So I posted a fic?
First time in nearly 3 years. I'm kind of not even part of the fandom much anymore, and the fic isn't finished, but I like what I wrote so far and I'm procrastinating doing work and dishes and laundry and various other adulting things, so I decided to start posting it and see what happens.
If you like my posts maybe you'll like my fics? It's a Stucky fic titled 006, posted under my alwaysquestioneverything username on Ao3. Fic is available to registered users only.

jews and israel are not the same. Jews and israel are the same though, you know? Not necessarily medinat israel, but also kind of yes in addition to eretz yisrael. Not all jews are zionist, but also zionist isn't what you think and more jews than you think are zionist. Even jews who say they arent zionist are sometimes zionist, even though they arent, because zionism isn't what you think. Most zionists arent jews but most jews are zionist, got it? We arent a government but we are a people. All jews are one people but also we are all so different. Those are intracommunity issues, but they aren't issues in the way you might be thinking. All you need to know is that we are one man, one heart. We are an am, and nation is close enough but we aren't a nation, we're a people. We are a nation, though. Are jews white? Some are, even though they aren't. But they are, yeah? It depends. Assume they aren't, mostly. What is whiteness? What is judaism? We are an ethnoreligion. Jews are an ethnicity, but also a religion. Am, remember? Am yisrael. You can convert, but not how you think. Also possibly not you. How many times have you been rejected? When you convert you were always one of us. I saw you at Matan Torah! I've heard it phrased as a tribal initiation once, and I think I like that phrase. Anyways if you're a jew you were always a jew, and our home is your home. Do you remember Eretz Yisrael? It's our calendar and our prayers and our compass and our celebrations and our sorrow and our joy. Is that zionism? Yeah, probably. Maybe not, but it might be close.
Does that clear anything up?
psst frumblr, should we tell jumblr about how some people pronounce חול המועד as "challah muyd"?
this is 100% the correct way to pronounce it, yep yep 🙂↕️
just to make people upset: shalasheedis
Odemarishen
This is painful.

This reminds me of how my brother used to say "pajamas" and "conjunctive" to see who noticed.
If you ever want fantasy/sci-fi name inspiration, look no further than Yiddish/Hebrew word mash-ups:

so, I was taking a survey on orthodox jewish english, and it had a bunch of phrases and examples of grammar that you had to answer if/how often you’d actually say them
and apparently my english is jewish to the point where i was baffled that some of those were not just…regular things to say
We need the link, if one exists!
for people asking for the link, here it is! It did say seeking participants from orthodox jewish backgrounds, so if that’s you and you feel like taking a survey, it was pretty fun!
Hmm the consent form says it's for people who are Modox. To take or not to take...
Lol who am I kidding, I can't pass this up. I hope it doesn't mess up the data 😬
I don’t think so… I think when it said modern orthodox english, it meant that the english is modern, not the orthodoxy
if it was meant for modox people then whoops 😬
It says Modern Orthodox twice:
because you are a Modern-Orthodox Jew
documenting Modern-Orthodox-Jewish English
Not to be a grammar nerd on main, but in the second instance, the capitalization of Modern as well as the hyphen indicate Modox vs modern as an adjective.
But yeah there is that question about current practice so I think it's fine.
Some of those questions really surprised me, though! The also/also one I think is from Hebrew because you would say גם twice (I think?). Same for or/or, though that wasn't asked. But some of the other questions did not seem like Jewish English to me, they just seemed like overly formal/stuffy wording.

You wouldnt happen to know which issue of the mishpacha, would you?
Pretty sure it was in one of the Pesach magazines. It's called Word of Mouth.
I don’t want to live in NYC (too crowded/expensive) or Israel (too hot) but every time I hear about a cool kosher restaurant there you get me 🤏 this much closer to changing my mind
I would actually literally probably die if I had to live either place. I need to live somewhere polar. Just wish there was a bunch of Jewish food in the cold places.
Living in Monsey is def not for me, but when I saw the ad for the kosher Korean bbq place, I did have a moment when I reconsidered that position lol
Excuse me there's a what??
A agrees to pay B $10 for every time B lies. B then goes to C and lies about something entirely harmless that is not important to anyone's life, and is not in any way lashon hara in order to get the $10. B repeats this many times. is B committing the aveira of lying for personal financial/business gain? let's discuss.
It was for this that eliyahu was kicked out of the beis medrash

So what are y'all making for shavout?
a potato thing, a salmon thing, a tilapia thing, an orzo thing, a chili thing, a rice thing a pumpkin thing, a carrot thing
Hey! Jews in my phone do you remember being told about Elf on the Shelf for the first time?
I remember this girl in my class telling me about how it moves around at night and send behavior reports to Santa and you’re not allowed to touch him.
Like I was the weird one for not having a creepy teleporting doll spy.
I likely didn't hear about it until I was an adult because I went to all-frum schools and camps. I did read non-Jewish books growing up and did have some knowledge about Xmas from a youngish age (I remember specifically from Little House on the Prairie books) but I don't know if any of the books I read mentioned elf on the shelf; if they did, it probably wasn't a creepy explanation.
Okay so am I crazy or is there a midrash that when Yaakov came to Egypt the famine ended? Like it was supposed to be 7 years but he was so great that he shows up and there's food again after only like 2 or 5 years? I swear I read that somewhere but I'm looking and I CAN'T FIND IT!!
Bereishis Rabbah 89:9
It lasted 2 years instead of 7 (or more according to drash).
#absolutely LOVE that op was like #‘oh i have an obscure medrash i want to find’ #‘better ask the nerds on tumblr!’ #AND THEY WERE RIGHT! #ahh jumblr never change
I object to this characterization!! /lh
I'm not a nerd, I'm just really good at googling.

genuinely can’t wait for Shavuot I love dairy so so so much and I’m sorry lactose intolerance/allergic Jews
Actually this is really insensitive. Don't you know that at least 70% percent of Ashkenazi Jews are lactose intolerant? How can you post about enjoying something that causes untold pain and suffering to the majority of all Jews??
/s /jk /lh don't come at me please
I know this is a joke but
How can you post about enjoying something that causes untold pain and suffering to the majority of all Jews
how can the majority of jews so enjoy something that ultimately causes them untold pain and suffering
because yummy

Joke's on you, I don't love cheese bourekas
