Just finished watching Ramayana: the legend of prince Rama last night and I gotta say I do think it's one of the most beautiful animated films I've ever seen

#not surprised I loved it bc if you know me I'm a big sucker for the Ramayana/Mahabharata #I thought the songs were really well done too #especially w Ram and the Vanaras building Ram Setu #a shame it's like almost impossible to find a physical copy of the movie tho

Really like when you're on Facebook or some other social media platform and someone has a pfp that's just a selfie of them with one of those Ukrainian flag stickers slapped on top of it. Cheers bud I'll drink to that

#Ukrainians are a very easy people to please in that we appreciate literally even the smallest show of support

It's just so hard to explain why the hostages mattered so much to us, not just Israelis but Jews worldwide. Even leftist Israelis like myself who never supported the war at least prayed for their safe return. To see Hamas act with such open cruelty, violence, and hatred, and still see millions of people not only tolerating it, but actively supporting it was genuinely crushing.

#people online were actively mocking victims of 7.10 as it occured. tweets with hundreds of thousands of likes #and memes making fun of kidnapped children #it was psychotic #I was thinking of the Beautiful Six and the Bibas family today and started tearing up #ז״ל

The USA if Battle Hymn of the Republic was the anthem instead of the Star Spangled Banner

#or even just a secondary anthem idc it's too much of a good song to not have any official status #I know it has pretty explicit religious tones but iirc there's only one verse which actually mentions Jesus #and not all versions have that verse either

I think it's funny how the pop-culture understanding of 'Celtic' culture has become less about language and more about vibes. Sure, everyone can be Celtic if they feel like it, I don't really gaf

#'Celtic' doesn't really mean anything culturally because there's not really any unifying cultural aspect between different Celtic ppls #other than speaking a Celtic language or speaking one in the past #I'm of Scottish and Irish descent myself and spent part of my childhood in the UK #and I did go to a lot of Celtic music festivals as a kid but you kinda have to admit that “Celtic music” is a bit of a recent invention #which is why when I see people including Galicia or even the North of Portugal as “Celtic nations" I'm just like eh whatever #it's kinda like how some ppl love acting like there's some grand unifying “Slavic” culture and it's like what do we even have in common #besides all speaking languages from the same branch? nothing really

Such a weird feeling to come out to a family member even when you know they're not homophobic anyway

#I just don't like making my sexuality a big deal anyway it's like why does being gay have to have this formality to it

Very interesting to me how Laura Loomer and her ilk are suddenly turning pro-Ukraine because they realized that sucking Putin's dick makes them look like the complete idiots and shills they are and always will be

#what's the matter? those Kremlin rubles not working for you anymore?

Would you still love me if I were French

#I know this is something most people either don't remember abt me or just don't know in the first place but it's true #I am unfortunately French #African diaspora from former French colonies let's make some noise

Do you think the people who make "Nuke Tel Aviv" jokes know that TLV isn't the capital?

#I genuinely just want to ask them if they know what the capital of Israel is

wiktionary I love uuuu

#I know they hate to see an etymology nerd (me) comin

You know one day I just decided that Judaism and Jewish history were going to be my hyperfixations from there on out and it's just been like that ever since

#despite my background I never really had an interest in those things before late 2022/early 2023 #and then I had a period of increased religiosity which in turn spurred my interest in our history as well

DC has such an extremely different vibe from the rest of the DMV and it's actually kinda funny

#went to Alexandria for the weekend once and the vibes were totally different #DC has more of a nightlife culture imo #Alexandria just feels a bit... idk. cozier?

Medieval Rabbis loved going by acronyms

#I literally cannot remember them all #yes there's a Rambam. There's also a Ramban

Religious in a cultural way and not a "believing in God" way

#religious in the sense that I like observing holidays and lighting shabbat candles and baking challah and saying B"H #and not the 'strictly adhering to any one denomination or minhag' way #tbh I'm mixed Sephardic/Ashkenazi so my personal Judaism has always been very eclectic anyway #I never really fit into any one group bc I have influences from so many different Minhagim

Really annoys me when other Israelis act like Settler Violence is the only problem or that it somehow has nothing to do with the rest of the country. Like no, this is the point. They want Palestinians gone so that they can flood the land with more (Jewish) Israelis. This is how it's been since 1948 (and before that, too).

#like it or not we as Jews in Israel have Jewish privilege in a state that prioritizes us over Palestinians #settler violence isn't a fluke #it's part of the system #hate all these empty platitudes from Zionist influencers abt how shocked and horrified they are at all the violence in the West Bank #as if the IDF doesn't literally help uphold and enforce this every day

Ukrainian is a very beautiful language. Shame I don't know more

#unfortunately bc my family are Jewish we mostly spoke either Russian or Yiddish #very few Ukrainian Jews actually spoke Ukrainian until recently #and when they came to the UK they were registered as “Russian immigrants” bc that was how they classified all Jews from the Empire/USSR the #*then
