The thing is to keep repairing and keep moving.  Deliberately not caring if this is pretentious. He/Him. I am an adult.  I reblog N/S/F/W; scroll or follow of your own responsibility. As a general rule I do not share crowdfunding requests/links.

People peopling - when humans are just being goofy doing people things.

Faith in humanity - stuff to counteract the feels that people are all awful

Weird art - this is a compliment. It stood out to me in a way that makes me want to save it so I can find it again and have thoughts about it.

Recc - something has twinged and i might look this up later

Caleb accidentally thinks his amazement thats so intimateeee esseks on the flooorrrr

"Maybe we can come back and exchange theories" is that what the kids are calling it. There has to be fic. (Feel free to recc me some) Ahhhhhhhhh

do any of you guys know about halacha regarding mikvot and conversions because i know someone about to have their beit din and finish converting and they said theyd be wearing a bathing suit to the "mikvah" which is actually a public lake. and like yeah i get that part i dont think public indecency is the answer, but I'm wondering if their conversion will even be valid. ive been suspcious of their rabbi before for being a little too progressive in ways that could jeopardize their conversion and i dont want them to work so hard just to not officially be jewish. anyway are the swim trunks ok bc its the law or should i suggest they find another location?

ok the council of jumblr has confirmed this is not halachically sound which i suspected but wasnt absolutely sure of. what do you guys suggest i do because i dont wanna be like "haha you cant be jewish now!" because of course they can but i also want them to be aware that their conversion may not be seen as valid outside of this one congregation. i also think its weird as shit that the rabbi presented it as ok. if they had said it wasnt ok but it was literally the only option then id get that more but lying about halacha is so messed up

holy shit holy shit holy shit. the rabbi was ordained by the esoteric theological seminary. you know, the site you pay 150 something bucks to to fast track you into becoming ordained? the same site people use to become "ministers" just so they officiate their friend's wedding? that theological esoteric seminary. they bought the title this is actually crazy and also makes a lot of sense

Ok I've gathered a short list of sources for evidence and also wrote a long message to my friend explaining how fucked up this is. my actual list of evidence is much longer but I dont think they need to be bombarded with all that right now. I'm gonna tell them tonight and it's not gonna be easy but they need to know this esp since their beit din was supposed to be within the next month or 2. they even wanted to make aliyah after converting and this "rabbi" still never told them that their conversion wouldnt even be recognized by Israel. I actually feel sick this is so messed up.

I love converts and real converts are real jews but unfortunately this is a growing trend with false conversions that are very scary and are going to cause a lot of problems in the future with marriages and aliyah and people finding out they were scammed and were never converted. Its also leading to a lot more "as a jew"s

I dont know how the minister to officiate a wedding works, but I know of know of no branch or stream of Judaism that will accept as a rabbi someone who bought the title online. Thats not a thing. At all. For anything.

I have to ask, is this so-called rabbi even Jewish themself? Who is this bet din theyre working with? Id question and look into everyone and every institution this so-called rabbi claims to be working with; either they dont know their "smicha" cones from the rice bubbles box or theyre equally sketchy for accepting that.

Your friend can still convert just not via this person.

Also what conversions israel does and doesnt accept is more complicated on top of this, its some absolute bullshit how they can decide what counts on sheer force of numbers and that the rabbanut is a government elected position but thats a differrent rant. Basically your friend needs to be really sure israel will accept their conversion if they want to make aliyah, thats super important, it might need to be orthodox im not sure.

This whole situation stinks; its not your friends fault, its the fault of this person calling themself a rabbi claiming to do conversion, and of the people selling this "ordination". What bullshit.

yes they are jewish. the beit din are people they themselves elected because theyre all friends previous to working together which explains a lot.

i have absolutely no clue if that friend even finished converting, last i heard they had joined a new synagogue with real qualifications. we are not friends now because they outed me to a known transphobe and got upset when i yelled at them

Holy shit, I am so so sorry, thats awful. And Im so sorry to inadvertently bring that back up for you. Is there anything I can do to help?

Apparently ICE now has agents posing as utility workers to get into people's homes. The electric and gas companies have posted information on how to tell if it's one of their workers, and numbers to call to confirm whether they've sent someone to do utility work on your house.

Stay safe, friends.

Ive have like 7 mighty nein episodes left plus the handful of specials.

Im trying to finish it.

But its almost *over*.

I think till now despite hundreds of hours, the only cr campaigns ive fully finished are calamity and wildmount wildlings. I think.

Idk what to feel i have to know how it ends but it cant be over I love them.

Then comes animated series and fanfic and I belieeevvvveee (do not confirm or deny thanks) they have cameos in c3 along with vox machina? Or some of them? But this is *their* story!

No way this Fjord wild magic hair stuff gets animated and hes just bald for the last episode or two, theyd have to change his whole model! Theyre having *Jester* heal *a lot* because injuries means a differrent model for multiple scenes!

Its fun to consider how this might all get adapted, especially with Avalir making a cameo (I still wanna see a hodmedod, please).

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Edit addition, v confused by Jester using her handaxe; whats wrong with her cantrips? Toll the dead is a fantastic cantrip and surely she has sacred flame? Does that do less damage than a handaxe I guess she is quite strong. A bit odd.

Oh its because theyre immune to radiant and necrotic and thats all her spells

Very good wand of smiles action 🤣

Tumblr is such a magical place. The mature content filter is shielding me from photos of ballgowns, but you better believe I've seen the entire uncensored ass of those hockey guys every day this week.
