was a complete wasteland but I guess I thought maybe something else would've popped up in the last couple years. Instead the 2 (literally TWO) things I'd been vaguely interested in last year have been shut down.

I have GOT to find a way to move states before this hellhole kills me. But I'm struggling to figure out how to accomplish that without leaving my parents fucked over, esp since if The Beast makes good on his promises they'll be even poorer and lose what little healthcare they have. And if I lose mine I'll end up in the ER within the month. Fuck.

Hey there, quick goofy question. I'm currently converting reform and I'm having deep fear I will not be Jewish "enough" from all the conversations I've seen. I also worry if I, one day, decide I want to go to a conservative congregation or perhaps something other than reform I'm going to be a "fraud." At the end of the day, does it matter? Will I really not be Jewish enough?

This is a tough question.

It's kind of a case-by-case basis for whether a Conservative rabbi will accept a Reform conversion. In most cases, if the brit milah/hatafat dam brit and mikveh weren't required by this conversion, then Conservative rabbis won't accept it, or if the rabbi believes a certain level of knowledge wasn't attained. It would be wrong if I said that all Conservative rabbis don't accept Reform conversions, or if I said that they all do. It really depends on each rabbi's stance, how the conversion was done, and how "sincere" they think the convert is/how much they know. I've known Conservative rabbis who don't even question people who say they converted Reform and are totally okay with it, and I've met others who have a more traditional stance and don't accept any conversions but Conservative or Orthodox. So, if one day you decide you want to go to a Conservative synagogue, there's no guarantee they will see you as Jewish. It's not because they want to be mean or because of you personally, but instead is because of fundamental differences in how the Torah/Talmud is viewed and taught, the role it is expected to play in your life, and differing standards for what a conversion should look like. The only movements of Judaism that are certain to accept your conversion are Reform and (I believe) Reconstructionist.

To your last question "Will I really not be Jewish enough?" the answer is yes, no, and it depends. Every single Jew you meet is going to have an opinion (or several) about which conversions they view as valid, so you're going to run into Jews who don't see you as Jewish. Whether that matters is up to you, how you personally want to conduct your life, and what communities you want to live in.

Natsuki Is So Much More Than His Ditzy Behavior: Part 2

In June of Natsuki's route in Repeat LOVE, Natsuki explains why he applied to the idol program at Saotome Gakuen despite being lauded as a genius violinist — and later violist — in his childhood.

The dialogue text is pretty long, so it'll go under the cut.

Note: I transcribed the Japanese manually from the Switch port, but I'm only human. All translations are my own.

【来栖　翔】:「おかえり〜。じゃねぇよ、この天然スケコマシ！まったく、お前は昔から……」 【来栖　翔】:「あ…………。悪い……昔のことは、あんまり言わない方がよかったか……」 昔？ 【四ノ宮那月】:「ん？……昔って？」 【来栖　翔】:「だから……ほら、あれだよ、小学校ん時のさ……ヴァイオリンのコンクール、控え室……一緒だったろ、俺と……」 【来栖　翔】:「お前、ぼけっとしてて、自分の出番も忘れてて、でも、ステージに立ったら、女子にキャーキャー言われてさ……」 【来栖　翔】:「それから……その……。��ごかった……。俺なんか絶対勝てないかっこいい演奏だった……」 【四ノ宮那月】:「んーーーーー？おかしいですねぇ。記憶にありません。確かにヴァイオリンもやっていましたが」 【四ノ宮那月】:「翔ちゃんと出会っていたら絶対覚えていると思うのに……。うーーん」 【来栖　翔】:「てんめぇ、俺なんか、眼中にねぇってことかよっ」 【四ノ宮那月】:「そ、そうじゃなくて……ごめん。あの頃の記憶ってすごく曖昧で……。だから……、自分でもよくわからなくて」 【来栖　翔】:「お前がヴァイオリンやめて、ヴィオラをやり始めたって聞いた時もショックだったけど……」 【来栖　翔】:「でも、お前のヴィオラを聴いて、悔しいけど、感動した。だから、それでもいいかって思った」 【来栖　翔】:「それなのに……。なんで……。なんでそれすらやめちゃったんだよ」 【四ノ宮那月】:「それは……。それは……僕が弱いから……」 【来栖　翔】:「え…………？」 【四ノ宮那月】:「ヴィオラはとても奥深くて……。どれだけ頑張っても自分で納得のいく音は出せなくて」 【四ノ宮那月】:「でも……みんなは僕の中途半端な音を褒めてくれて。それで十分だって……」 【四ノ宮那月】:「僕がどんなに違うって言っても、誰もわかってくれなくて……。誰も僕のしたい音を教えてはくれなかった」 【四ノ宮那月】:「答えのない道をただひたすらに進むのかとそう……思ったら、すごく怖くなったんだ。その道は果てしなく長くて、遠い……」 【来栖　翔】:「……那月……」 【四ノ宮那月】:「ホントいうとね。今も怖いんだ。アイドルが歌うのを見て、すごく楽しそうで、僕もあんな風に音を楽しめたらって」 【四ノ宮那月】:「そう思って、この学校を受験したんだ。でも……。歌にも正解なんかない。自分で作っていくしかないってって気がついた」 【四ノ宮那月】:「でも……。でもね……。今、僕はひとりじゃないから」 【四ノ宮那月】:「あなたが……。そして翔ちゃんがいてくれる。誰かがそばにいて、一緒に悩んでくれる」 【四ノ宮那月】:「それがすごく嬉しくて。頑張ろうって……。頑張れるって思ったんだ。今度は答えを見つけられそうな気がするから」

Kurusu Syo: Don't "I'm back~" me, you airheaded Casanova! Jeez, you've always been like this. Syo: Ah...... Sorry. Maybe I shouldn't talk about the past. The past? Shinomiya Natsuki: Hm? The past? Syo: Like... You know, back when... we were in elementary school... At a violin competition. We were... in the same waiting room, you and me. Syo: You were spacing out and forgot your turn. But when you got on the stage, all the girls were screaming for you. Syo: And then... You... You were amazing. I thought I'd never win against your performance. Natsuki: Hmmmmmmm? That's weird. I don't remember. It's true I used to play the violin, though. Natsuki: But I'd totally remember if I met you back then. Bummer. Syo: So you didn't even pay attention to me, huh? Natsuki: That's— not what I meant... Sorry. My memories from back then were a blur... So... I don't really know myself. Syo: It was a shock to me when I found out you quit playing the violin and started playing the viola... Syo: But when I heard your viola, even though it was frustrating, I felt so moved by it. So I wondered if you were okay with that. Syo: But even then... Why... Why did you quit that too? Natsuki: That's... Because I'm weak... Syo: Huh......? Natsuki: There's so much to the viola... No matter how hard I worked, I couldn't play the way I wanted to. Natsuki: But... everyone praised my half-hearted playing. They said it was enough... Natsuki: No matter how much I said that wasn't it, no one understood me. No one could teach me how to play the way I wanted. Natsuki: When I... thought about continuing to devote myself to a path without a destination, I felt so scared. The path seems so long and endless... So far away... Syo: ... Natsuki... Natsuki: To tell the truth, I'm scared even now. When I saw idols singing and looking like they were having so much fun, I thought I could be like that too. Natsuki: That's what I thought, so I applied to this school. But... there's no right answer in this kind of music either. I've realized that I have to make it on my own. Natsuki: But... You know... I'm not alone anymore. Natsuki: 'Cause you're here... And Syo-chan, too. There's someone with me to think things through. Natsuki: It makes me so happy. When you say, "Let's do it together," I feel I can do it. Because this time, I can find the solution.

From the conversation, you can see kid!Natsuki felt lonely as a genius violinist, so he decided to move to the viola, but it didn't work either. It pained him to keep playing string instruments because things weren't working out for him.
