For those that are going to miss the eclipse on Monday, I have created a simulation of what the eclipse will look like along the path of totality
Well these turned out pretty cool:
If you read nothing else on my blog at least read this:
Jewish survival is beautiful, and amazing.
I know times right now are absolutely awful, and it can feel like the world is against us. We're seeing the Nazi marches, the targeting of Jewish businesses, harassment of religious Jews, and so much more at a much more severe rate than many of us have seen within our lifetimes.
But we've survived this before.
The most dangerous thing right now is to lose hope. To lose hope of a better future, to lose hope of any future. We have survived the pogroms, the Holocaust, the Inquisition, the many Middle Eastern anti-Jewish genocides and attacks, various expulsions and so much more.
I've reblogged someone else's post saying this before but I'm going to say it here again: every single Jew alive right now is a miracle.
So here's one thing I want to ask of you: Live.
Do it out of love for your fellow Jews, do it out of spite towards our enemies, do it so that there will be more miracles in the future.
Living is the greatest form of Jewish rebellion.
Living a proud Jewish life is even more so, but at the very least, please live.
Please please please don't give up on life right now. If you feel alone, reach out. Reach out to your fellow Jews, find non-Jewish allies to stand by your side, seek out supportive communities.
As a Jew, you are never truly alone. You have people who will love you like family if you just reach out, because we are one. One family, one nation, one soul. And we all care for each other.
Am Yisrael Chai 💕
Today I just discovered hbomberguy on here and it’s apparently trending. I never heard of this is YouTuber until now so can someone please explain to me what’s going on?
I’m seeing the new movie with my fam later today!
Hopefully it’s a solid sequel.
This new character seems a little familiar...
oh wait:
Marking this on my calendar!! 🗓️
Just a reminder that Valentine's Day isn't a secular holiday and that there should never be any expectation to celebrate any non-secular holidays.
Keep non-secular holidays out of popular culture expectations.
(Regardless of how you think about it or celebrate it, Valentine's Day did not have secular origins, making it an inherently non-secular holiday.)
One of my favorite Purim memories was when I was around 8 or 9 dancing with my family wearing a yellow princess dress. It not as vivid but from it I still feel the innocence and just pure joy I had in that moment.
With all the antisemitic violence we're seeing everywhere, I think we deserve a positivity break.
Since Purim is right around the corner, what's one of your favorite Purim memories? (If you can't pick one you can do multiple.)
I think this might've been two years ago or so but the Chabad I went to back home was hosting a Purim celebration. During this party they decided to have us play trivia and I won! (I get super competitive during trivia events haha.)
So yeah that was really fun!!
Looking forward to seeing your responses, and remember to take care of yourselves!
Boom! 💥

I’m goin to draw my pfp this time I can’t go on depending on picrews (I mean I did picrews so I wouldn’t have to draw one) but this doodle from yesterday is a great base for a digital profile:
Will change up the clothes on the drawing software :3
I was also there.
It was just so amazing and refreshing to see especially when I’m used to seeing primarily not-Jewish things being celebrated and shown in public all the time.
This was such a full scale celebration, more so as in jewbilation (ba-dum tsss!)
Anyway, this will be forever one of the greatest moments ever!
Today, my school's Chabad held a Jewish joy/pride festival right in the middle of campus. They set up a bunch of booths with Jewish activities. There was a booth for braiding challah, making bracelets with our Hebrew names, various Jewish pride stencils to spray paint Chabad shirts. There were tables to pick up shabbat candle kits or wrap teffilin. Jewish music played loudly (but without disturbing nearby classes of course) and people were dancing along to songs like Am Yisrael Chai, I'm a Jew and I'm Proud, Very Narrow Bridge, and other blatantly Jewish songs.
Most of my friends and I couldn't stop smiling. This spot in campus where just last year people were shouting for the destruction of our homeland and our families and us, after nearly a year of being shamed for our Jewish pride and being told we shouldn't be proud, and so much time spent on a campus filled with hate, we were bringing joy back to campus.
I feel like most of my latest posts have been fairly negative. It's hard not to write my heavy heart onto the screen, especially after the murder of Hersh and the other hostages, and just everything going on overall. But this festival reminded me of how much power Jewish joy holds.
If you're feeling upset about the war, I'm with you. Few days go by without tears shed or pain felt. But remember that being Jewish is infinitely more than antisemitism and loss. Being Jewish is joy, and it is pride. We are our ancestors' wildest dreams, we are all miracles, and we cannot forget this for a single moment.
Be joyful in a world filled with sorrow, and bring light with you wherever you go.
