okay, I was not aware of the Hanukkah-Judith connection, but a few minutes of googling have brought me to the realization that it is very much A Thing and I have images to share (this August Riedel painting is only here so the first tweet has an image): Image
Okay, so first we have this image I already retweeted of a 19th century Italian hanukkiah, from the Jewish Museum, with a gloriously tits-out Judith brandishing Holofernes's head and standing atop two lions 11/10 need a replica Image
Here's an 18th century one from the Eldridge Street Museum.

4/10--not really comfortable with the halo, not enough knives, but the cherubim are fun Image

The most recent episode of The Wheel of Time was the best episode of *TV* they’ve done and also the most successful at conveying Jordan’s worldbuilding and that is not unrelated to it also diverging the most from the plot of the books. Image
(It’s also the first that’s had so much of a glimmer of fun in it.)
I could watch another hour just of Nynaeve hanging out around the fire with the Warders.

I’m not fond of every change they’ve made, but Nynaeve’s character is a VAST improvement.

why do men always act like people advocating for themselves is somehow this sketchy thing?

like, yes, people want their debt canceled, which is not somehow mutually exclusive with the student loan industry being predatory and bad for the economy
see also: "women want equal pay because they want more money!!!"

I mean: yes.
Status quo defenders are so used to creating layers of obfuscation as to why they want to maintain an unjust state of things from which they benefit so they can claim it’s actually just

that they’re shocked that anyone would admit to a personal, non-abstract stake in justice

honestly usually social media takes complicated things and robs them of nuance and oversimplifies them

on the whole introvert-extrovert thing, instead, they did the opposite and wrote fanfic where introverts are all soulful readers and extroverts are all sociopathic party people
so for the 900th time, I'm both about about as extroverted as it's possible to be, and also read more than you do, think more deeply than you do, and hate loud parties

the only difference is I like reading in a coffee shop instead of alone in my house

choke on it
but seriously, there are shy extroverts who like reading and egotistical must-be-the-center-of-attention introverts

and most human beings? are ambiverts

I don’t think any of the Christians going “how can someone lose their ethnicity?” re: Jews converting to Christianity are in good faith, but on the off chance that any of them are:

Jewishness probably maps more closely to *citizenship* than anything else.
Like the Jewish conception of peoplehood predates modern conceptions of race, ethnicity, and religion by a lot, which is why if you try to pin it down to any one of those things, it gets weird.
Membership isn’t defined by religious practice, and religious practice isn’t required, but religious practice can, in some circumstances, get you kicked out (if you choose to follow an incompatible religion).

I mean, converting to an idolatrous religion so clearly puts you outside the borders of peoplehood that the on-the-books response to it is EXECUTION.

That’s not a response I’m okay with, but it’s notable that the contemporary Jewish response to it is *less* harsh.
Christians are all out here insisting that Jews MUST consider Christians with Jewish ancestry to be Jews (and by extension, their Christianity to be Judaism) because they want to define Judaism solely in terms of blood (which, btw, is literally a Nazi position).
And it’s fascinating that they insist, that in 2021, Jews can’t kick out members of the community that practice idolatry, as if this is some sort of new development, when the Torah literally says we should remove them from the community BY KILLING THEM.
