so many people arent ready for this one. . .
the thing about the R slur is i do think its technically reclaimable- if youre a person with an intelectual disability, disagnosed learning difficulty, downs syndrome, or anything else that wouldve been historically categorized under that label and you want to say "fuck it, i am that label, i'm gonna own it" then like. fine, thats your prerogative. you'll probably get some weird looks but i don't think anybody can police what you call yourself. the problem is literally every instance ive seen of someone 'reclaiming' the R slur has been using it to insult someone else and then pulling the "im allowed to say it because i'm neurospicy" card and like. thats not how this works. thats not how any of this works.

term for queer (especially trans and/or gender non-conforming) jews, translating to "one who crosses over" which can reference transition or subverting gender/sexuality norms. the plural is ovrim.
these flags/terms are jewish-exclusive! other than that, feel free to use
if you credit/tag me, you can use these flags as inspiration or redesign them!

i gotta start working on my grimoire fr
So! I have been seeing a ton of grimoire ideas and thought I’d stuff them all together. A lot of ideas are from @manifestationsofasort, @banebite, and @pigeonflavouredcake. Check them out! They have a ton of cool stuff there.
You can use anything for a grimoire! For a physical one, journals, binders, and notebooks are good. For digital ones, Notion, Tumblr, Docs, and even just your file folder are great.

chag sameach!! happy tu bishvat!!
happy birthday to all the trees out there <33
do you have a favorite bug? Or bugs you think are particularly cool? I think all bugs are pretty neat, especially that one bug with a really long neck built like a straw...
(p.s sorry for yapping in your inbox haha)
LOL good question! i think ants are very underrated, i think they are super cool :0
i assume u mean giraffe-necked weevils!! those are epic as well, very good favorite bug! ill put a picture under the cut
<3
this one. this one right here.
I hate you "Abrahamic", I hate you "Judeo-Christian", I hate you Protestant interpretations being the academic standard, I hate you "BC/AD", I hate you "X amount of years before Chr*st", I hate you academic supercessionism, I hate you ignoring Jewish translations and interpretations, I hate you "The Bible", I hate you making sweeping statements about Judaism even though you have no authority to, I hate you "expert in religion", I hate you casual academic antisemitism.

Image description: Three versions of the same picture: a digital painting of a cluster of yellow dandelions on a dark earthy background. Handwritten in white above and below the flowers is the same text in Yiddish in the alef-beys, in romanisation, and then in English. The text reads: "מיר וועלן זיי איבערלעבן", "Mir veln zey iberlebn", and "We will outlive them". /end description
