Pros: I’ll have access to them later because they’re fucking hilarious

i have no interesting story to tell to land myself on your DEI board. i have no universalizing statement of kindness. i have nothing to say about how a Jew is a Jew is a Jew. i have no explanation of the lessons i should have learned by the genocide my great grandparents avoided, only because they had to survive a different one. it's all been said before.

i can tell you the story of how my great grandfather escaped the pogroms by hiding in a wagon. how he made it to America with nothing. I can tell you about the lack of documentation i have of my family's history. I can tell you about the crouton recipe passed down through my family through visual learning. i can tell you we found eight generations of my family history, all through the maternal line (you always know who the mother is). i can tell you they lived in Riga and had yiddish names. I can tell you I have a very American name. I know what my paternal great grandfather's surname was, but I cannot spell it. he changed it after immigration. his first name too. i can tell you my mother was asked if she had horns growing up. i can tell you people misspell her name, make fun of it (it is Hebrew.) I can tell you kids stared at me in middle school when the holocaust was mentioned. I can tell you about the times i experienced what is legally a hate crime in the places my family had to leave. I can tell you why I knock on wood, why I was named for my mother's late grandmother, why I haven't been to a funeral, why my grandma hates tattoos. I can tell you about my experience as a third generation American. I can tell you about my family about Jewish geography about summer camps and community centers and Jewish day school. I can tell you about the first time I was told I was going to hell. I can tell you how sad other kids were when I said I dont celebrate christmas, how they assumed it must be because my parents dont love me. I can tell you how adults act the same way now when given this information. I can tell you how I felt the day 1200 Jews were murdered in ways I knew in my bones. I can tell you that it felt like i was reliving a memory passed to me through the womb.

I was listening to hadestown after I went to see it and liked it a lot!

Nothing honestly. I have a few on my list but it’s been so long since I’ve actually watched any episodes of them that I don’t think I can consider them “currently watching.”

It must be a mystery.
