The lady at the desk at my mom’s rehab place went “happy easter” so i said “chag sameach”

2/ and because they believe Timmy (who fell down the well) was actually killed for blood matzah. Otherwise it’s simply not historically accurate. Just a pro tip! ☺️ have a fun time! Oh and remember to do your hiding during an Easter pogrom!

If anyone is having a “Christian Seder” without Jews: consider having someone reinact the part where devout mobs of Christians break the door down, drag you away, and torture/SA you and set fire to your village for (checks notes) observing Passover 1/

if i play with my cats for too long i start imagining what it would be like as a mouse in their crosshairs and then i get really sad

the downside of using Facebook Marketplace as a man is the fact that everyone is constantly suspicious you're a serial killer. though i suppose it IS preferable to being nervous you'll be serial killed while dropping off some lamp you've had in your attic since college

no one at shul knows i can do this btw #jewish

Grab a book, avoid the plagues! Er… it’ll be like manna in the desert!

the thing about it is you care less what people think of you online when you have an actual offline life. I get people mad at me for stupid shit all the time and I log off and spend time with my husband and our cat and we all adore each other. living well is the best revenge, etc

I wish more people cared about bettering themselves simply because. I wish more people wanted to learn and wanted others to learn. I wish more people loved humanity and art enough to want more for us all.

It’s not just that Christians holding Seders is weird, it’s that they can’t do it without also implying that the Jews are doing it “wrong” like excuse me that is a privilege reserved for the uncle no one likes who finds a new section of the chosen Haggadah to complain about every year.

i put the mask on, said “ah yes phantom of the opera” set it down and THEN realized—

on my way to the extra shabbat seder at Temple just thinking about arthur waskow

i am not always as patient with this as i should be

“Three funerals, three transgender people, one week”: An urgent call to protect trans lives “[Suicide] is not inherent to being trans. It correlates strongly with rejection, discrimination, delayed access to care and sustained hostility. The risk is not identity. The risk is the environment.”

ideally your story should wash over me without inspiring a single distinct thought on my part. it’s the only way for your story to succeed.

never include a prologue or an epilogue. epithets are completely out of the question. epigraphs? don’t even think about it. A framing narrative? Go fuck yourself. never play with the form or do anything interesting. gimme thin unobtrusive narrative gruel, every time!!

omg guys you’re never gonna believe this but the author of fourth wing just reached out to me! 😶

realizing that my conversion created a more complicated relationship with Jesus Christ Superstar than the actual Jesus Christ

Cultural Christian Knows Nothing About Jewish People: you jews think you’re so smart but i bet you never knew the bible isn’t the literal historical truth! i bet you feel ridiculous now!

big day for people who wish the 1826 west point whisky-eggnog riots had involved automatic weapons

one of our most fun holidays centers around the marriage of a jewish girl and a persian king and it’s a mitzvah to party about it!

the other one I have to repost every year

The secret fifth child who asks: "did you know that the third plague was a singular giant frog that covered all of Egypt?"

forgot the most important of the genre

moby-dick, his eyes enormous: from hell's heart you STAB at moby? for hate's sake you spit your last BREATH at moby? oh! oh! the great shroud of the sea for ahab! the great shroud of the sea rolling on as it rolled five thousand years ago!!!!

Strange things are afoot on April Fool's Day... I recommend giving a listen to "Sara and Lilly" on @fictionfanspod.bsky.social ... 🤓🤣 and you'll see what I mean!

Easter vs. Passover #jewish #passover

Everyone should read this awesome series!!

one under-discussed element of the few days preceding Passover is knowing you’re about to see a wave of hate crimes in the next few days but also knowing you can’t let it stop you from doing what you’re gonna do

one of our most fun holidays centers around the marriage of a jewish girl and a persian king and it’s a mitzvah to party about it!

met someone the other day who was shocked by the concept of persian/jewish couples In Times Like These and my first instinct was to go “this has probably been a thing since at least 539 BCE back when Cyrus the Great did us that huge solid”

I write books sometimes Last Gasp is a quick brutal emotional gut punch Kasaban is achingly dark, cruel, hopeful and character driven Monsters is fantasy noir up to its neck in violence, spice, and magick Immortals is epic, multi-pov & questy w/magick duels & sword fights

It's the last day of the Trans Rights Readathon! Have you checked out the fundraiser auction? www.32auctions.com/organization... I did just check it out because I have an item up for bidding in there, and oh my good god.

someone attempted to murder a hundred jewish preschoolers a few weeks ago and my rabbi's former synagogue was firebombed a few weeks before that and this guy's over here like "this is just like that time i recently learned not to be scared around black people!"

One more thought for Trans Day of Visibility: A number of US states are quickly advancing measures to criminalize being trans, and that will detransition, imprison, or kill trans people. Other countries are limiting access to healthcare and adding barriers. Cis people need to speak up as well.
