Jewish Self-Determination and Nerdiness

IMPORTANT NOTE:if you are rude or insulting to me in reblogs or comments on my posts (or are just boring) I will block you—I don’t owe you my attention 36 year old Oregonian Jewish Pantheist Progressive Nerd Librarian White Male who believes in the right of all peoples to self-determination. Not too old to care, not too young to count. I oppose the murder of Jews for political purposes, and I reblog stuff I like.

My instant block policy has officially evolved to include making arguments we’ve all heard a billion times that have counter arguments we’ve all heard a billion times. If you’re boring, you are not worth my time, and you’re getting blocked

Are samaritans jews or not what's your take?

I guess it depends on whether you want to define "jews" by euro rabbinical standards or by historical and traditional markers. I personally reject any and all rabbinical definitions and interpretations of judaism so the Samaritan are more jewish to me than the schizos wearing the black polish funny hat cosplay in 40 degrees

A little known fact is that when under a truth spell, you can simply ask “why” they need to know instead of being forced to answer. You’ve already gone through 3 inquisitors, and the fourth looks like they are about to burst a vein.

Happy new year! Here's the end of the 1953 EC Comics adaptation of Ray Bradbury's "There Will Come Soft Rains," first published in Weird Fantasy #17.

“You call us livestock, but you don’t treat us like livestock. You don’t make sure each of us has been fed, you don’t protect us from predators in the night, you don’t help deliver our young or tend to our ills. You’re not a farmer, you’re a parasite, and we will deal with you accordingly.”

I was robbed, but the only things the robbers stole were the knives in my kitchen and a cake I had just baked.

Kinda refreshing that none of them are grotesquely antisemitic tbh

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

distressing yet poetic that the Door to Hell is located in a country with one of the most restrictive visa policies in the world. imagine a magic portal to a kickass demonic dimension opened, but you had to cross the world, evade the border guards, and break into a whole ass country just to access it. now THAT is a QUEST.

anyway gimme a story about a demon trying to get home to hell but she keeps getting foiled by immigration control

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

oh, the Door To Hell aka the Darvaza gas crater is a real place in Turkmenistan fyi. yes that really is its colloquial name. for uh, self-evident reasons:

it's a natural gas crater formed by a collapsed cavern. it's been burning for over 50 years!

just pissed in the stall next to strange

It's been an honour, coquette margaret thatcher

I think that if you lose an arm and get fitted for a prosthetic u should get to refer to your prosthetist as your arms dealer

[teaboot]

And if it's a leg you can call them your footman like you're tge queen of france

[valtsv]

tagging/content warning systems for media are often mocked outside of fanfic which is kind of too bad because i do think it'd be a really interesting vector of literary analysis to examine what the author or publisher thinks they should be informing their audience about vs. the actual content of the media in question

[valtsv]

tagging my work devoid of any explicit sexual content as "dubcon" and sitting back to watch people fight over what i could have meant by this like i'm a roman emperor watching gladiators being devoured by lions in the coliseum

[blumineck]

Shooting through some axes like that guy in that film.

[blumineck]

(Yes I know this isn’t how it should look, but today I’m here to talk about the version a lot of people have just watched)

Because the alternative is that I try to get my thoughts out and end up with a 38 minute YouTube breakdown of all the things I liked and disliked about the archery in the film

[penguicorns-are-cool]

Today on claims by Christian’s that piss me off

Just saw a reel where someone is claiming that the bible, in the original Hebrew, had no punctuation, vowels, or spaces between words and therefore it is even more up to interpretation than you think.

Like I’m sorry what????

[pukicho]

Pirate’s booty, Pirate’s penis, Pirate’s balls. All treasure.

[mountainchickentm]

What about a Pirate's soul?

[pukicho]

Does not matter at all to me. Pirates are made to be objectified.
