  why is my skin so itchy :(

It might not help a ton, but taking a quick shower to rinse everything off your skin and changing your clothes will help get rid of any unseen irritants (like if I walk through a spray of air freshener it gets on my skin and makes me itchy) and has the added bonus of your brain going “I’m fixing the problem!” which also helps a ton for me

luckily it went away if i focused hard enouhg on something else (i tried drawing) bedcause i actually had taken a shower like....less than an hour earlier and changed my clothes?? my skin has been really irritated lately so i’m just like :////

Honestly, I’d address your concern with your boss. While I doubt she meant any harm, I’m pretty sure by giving out your number the girl violated HIPPA laws? Even if she didn’t, that’s something that your boss would likely want to know about. Also, if the guy texts you, you could always just say wrong number and block him and if he says something to you personally just be like “oh yeah that’s not my number and I don’t give that out much, sorry” doesn’t always work, but it’s worth a shot

Yeah, I feel like that’s something I have to do, but I don’t want to needlessly embarrass her? I guess I’ll explain the situation to my boss, and ask her to casually remind us all that we never give out employee phone numbers. And yeah that’s probably what I’m going to do with the guy. I hope he doesn’t come to the office again because buddy that’s...not where you pick up girls??

also it’s probably not hippa laws because we don’t live in the states lol, but yeah the more i think about it the more i realize...at my place of work?? no way that’s legal.

I hope this doesn’t come across as rude (bc that’s definitely not my intention !) but if you don’t mind me asking, why is it you can’t continue to read an e-book once the shabbos music plays? I’d have assumed that you could since it’s not work? Or am I misunderstanding how shabbos is properly observed?

It’s not rude at all! It’s true that in the Torah, the only prohibition for Shabbat is working. But then there are 39 activities that count as work, which include anything that the Children of Israel did to construct the Tabernacle. Some of them are written in the Torah, but most of them were added later by rabbis. For example, trade. Buying and selling isn’t written prohibited on Shabbat by the first five books, but is already forbidden by the book of Nehemiah.

Most electricity counts as either starting a fire or building, like a stove or a light switch (starting a circuit is akin to building), but cell phones are a bit trickier. You’re not allowed to type because that counts as writing and you’re not allowed to turn it on because that causes light (similar to starting a fire).

I use the Kindle app. If you use an eReader such as a Kindle, you might think “but Lior Zoë! Kindles are ink! It’s a totally different electric device! There’s nothing in the 39 activities that could possibly warrant prohibiting Kindles!”

And...you’d be right. Kindles should be allowed on Shabbat, and one day they probably will be. How do I know this? Because my mother harasses every rabbi she meets and explains the science and technology of Kindles and demands that they give her a heter (halachic permission) to use one on Shabbat.

Several of her friends and one well-known rabbi whom I will not name, all with the Orthodox to modern-Orthodox spectrum, have agreed with her, and say that it is permitted, but they don’t want to be the first to say it publicly. So for now, I can’t use a Kindle on Shabbos.

@the anon who told you to stop reblogging your book: fite me

I haven’t had a chance to read your book (and I’m not sure that I will bc it’s not really my cup of tea), but I’m so proud of you for writing an entire book!!!! And publishing it!!!! And sharing it with the whole world!!!! You keep doing you, and ignore the haters bc they don’t know what they’re talking about. ❤️❤️

ahh thank you so much! and i totally understand that, this is literally the only original contemporary thing i’ve ever written and i don’t even read the genre. a very non typical thing for me to publish for my first book tbh al;sdkjf
