(the Yellow Clothing Is Meant To Represent The Yellow Hostage Ribbons)

I need help finding this one reaction image where there’s a drawn character that looks like it fell on its back and one of the arms are bent back or something like that.

Can’t risk this

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.

Update: I’m back… :/

I can’t even eat any kind of pork.

This was quite a weird poll huh?

just asking for a mate

Green is my favourite colour

I have a very unhealthy obsession with dragons (which somehow didn’t bleed into this blog )

@very-evil-bubbles @smelgor @the-ghost-of-a-spirit @thejokig23 @chasmwilt @inwayovermyhead and @ anyone else who wants to join in! (You don’t need to answer if you don’t want to!)

And if you still think otherwise, maybe it’s time you did actual research about this clearly prevalent history!

Just your friendly (or not so friendly, take it as you will) reminder that Hanukkah is a Zionist holiday!!

We celebrate the reclamation of our indigenous homeland from invaders who wanted to take away our culture and religion.

It's the story of Jewish self-determination despite all odds.

Doesn't get more Zionist than that.

My irl friend and I do this thing where we bonk each other’s heads like this:

ding dong!

who is it?

PEACH ICED TEA, BAYBEE

Honestly I want a GIANT cup of that peach iced tea now.

Iced peach tea for the win!

Edit: that reminds me, I used to order that one iced peach green tea lemonade drink from Starbucks all the time before when I started college and someone told me that the iced teas aren’t apparently kosher because the tea liquid was in the container for way more than 24 hours. :(
