interested in yiddishkeit and the yiddish language. looking to follow jewish artists and scholars 🏳️🌈🕎 lesbian theatre artist, she/her
I'm listening to the Yiddish voice interview w moshe lebel and he has the most beautiful podcast voice of all time....af Yiddish
gonna be in williamsburg for work tonight...should i invite the yidn afn gas to the clown show about rape i'm working on?
i'm so studious 🤓 ("yiddish textbook" has been on my to-do list every day for the last two weeks and this is the first time i actually did it)
this is why tamsyn muir is and forever will be my favorite author
if i were to ~theoretically~ visit warsaw, krakow, and prague (also open to other cities in that region) what should i hit up??
i'm obsessed with how evil the food at this jewish restaurant in krakow looks. three of them look like they were taking in a hostage situation. and that fish? gefilte fish like i've NEVER seen it.

i just started the slaughterman's daughter by yaniv iczkovitz and it's really really good so far and has some really beautiful papercutting-style art before some of the chapters!
how am i supposed to act when ppl in my irl circles are still posting stuff about how judaism is zionism...
my upstairs cat has miraculously decided she can be a downstairs cat. so every time she comes downstairs i say "sholem aleichem gretala! zayt bagrist tzu undzer salon~" bc it makes her feel fancy and she speaks yiddish
I would also like to say that American Islamophobes have been doing the same thing to normal Muslim spaces and activities for decades now (madrassas! radicalization! sharia!). It's the same shit with a different target.
post malone ergo propter malone@proptermalone.bsky.social · 2w agofwiw this is Hasan Piker on that same seven hour stream about five minutes before the other thing, and it would be super helpful if people generally and Piker specifically could avoid describing all Jewish summer camps and day schools as propaganda centers for a monstrous war
im complaining but i had a fun time at yiddishland and i learned so much and got to spend time with so many cool people <3 im very inspired to make yiddish art again
i was curious whether china had capital punishment so i went to wikipedia and the article had this amazing ming dynasty painting depicting an execution...i just love the people having tea and snacks in the window while an execution goes down on the street. plus the guy holding his own head lol
i really don't understand the appeal of using AI for creative writing. what's the point? it takes all the fun out of it?? creative writing is such a process and the point of it, to me at least, *is* the process and how satisfying it is to figure out a story and research it and everything
sometimes i feel like i'm living in an alternate universe when i see people talking like, "how do you NOT use ai?" i dunno? i've never used it? i've never even been tempted to use it. i turned off the ai summary on my search engine and i don't use it for writing literally anything. it's not hard
My parents are in france rn and my mom just sent me this. Who is this shalom an-ski they speak of....
judaism is like if ocd was a religion. is that anything
