i genuinely cannot get over the fact that the central emotional conflict of owk is that obi-wan and vader are just. utterly consumed and unmade by their mutual obsession. they are incapable of living, of thinking, of breathing without being reminded of the other. their love is so vast it cannot even burn into ash on mustafar. what the fuck
I love psychological warfare live on stage! (1982 + 1997)
i think if hollanov decide to have more than one kid at least one of them will be a goalie. and you know that kid is going first in whichever draft they end up in because they practiced on shane fucking hollander and ilya fucking rozanov (because if your dads were casually the two best centres in the nhl and two of the most successful hockey players on the planet, then you defend that net like your life depends on it)
everyone else in that years draft thinks this hollander-rozanov child got picked first out of nepotism (because who the fuck is that desperate to pick a goalie first overall in the draft?) until one day that team’s starting goalie is injured and all of a sudden your scoring chances have gone to hell because you’re trying to get the puck past cerberus, the three headed dog that guards the gates of hell
It is not enough to remember the mistakes of our past, Charles. Honor me with action, not tears. That world needs you. It always has.

ILYA WEEK | DAY THREE - FAVORITE QUOTE
“I never want to come back here again. I fucking hate it here. And they all fucking hate me. I pay for everything. I make sure everyone has clothes they like. I make sure the food is perfect. That father is buried next to his parents, that the tomb is perfect. And the only fucking word I ever hear is: i want more Ilya, i need more Ilya. More, more, more, more, more. And I have nothing for these people. I give them everything.. but I feel fucking empty. They don't care, they look at me and see a bank. Or an enemy. Or I don't even know what. My brother, he always hated me. And I know why... but it kills me. And it kills me that he took care of my father and I didn't. But I couldn't. I wasn't here. I still paid for it all. And he will never forgive me. For any of it. For existing. And it means... I have no one now. Well not no one, I have Svetlana. She loves me, and I love her. But not like... fuck me. But not like I love you. That's the worst fucking part of all this is. That all I want is you. It's always you. I'm so in love with you and I don't know what to do about it."
I went to kabbalat shabbat at an Aussie shul (reform) for the first time last week. After services, in addition to challah and pastries and tiny glasses of wine, they had hard liquor (gin, vodka, and scotch) which I have never seen before at an American shul. Is this an Aussie thing? Did I just go to square shuls in the US? Is it more common in other denominations?
Does your synogogue normally provide hard liquor at the oneg?
yes
no

I thought about trying to divide results by region or flavor of judaism but it seemed to complicated. Lmk in the replies or comments.
What American shuls are you going to where they *don't* have hard liquor???? For context I'm Orthodox, pretty much every Orthodox shul I've ever been to (and they've all been in either the US or Israel) has had hard liquor available during Kiddush. Some shuls would have more or less than others, some would advertise it more or less than others, but they'd all have l'chaims available if you wanted some.
i’m actually pretty surprised that op was talking about them serving alcohol friday night, because we’re all drinking shots at 12:30 in the afternoon on Shabbos out here! 😭
12:30 in the afternoon? That's so late for shuls that have Kiddush clubs and are doing shots at like. 10:00 AM (or earlier) lmfao.
The Jesus/Judas Complex
The only Good Jews are the Jews who are self-sacrificing, who will go willingly to their deaths for the salvation of others. The Good Jew, who will willingly undergo torments unto death, is the only Good Jew.
The Good Jew will absolve their murderers. The Good Jew will 'turn the other cheek'. The Good Jew will write "I still believe that people are good at heart" when being persecuted. The Good Jew will lay down and die for the comfort and education of others.
But for all other Jews who fail to attain such lofty standards?
They are betrayers, corruptors, colonizers, genociders, child murderers, blood drinkers. Capitalists and communists. Sexually depraved and yet sexless, where even the Jewish men are emasculated. They are White, yet also still Other. They are rootless cosmopolitans, from nowhere, yet told to go back where they came from. Their mere presence is a taint, and yet they hide among the disciples of the Good Jew, waiting for their chance to betray and sell out.
The only Good Jew is a Dead Jew who goes willingly to die, on the cross of the Romans or from the knives and guns of terrorists. All other Jews, who refuse to lay down and die, who dare to say "Am Yisrael Chai", that the Children of Yisrael Live, are therefore innately evil and irredeemable, and must be shunned for daring to cling to life.
There's a subset of this entire behavior worth calling attention to, which was summed up by Albert Einstein a century ago.
If my theory of relativity is proven correct, Germany will claim me as a German and France will declare that I am a citizen of the world. Should my theory prove untrue, France will say that I am a German and Germany will declare that I am a Jew.
The Good Jews--the Jesuses, the Anne Franks, the Einsteins, and others--have their Jewishness erased in order to universalize them; they are no longer Jews, but they are "citizens of the world" who no longer belong to the Jews in the public consciousness.
But the Bad Jews? Oh, those can never be divorced from their Jewishness. Being a Jew is inherent to their wickedness. Bernie Madoff, Jeffery Epstein, Benjamin Netanyahu... oh, there is no question that to the rest of the world, they are always to be considered as "Jews" first and foremost.
Tying this all together is the the fact that, deep in the subconscious of non-Jews, sits the belief that Jews can have nothing of their own that belongs unquestionably to Jews. This belief holds that anything Jews have or create or develop actually belongs to the Christians and Muslims who are their "successors," and to the rest of the world, as if what Jews produce is somehow owed to them by dint of creation, that everything Jews make is automatically universalized.
Jews cannot have their own religious texts. Those belong to the Christians and Muslims... after being edited appropriately, of course, but they are not Jewish texts in their own rights. No, Jewish religious texts are seen as a positive because they "offer independent non-Christian/Muslim verification of the legitimacy of the Old Testament/Koran", not because they're the holy texts of a small people who have preserved them.
Jews cannot have their own history. Those belong to the Christians and Muslims, who say that the Jewish history actually belongs to them, that everything from historical figures to stories to archeology regarding Jews cannot actually belong to the Jews themselves.
Jews cannot have their own prosperity. The wealth and ideas and peace and growth actually belong to everyone else around them, from whom the Jews "stole" it.
Jews cannot have their own tragedies. Those, foremost among them the Holocaust, belong to the world, as moral lessons and warnings against dangers to actual people, as opposed to Jews, who are expected to shoulder the burdens and pain without complaint.
Jews cannot have their own outstanding members. Those are citizens of the world, meant to inspire and uplift everyone else.
Jews cannot have their own homes. There is nowhere we can live without being told we don't belong there and that it belongs to someone else.
In the end, we are told, Jews cannot have their own lives. Merely existing as a Jew needs to be justified on what we give to the rest of you.
And we are sick and tired of justifying our existence to those who could not care less about us as people, even as they reap the benefits of what we have added to the world.
Oh man, I got yelled at by a bunch of (white) people for “appropriating” the term “ghetto” from Black people when I was literally talking about Jews in medieval Europe.
The
Term
Was
Coined
To
Describe
Where
Jews
Lived
YEAH. this drives me fucking NUTS bc the term ghetto was first used in the 1500’s in venice to describe the neighborhood jews were forced to live in to keep them segregated from gentiles (mostly christians). there was another ghetto in rome. both of these were likely established when jewish populations in italy grew after the arrival of expelled sephardic jews escaping the inquisition.
here’s an excerpt about life in the roman ghetto from the wikipedia article:
Life in the Roman Ghetto was one of crushing poverty, due to the severe restrictions placed upon the occupations that Jews were allowed to perform. Roman Jews were allowed to work only at unskilled jobs, such as ragmen, secondhand dealers[6] or fish mongers. They were permitted to be pawnbrokers (which had been prohibited to Christians); and this activity excited the hatred of many Christians against them.
In the lottery game, they were allowed to bet only on low numbers (from 1 through 30), and all belonging to the same group of 10.[Note 3] In case of a draw of five numbers of that kind, the Romans said that on that day in the ghetto there was taking place a great feast.[7]
When Jews went outside the ghetto, the men had to wear a yellow cloth (the "sciamanno"), and the women a yellow veil (the same color worn by prostitutes).[6] During the feasts they had to amuse the Christians, competing in humiliating games. They had to run naked, with a rope around the neck, or with their legs closed into sacks. Sometimes they were also ridden by soldiers.[Note 4]
Jews had to petition annually for permission to live there. They paid a yearly tax for the privilege. Jews of Rome were required to swear yearly loyalty to the Pope at the Arch of Titus, which celebrates the Roman sack of Jerusalem of 70 CE. Each year, on the Campidoglio, the Rabbi had to pay homage to the chief of the city councillors ("Caporione"), receiving by him in exchange for it a kick to his bottom. This "ceremony" meant that the Jewish community had been allowed to stay one more year in Rome.[Note 5]
Every Saturday, the Jewish community was forced to hear compulsory sermons[Note 6] in front of the small church of San Gregorio a Ponte Quattro Capi, just outside the wall.[Note 7]
At the time of its construction, in the ghetto – as almost everywhere in Rome – there was no fresh water. However, some years later the Popes built several fountains in the rione. One fountain, designed by Giacomo della Porta, was to be placed in the Piazza Giudea, the site of a market, inside the ghetto, but Muzio Mattei used his influence to have the fountain, the Fontana delle Tartarughe (Turtle Fountain), located in the Piazza Mattei, in front of his residence.[Note 8][8][9][dubious – discuss]
As the Jewish community inside the ghetto grew, there was severe overcrowding. Since the area could not expand horizontally, the Jews built vertical additions to their houses, which blocked the sun from reaching the already dank and narrow streets.
The great number of people living in such a small area,[Note 9] together with the poverty of the population, caused terrible hygienic conditions. The district, lying very low and near the Tiber, was often flooded, and diseases like cholera and malaria were endemic. During the plague of 1656, 800 of the ghetto's 4,000 inhabitants died. In 1867, just three years before the abolition of the ghetto, there was a cholera epidemic.[4][10] Sant'Angelo, which was the smallest rione by area, also had the highest population density because of the presence of the ghetto.
#nothing is ours not even things that unquestionably belong to us#if you’re wondering why I and so many Jews are angry and sad#imagine the entire world demanding you give up everything about yourself#imagine the world denying you your identity and history and people#imagine being told that the only good you can do#is how you provide legitimacy and a scapegoat for others
@hazel2468, your tags pass peer review

piece of media you feel crazy about at formative age is truly like the hotel california. you can check out but you can never leave
People claiming "conflating Jews with Israel is the real antisemitism" always bothered me because I just innately had this knowledge that it was stupid, without really realising why. Then it hit me.
It's because I speak french.
When Robespierre demanded French Jews be protected whilst in foreign countries he referred to them as Israélites. Books that document Jewish history and culture in france and francophone areas refer to them as Israélites. When Napoleon removed French Jews' rights, he referred to them as Israélites. Old bible story cartoons I watched referred to Jews as Israélites.
In the dictionary, "Israélites" is literally a synonym of Jew.
In french, Israélite referrs to all ethnic Jews (of Israël, Ashkenazi, from Maghreb, etc) regardless of religion. The word "Juif/Juive" (= Jew/Jewish) specifically referred to people who practice Judaism, regardless of ethnicity (so converts were more often referred to as Juif, rather than Israélite, if they were not ethnically Jewish). "Israéliens" was used to refer to people of Israeli nationality, regardless of ethnicity or religion.
Over time the usage of "Israélite" kinda got replaced with Juif/Juive, as languages change, but it's still not entirely uncommon in literature and research papers.
So it bothered me because I grew up speaking a language that acknowledges Jews' ethnic origins being from the kingdom of Israel, so all I was reading was basically "it's violently hateful towards french people to conflate the french with france"
Also like, the idea of changing a groups name because their homeland changed countries or changed names is seen as normal for other cultures except jews.
I have an older coworker who's parents immigrated to NZ from Sri Lanka, back when it was still called Ceylon. Her parents were considered to be Ceylonese. Then Sri Lanka changed its name. And now they're considered Sri Lankan. Their ethnicity didn't change, the word for it did despite them not living in Sri Lanka when the name changed.
Yisrael has been the hebrew name for jews for centuries. Jew is a name put onto us by others. Now there is a country, Israel, which houses half of the world's jews. Yet diaspora jews aren't considered Israeli, we're still called jews.
Its like saying that it's violently hateful towards Ceylonese to conflate them with the country of Sri Lanka.
From a place of not being Jewish but experiencing naming changes - before we were Ukrainians, we were simply Rusyns - people of Ruthenia - and Ukraine was a rather vague territory. "Ukrainian" became the term of choice in face of Russian Empire parasitizing on the shared name, establishing the hegemony of "Greater Ruthenians" over "Lesser Ruthenians" and White Ruthenians (Belarusians; these are originally eparchical designations but wonder why Russian Empire made it an ethnic label). Carpathian Rusyns are closer related to Ukrainians than to Russians, but rejected the label either because they didn't see themselves represented in Ukrainian identity, rooted in Cossack past, or actively wanted to rely on Russian Empire's patronage against hegemonies they found affected them more, like Hungarians.
Our history in the land is simple. Northern Ukraine was settled by Slavs in 5th century and later became the heartland of Rus', which lent its name to all East Slavs; even after the end of Kyiv's political primacy in the region and rule by foreign cultures it continued and continues being a spiritual center to multiple countries. Southeastern Ukraine was settled in Cossack period by a diversity of cultural influences, but strong identity with Northern Ukraine stayed all throughout. There is no reasonable debate to the fact that we are the heritors of medieval Rus' core.
The reason why we have to fight for recognition of that very basic fact of history is Russian political propaganda, which in its very name demands control over all Ruthenian lands. We never cared that much about the cultural touchstones Muscovy has developed in Ruthenian frontier - it is the Russian Empire that wants our touchstones to expand its legitimacy to 9th century, rather than 13th if not 14th. We are labelled as being "corrupted by Poles/Germans/next country Russia has beef with" while Muscovy has absorbed and culturally annihilated several Baltic and Finnic cultures, to say nothing of the colonialism. It tries to steal the land and history from under our feet, and tells us that we deserve it less than the city on Moskva river.
"Stop conflating Jews with Israel" means "I invented a kind of Jew that has nothing to do with Israel and that's the good ones." Its an old Soviet rag that demands Jews have no opinion about their place in the world. The cultures of two whole hegemonic religions relies on the fact that Jews are from Israel, the place, and when some portions of these cultures decided that overt religiocity is cringe, they now demand Jews to abandon the "superstition" of having a right to an origin in history, a homeland, a sanctity of their heritage. Its always the Jew's task to prove themselves good and nice and unobtrusive rather than the hegemon challenge their entitlement to history. Just as how there is no world where Ukrainians are not native to Rus' heartland, there is no world where Jews are not native to land of Israel - the only way this idea can even claw to status of valid discourse is aggressive distortion of reality with task of not letting Jews own their history.
And the people who repeat it still think they have any progressive standards left at all.

"Trans men are spouting MRA rhetoric!!!"
:looks inside:
Trans men are asking to be included in discussions about abortion access, where they, transmascs, and enbies (particularly if they're racialised) are THE most vulnerable group.
Trans men from the global south are talking about their specific vulnerabilities and the horrific violence they face.
Trans men are asking the rest of the community to please care more about the fact that their hormones are a controlled drug and their identities are already on a controlled drug registry that can be very easily cross-referenced with agab to Pick Out The Trannies.
Trans men are talking about how TMOC have been targeted for sexual & physical harrassment because of their transmasculinitiy in detention centres.
Trans men are asking the queer community to stop claiming they have made 'no historical contributions' when 1) they have, and 2) they have been violently erased, institutionalised, and forced into marriage throughout history, and even those lucky few who went stealth were often discovered through forcible outing.
Trans men are begging the queer community to stop spreading transphobic lies that predatorjacket them as dangerous, violent rapists.
Trans men are mentioning that they are often ENTIRELY banned from playing on men's OR women's high-level sport teams, because those teams are allowed to 'make their own decisions' on whether to permit them while using a banned steroid, which usually, you guessed it, means they can't compete.
If you wanna call me a Trans Men's Rights Activist because I care about the rights of trans men, along with every other member of the trans community... go right ahead, I guess.
