here’s the thing, gentiles. there is pretty much no “critique” of judaism you can make that a jew hasn’t already made.
“circumcision is bad!!!!!!!!”
plenty of jews agree and have been wrestling with this practice for decades.
“the bible says being queer is bad!!!!!!!!!”
these verses have been torn to shreds by jews for decades if not centuries. i know dozens of queer rabbis, and most of my friends are queer jews. my rabbi has a trans kid and frequently goes to our state capitol to yell at the government for being transphobic.
“what even is the point of keeping kosher!!!!!!!!!!”
we have entire books written about this and discuss it frequently.
“but israel!!!!!!”
congrats! ur just antisemitic.
in conclusion, there is no Hot Take you as a non jew can have abt judaism and jews that hasn’t already been discussed to death by jews. your dumb one liner has already been pondered for 200 years by a bunch of nerds in kippot on a tuesday afternoon. your revolutionary opinion is old news. you are boring. make some jewish friends and learn something.
I'm sorry I can't remember who on my dash said they were going to have a ton of spoiled food because of the hurricane.
If you have any kind of home insurance (owner or renter) there is likely a clause to cover spoiled food in the event of a power outage or disaster. It's generally between $200 and $500 and often no questions asked about the food itself. But you do have to call them and request it.
If you know anyone who's having this trouble please tag them in on this.
Dude wtf fanfiction is amazing for all the reasons already well known, but yesterday I read one and the way colours were described was just so beautiful and amazing!!!
Anyway this is a roundabout way of saying that I’m my English language exam today when I quite literally had no ideas of what to write about, this gave me inspiration and I started describing colours!!!
Fucking amazing!!!
Anyway shoutout to the fic Gold in the Air of Summer by @chitsangenthusiast on ao3, fucking amazing
tumblr mobile has steadily become near unusable these past few updates. not just from a user experience perspective (which is important enough in itself) but also from an accessibility perspective.
examples include the new way the image viewer works (if you can call it "working"), the tumblr live button replacing the profile button, and that newly created blogs will be forced to have their main dashboard tab be the 'for you' page.
reverse the recent image viewer update
scrap the new users 'for you' page default setting
let us turn off tumblr live indefinitely
increase efforts against spam / porn bots
make reporting abuse and hate speech as easy as reporting as reporting spam
let us go nuts show nuts again... for real this time
remove flashing ads, including not accepting blaze campaigns for posts with flashing in them
commit to improving usability and accessibility, and listening to users!
(suggestions welcome!)
to protest against these usability issues, and inspired by the recent reddit blackout, i propose a 48 hour blackout (where you don't use tumblr at all). preferably of both mobile and web (since web has problems too) but mobile is the focus here.
[edit: a 'blackout' is when you don't log in, or interact with the site at all, for [x] amount of time.]
this marks the end of pride month (for the "queerest place on the internet") and the start of disability month (since accessibility is a massive issue here).
tumblr office is in San Francisco, USA, so the times and dates will be calculated using their time zone (PDT).
i can't afford to blaze this post so please spread it around as much as possible! protests only work if significant numbers show up!
