Slept over at this girl once who had linen sheets and it was the most comfortable sleep I’ve ever had hands down. Zero sweat, superb texture. Well turns out this is like 800$ or so for two sets we’re sticking with ikea.

ladies what’s the bed sheet alpha? linen? egyptian cotton? silk? help a bachelor out

@funanchill @dovidmargolin My family's Ashkenazi cuisine has always had spices and herbs...dill, parsley, alliums (so much garlic), thyme, rosemary, paprika, etc.
English
@dovidmargolin And bagels and lox. Yes we have some delicious items but overall we have a drab grey cuisine without spice or fresh herbs. Sephardic doesn’t suffer from this problem,
English
Dude, brisket is an Ashkenazi food. So is pastrami. And matzah ball soup. They’re all really good.
Matthew Zeitlin@MattZeitlin
They keep Sephardic Jews a secret from Ashkenazi children, not because of racism, but because otherwise the children would expect good food at holidays
English
@TehWonderkitty That's basically the plot of the musical Spring Awakening
English
I swear 50% of societal issues are because parents just refuse to have potentially uncomfortable conversations with their children and have for generations.

“Free condoms?? What would I tell my kids if they saw those????” Probably like “That’s something for grown-ups” if they’re prepubescent, or “Those are barriers to make some kinds of sex safer” if they’re a teenager. Just be matter-of-fact and developmentally appropriate. Jeez

@jewishmemequeen Except that matzah toffee brittle is delicious and great year round

“Kosher for Passover and all year round”
There’s no way I’m ever going to choose a potato flour sand cookie in July.

@MattZeitlin @daveweigel The main problem is a lot of people grew up eating horrible convenience versions, like jarred gefilte fish.

@reality0628 @ChefGruel I saw someone in a military uniform at CVS today
English
@ChefGruel Cute story but you can’t wear a military uniform outside of base - have a family member in the marines.
English
We have a baked potato and side salad combo on the menu for this purpose because it happens so often.
Damin Toell@damintoell
Wow, it’s amazing how often this happens!
English
@alpacaficus @uwuhours OK basically when your poor you buy cheap work boots and they don't last so you have to buy them a lot vs having the money for good ones that last forever. That seems to apply to what you described for bras.
English
bra fact of the day: D/DD cups are usually not “big”… most people just don’t have proper bra education
THEJaxEsq@THEJaxEsq
Heavy is the bra that holds the DD naturals
English
@MattZeitlin Grew up in LA, so I can't relate. Also, my Ashkenazi Jewish mom is a fantastic cook, and we always ate very well at holidays
English
@alpacaficus @uwuhours Oh durability is a whole ass topic. You know the work boot metaphor?
English
@alpacaficus @uwuhours Well put. I think my issue was it was pretty basic bras. This would've been the early 00s so the great ones were only at high end dept stores and out of reach for the women in my life. It feels like things have gotten a bit better at least!
English
@nunboi @uwuhours Yes, but I'm going to wear these bras more often than someone might wear a nice silk tie. The cost is kinda ridiculous, but only when you don't realize that the cost of materials and skill needed to make a durable garment that will be worn nearly every day is worth the price.
English
@alpacaficus @uwuhours To add, I remember when I learned as a younger me that a basic bra cost as a nice silk tie. It was like WTF. Once again sadly it's the woman tax on everything.
English
Like I even got into Remnants that series was wild

As someone who read & still owns all 54 Animorphs, 4 Megamorphs, 3 Alternamorphs, and Andalite/Hork-bajr & Eliminate Chronicles, I need this to happen

@dkgpgptnr3or9 @Grogposter @Chukuma1manup @h34j3j8j @AceRedBand1t ? There about twice as many Jews in the US as there are Muslims
English
@Grogposter @Chukuma1manup @h34j3j8j @AceRedBand1t And yet for some reason they are by FAR the most common religious event besides christian holidays. Mind you there are double the muslims in that country yet "sabbatical, bar mitzvah, ashkenazi" and "krav maga" get used super often. Muslim holidays genuinely get only named 1/2

When you go back and watch old shows/movies you’ll be sick at how much Mossad propaganda was just everywhere.

My takeaway from Seder has always been “It is just — and indeed imperative — to struggle, even violently, for liberation against subjugation,” not “we must establish a settler colonial Jewish supremacist nation state through ethnic cleansing beginning in the mid-20th century.”
Jon Levine@LevineJonathan
I genuinely don't understand how these people celebrate Passover — the entire holiday is a refutation of everything they believe
English
@PercivalRoad @CoraCHarrington I'm pretty curvy in that region, and I love my bias cut skirt
English
@CoraCHarrington They are only flattering if you have no hips and a flat bottom
English
Remember that time on here when people said bias cut silk skirts were ugly?

@pjharpy @muaddibstyle I mean, if you're going to be that technical, the roots of fantasy (folklore/fairy tales) are full of horror — cutting off toes and heels, cannibalism, etc.
English
@muaddibstyle Everyone trying to do a gotcha with The Wizard of Oz movie either hasn't watched it recently or got distracted by the Technicolor. It's chock full of horror!
(I will give them the books though, they're pretty straightforwardly fantasy)
English
I’ve been thinking about this a lot, and I’m realizing there’s plenty of Americana inspired fantasy but it’s all horror.
Jo🌺🎬@Goldxn_Violin
It's kind of insane how little Americana-inspired fantasy there is out there
English
@muaddibstyle I think South by Midnight counts as this, and while there are dark elements I wouldn't call it horror compulsiongames.com/games/south-of…

@WorldsWorstXMan @nintendopower45 @_celia_bedelia_ The phrase "zionist degeneracy" is clearly used here as a vague veneer over the conspiracy theory that "jewish degeneracy" creates porn and sex positive culture...you're obfuscating by saying that zionism doesn't equate to Judaism
English
@alpacaficus @nintendopower45 @_celia_bedelia_ Girl you have to have misread what I said or you’re replying to the wrong person
