SHRIMP COCKTAIL:
banahbanah: #flashback to that one fic where Peter Parker frets about drinking shrimp cocktail because of the alcohol

#why is your character turning it down because they're under 21 #do you think prawn cocktail is a cocktail #this lives in my brain rent-free constantly #the rest of the fic was so normal #and good enough that i'll still re-read it #but bro
And then many, MANY, people wondering if this was actually authour mistake, since Peter really would do this!

I voted SPEE COK but I need people to know that Kazoo wrote out all the answers, and two separate children wrote FLAW and those are my favorites.
I think I did well on most of them, I didn't get two, four, or five of these particular answers, maybe one or two more.
This is also a PSA please if you work with kids see if you can get them to write down their favorite recipe, someone brought a "kids recipe book" from their class and a whole room of drunk college kids were hysterically laughing about it, it was so damn funny.
This is for all those who were promised community, only to be rejected and banned. To all those who can't wear or fly a Magen David ✡️ without being accused of blood libel. To those who had their community turn their backs on them. To those who have had self-proclaimed nazi punchers spew nazi rhetoric back to their face. To those who are lost. To those that lost friends, lost their sense of belonging, because people stole our word and re-defined it to mean something dirty.
To the queer Jews, and allies, who don't have the same place of belonging that they had before October 7th. To those that aren't here anymore, after. Happy Pride.
Cheese without a doubt. I eat it melted, caked, creamed, just chomping into a block. I love cheese. Not Swiss, though, even if I like other cheeses from Switzerland.
I love ice cream, too, and yogurt, and milk (although I gotta be careful with that due to intolerance but I've got pills) but they don't hold a candle to cheese itself.
In 1942, during Nazi occupation in Tunisia, a German officer sat at dinner bragging about a Jewish woman he planned to target next.
A man sitting across from him listened quietly.
He smiled.
Poured more wine.
Finished the meal.
Then, after midnight, he drove through the dark streets and knocked on a family’s door with a warning that would save 25 lives.
His name was Khaled Abdul-Wahab.
At just 31 years old, Khaled was a wealthy Tunisian Muslim who spoke fluent German and moved easily among Nazi officers stationed in Tunisia — the only Arab country directly occupied by Nazi Germany during World War II.
That night, after hearing the officer speak the woman’s name aloud, Khaled knew danger was coming.
He rushed to the family’s home and told them:
“Pack nothing. Come now.”
Over the next hours, he gathered 25 Jewish men, women, and children and secretly transported them nearly 20 miles away to his family farm near Mahdia.
For four months, he hid them inside storage buildings, stables, and an olive press while Nazi forces searched nearby communities.
Food was scarce.
Discovery meant death.
But Khaled never abandoned them.
When German soldiers arrived near the farm, the hidden families sometimes pinned yellow stars back onto their clothing and stood silently to avoid suspicion. Once the soldiers left, the stars came off again.
One night, a drunken German soldier stumbled onto the property and discovered the people hiding there. An eleven-year-old girl later remembered watching in terror from beneath a bed as the soldier threatened everyone.
Then Khaled appeared.
Calmly, he led the soldier outside, disarmed him, and sent him away.
Every person survived.
In May 1943, Tunisia was liberated, and all 25 people returned home alive.
What makes the story even more remarkable is what happened afterward:
Khaled never told anyone.
Not his wife.
Not his daughters.
Not even his closest friends.
He returned to ordinary life, raising a family and working quietly in public service until his death in 1997.
More than a decade later, his daughter Faiza accidentally discovered the truth while reading a newspaper interview about a Tunisian man who had saved Jewish families during the war.
The man was her father.
Today, the descendants of the 25 people Khaled saved live across the world because one man chose courage over silence during one of history’s darkest moments.
Heroes do not always seek recognition.
Some simply do what is right — and say nothing about it afterward.
An 18-year-old North Carolina woman was charged with conspiring with two men to attack a Texas synagogue and "kill as many Jews as possible,
The Jewish Herald-Voice - Houston's Jewish Newspaper
A North Carolina woman was arrested Thursday, April 23, after authorities said she plotted a violent attack targeting Beth Israel synagogue in Houston.
Angelina Han Hicks, 18, is facing felony charges, according to an arrest warrant from Davidson County.
Hicks is accused of conspiring with two men – identified only as “Teegan” and “Angel” – to carry out an attack.
Authorities believe the group planned to “kill as many Jews as possible” by driving through the congregation.
Hicks is charged with two counts of felony conspiracy. One count involves conspiracy to commit murder under both North Carolina and Texas law.
The second count alleges conspiracy to commit assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury, as well as aggravated assault under Texas law.
While Hicks has been arrested, the investigation is ongoing with the two alleged co-conspirators not yet arrested.
Hicks' bond has been set at $10 million, and her next court date is scheduled for May 13.
On Wednesday, Congregation Beth Israel and its Shlenker School were closed early after the Houston Police Department informed them of a potential threat to the Reform synagogue and Jewish day school.
No other Houston Jewish organizations or schools were threatened, according to the Jewish Federation of Greater Houston.
“After significant discussions with both the FBI and HPD, we have been advised that it is safe for other local Jewish institutions to remain open,” the Jewish Federation said in a statement.
Local law enforcement agencies increased patrols around Houston-area Jewish institutions as the Houston Jewish community celebrated Yom Ha’Atzmaut, Israel’s 78th anniversary on April 22.
Yom Ha’atzmaut events went on as planned without incident.
Shlenker Head of School Dr. Michelle Barton and school president Arturo Karakowsky sent out a statement to parents Wednesday.
“There is nothing more important than the safety and security of your children and our faculty and staff. We acted quickly and out of an abundance of caution to ensure that no one was placed at risk,” the statement read.
Beth Israel Rabbi David Lyon, along with synagogue president Susan Feigin Harris and executive director Casey Cole also sent out a message to synagogue members.
“We understand that this type of message can be unsettling. Please know that this decision was made thoughtfully, with safety as our top priority and in coordination with trusted partners.”
Shlenker sent an email to parents Wednesday evening saying the school will reopen Thursday.
“This situation is fluid, ongoing and under investigation,” the Federation said.
“We will share information, as warranted, in partnership with Congregation Beth Israel and The Shlenker School. We all remain in close communication with HPD, the FBI and local and national security partners.”
Another violent attack on Jews in London today. Stabbing, two men in hospital. The attacker has yet to make any published statement of motive.
The Labour party gave a reasonable statement ("outrageous attack", "an attack on Jews is an attack on Britain"). The Green Party, ostensibly led by a Jew but very much catering to the young social justice crowd, made a statement little better than "thoughts and prayers"
The comments under the prime minister's statement are full of "but Israel is being so meeeeean".
Pretending that the pro-Palestine movement has not been infiltrated by people actively using it to drive violent antisemitism is naive at best and collusive at worst.
The fact that calling this out gets one labelled a "genocide apologist" is a feature, not a bug. Criticism of antisemitism is being silenced, and that is a tool of violence in and of itself.
If only somebody had said this was happening... Oh wait. We did. "Paranoid", they said. "Victim complex", they said. Do you think they'll even bother to pretend they've changed their minds, when the blood gets too thick to ignore? Or will they just say we deserved it?
You said it excellently. Antisemitism, Jew hatred, is a feature, not a bug of this movement. It's misnamed. They don't actually care about Palestinians, otherwise they wouldn't celebrate when Israelis and Jews that actively worked on bettering their lives were murdered. They ignored Hamas's gunning down innocent lives, because they couldn't blame (((Israel.)))
People get duped, they come because they believe in the cause, and the Jew hatred gets ignored little by little, until they're faced by huge swaths of it, and the people that do speak up about it either get blasted out of their groups, or have to resort to using antisemitic rhetoric themselves to get people to attempt to start seeing why one specific phrasing is antisemitic.
Well this isn't reminiscent of anything concerning at all!
Didn't even try hiding behind "Zionists" this time. Good. Let them stop hiding it, and all the antisemites that claim they're not will start being honest.
