Homegrowndevil - Rejoyce! Our Times Are Intolerable

i'm visiting my aunt in nashville and i got to go through her vintage shop/burlesque studio

good news: i got a job at a garden center, i love it.

weird news: the boss lady, Kim, asked if i was okay with spiders and instead of saying "yeah, as long as they aren't like, in my mouth," what i actually said was "yeah, as long as they are in my mouth," and it was simaltaneously the worst and most hilarious moment in my entire life.

also, the place is run by a middle aged lady, three teenagers, and an elderly couple. it has a metric fuckton of cats running around, i get to take home any tomatoes or plant clippings i want, and my legs really hurt from all the squatting i've been doing to pick things out of plants.

we temporarily lost the belt for the torah during service which led to several panicked minutes of searching for it. it was under the table and we got way behind schedule

the the belt ended up under the table because we had to bring it down off the bimah so Rabbi W could read from it (he's in a wheelchair)

he read the portion he read for his bar mitzvah so we threw candy at him

Rabbi M's moving away and we're all Upset

fuck i accidentally deleted the post about the people at my synagogue and i'm mad cause i don't get to go this week, so here you all get to see it again:

my rabbi who will take every chance to tell you how shephardic jews Are Right and curses

the lady with the leopard print bag who dances the whole time

the lady who crochets yarmulkes

the little girl who runs around with her yarmulke on her face and her infinite dolls

my rabbi's wife who introduced doing a conga line during Yom Kippur because "you're all being to depressing, we're getting our souls cleaned today, lighten up."

all the weird old men, except when they eat all the good stuff off the lunch buffet

the very stressed and very tired starbucks manager

the All Powerful Linda

Hannah and her sister who are planning the garden we're going to put by the playground

the other rabbi with the sparkly tallit

this isn't a person, but in case we ever run out of extra yarmulkes, there's a doilie and if you get stuck with the doilie we all get to laugh at you, not to be mean, just, it's funny

please accept these pictures of the goats minus Henry and Thistle and plus Thora's big baby face

New art show's up, pt. 1. we're actually friends with the guy who does the pinstriping, he's nice. last year he was one of the first 26 pinstripers to have an exhibit in an actal museum.
