Reverse Hallmark movie where a culturally Christian woman who’s struggling to make ends meet to support her deadbeat conservative husband delivers Chinese food to a pretty Jewish woman on Christmas Eve. And they fall in love and she converts and they get married under the chuppah on the following year’s Christmas Day. And it becomes their lesbian anniversary and they never celebrate Christmas again. Is this anything

It's something I desperately want, so yes.

Ruth Gordon Schnapp was Jewish.

people will really come into kink spaces and say you can't forcefem women like there wasn't a feature length movie about an elderly gay man forcefemming a woman as part of scheme to thwart an elaborate assassination attempt before the killer even determined their target

What... What movie is this.

i was trying so hard to remember the nonexistent assassination subplot in My Fair Lady

Okay but in his defense when he did that he didn’t realize it included Esther, who is hot.

“I didn’t realize my evil vizier would try to kill MY wife”

hey so you actually cannot meaningfully separate jewish ethnicity from jewish religion. yes there are non-religious jews but even the secular aspects of our culture are inextricably linked to our spirituality, ritual practices, and mythology. you cannot claim to support jews if that support ends the minute we express a connection to our ancestral customs.

maidens if you are going to flee dramatically from my castle in the middle of the night once i reveal my true nature to you please leave your candelabra on the little ledge by the portcullis we are running out of them

starting to think these maidens are stumbling in soaked through from the rain just to steal my beautiful gowns and homewear are any of you actually lost

At the checkout in Home Goods loading the belt with nothing but candelabras in all shapes & sizes while the cashier watches sympathetically and asks if it’s the maidens again

like if a Jewish person is telling you you’re being antisemitic and your response is “I bet they’re a Zionist” then you are probably antisemitic sry

Anyway adults saying “I don’t know isn’t an answer” is part of the reason I learned to lie and bluff so well.

Really though, what was that about? I don’t know is a valid answer. It communicates very clearly that the child cannot answer your question, and therefore maybe needs more help understanding the question/situation. Why do you try and push them to give an answer they don’t have? That stresses them out and it makes them feel like they’re being punished for not knowing something.

i thought i was the only one with an “i don’t know” problem because my parents made it seem it was the strangest and also most horrible thing in the world. i genuinely didn’t know and they got angry and that only blocked my thoughts more which meant i didn’t know the answer to anything else.

Also “I don’t know” is a commonly used sentence for children with ADHD/Autism. We DON’T know why we can’t do our homework. We DON’T know why we can’t eat certain foods sometimes. We DON’T know why we forgot to do a chore. It’s really distressing when you genuinely don’t know and people think you’re just lying or indifferent

And honestly even as an adult, saying “I don’t know” is the proper choice sometimes because it also sets the example that sometimes not knowing a certain thing is normal. Not learning to accept when you don’t know something stunts growth.
