me on kazoo that sounds like drugs

You know, that's a funny thing. It's a thought that came to me from Harry Potter, that really nowadays getting mail is not too interesting. Since we have better and quicker ways to communicate, no human will send you anything in the mail. So you only receive bills in it, really. Lots of things that are important, some could've been an email, some are also sent by emails, but none of which is exciting. There has never been once in my life I was told I got mail that I had a reason to be excited about it.

The exception is getting packages. The advent of the Internet, besides killing private mail, created the possibility of ordering things from far away and receiving packages you bought and sent to yourself, essentially. And by happenstance, I am currently waiting for a package from abroad. However, it's not going to arrive in a week at least, because this is how things work nowadays. Which, if we're being honest, is more reliable than sending a letter a century ago, probably.

So. I already noted in this post that due to oh so many issues with applying Judaism to Eridians. This is the case here as well. I believe at least one reblog there noted that Tefillin Shel Rosh will also be a problem. I don't know if that's the issue they had in mind there, but the placing of the Tefillin on the head is based on the eyes. So naturally, this whole situation is impossible.

Now, however, I think we can solve the problems with each other: the Tefillin on the head should be right in the middle between the arm with the Tefillin on the arm and the arm to its right. The knot should be right above the arm directly opposite to those two. This way, it at least looks like the Eridian has Tefillin on their left arm, which is the default for fully ambidextrous people, I believe. Though if an Eridian has an arm they use for writing, it's preferable they put Tefillin on the arm to its left.
