gossamer wings

You made it to the end of this year and I am proud of you. Don't be so hard on yourself, please.

anyway!! if you’re a gentile wishing you received more education on Judaism in your school system, i would recommend checking out jewfaq.org. it’s free and a great introductory resource, even if the design looks a little dated 

this also goes for Jews who did not receive a Jewish education or did not receive as much Jewish education as they would have liked. you are not a “bad Jew” for not knowing things about Judaism/Jewishness, and you have a right to know more about your roots.

i’m kicking myself for not putting myjewishlearning.com on this post, and think both websites are extremely valuable (with somewhat different viewpoints). i’d love if people would reblog this version of the post with both links but suspect the cat may be out of the bag at this point

He/him, they/them and trans lesbians!!!! I love you!!! Have a good day!!!!!!

remember the last time you thought to yourself, this is the best day of my life? you will have days like that again. days where you’re calm and radiating light, where your heart is full of love, where you feel like you will be just fine, despite everything you had to go through. on days like that you’ll know the truth, not the lies that your negative emotions tell you. I hope you have a day like that soon.

When will red velvet finally come back…is this how wives used to feel when their husbands went to war….the dinner’s getting cold… the kids are crying… and the affair with a slightly younger colleague isn’t hitting the same anymore  

i imagine the people i love as lights, and if i looked at a map i’d see the glowing, no matter the distance between me and them. the world feels kinder that way. a little softer. less like it’s trying to hurt you. someone somewhere feels something when they hear your name. love is everywhere around us even when we don’t know it. i promise. when someone you love ends up far way from you, the love they have for you is brightening up wherever they are in the world. and somewhere deep down, you feel it. even miles away. even time zones away.
