anyway!! if you’re a gentile wishing you received more education on Judaism in your school system, i would recommend checking out jewfaq.org. it’s free and a great introductory resource, even if the design looks a little dated 

[meangirlnurse]

this also goes for Jews who did not receive a Jewish education or did not receive as much Jewish education as they would have liked. you are not a “bad Jew” for not knowing things about Judaism/Jewishness, and you have a right to know more about your roots.

[meangirlnurse]

i’m kicking myself for not putting myjewishlearning.com on this post, and think both websites are extremely valuable (with somewhat different viewpoints). i’d love if people would reblog this version of the post with both links but suspect the cat may be out of the bag at this point

You have a PLATE IN YOUR Lip! And we are the issue?!

[zorak-phd]

The raping, pillaging, enslavement, stealing of land, oppression, hunting and the intentional, almost extinction of entire races of people based on the idea that they were savages/less than human.

Vs.

Some customary tradition involving putting a plate in their mouth.

I wonder which is the biggest issue here. 🤔

[divingcurve28-deactivated202101]

They have a plate in their mouth, we put holes in our ears. We put charms in our eyes. We put ink in our skin. We put silicone under our skin. Some put metal on their tongues and others put gauges in their cheeks.

You’re not disgusted by the body mod, you’re just a fucking racist. It’s their culture, it means a lot to them, so don’t be an ass and piss on it. We already have treated them so fucking badly in history.

fun fact: The last supper would have been more like this, according to tradition:

[evangeline-elena-deactivated201]

[thedevoteddemon]

a sleepover with jc and the boys

[hotcommunist-deactivated2019032]

Paul: Judas truth or dare??

Judas: dare

Paul: okay lmao I dare u to kiss JC

[ghoulfr13nd]

Jesus: ok your turn peter truth or dare

Peter: truth

Jesus: would you ever betray me peter

[papa-peach-deactivated20241019]

Peter:

Jesus:

(a few days later)

Peter: *betrays Jesus*

Jesus:

[that-twink-over-there]

Jesus: *returns*

Peter: “Jesus… you’re back ?”

Jesus:

this post gets more absurd every time it crosses my dash

[lawbreaker13]

Another fun fact:

The Last Supper was actually a Passover Seder which means by the time they broke the food out, these guys were likely already drunk out of their minds.

[cutecommiefemme]

Drunk Jesus: guys take this bread

Drunk Jesus: it’s me

homophobes are always like “stop erasing platonic love!” when someone ships best friends but like whomst is your partner if not your best friend that you also kiss

[goobra]

straight people hate their spouses so they don’t understand when gay people are best friends with theirs

Memes are now meant to reach an audience of 3 people max

[tsarcasm-deactivated20180922]

Niche memes

[nasdjamarie]

So specific 😹😹

[justfunnyreblogs-deactivated201]

i’m the niche group

Also being a scientist pretty much gives you a free pass to be as eccentric as you want like you’ll be at a conference and it’s like “is that guy wearing socks and sandals and plaid pants???” “Ya but he was on the team that discovered gravitational waves let him be”

I once saw a highly-respected mineralogist take a slice of watermelon, put it between the two halves of a bagel, and eat it like a sandwich.

adhd life is like. losing your phone and legitimately checking in the freezer because its 100% plausible you accidentally put it in there while looking for food earlier

[cat-hoarder]

Great idea until you have 7th graders in Florida picking your president…. I’m not sure that the people that actually agree to this idea understand that kids would just vote how their parents would because no seventh grader has more than two brain cells. I was in seventh grade when the 2016 election happened, and holy fuck you do not want those kids picking your President, let alone having rights in general

[odinsblog]

So then maybe, as was the point of this post, maybe the court system shouldn’t be executing 7th graders (most of whom are disproportionately black and brown people)? Because if you don’t think they’re mature enough to vote and pick a president, then I’m guessing that they aren’t mature enough to be tried as adults and then executed???

Lmaooooooooooo there’s a lot going on

[liho907lilo]

Everyone going shopping on Black Friday, be aware of three things:

The retail workers are working 12 hours shifts. We are threatened with losing our jobs if we don’t show up unless we’re dying in the hospital. I had an assistant manager show up with fucking strep because he would’ve been fired otherwise. Yes, he did infect 7 and hospitalize 2 coworkers; who knows how many members of the public he infected.

The stores have, maybe, 5 of that special cheap thing you’re after. Corporate does this on purpose, and stores are not allowed to order enough. The prices aren’t even that much lower. They lie about how expensive something is to fool you into thinking you’re getting a discount. You aren’t.

Most of the workers you will come across will be new hires for the sole purpose of being bodies for about three months before they’re fired. They actually don’t know anything because they’ve been working there for maybe two weeks, and have had no real training. I was once hired at Staples a week before Black Friday and expected to know how to deal with phones, coupons, the online ordering site, and AS400 after five 6-hour shifts. This is the kind of person you will likely be dealing with at Black Friday.

Do me and my retail family a favor and don’t shop Black Friday. Any company that needs a sale day like Black Friday to get their sales out of the red doesn’t deserve to be in business. 

[gothtigger92-deactivated2021052]

This also goes for anyone that works shipment too. We’re suddenly expected to stay as late as they want you to even if they know you don’t have a car and rely on a ride to get you to and from work and know you can’t stay late. Shipment workers will suddenly start getting berated for not getting things done and it is by far the most stressful time to be a shipment worker for any store. Especially when they throw in new hires that don’t know how to process things and are expected to work at the same pace as the people that have worked there for a while.

Retail is shit around the holidays, especially Black Friday

[jedi-giraffe]

ok fellow millenials, it’s time to kill black friday

[cincosechzehn-deactivated201901]

LET’S KILL BLACK FRIDAY

[celestialspiritqueen]

Target is open until 1 am on thanksgiving to open 6 am Friday at the one I work at with people who will stock all throughout the night. Please be aware of this and don’t be crazy or rude

[niallynwa]

Here’s an idea: don’t stalk celebs, even if it’s clear where their location is. Realize that no matter how many times you’ve met them, they’re not your friend. Don’t drape yourself all over them. Stop doing weird creepy shit for clout.
