It's my 1 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

I don’t watch Hazbin Hotel, but here’s an Angel Dust I drew for @tower-of-sorcerers.

Can’t believe Pesach flew by so fast this year!

Le’Chaim to a successful chag!!

My campus had a telescope that could safely display the eclipse happening in real-time. It was wild!

Someone there also brought a camera to take pictures too. I did my best to take photos from the display.

who out here watching the eclipse? anybody got pics? we're overcast as hell so i can't see a thing :(

As a Jew, it’s horrifying to see what has been going down in the past few days! Please please please keep yourselves and your families and friends safe!

Jews of Tumblr: stay safe this Friday.

Stay safe always, but be especially vigilant this Friday.

I was also there.

It was just so amazing and refreshing to see especially when I’m used to seeing primarily not-Jewish things being celebrated and shown in public all the time.

This was such a full scale celebration, more so as in jewbilation (ba-dum tsss!)

Anyway, this will be forever one of the greatest moments ever!

Today, my school's Chabad held a Jewish joy/pride festival right in the middle of campus. They set up a bunch of booths with Jewish activities. There was a booth for braiding challah, making bracelets with our Hebrew names, various Jewish pride stencils to spray paint Chabad shirts. There were tables to pick up shabbat candle kits or wrap teffilin. Jewish music played loudly (but without disturbing nearby classes of course) and people were dancing along to songs like Am Yisrael Chai, I'm a Jew and I'm Proud, Very Narrow Bridge, and other blatantly Jewish songs.

Most of my friends and I couldn't stop smiling. This spot in campus where just last year people were shouting for the destruction of our homeland and our families and us, after nearly a year of being shamed for our Jewish pride and being told we shouldn't be proud, and so much time spent on a campus filled with hate, we were bringing joy back to campus.

I feel like most of my latest posts have been fairly negative. It's hard not to write my heavy heart onto the screen, especially after the murder of Hersh and the other hostages, and just everything going on overall. But this festival reminded me of how much power Jewish joy holds.

If you're feeling upset about the war, I'm with you. Few days go by without tears shed or pain felt. But remember that being Jewish is infinitely more than antisemitism and loss. Being Jewish is joy, and it is pride. We are our ancestors' wildest dreams, we are all miracles, and we cannot forget this for a single moment.

Be joyful in a world filled with sorrow, and bring light with you wherever you go.

Just a reminder that Valentine's Day isn't a secular holiday and that there should never be any expectation to celebrate any non-secular holidays.

Keep non-secular holidays out of popular culture expectations.

(Regardless of how you think about it or celebrate it, Valentine's Day did not have secular origins, making it an inherently non-secular holiday.)

Whether you watch the show or not, we can all agree that Adrien Agreste/Cat Noir should have been the main character.
