before pesach, I’m always like “not eating bread for a week isn’t so bad” and then four days into pesach, I’m like "no wonder they call it the bread of affliction.“ "I understand what it means to have left Egypt.” “Everything is matzah.” “My dreams are made out of matzo.” “My walls are made out of matzoh.” “My heart is like Pharoah’s heart in that it is hardened and therefore made out of matzah.”

  • שו"ת הלכות קטנות חלק א סימן קעג "Question: If one is given a letter to deliver with the words P"agin (stands for one who reads this shall be bitten by a snake) of Rabbeinu Gershom Meor HaGolah and one suspects that there may be damaging information in the letter, what should one do?
  • Answer: It is perplexing situation. If one should open the letter,one violates the cherem. If one delivers the letter, it may have damaging consequences. If it is returned to the sender, he will just give it to someone else to deliver. There is no resolution of this situation other than to throw the letter to the wind or in the ocean."

I don't know what Noam's url is right now but also that.

omg first of all I love so much that you asked that like that makes me really happy

Noam is an angel in training.

Our phone conversations kept me going throughout senior year and then this summer. Now we haven’t been able to talk so much because we’re both busier but I’m so proud of them for the time they’re putting into school because G-d knows I didn’t/don’t but I do miss them a lot

All of these inside jokes with them are coming to mind so: I saw a Wonder Woman cup at Target last night but it was one that could spill, with a straw in it, and I don’t even know how I’d get it to them, so I didn’t buy it. Also I’m gonna see If/Then for a third time over Thanksgiving break, if they want to see it with me and my uncle and maybe more people but it’ll be fun!

omg I don’t even know where I’m going with this but Noam is wonderful and deserves to be loved, protected, and cherished and I should have answered this before I got deliriously tired

if i was to describe my aesthetic with miri it would be like those haunted house mansion places you run into in movies or scooby doo episodes that end up being way scarier than whatever you were running from but instead of being filled with ghost clowns or your worst nightmares or whatever, it would have cute small purple trampolines and doves and 1,000 piece puzzles (I realize that might not sound like something super exciting in most ppl's minds but trust me they are GREAt) and would fill you with happiness and peace and yea

people who aren’t down w/ platonic cuddles and “i love you”s are not to be trusted

lmao yeah some people have different boundaries than others or are physically uncomfortable being touched for any number of reasons, those aren’t valid and i don’t trust them! it’s reasonable or fair to expect other people to have the same emotional and physical comfort zones as i do

I should really be more careful about stuff like this 100% good commentary don't invade/mock people's boundaries its not an okay thing to do (sorry for reblogging this)

It’s a lie that poetry is only read by or “speaks to” people in the universities or elite intellectual circles; in many such places, poetry barely speaks at all. Poems are written and absorbed, silently and aloud, in prisons, in prairie kitchens, urban basement workshops, branch libraries, battered women’s shelters, homeless shelters, offices, a public hospital for disabled people, an HIV support group. A poet can be born in a house with empty bookshelves. Sooner or later, s/he will need books.

i was trying to make my friend a bday cake but the dye on the decorative icing started leaking and dripping everywhere so it accidentally became the most ominous and violent looking baked good ive ever seen…… i slapped on some sprinkles to try and make it less threatening looking. it worked a little bit.
