Sayaka Wants To Dance Too.

I seriously need to update my profile picture….

Sick to my stomach just reading this!

Hamas is treating the hostages like worthless little playthings that have no other meaning to them.

The fact that the propaganda involved a “guessing game” for the viewers is infuriating especially since SO MANY IGNORANT PEOPLE claim everything but the truth!!

So for all of you reading this reply: let’s get right on to the FACT!!

The FACT is that Hamas is a terrorist organization that does horrid and unspeakable crimes against Israel and its citizens. Hamas ensures that all funding and aid don’t go to the actual people they claim to protect but instead continue to build upon their regime which includes torturing, killing, and holding innocent Israelis hostage for their own evil gains!!

If you’re offended by this, unfollow me right now! I had enough of this! I can’t believe that the internet went feraly rabid to hop on the antisemitism train! I alway see my friends getting harassed and sent death threats online and I will not have any of it! I will not play your game and will reject any death threats on the asks!

I cannot even begin to express how horrifying the lack of outrage about this is.

May anyone who ever claimed "the hostages were treated well" be cursed. Such lies are absolutely disgusting and despicable.

This is not what being treated well looks like. This is psychological torture, abuse, and warfare. This is pure evil.

Do you ever feel super productive for most of the week and then out of nowhere you one day is just stops and your brain becomes non stop tv static for hours on end?

If you reblog her picture within the next twenty-five seconds you will have good luck and fortune for the rest of your life. 

Oh my gosh, my art changed so drastically since starting college!

(and some other influential factors over time caused this too but I'd have to go on about that...)

Well these turned out pretty cool:

Should I do a red bubble?

I heard it’s not that great for expanding my artwork into merch but I really want to start on something….

How do you get all three boop badges?

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.

If anyone is looking for a Christmas Hannukah present, I highly recommend The Latke Who Couldn't Stop Screaming, by Daniel Handler Lemony Snicket.

It's the story of a little latke who has to deal with obnoxious Christmas decorations who think Hannukah is Jewish Christmas. And also being fried in hot oil.
