False advertising I say

Thank you for the rock :D

Anytime! If you need a suggestion for what kind of cool rock it is, maybe a piece of banded iron? It's left over from when the atmosphere first filled with oxygen, making the iron in the ancient oceans turn from green to red and settle on the ocean floor in layers. It's so cool 🤩

I love you through my screen Da Vinci fan transthaumaturge

Thank you so much!!! <3<3<3

I wanted to live up to my blog name by using a transfem spellcaster as my picture, and fgo Da Vinci felt like a really good fit 😊

My girl is on your phone?!

Yeah! I wondered if you would see that when I reblogged it lol

I've had this picture on my lock screen for a while, I forgot where I originally saved it from.

Happy eighth night of Chanukah! We kept the candles burning for another year and I am so proud of our community and our people.

[transthaumaturge]

Happy seventh night of Chanukah, everyone! I hope you're enjoying getting to fill your homes with more and more light each night. Only one night left, and it'll be the brightest ❤️

unfortunately many people are afflicted with allism

Agreed, it's so unfortunate how they don't even know not to make prolonged eye contact with people. However, I saw an article recently about an allistic man who overcame his tragic disability by competing in the olympics instead of talking to strangers and listening to extremely loud music at the club. He was so brave, it gives me so much hope 🥹

Happy first night of Chanukah, everyone! Chag Sameach, from my home to yours 😊

Coming through! I have polls and a special interest, and I'm not afraid to use them~

Sorry I had to combine a couple options, I know that FS and FSA are completely different games but I only had ten slots 😅

I'll be curious to see what people think! And yes, there IS one wrong answer...

Wait a second, I think the typos are even worse than they look at first glance.

If you zoom in on the promotional art, you start to notice that a number of the letters look...weird. Like they weren't typed out, they were generated.

Yep, the posters were 100% made with a learning algorithm and this was clearly an intentional scam from the beginning.

A Willy Wonka pop-up event in Glasgow had attendees calling the police after they paid £35 and the event didn’t deliver what was promised.

Event goers were promised a whimsical adventure all themed around something Willy Wonka might create in his factory.

The keen-eyed amongst you might have noticed something a little bit…wrong.

Imagnation Lab. Encherining Entertainment. Catgacating. Live perforrmances. Cartchy tunes. Exarserdray lollipops. And my favourite “A pasadise of sweets teats”

But what did the event actually look like? WELL.

Feel like the marketing team got a bit carried away.

Coming through! I have polls and a special interest, and I'm not afraid to use them~

The 2-D Zelda poll can be found here! And if you have suggestions for the non-canon Zelda game poll that I'm planning on putting up later, let me know in the comments 😊

Hi, everyone! The other day I learned some info as a course correction and I figured I would share it with other allies. Some primarily white trans people (including me) and white trans allies have been making the mistake of thinking that #sayhername was applicable to posts regarding the recent murder of British trans girl Brianna Ghey. I used it in one such post that I have since removed it from.

This hashtag was originally developed by the BLM movement as a way to encourage more coverage and awareness of police murders of black people, primarily black women like Breonna Taylor, and is meant for use exclusively for that context. It was not appropriate to use it for Brianna Ghey, who was white and not the victim of police violence.

As a Jewish woman, I'll instead be using '#may her memory be for a blessing' for posts involving Brianna Ghey going forward and will continue in kind for other non-black victims of transphobic violence unrelated to police brutality. I encourage anybody for whom this is news to think of their own tag that would be appropriate to use in place of #sayhername, which is only appropriate to use in its designated context.

I love the saying that a Yid's "Oy" is a prayer in itself, because it means that I do a lot of praying throughout the day. But now that I'm davening like this so often, I'm worried my future children are going to pick it up from me and be kvetching like bubbies and zaydies with achy joints by the time they're three.

Superheroes started out as American Jewish culture, and as a power fantasy for our marginalized people in a similar vein to why we told stories about golems centuries prior--for a people so beaten down, having stories about heroes who fight back on our behalf felt important. I mean, Captain America literally punched Hitler on the cover of his first issue. The empowerment has always been the point.

That art has since been hijacked by shitty corporate interests, but the secret billionaire thing is not the point of the genre and at its core superhero stories can and have been much better than the homogenized MCU trash that we've had to put up with in theaters. If you look at the comics coming out now there's still a lot of good stuff, compelling characters, and diverse writers who still get what these kinds of stories are supposed to be about.

I love magical girls too but they represent a completely different kind of thing and their stories exist for different reasons. The similarities are superficial and these two art forms both deserve respect for what they are. Peter Parker at his core is a working-class Jew from Brooklyn and his story has a point. He matters, and he's not the same as a magical girl. If you were referring to Miles Morales, the point still stands--his story is also about marginalized empowerment and like the rest of the superhero genre, it doesn't deserve to be written off and my people's cultural legacy doesn't deserve to be erased just because capitalists can't art.

america got superheroes and japan got magical girls. i think america is the clear loser here
