every time an American says "Legos" my ears spin around and fall off

for the confused Americans in the replies:

[dragon-in-a-fez]

growing up in Canada (and as far as I know this is also generally how it's used in Europe) we treated "lego" as a collective like "rice" or "water". every time I hear someone say they're "playing with legos" it sounds like "eating a bowl of rices".

[galahadenough]

While lego as a plural sounds incredibly wrong (not saying it is, just feels wrong) your post has now given me the contrary urge to call rice “rices”

Since I was a kid, I’ve always had a deep fascination with mythology, mythological creatures, etc.. Recently though, I’ve realized I know very little about my own cultures mythology, and so my question to Jumblr is this: where can I find information on Jewish mythology? What books are good to read, where can I find reliable video essays, stuff like that?

.

[robot-roadtrip-rants]

Elijah’s Violin

Lilith’s Cave

Sefer HaAggadah/The Book of Legends is one of the best collections of midrashim out there.

For Ashkenazi Jews specifically, I’d recommend looking for collections about Herschel of Ostropol and the town of Chelm. I believe the Baal Shem Tov has a lot of folklore surrounding him as well (sometimes he’s referred to by his given name, Israel ben Eliezer).

And finally, Jewish fantasy books that draw upon Jewish folklore and culture:

The Golem and the Jinni

The Familiar

The Mirror Realm Cycle

When Angels Came to the New World

The Golem of Brooklyn

And while it’s not exactly supernatural, I’d include Satan in Goray in this category.

sorry i never replied or called back there's something very lonely inside me

[vampirebeverage]

I am fucking BEGGING transmascs (and everyone else) to not let the animosity of a VERY SMALL GROUP of very online transfems impact how you interact with transfems or think about transfems.

please, please, please remember that this "hating transmascs" and "kill all TMEs" bullshit is just a few edgy weirdos on the internet who enjoy saying inflammatory things for shock value.

transfems are not your enemy, and YES, you do actually need to unlearn transmisogyny. Not because you're transmasc, but because we live in a transmisogynistic society.

transfems are not a hivemind, there's no broader transfem consensus that transmascs are Evil Privileged Abusers, but the small group of people who think that way WANT you to believe that they are representative of trans women everywhere. they're super not. they really are just a handful of angsty people online looking for someone to pick on.

all trans people have more commonalities than differences. there aren't two distinct species of trans people from two different planets, there are just trans people with a wide diversity of experiences and walks of life. we are all affected by the same systems of oppression.

find community and mutual support with transfems. build solidarity and have conversations about how we can help each other. the only way we all get through this shit is together.
