Noel: “It’s ok to be androgynous. For a boy to wear makeup, for men to wear dresses and to generally cover everything in glitter.”

when i started writing this comic, there were courses on duolingo for klingon and dothraki, fictional languages that are only spoken by characters on television shows who don’t exist, but the course for yiddish, a language spoken by jews – real, living, breathing people – for generations, didn’t exist until april 2021.

in 2017 a jewish employee at the anne frank museum was asked to put a baseball cap over his yarmulke. yeah, you read that right – an employee who worked in the house anne frank and her family hid for two years was asked to hide his judaism when he came into work. 

1) the amount of time that went into considering this approach, which is a resounding 0.00 seconds

2) the baby's screm - yes it's sad bc the poor lil guy is scared but the way his yells for momma hitch with the guy's running have me lmao ngl

3) the guy either had the incredible good fortune or the foresight to put the baby between himself and momma so he could make a break for it. it was too quick. Too deliberate and almost instinctive. He has done this before.

4) the victory skips and turban twirling.

Genuinely, there's so many series atm that have awesome representation and I have zero desire to watch them cuz the gifs look so.. uncomfortable!?

Sometimes I wish we still were novices, you and I. Still innocent enough to see it all as a gleeman’s tale come true… Still innocent enough to dream of the happy ending to the gleeman’s tale, of living our lives as other women do.
