Hey. Gentiles. Listen up for a sec.
When September and October are nearing and you’re planning an event: google “Rosh Hashanah *year*” and *Yom Kippur *year*” and then, and I cannot stress this enough, don’t plan your event on those days. In fact, don’t plan any events starting sundown the night before. Those are the three most important days of the Jewish calendar, and, once again, I cannot stress enough how much this little bit of forethought and kindness will make every Jew you know cry tears of joy.

Meet My OCs: Artie (Part 1 - Background)

WAAAAAAY back in May of 2019, I thought it would be fun to introduce my OCs to the world. I had created the Meet My OCs series with the intent to add to it every (other?) Sunday. I got to July of that year (but 11 posts… yay!) before I fell off the wagon for that project.

Well, this morning, I was suddenly struck with this urge to introduce you to one of my OCs again: Artie.

Poor Artie wasn’t included when I first listed off my OCs (neither was Willow’s brother Shawn… whoops!). For Artie, it was mainly because I was focused on the OCs I created for either my fantasy world Gyateara, or my X-Men-inspired cyberpunk-lite story Glitches. Artie fits in neither category.

(Along those lines, I have four other D&D characters, and 2 wholly original story OCs that should be added to that already 14-deep list of OCs….)

ANYWHO!

Who’s ready to meet Artie?

Whomever you are, if you see this, know that I notice you tearing through my entire ML fanfic catalogue, and I love you so much for it. I cannot say so directly to you on AO3 because you don’t leave comments. But I see your name repeated in my Kudos notifications. And you have warmed my heart. Thank you.

I still don’t know how well the alt-text works for all screen readers and/or if the image itself doesn’t load. So… here… have an image ID version (includes the same text as the alt-text)…

A Bitmoji (cartoon image) of me drawing a large heart. I have red hair swept into a ponytail over my left shoulder. I’m wearing a blue shirt with “I CAN’T EVEN” written across it in shaky yellow font. I’m smiling as I’m closing out a giant heart drawn via dashed lines in the air in front of me.

The fact that Judaism is trending because of both the wave of bomb threats on synagogues and Bradley Cooper’s Antisemitism Adventure (his huge fake prosthetic nose, and him basically stealing the story from a Jewish man) is so infuriating and so exhaustingly typical.
The fact that I see Judaism trending on Tumblr and immediately think “oh no. Something Bad is happening to us.” We’re never trending cause it’s fucking good. I never get to be excited, it’s just cold dread.
The fact that Antisemitism is getting worse everyday and the only ones who ever talk about it are other Jews. The fact that no one else fucking cares. The only ones who support us are other Jews. Even when gentiles talk about Nazis or white supremacists they don’t want to help us. We’re just their prop, the canary in the coal mine and the perfect victim.
The fact that everyone’s uncomfortable with Jews still being here. Reminding them of things they’d rather forget.
The fact that it’d be easier for them if we were all dead. Then they could tell stories about our people, dressed in offensive caricatures, without us making a fuss.

image embedded in tweet is a full bin labeled “Free Condoms, Be Safe Today!”, with the aro flag on both the label and each of the condom packets, next to a full bin labeled “Free Water Balloons, Have Fun Today!”, doing the same thing with the ace flag.
This is in fact a funny joke, but it’s worth noting that that condoms are stronger than balloons. I say this as someone who has taken a 3 pound bag of water to the face that did not explode.

Still feels weird that the same band made “You’re Gonna Go Far, Kid” and “Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)”
It’s like if Smash Mouth and Fall Out Boy were one band.
The Offspring are honestly a contender for the funniest punk band ever, made even funnier by the fact that Dexter Holland is pushing 60 now and has a PhD in virology.
Like imagine being on an academic committee and reviewing a dissertation on HIV protein-encoding genomes and it’s from a guy with frosted tips whose greatest legacy is the Crazy Taxi soundtrack.
That’s the Offspring.
We’re talking about the hilarious band that is Offspring? Good, I have things to say:
1. I have their albums on vinyl and on the record they’ll say stuff like “yeah, just lay back and do nothing”, or “wow that song was amazing”, and it comes out of nowhere.
2. Saw them live this year; 30 minutes before they get on they’ll have a big count down with a gorilla shooting shirts into the crowd with a bazooka. They have kiss cams, dance cams, drink cams etc. They do quizzes. It’s mayhem.
3. Speaking of their live shows, their playlist during the wait consisted out of the Spice Girls and Darude Sandstorm. That’s not a joke.
4. They pride themselves on the fact they are not a serious band. Nothing about them is taken in serious context. They don’t need to. They’re Offspring.
In conclusion, they’re so stupid, I love them
That sounds like a great concert

i got these knockoff boots online and instead of the brand name on the tag they have the name of an apparently nonexistent martin scorsese movie??? what the fuck
How the fuck does his have less than 200k after setting the internet on fire for months
This lack of notes is probably a big part of why TikTok seems to think they invented the meme.
They think WHAT?!

Like the guy said. Sometimes the things you need to do to heal might feel silly, but don’t let that stop you.
Heal yourself.
This is so beautiful and affirming.
