I’m going before the Beit Din this morning, and then the mikvah!

Happy Sukkot! Chag Sameach! Our sukkah is a little small, but Lorelai says it’s a sukkah for cats—a catsukkah! #sukkot #sukkot2020 #sukkah #megabloks #judaism #chagsameach (at Richmond, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF2x14RlCQR/?igshid=1bn232ql58ym6

Hi, I’ve been off tumblr for a couple of years, but I seem to remember you or someone else posting about a blessing for pet snakes and/or lizards? My cantor has been trying to find one, since in our online services they’ve been doing blessings for cats and dogs (May you be like the Lion of Judah/Caleb the Faithful). Figured as much as you love scaly critters, you might be able to point me in the right direction.

Hi, @zookmurnig! I looked through every post in both my “lizard” and “lizards” tags, and couldn’t find this. When I checked Google I found this, which can probably apply but isn’t satisfyingly targeted.

What’s the protocol for making up your own bracha? The werewolf bracha in Cinnamon Blade was the invention of someone who had been a student leader when I used to go to Hillel. But nobody is actually using that one in real life (as far as I know) so maybe that’s different :P

Thank you for looking for me. I tried those same tags, as well as a few others, but couldn’t turn up anything. I found that same article when I googled it, which as you said, interesting but not quite on target.

I’ll look into the criteria for inventing a new blessing. Again, thank you so much!

First attempts at painting DnD minis last night! The paint is dry now and I kinda like how magical that horse looks from the brushstrokes #dungeonsanddragons #dnd #miniaturespainting #eberron https://www.instagram.com/p/ByaftjAlee5/?igshid=k0jcia06wja1

Calling a glans piercing a “Prince Albert” is only the tip of the iceberg (so to speak). Pretty soon all the historical nobility will be getting in on the act. Folks will be going around getting Emperor Leopolds and Kaiser Wilhelm IIs, and I have no idea what any of those are, but I’m sure they’re terrifying.

so the thing about my family is that we have two ancestors on my dad’s side who were buried in france, where I currently live. one died in the spanish civil war, and one died prior doing…we don’t know what. but he somehow managed to get buried in père lachaise.

so anyhow, my gran sends me a message like “pls put flowers on ur uncle samuel’s grave because he’s gone over a century with none and it will make the ghost mad if he hasn’t already” because my family spends time in europe but never long enough to go all the way to père lachaise and give ya boy samuel jr. his death rites. so im like “ok gran I can do that” bc im a good grandson and you do not fuck with gran she doesn’t DESERVE THAT

i figure out which plot he’s on and ask someone specifically where you can find uncle samuel jr. and they tell me where and so I arrive at the junction and.
