the fact that "Last Jew/One Of Last Remaining Jews" in a specific geographic location is a type of profile unto itself sure is something.
like. think about that for a second. it is SUCH a frequent occurrence that Jews are driven out of places until there's none left/only a handful left that someone can say "i swear every time they profile one of the last remaining jews anywhere they are always A Character in true jewish fashion" and no one even blinks at that. just. i'm tired
(this is the post I'm referencing. OP's tags made clear she wanted it to be a spot of Jewish joy and I want to respect that so I made my own post to be sad and a downer. and the man in question sounds lovely. But then I started thinking about how common it is for there to be The Last Jew in any given locale and grief hit me.)
There was an interesting thread on Bluesky dissecting Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's relationship
TL:DR - It seems like Gaiman has been exaggerating the level of closeness between them for YEARS
Taras Shevchenko looks at you like... like as best as he can
[Image ID: An old format black box meme, featuring a photo of an embroidery portraying Ukrainian poet and artist Taras Shevchenko. Something is wrong with that embroidery. The eyes of a legendary poet: two burning white circles, staring at you from the black void of the sockets. Eyebrows: there are no eyebrows. His mouth is open in a silent scream, but there's only emptiness behind his lips. The embroidery's haunted. Probably, by the spirit of Taras Shevchenko himself. And he has a hangover. The text at the bottom reads: "Taras Shevchenko looks at you like... like as best as he can." /End ID]
Did you know that you can donate to help Ukrainian Bat Rehabilitation Center? Not only that, you can also "adopt" a bat! "Adopt" as in the bat you choose stays in the center, but you help it via donations and get regular updates on your bat. How cool is that!
Today I cried a little bit because I remembered that when Beethoven conducted his ninth symphony for the first time he got a standing ovation and one of the sopranos had to turn him around to see the audience.

if you think misogyny against women you don't like is acceptable, you are a misogynist.
Tankie as a word has lost pretty much all of its meaning. And, it is only a matter of time before anyone who thinks Nazis should be punched is labeled a "tankie".
you should always be careful when you fall back asleep again after waking up because sometimes you will just have a pleasant little snooze but sometimes you'll get trapped in TIME PRISON. unfortunately there is no way to predict this.
i love it when ancient historians give descriptions of locations and include folklore about them. :)
"The name of the local river is Bodincus. Apart from these facts, various tales about this river are familiar to Greeks, especially the legend of Phaeton and his fall, with its weeping poplars and black-clad river-dwellers (who still today are said to dress like this out of grief for Phaeton)" (polybius, histories)
bodincus is the po, on which I guess there were 'river-dwellers' who wore all black in Polybius day? probably not for that reason tho
“the submarine trip was stupid and rooted in classism”, “it’s absolutely hideous how much more manpower was put into saving and reporting on them vs the 500 migrants who died in a similar horrible fashion”, and “despite their actions, no human being (especially not a nineteen year old) should deserve to die like this, especially when their death will not actually herald any positive change/abolishment of the billionaire class” are three thoughts than can and should coexist. you don’t have to mourn their deaths, but you don’t need to celebrate them, either.
actually THIS is my new favorite doesthedogdie comment
