I keep seeing this post and Iā€™ve gotta speak up on it, because that isnā€™t a good example of color on dark skin.Ā 
Iā€™m a tattoo artist, and Iā€™ve had a bunch of clients come in saying they were told dark skin canā€™t take any color whatsoever, which is bullshit. The long and short of it is dark skin can take plenty of color, provided it isnā€™t too light.
Tattoos look best when theyā€™re fresh because the ink is still on the top layer of open skin. As the skin heals over the tattoo, the color gets less vibrant and defined. This is true of anybody of any skin tone. Tattoo pigments tend to act a lot like watercolor; theyā€™re not terribly opaque in the skin, meaning that as that tattoo ages, the white will fade into patches of slightly lighter skin, and may disappear altogether, as will lighter colors like yellows and pinks. Many artists consider doing tattoos entirely or mostly in white ink to be irresponsible for that reason, and use white ink very sparingly to create small highlights, in places where even faded ink will add contrast.

Notice how the yellow is all but gone on even the lightest skin, while the deeper reds have stayed. And that isnā€™t even factoring in sun exposure, how often the skin is submerged in water, friction, or how the skin in the area bends and flexes. I know extremely pale people who lost all the color in their tattoos in 5 years due to a variety of those factors; Iā€™m pale as they come, and the yellow in my oldest tattoo is only 2 years old and already super faded.Ā 
Color that lasts a long time is darker and more saturated than the skin itā€™s in.

See how the butterfly is still noticeably purple, and stands out in all the skin tones?
Teals, yellows, pinks and whites photograph beautifully in dark skin, but ultimately donā€™t have longevity as tattoos. Dark skin, however, can still take reds, blues, greens, purples, and browns beautifully! The best way to make color vivid in any skin is to put it in a strong black outline; tattoos like the one below will look like bruises as they age, and the fading color doesnā€™t have structured black to contrast and frame it.

Hereā€™s some color on dark skin that will age well!
The yellows in this tattoo are very saturated and framed in lots of solid black; even if they fade, the fish will stay nice and vibrant.
Similarly, the white in this tattoo will definitely lighten, but the dark reds and blacks will hold the tattoo together very well.
Tl;dr, have a solid black outline, make sure the colors you pick are darker/more saturated than your own skin, and donā€™t rely too heavily on white. These are basic tattoo principles that can and should be used when deciding on any tattoo, regardless of skintone. Hope it helps!

Good post OP


Good post, OP, and if you ever decide to do another may I please suggest ā€œNOT IN HEBREW IT DOESNā€™Tā€ as a punchline? So much of the Old Testament is HORRIFICALLY translated from the Tanakh, it drives me batty.


WAIT WAIT WHAT DOES IT SAY?????? I NEED TO LIKE,, DESTROY MI MUM FOR BEING REALLY HOMOPHOBIC

Okay, so, strictly speaking, the infamous Leviticus 18:22 does say ā€œforbidden.ā€ Hereā€™s the thing: 

1) The word translated as ā€œforbiddenā€ is ā€œtoevah.ā€ While that translation isnā€™t ā€¦ wrong, itā€™s sort of like saying ā€œMcMansionā€ means ā€œreally big house.ā€ There are a lot of connotations in that word. The specific issue with toevah is that we ā€¦ sort of ā€¦ donā€™t know anymore exactly what it meant. Based on context, it seems likely that the word referred to something ritually forbidden. This part of Torah was written not only as a guide for future generations, but also to say ā€œso, look around, see your neighbors? DONā€™T DO THAT.ā€œ Thus, if we interpret ā€œtoevahā€ to mean something thatā€™s forbidden to do as a ritual before G-d, then the verse says nothing whatsoever about Adam and Steve and their two kids and their dogā€“itā€™s saying you shouldnā€™t have sex with another man in the Temple as a sacrifice.

2) Following the same ā€œthis is ritually forbiddenā€ logic of toevah, this verse may also be interpreted as ā€œdonā€™t do sex magic,ā€ which was a thing in. Like. A lot of fucking cultures at the time.

3) Hebrew is a highly gendered language, and the grammatical gender in this verse is really really weird. One of the ā€œmenā€ in this verse is given female grammar. Why? Who fucking knows, man, this isnā€™t the only grammatical oddity in Torah. (There are also places where G-d is referred to as plural, and also as female.) One suggestion is that this is a way of creating a diminutiveā€“that is, that the verse should be read as ā€œa man should not lie with a boy.ā€ Now, itā€™s worth noting that modern secular scholarship has concluded the written Torah was written down around the 6th century BCE, and most non-Orthodox Jewish scholars are like ā€œyeah, all things considered, that sounds pretty legit.ā€ 

Do you know what else was happening around the 6th century BCE? What laypeople tend to mean when they say ā€œancient Greeceā€ was happening. 

Do you know what happened a lot in that time period in Greece? Dudes forming relationships with younger boys, like ages 10-15, and using them for sex in exchange for financial gifts, mentorship, etc. While we donā€™t know just how young some of these younger boys may have been, we do know some were prepubescent. In light of this, and also something I mentioned under the first pointā€“ā€see your neighbors? DONā€™T DO THAT,ā€ if this verse is interpreted to say ā€œa man should not lie with a boy,ā€ then itā€™s pretty clearly ā€œmy dudes, my fellows, my lads, donā€™t be fucking pedophiles.ā€ 

4) Because of the grammar I mentioned in #3, itā€™s also possible that ā€œshould not lie with a man as with a womanā€ is actually referring to a place, not an abstract personhood: a man shouldnā€™t have sex with another man in a womanā€™s bed. In the time period, a womanā€™s bed was sort of likeā€“that was her place, her safe sanctuary. It was also a ritually holy place where babies were made. By having sex in her bed, youā€™re violating her safe space (and also introducing a man who may not be a male relative, thus forcing her into breaking the laws of modesty). If this verse is read this way, then it should be taken to mean ā€œdonā€™t sexually violate a womanā€™s safety and modesty.ā€5) And as an offshoot of #4, this may be a second verse relating to infidelity. Which womanā€™s bed is any random dude in 600 BCE most likely to have access to? His wifeā€™s. But laws were administered differently based on whether the person they pertained to was slave or free, male or female, and so onā€“thus, a man committing adultery with a woman would be treated differently than man committing adultery with a man (especially because the latter would carry no chance of an illegitimate pregnancy).


So youā€™ll note, there are a lot of ways to read this verse, and only a one-to-one translation with no cultural awareness produces ā€œbeing gay is wrong, all of the timeā€.(Youā€™ll also notice the word ā€œabominationā€ is nowhere to be found. Thatā€™s like ā€¦ a straight-up fiction created for who only knows what reason.)

Good post OP


Good post, OP, and if you ever decide to do another may I please suggest ā€œNOT IN HEBREW IT DOESNā€™Tā€ as a punchline? So much of the Old Testament is HORRIFICALLY translated from the Tanakh, it drives me batty.


WAIT WAIT WHAT DOES IT SAY?????? I NEED TO LIKE,, DESTROY MI MUM FOR BEING REALLY HOMOPHOBIC

Okay, so, strictly speaking, the infamous Leviticus 18:22 does say ā€œforbidden.ā€ Hereā€™s the thing: 

1) The word translated as ā€œforbiddenā€ is ā€œtoevah.ā€ While that translation isnā€™t ā€¦ wrong, itā€™s sort of like saying ā€œMcMansionā€ means ā€œreally big house.ā€ There are a lot of connotations in that word. The specific issue with toevah is that we ā€¦ sort of ā€¦ donā€™t know anymore exactly what it meant. Based on context, it seems likely that the word referred to something ritually forbidden. This part of Torah was written not only as a guide for future generations, but also to say ā€œso, look around, see your neighbors? DONā€™T DO THAT.ā€œ Thus, if we interpret ā€œtoevahā€ to mean something thatā€™s forbidden to do as a ritual before G-d, then the verse says nothing whatsoever about Adam and Steve and their two kids and their dogā€“itā€™s saying you shouldnā€™t have sex with another man in the Temple as a sacrifice.

2) Following the same ā€œthis is ritually forbiddenā€ logic of toevah, this verse may also be interpreted as ā€œdonā€™t do sex magic,ā€ which was a thing in. Like. A lot of fucking cultures at the time.

3) Hebrew is a highly gendered language, and the grammatical gender in this verse is really really weird. One of the ā€œmenā€ in this verse is given female grammar. Why? Who fucking knows, man, this isnā€™t the only grammatical oddity in Torah. (There are also places where G-d is referred to as plural, and also as female.) One suggestion is that this is a way of creating a diminutiveā€“that is, that the verse should be read as ā€œa man should not lie with a boy.ā€ Now, itā€™s worth noting that modern secular scholarship has concluded the written Torah was written down around the 6th century BCE, and most non-Orthodox Jewish scholars are like ā€œyeah, all things considered, that sounds pretty legit.ā€

A CROW TRIED TO GO IN OUR CLASSROOM AND HE HAD A PEN

yes hello i am here to learn geometries

That crow is more prepared than some of my students.

Youā€™ve all just like, completely skipped over the possibility that this crow has seen people using pens in this room, found one, and is trying to return it. Thereā€™s been videos of crows picking up sweet wrappers and stuff and placing them in bins after seeing humans put their litter in bins. I really do believe that this crow is trying to return the pen and that is ADORABLE AS HELL.Ā 

THEY ARE SO SMART I LOVE THEM

Crows are thought to be self aware by some scientists. Its perfectly possible the crow wants to return the pen to humans. Knowing it belongs to humans.

Corvids. Who KNOWS. :)

Another cool crow deal: Once, when trying to assess if crows could reason and use tools, scientists had two crows who didnā€™t know each other each take a wire from a table (one was hooked, one was straight) and try to grab meat from a bottle with it. The crows could see each other, though they had separate bottles. Only the straight wire worked for this, so they hypothesized that if crows could reason, the second trial would have the two crows fighting over the straight wire. The second trial started and, to the surprise of the scientists, the two crows both went for the bent wire, one held it down and the other unbent it. They both got meat out of their bottles. They came to a peaceful solution without verbal communication. Crows are probably smarter than we are.

they still shit all over the place and eat garbage

ok but so do we



@neurodivergent-crow 

Cool facts about crows:
1. Crows understand the concept of gifts.
Thereā€™s a little girl who started feeding the murder by her house and they started bringing her trinkets (cool pebbles, coins, shiny things, bleached animal bones, etc) as a thank you.Ā 
2. Crows remember who has been kind to them and tell other crows about the nice humans.
There are various examples of people who have helped crows and the crows not only come back to say hi, but also bring friends who need help over for the nice human to help.
3. Crows are the only other animal known to make tools in order to make another tool.
4. Crows have been proven to have a sense of self
If you mark them with a coloured dot that they can see and then show them their reflection in a mirror they soon realize that the reflection is them and not another crow.
5. Crows have regional dialects and accents.
They are also able to copy each otherā€™s dialects and accents to fit in if they move to an area where the accent is different.
6. Crows regularly visit their parents after leaving the nest.
They also regularly live with their parents after reaching adulthood to help with raising their younger siblings for up to five years before moving out.



Crows are better than people

WEā€™VE HIT TERMINAL MEME

@caesarianconfection

Iā€™ve saidĀ ā€œI hate thisā€ so many times on this website, and never actually meant it, becauseĀ ā€œI hate thisā€ is just shorthand forĀ ā€˜this is an example of a meme given a twist I wasnā€™t expecting with intent to surpriseā€™. Which is, in of itself, a meme on this site. God damn it.
But thisā€¦ This is something else.
The rapidity of a memeā€™s introduction to its zenith to its decline is so rapid that in ten years, youā€™ll need a damn twenty-page manual to explain this. Itā€™ll be as unfunny and hard to explain as jokes in Shakespeare plays, except even more inexplicable because fuck, at least Shakespeareā€™s jokes are usually about anal or fucking your mother, good wholesome sex jokes we can all get behind.
For the love of fuck, how do you explain loss.jpg? How do you explain gun?

ā€¦.I THOUGHT THIS WAS A YMCA REFERENCE

it is a YMCA reference - thatā€™s one of the 6 memes being represented here
ok let me see if i can break this down easily. YMCA is the easiest place to start - the song itself has become a meme over time with people changing the lyrics to reference other pop cultural events. so YMCA is meme one (1)
this first lyric replacement (ā€take the breadsticks and runā€) is a reference to the tumblr meme ā€˜stuffing breadsticks into my purseā€™. i think everyone remembers that one so i wont bother to explain it. thatā€™s meme two (2)
ā€œman door hand hook car doorā€ is a meme of its own, a creepypasta from i dont remember when. it was a terrible stupid retelling of the genericĀ ā€˜stuck in a car while hook handed man tries to kill usā€™ story so the stupid title caught on for memorability. that in and of itself is meme three (3)
ā€˜gunā€™ isā€¦ yeah i dont know how to explain gun. long story short you add gun to the end of a phrase instead of what you expect the last word to be. its shock funny. its everywhere but its popular to add to ā€œman door hand hook car doorā€ for.. some reason? gun is meme four (4)
and the thing is, this four meme combo is something thats gone around before. meme combos are, itself, a meme. which means taking this meme combo and mixing in another meme actually becomesĀ meme five (5)
which leaves us at loss.jpg. loss.jpg was a terrible bad comic supposed to be about some tragic event, but it was presented so poorly literally no one takes it seriously, and for some reason recreating the four-panel setup has become popular. so thats meme six (6)
(but i need to add that this is the greatest version of loss.jpg i think iā€™ve ever seen. the initialĀ ā€˜young manā€™ lines up with the guy bursting through the door, and the shock memeĀ ā€˜gunā€™ matches the shock scene of the woman in the hospital and idk if OP even thought about that but it makes this just so much better)

I wasnā€™t going to reblog this, but @pagesofkennaā€˜s comprehensive meme-by-meme annotation is a thing of beauty and should be shared.

average tumblr post contains one meme, this post, which contains six, is an outlier and should not be counted

it might also just be a coincidence due to loss.jpgā€™s format but the whole white minimalist four-panel setup is also suspiciously reminiscent of those early 2000ā€™s rage comics

I was getting a political compass vibe too

ā€œMy body, my choiceā€ only makes sense when someone elseā€™s life isnā€™t at stake.

Fun fact: If my younger sister was in a car accident and desperately needed a blood transfusion to live, and I was the only person on Earth who could donate blood to save her, and even though donating blood is a relatively easy, safe, and quick procedure no one can force me to give blood.Ā Yes, even to save the life of a fully grown person, it would be ILLEGAL to FORCE me to donate blood if I didnā€™t want to.
See, we have this concept called ā€œbodily autonomy.ā€ Itā€™s thisā€¦.cultural notion that a personā€™s control over their own body is above all important and must not be infringed upon.Ā 
Like, we canā€™t even take LIFE SAVING organs from CORPSES unless the person whose corpse it is gave consent before their death. Even corpses get bodily autonomy.Ā 
To tell people that they MUST sacrifice their bodily autonomy for 9 months against their will in an incredibly expensive, invasive, difficult process to save what YOU view as another human life (a debatable claim in the early stages of pregnancy when the VAST majority of abortions are performed) is desperately unethical. You canā€™t even ask people to sacrifice bodily autonomy to give up organs they arenā€™t using anymore after they have died.Ā 
Youā€™re asking people who can become pregnant to accept less bodily autonomy than we grant to dead bodies.Ā 

reblogging for commentaryĀ 

But, assuming the mother wasnā€™t raped, the choice to HAVE a baby and risk sacrificing their ā€œbodily autonomyā€ is a choice that the mother made. YOu donā€™t have to have sex with someone. Cases of rape aside, it isnā€™t ethical to say abortion is justified. The unborn baby has rights, too.Ā 

First point: Bodily autonomy can be preserved, even if another life is dependent on it. See again the example about the blood donation.Ā 
And hereā€™s another point: When you say that ā€œrape is the exceptionā€ you betray something FUNDAMENTALLY BROKEN about your own argument.
Because a fetus produced from sexual assault is biologically NO DIFFERENT than a fetus produced from consensual sex. No difference at all.
If one is alive, so is the other. If one is a person, so is the other. If one has a soul, then so does the other. If one is a little blessing that happened for a reason and must be protected, then so is the other.Ā 
When you say that ā€œRape is the exceptionā€ what you betray is this: It isnā€™t about a life. This isnā€™t about the little soul sitting inside some personā€™s womb, because if it was you wouldnā€™t care about HOW it got there, only that it is a little life that needs protecting.
When you say ā€œrape is the exceptionā€ what you say is this: You are treating pregnancy as a punishment. You are PUNISHING people who have had CONSENSUAL SEX but donā€™t want to go through a pregnancy. People who DARED to have consensual sex without the goal of procreation in mind, and this is their ā€œconsequence.ā€Ā 
And that is gross.Ā 

^ THIS. This is this this THIS THIS THIS. THIS!!!!!

This is probablyĀ the strongest and well worded/supported argument for abortion that I have ever read.

Meanwhile, in prehistoric Canadaā€¦..

No no, you donā€™t understand, moose really do get that big. Take it from a Canadian. Iā€™ve seen that bullshit in person. Scary as all heck.

And thatā€™s how people can die if they hit a moose. Seriously, one of our fears when driving in the country is having to deal with this scenario of a moose jumping out in front of the car.

moose are actual legit ice age megafauna; theyve been here since the ice age, they are old as fuck. they also are pretty terrifying and ive echoed this before but i went to wiki and ā€œIn terms of raw numbers, they attack more people thanĀ bearsĀ andĀ wolvesĀ combinedā€ and ā€œĀ In the Americas, moose injure more people than any other wild mammal and, worldwide, only hippopotamuses injure more.ā€
like, fuck off with that

I was dog sitting a dog once who insisted she had to go out in the middle of the night it was an emergency, so I took her out. Suddenly she starts pointing and barking and I look up and can just make out the outline of a HUGE moose. Iā€™ve been accidentally face to face with a black bear and that scared me less than being up close with a moose. Iā€™m 5 foot so imagine staring up at an animal several feet taller than you that is debating charging the dog whoā€™s leash you are holding. I was terrified as I grabbed the dog by her collar to get better control over her and backed up slowly til I was out of line of sight and bolted for the house at a dead run. Did you know most Canadian lake monster stories come from people seeing moose swimming? They are massive animals.

They are massive and they charge. I get so scared when tourists are all ā€œoh yeah, we got out of the car to get a closer look and, yaā€™ll have some mighty impressive animals around here.ā€Yes, yes we do, and they have mighty tired guardian angels because moose can, and do, charge at people.

Someone my mom worked with died hitting a moose on the highway. Their eyes donā€™t reflect light. In the dark they are literally nothing but a big slightly darker shape in the night. Roughly every year in the town I grew up in, a cow (moose) and her calf will wander through downtown. Maybe once or twice. If sheā€™s aggressive enough, the local Mounties will escort her through to keep idiots away.

Iā€™ve definitely talked with people who thought moose were deer-sized or maybe horse-sized and I was like NO YOU DONā€™T EVEN UNDERSTAND MOOSE ARE TERRIFYING
Moose are terrifying, you guys.

I finally live on a province where moose and deer exist.
I do not drive at night in fear of meeting one. If you hit a moose going 90 on a highway, not only is your car trashed, you are probably trashed. Iā€™veĀ seen cars that got wrecked and there seems to be a consensus that at least half the time, the giant fucking beastie just shakes itself off and continues gallumphing along the countryside.

If you fucking hit a moose with your car and their legs go through your windshield, congratulations, you are dead. Massive hooves kicking you to death? Yeah.Ā 
Moose are fucking terrifying. Bull moose wonā€™t fuck with you too much unless you fuck with them, but the time a bull moose casually swaggered his way past 7 year old me when I was sledding literally put me off winter sports for a solid month.Ā 
Momma moose and their babies, though? I legitimately had to call in to work to be like ā€œey yo there is a moose in my driveway and I canā€™t get outā€ AND MY MANAGERS UNDERSTOOD.
Moose. MOOSE.

I have to admit I thought they were like a Canadian deer before this.

The commenter above who claims that mooseā€™s eyes donā€™t reflect light is only partially correct; if you shine a flashlight in a mooseā€™s eyes it will glow like a cat (and then you will probably get killed to death by an annoyed moose) but the reason they are so dangerous to cars at nights is that they are too tall for the headlights to reach. Think about that.

Moose confirmed for actual kaiju.


Kaiju category: Maple. Ā 


Now I kinda want a kaiju movie set in Canada where itā€™s just a moose. Like a regular moose but more aggressive.

For scale, a female african elephant is 7.2-8.5 feet at the shoulder, according to Wikipedia. A moose isĀ 

4.6 ā€“ 6.9 ft. at the shoulder. So instead of thinkingĀ ā€œThis animal is a bit bigger than a deerā€ you can thinkĀ ā€œThis animal is barely smaller than an elephantā€

And they can run up to 40 miles per hour

Cindy:Ā Heyā€¦ can I be a Jew?
Rabbi: No.
Cindy: Can IĀ be a Jew?
Rabbi: No.
Cindy:Ā Can I be a Jew?
Rabbi:Ā You really want this? Sincerely? NotĀ ā€˜cause this oneā€™s trying to blackmail me for something stupid when I was 19 or for broccoli with your dinner? What is this for you?
Cindy:Ā Honestly, I think I found my people. I was raised in a church where I was told to believe and pray. And if I was bad, Iā€™d go to hell. And if I was good, Iā€™d go to heaven. And if Iā€™d ask Jesus, heā€™d forgive me and that was that. And here yā€™all are sayinā€™ ainā€™t no hell. Ainā€™t sure about heaven. And if you do something wrong, you got to figure it out yourself. And as far as Godā€™s concerned, itā€™s your job to keep asking questions and to keep learning and to keep arguing. Itā€™s like a verb. Itā€™s like ā€¦ you do God. And thatā€™s a lot of work, but I think Iā€™m in, as least as far as I can see it. I mean, maybe Iā€™ll learn more and say fuck the whole thing, I mean, but I wanna learn more, and I think I gotta be in it to do that. You knowā€¦ Does that make sense? Shit, did I just talk myself out of it?
Rabbi:Ā Ask me again.
Cindy:Ā Can I be a Jew?
Rabbi:Ā Yes.


I cried so hard during this scene.


First of all, this is beautiful.
Second of all, as a contextual note, the rabbi said no for a reason. In Jewish conversion, one of the steps is that you must be discouraged at least three times. This comes from the story of Ruth, where Naomi told her not to follow her back to the Jewish tribe three times before giving in.
Third of all, this is beautiful.


Adrienne KILLED it in those scenes. I wept with her!
ā€œItā€™s like a verb.ā€ She wants to work on her faith continuously and that was gorgeous and so honest.


THIS WAS SO IMPORTANT DO U UNDERSTAND. We arenā€™t a people who actively convert people. Youā€™ll never see a Jewish person try to convert you. We believe in everyoneā€™s right to believe what they want. But it was so nice to see someone who wasnā€™t raised in it be able to see value in my faith. I have never seen anything like that on tv before  

Not only that?? Its one of the only times Iā€™ve ever seen Judaism The Faith and Religion ever actually articulated on screen. What do we believe? We believe that You Choose To Do God. Thats why weā€™re the Chosen People - because we Chose to Opt In To Doing God this particular way. I have never in my life before seen any form of media EVER express what Jews ACTUALLY BELIEVE ABOUT THE UNIVERSE out loud but OITNB did. And when people ask me? I always throw them here. Because itā€™s dead on. You do God (Jewishly) and you have to choose it. Thatā€™s what we believe. Thatā€™s it. Thats the entire thing. And this is the only time we have EVER had ANY representation and I will cherish it always. And for those of you who didnā€™t see the show? She got to bathe in a mikvah equivalent and convert fully so yes, Cindy is as Jewish as the whitest Ashkenazi Jew. More, because according to the sages, the convert is to be praised for their choice and their dedication. And as such, any children she has will be Jewish too. <3 Love for Cindy. Love to any religious Jews out there who feel unseen in media (youā€™re right, we arenā€™t seen). Love for any converts out there who donā€™t feel Jewish enough (you are - no matter what branch you converted in). Extra love for all my Jews of Color (no addendum - just love to you all period). Stay strong out there yall. Write yourselves into some stories and talk about our faith okay? We deserve to be seen and known, even if we arenā€™t converting. Demystification is part of the fight against antisemitism. 


All of this, but ALSOitā€™s so rare to see black people get to be any other religion of Baptist Christian. Or to even talk about that not all of us believe in God in the way weā€™re been taught. Most of what Iā€™ve learned about Judaism I learned through the Jewish bloggers Iā€™ve found here like @prismatic-bell @realsadjewishhours and @wetwareproblem among others, but even as an agnostic black woman, I was just as happy to see Cindy find her own way, and even happier to hear that they actually did right with the conversion process this time.


And @dancinbutterflyā€™s last line is why, when my rabbi said I should go to rabbinic school, I saidā€¦..no.Rabbi means teacher, and there are a ton of good Jewish teachers of Jews out there. But there arenā€™t so many Jewish teachers of gentiles. Itā€™s why I work at cons under the name Oy Vay Productions. I am like you, except where Iā€™m not, and where Iā€™m not should not have to be frightening or mysterious to you. And then, when someone is all ā€œwell the Jews are a bunch of wealthy lizards,ā€ you can remember me, think of me teaching you not just about anime but about the fact that Jews are just people out here doing how we do, and instead of ā€œthat seems possibly incorrect but I donā€™t know enough about Jews to dispute it,ā€ you can say ā€œthat is not true, I have met and been befriended by a Jew, shared a meal and a class talked, and I know better.ā€I do my teaching by being a loud and proud Jew who is out here doing G-d an living my life. There are plenty of rabbis with skills I could only dream of having. But what I do is just as important to protecting and preserving Am Yisrael.
