my name is milo (מיילו)/meir (מאיר). i'm a 21y/o american reform jew. i'm autistic and a DID/OSDD system (system blog: @yidplural). i'm into star trek, rush, and other stuff too probably. i am a zionist, i believe in a two state solution, and i stand by the jewish peoples' ancestral connection to our ancient homeland and our universal right to return to the same.

More game devs need to understand the following concepts:

There is a finite amount of memory on any given device.

No matter how good your game is, players will want memory for other things on their devices.

Not everyone has a stable internet connection so making single player games needing an internet connection is not good.

I forgot to post this. But also appreciation to the studs. I've seen appreciation for the butches and that's valid and good, but what about the studs? I adore you guys and we love you for all you've done in fighting for the community since the beginning. For constantly fighting societal representation of black queer women. We see you and appreciate you.

Another day another post demonizing Reform Judaism 😐😐😐😐 don’t talk about it if you haven’t spent actual time in a reform community. Also it’s a fucking privilege to live in an area with enough Jews to have a choice or more than one community.

shoutout to people who are rejected from neurodivergent communities.

medium and high support needs autistic people who often get left out of the conversation or spoken over.

people with "just" anxiety and/or depression who are treated as if their problems are lesser.

people with OCD who have intrusive thoughts about really taboo subjects (yes, even that one). people with OCD who don't hate themselves for every intrusive thought, or who have learned to be okay with their thoughts. people with OCD who genuinely worry they might be xyz type of bad person (yes, even that type). people with OCD who don't know if they violate people's DNIs because of their intrusive thoughts.

people with psychosis or any schizophrenia spectrum disorder. people who are left out of the conversation, stigmatized, shunned away as too scary to talk about or include. people whose conditions are frequently misunderstood and demonized.

people with DID, OSDD, or any other complex dissociative disorder. people whose mental illness is glamorized and idealized and misunderstood. people whose condition is deemed fake or performative, made up for attention. people whose condition is heavily debated even among the scientific community.

people with cluster B personality disorders who are treated as evil. people whose conditions are often the "exception" to others' neurodivergent positivity posts. people who can't google their condition without seeing posts about abusers, toxic people, people labeled as evil or crazy or attention seeking or manipulative, and any other demonizing language.

people with non-cluster B personality disorders who are often forgotten and left out of the conversation. people whose conditions are widely unknown or underdiscussed. people who struggle to find a community for their experiences.

anybody who is "a stereotype." people who actually do look like the image that everyone in their community tries to insist is just a stereotype. people who are not responsible for the ableism their community faces and are tired of being treated like they are.

anybody who has done things they regret because of their mental illness. people who were abusive, who were harmful, who were toxic. people who developed addictions, made mistakes, ruined their lives. people who want to do better and wish they could be treated with compassion as they try.

anybody who was wronged by the system. people who were given a stigmatizing label that marks them for the rest of their life. people who are shamed out of communities, rejected or fired from jobs, turned away from even mental health professionals who are supposed to be helpful.

anybody who is "too disabled". people whose experiences are left out of conversations where more abled people are trying to frantically prove their validity to neurotypicals. people who can't do things, people who need help, people who will never be independent.

anybody who is left out for who they are. BIPOC, physically disabled people, intersex people, religious people, and more. people who are excluded from mainstream conversations, and whose discussions about intersectionality are ignored or talked over. people who struggle to find others who are like them.

and so many more.

neurodivergence is supposed to be a welcoming community for everybody. and we have a long way to go before that will be the case. but we're working towards it, one step at a time.

Obligatory reblog as someone who has never felt welcomed by the neurodivergent community

Synagogues are far more than sacred spaces. Just as Jewish identity is not solely religious but also deeply ethnic, our Temples serve as the communal heart that steadies us amid life’s turbulence. They are places where childcare coexists with book clubs, where stitch-and-bitch circles share space with educational programs of all kinds. They are vibrant hubs of connection, embraced by Jews of all backgrounds, religious, secular, and atheist alike.

As Jews, we alone have the right to determine how our synagogues are used, no one else. At a time when antisemitism is worse than anything I have seen in my lifetime, that includes hosting informational programs on making aliyah. To bar our entry while shouting about making us afraid only underscored precisely why so many Jews are now more interested in aliyah than ever before.

irritating as fuck when people get mad at Black people existing in premodern historical fiction/fantasy media. like first of all, you're racist. and second of all, you are acting as though Black people didn't exist in premodern Europe which is simply false. especially when we're talking about the Mediterranean, like what the fuck do you people think is along the southern half of the Mediterranean Ocean?? everyone's on boats, there are GOING to be interactions with Black people in Northern Africa, and there are GOING to be Black people in Mediterranean Europe. stop being stupid. your imagined homogeneous white European past is not historical reality, get over it you massive losers

June is also men’s mental health month so I’d like to drop in and say that mine is not so good. It’s also Pride Month so I’m going to be treating the problem with yaoi.

I went to kabbalat shabbat at an Aussie shul (reform) for the first time last week. After services, in addition to challah and pastries and tiny glasses of wine, they had hard liquor (gin, vodka, and scotch) which I have never seen before at an American shul. Is this an Aussie thing? Did I just go to square shuls in the US? Is it more common in other denominations?

Does your synogogue normally provide hard liquor at the oneg?

yes

Remaining time: 6 days 58 minutes

I thought about trying to divide results by region or flavor of judaism but it seemed to complicated. Lmk in the replies or comments.

magnetothemagnificent

What American shuls are you going to where they *don't* have hard liquor???? For context I'm Orthodox, pretty much every Orthodox shul I've ever been to (and they've all been in either the US or Israel) has had hard liquor available during Kiddush. Some shuls would have more or less than others, some would advertise it more or less than others, but they'd all have l'chaims available if you wanted some.

snissel613

it’s certainly common (but not universal) at the kiddush, but I’ve never even been to a shul that had an oneg at all (I’ve only been to orthodox shuls ftr)

sylas-dove

Reform, our onegs never have hard liquor. In fact about half the congregation will pick kosher grape juice over the mouthful of Maneschewitz. Of course, I will also point out that most Reform and Conservative Jews are driving home from shul while most Orthodox Jews are walking!

#wine yes but not liquor
