Shana Tova! Today Is The First Day Of Rosh Hashanah, The Jewish Near Year. May It Bring The Best For

Vampires when they sip on your blood and catch extra strength Tylenol, at least two psychiatric meds, two cups of coffee, weed, and microplastics 

shabbat is for nervous system recovery it doesn’t matter if you’re not religious it still has so much meaning and importance!!! why do secular people not understand this!!! reducing it to ‘silly’ or ‘pedantic’ rules about not driving or shopping or using electricity is so patronising and ignorant. I don’t want to drive 3 hours on shabbat for a hike because it’s exhausting and this is a day about recovering from exhaustion. I don’t want to go shopping because the lights are bright and the crowds are noisy. I don’t want to cook or do laundry because it’s loud and/or messy and because this is one time in my week I allow myself to just Not Do Things!!!

I am literally sitting here on my phone. I was reading from my kindle earlier and I’m about to drive to a little hike about 25 minutes away. maybe my shabbat would be even more relaxing if I followed jewish law more closely, I don’t know. but this is something that works for me and so I’m strict about keeping it because it adds something positive to my life, not simply because it’s a religious law. why is it so hard for secular people, jewish or not, to consider judaism with even just the tiniest bit of nuance

walking into erev rosh hashanah services tomorrow like "what a fucking year, my man"

I’m logging off all socials for tomorrow, so I just want to say to my fellow Jews:

I hope you are safe. I hope you are hugged. I hope nothing bad reaches you.

Please take care of yourselves. Not only in physical safety, but mentally too. If social media becomes too much, allow yourself to log off. Try to do something you like - I know it may come with a sense of guilt but I’ve found it helps while grieving.

Feel all you need to feel. Cry all you need to cry - and if that means not crying at all, that’s ok, too.

No October 7th will ever be the same for any of us. This is the first anniversary, hopefully the next one will be a little more bearable. עם ישראל חי

reminder that disinformation is bad even when it furthers your narrative. if an organization is bad, you don't have to make up lies about it being bad. it's already bad literally just utilize the facts that are available to you

cursive hebrew is cool until you get to the unknown pokemon looking ass letters. you know the ones.

there is SO much misinformation circulating about harris right now. remember that if something will affect your vote or make you feel bad about your vote, you need to fact-check it. for decades, people have intentionally spread misinformation about candidates, and it’s not going to stop now (not to mention the misconceptions or warping of information that can happen even among the supporters of a candidate.) check reliable news sources. don’t just trust social media. if it will change ANYTHING for you, make sure it’s true.

Shabbat shalom
