queer, anarchist, jew. migrant in hamburg.

I like thinking about Talmud, phenomenology, and decolonial theory. I also like working with my hands.
We have oranges, tomatoes, and dates, to signify queer folks, modern labor rights issues, and the plight of the Palestinian people. We also do miriams cup, all pouring our glass into a pitcher or bowl to ensure nobodys contribution is left out

Wow, that took me down a long etymology spiral! Looks like that also exists in Ukrainian and Russian. Thanks for this!

Can someone teach me the #yiddish way to say something like "boy howdy!" or "hoo dawgy"? I am humbled and exasperated by the difficulty of memorizing this very dry Torah portion.

Brings new meaning to "may his memory be for a blessing"

also: hah! I had no idea until just now that you were the author of velveteen rabbi. Just last week I told someone that your blog is one of my favorites, and your words consistently make a deep and positive impact on me. I'm happy to have contributed a tiny bit to this one.

I'm a relatively new student, but I think the left most two words in the video title are what you're looking for. سلطة فلاحية

Listening to an audiobook doesn't *need to be* reading. It's a perfectly valid way of consuming books. It's not less than. And we don't need to torture the English language to recognize that.

Differences aren't bad! Differences are fine!

You don't have to be convinced of the "we're fucked, nobody is going to save us" premise to appreciate... maybe you'd be interested to read this poignant piece about concentration camp resistance, + anarchist nihilism generally: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/serafinski-blessed-is-the-flame

Can you not add extra fields or details in that password manager? I always pick random questions & random answers and put them all in my PW manager. My mother probably has like twenty maiden names. I don't want to remember anything!
Anyway best of luck hacking yourself out of here. Wish I could help

Would you be interested in a walk through on getting set up with a password manager?I know it wont help thwart the sabotage efforts of past you but it could be kind to future you
