I take this moment to remember all of the people who were murdered during the Holocaust, including members of my family, where only a handful survived. The Holocaust was not "just Jews", but Gypsies, the disabled, the elderly, LGBTQ, and anyone who dared to speak up against the "process" of Hitler's twisted ideas, including, … Continue reading Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day)
Judaism
Zionist: Night Three
If this is something you believe, allow me to educate you on the facts. And to correct all the incredibly misguided souls out there; Jews do not follow Jesus and we do not celebrate Christmas. If you know someone who does, they are either in an interfaith marriage or they're not practicing either faith very … Continue reading Zionist: Night Three
Letting It Pass
People make an awful lot of assumptions when you keep the majority of your thoughts private. They desperately try to read your body language and facial expressions, but they don’t know what any of them mean, so again, they make assumptions. I’m not the kind of person anyone should be making assumptions about. I have … Continue reading Letting It Pass
Happy Purim!
"For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place and you and your father's house will perish. And who knows whether you have not attained royalty for such a time as this?" – Esther 4:14
The First Night Of Chanukah
If one more person wishes me a "Merry Christmas", I will hurt them. It's very simple; I'm JEWISH. I feel like I've been over this a million times, but today I damn near lost my temper, so I'm going to reiterate this, but for the love of G-d, don't make me do it twice. Yes, … Continue reading The First Night Of Chanukah
Friday The 13th
It's Friday the 13th, a day that people either embrace or fear. A day that doesn't usually come around too often, but this year we have had three Friday the 13th's. We had one in February, one in March, and today is the third. It is very rare to get three Friday the 13th's in … Continue reading Friday The 13th
Praise Be Friday!
Happy Friday everyone! What a rough week. I am so physically, mentally, and emotionally drained that I am finding it difficult to move. Basically, it's like any other day, but there's the emotional component to it as well. If it were possible to sleep for 24 hours and not get a migraine from too … Continue reading Praise Be Friday!
This Is One Of My Lines- Do Not Fucking Cross It
I don't write about religion often. Usually I mention it in passing, not as core subject matter. I believe that we are all entitled to our personal beliefs, so long as we aren't hurting anyone. However, when I DO write about religion, it's because something has pissed me off, which brings me to why I … Continue reading This Is One Of My Lines- Do Not Fucking Cross It
The Good…
