Jewish Fangirl Life

I'm Fredi with an I! I ramble, and have conversations with myself. American born, Israeli by choice, by dreams, by inheritance and heritage and the dreams of my ancestors

[frediyerushalmi]

I feel like I've become active enough on Tumblr again that I should introduce myself.

I'm Fredi Yerushalmi, which is very much not my real name. My blog used to be called Jewish-fangirl-life, and I've been on and off Tumblr for over a decade.

I'm originally from the American Midwest, and now live in Jerusalem.

My interests are varied, but in general, I like animals, fiber arts, I've got a variety of fandoms, and stuff about Jews and Israel.

I'm not going to argue with people about Israel, the block button is my best friend. Following that, I don't tag things much, and stay in my sphere most of the time. But that's not because I don't know anything, I assure you, I just don't want to talk about it on Tumblr.

the open seething hatred people have for mormons makes me a little bit uncomfortable at times i cannot lie

[hillsofspices]

thank you everyone for proving the point of this post better than i ever could <3

If you have a PhD or an MD you can say shit like “Doctor’s orders” and you sound authoritative and powerful but if you’re a step short of those and you say “Master’s orders” you sound cringe as hell and possibly corrupted by the One Ring, this sucks

[chaos-has-theories]

YOU. you keep talking

[frediyerushalmi]

Sometimes, I just bring my crochet in my work bag and never even touch it. I have a theory I'll work on it on the bus, but almost never do.

It reminds me of that meme about the apple getting a daily field trip.

thought of the day:

the only way to have a kosher cheeseburger with real meat and real cheese is with human meat

[misguidedandperplexed]

Echoing all the nuh uhs. But also, isn't the fetus of a pregnant schechted cow pareve?

[rebecca-liz]

I very much doubt it, the eggs of a properly killed chicken are fleischig.

[misguidedandperplexed]

Oh wait nvm I must have been thinking of the milk. Fetus is fleishig but permitted without shechita, and gid hanasheh and cheilev are also permitted, though not the blood.

Sorry @knaidelmaidel for falsely getting your pareve/pareve cheeseburger hopes up.

[knaidelmaidel]

😔

[hyperpotamianarch]

You should just make cheese from human milk. Way more normal.

[knaidelmaidel]

to everyone who suggested human cheese: i hate it and i hope you live to regret the idea

[mossadspydolphin]

You can't just leave this in the tags

[knaidelmaidel]

What?! You could have very easily left that in the tags!! 😡

[frediyerushalmi]

Guys! Friends! My fellow Jews! This is now helping the allegations!

Literally had the thought as I was packing up to leave work yesterday that I gotta take everything because you never know if you're coming back tomorrow, next week, next month, next year, or never

[frediyerushalmi]

Ahhhhhh

I don't wanna do this more!

My neighbors are so annoying!

My sleep was just starting to settle! We were gonna have a long weekend away! There was supposed to be a musical! But nooooo! We had to go blow up a guy in Beirut for the bajillionth time!

[frediyerushalmi]

Also the planes are back and they make me nuts.

There is so much noise! And it's insane!

[agam-shel-barvadim]

there. less than four hours to sleep, completely exhausted. that should do it

[agam-shel-barvadim]

[frediyerushalmi]

It never ends!

absolutely tragic that Soltam makes great weapons but somehow fucks up frying pans

[mossadspydolphin]

They lure me in with the siren song of appealing cookware, and then lose me with the price tags.

[frediyerushalmi]

Guys

You don't but full price, you buy on the bajilion sales, sign up for the moadon, and get like 75% off.

Also, just buy the stainless steel stuff, the nonstick is shit because non stick is always shit

Left seven species fingerless glove complete! Featuring barley, olives, pomegranates, and grapes.

The collection of yarns I'm using for this project is quite varied. The brown, dark green, red, and purple are all two strands of size 10 crochet thread of slightly different shades held together to achieve fingering. I have an unreasonable amount of crochet thread I'm trying to use up.

[kosher-salt]

What if i just dropped everything and spend 1.5K USD to be in Israel for 2 weeks to clear my head (I am going to sit on a hill in the middle of nowhere and cry)

[knaidelmaidel]

Glad to see we’re all being reasonable
