Since Cuomo is clearly jealous that he doesn't have a Treehouse Holiday

here's a sukkah appreciation thread

we'll start with something that seems within reach if I ever get a deck Image
and this one built of wooden shims Image
succulent sukkah

sukkulent Image
this sukkah, whose builders are PREPARED Image
love the autumn colors Image
honestly if I ever manage to obtain a living situation with a covered deck, I want it to just look like this all the time Image
Samaritans build sukkahs with these amazing fruit mosaic roofs Image
giant public sukkah Image
Sukkot on the Farm is trying to revive the ancient, ecstatic water festival of Simchat Beit Hashoeivah Image
Sukkahs with murals inside Image
avant-garde sukkah in Texas Image
avant-garde sukkah in Detroit Image
also avant-garde sukkah in Detroit: Image
simple, traditional sukkah to finish up the thread Image
anyway, Sukkot is the holiday where we:

A) build treehouses
B) sniff lemons
C) shake the lemons at God

Jewish holidays are awesome and it's too bad Cuomo can't get over his jealousy and just hang out in a treehouse with a Jewish friend
this has been your April edition of "these people and their fucking treehouses"

If I see another fucking "millennials are causing a housing shortage by buying houses" headline...

like sorry, last month we were wrecking the world by living in our parents' basements, so I'm having trouble keeping up with what we are and aren't supposed to do
and somehow, weirdly, it's millennials causing the housing shortage problem by buying homes and not

<checks notes>

the older people not selling their houses?
Like I don't know how to explain to these headline writers that "supply" is part of the supply and demand equation

Was reminded today that Judaism actually has a ritual for reuniting with friends you haven't seen in a long time. Image
If 30 days or more have passed since you have seen your friend, upon seeing them, you recite the following blessing:

Blessed are you, Eternal One, source of all being, who as sustained us and brought us to this moment. Image
If it has been 12 months or more since you have seen your friend, you say the following blessing:

Blessed are you, Eternal One, source of all being, who revives the dead. Image

But also, it’s perfectly fine to not be angsty.

Haydn was a happy cheerful guy who seemed to mostly like his work.

Do what works for you.
Like, especially for women, it’s okay to like and be proud of your creative output. It’s okay to think it’s good. It’s okay to accept compliments about it.

Normalize liking your own work.
Like I get really sick of the whole “my divine dissatisfaction makes me more alive than the peons” model of creativity.

It’s REALLY close to the Asshole Genius.

Plenty of artists are healthy people who aren’t abusive to themselves, others, or both.

Okay, let's talk about why attempts to critique (or hell, straight up stick it to) Christianity in SFF often end up being more anti-Jewish than they are anti-Christian.
This was inspired by Jay Kristoff's work, which manages to evoke a whole bunch of antisemitic medieval tropes AND, as a bonus, even shits on the name "Ashkenazi", which is the Jewish term for most European Jews.
But the thing is, Kristoff's SO antisemitic that I don't think it's accidental.

I'm more interested in how it happens out of ignorance rather than malice.

Hey NW people who can bear children:

Don’t fuck any cis man who can’t show you a receipt for a donation to the NW Abortion Access Fund that’s less than a year old.

Yes, that includes your husband.
If you’re someone who can get people pregnant, you need to be putting money toward protecting abortion access. If you won’t do that, you shouldn’t be allowed to risk getting anyone pregnant.
But, like, given that this country is already being INCREDIBLY shitty to trans men and NB people, I think the burden needs to be on cis men.
