And the award for 'Best Jewish Thing Inserted Into a Non-Jewish Thing in Media' goes to Sophie Devereaux (who is played by Jewish actress Gina Bellman), for calling a character "Gefilte Fish" instead of the nickname he gave himself ("The Mako"), in the Leverage episode "The Boiler Room Job" (S04E08).
the politicians that claim lobbying from specific Jewish group is “anti-democracy” while accepting lobbying money from other PACs are lying to you. they are getting kickbacks and scapegoating American Jews for behavior they are currently benefiting from.
#i think this is that thing where 19th century authors had to contrive a series of events for the manuscript to “appear” in their possession #complete with justifiable narrator and with total disregard for the rest of ways the rest of the text break reality #“yes it is entirely possible that a guy was briefly in another world and made it back here to give me his journal before leaving entirely” #“don't think too hard about it” (via @flameintheblacknight)
Say what you will about 19th Century literary critics' inexplicable hate-boner for the third-person omniscient perspective, but the lengths that 19th Century authors often went to in order to avoid getting CinemaSins dinged for failing to adequately contextualise how the narrator could possibly know all this are frequently the funniest stuff I've ever read.
Victorian-style story with two narrators who appear to be physically present but nobody else acknowledges them, nor do they appear to be aware of each other, and then they're eventually revealed to be an angel and a demon who were trying to invisibly watch and/or interfere with the events of the story. When they finally do notice each other, their ensuing scuffles as they try to sabotage each other nearly cause them to miss important plot points.

thinking america is not a real place with its own dialects and culture etc is not woke btw it is so often just ancient xenophobic old world shit from people who think those things solely because this is a melting pot and people can freely become "american" regardless of their ethnicity or previous/concurrent nationality. old world countries find this disgusting, corrupt and ridiculous because they are racist and cannot imagine "allowing" someone of a different ethnicity or nationality to become truly nationalized in their country
Anyone else remember when some Brits were trying to claim that curry was a British dish? Like created in England? Because they just assumed it must be since it's in England? And couldn't understand why people were going, "No, it's Indian. From India. Which your country did some horrid shit to."
But they don't want to give India credit for any of the things they consider culturally theirs.
Meanwhile in the US, we go out for "Indian food" or "Vietnamese food" or "Mexican food" or "Chinese food" or "Italian food" and I'm not saying people don't get weird about it sometimes, but we know why it's in our country. Because immigrants showed up with good fucking recipes and were willing to share. And sometimes they even Americanized them. Fettuccini Alfredo is American-Italian, not Italian. Cashew Chicken is American-Chinese, not Chinese. One of the greatest things that has ever happened to tacos, in my personal estimation, is the use of kimchi instead of lettuce. And lettuce on tacos is an American thing and then Korean immigrants improved on it.
Hell, I could probably go to a state fair right now and get someone to make me a deep fried taco on a stick full of pork belly and kimchi and cheese and salsa, and it would keep me full for three days and taste like heaven and could exist because of the acceptance of new Americans into America.
We have a culture. And it is rich and fun and deep and silly and delicious because a lot of us do actually love being a nation of immigrants and welcoming new people to our table.
Regardless of how you feel about Dawn, it is undeniably impressive how quickly the writers managed to integrate her into Buffy's life. By the time we reach No Place Like Home, Dawn has only been around for four episodes, but the reveal to Buffy of her true nature still hits like a massive revelation. SMG manages to successfully play the pain and horror of discovering that her life with her sister has been artificially constructed. Which could've easily come across as fake and hokey given that Dawn's history in the show, and her history with Buffy, has been artificially constructed by the writers. SMG deserves credit for that, but so do the writers. They hit the "annoying little sibling" note a lot (which might have contributed to some of the fan dislike of Dawn to be honest) but it really helped to solidify their relationship and make it feel real (so that they can take it away a few episodes later. Buffy does that).
Made this post about 15 minutes after the repair guy who fixed the pump on my dishwasher packed up his tools and left, as the dishwasher was whirring along doing my dishes from that morning.
He said the exact same thing, which I did not know before that, so spreading this knowledge.

so ive been meaning to do this poll for a while because my hypothesis is that seattle is the most Tumblr city, likely in the entire world. tumblr has a huge american majority userbase obviously, but just for comparison going forward, only 0.22% of the american population lives in seattle. as of this reblog, this poll is showing 4% of respondents are seattleites. given, this isnt scientific at all, because my blog just has a lot of seattle connections and seattle followers, but it's still an impressive bias
“I want you to do this with me for one month. One month. Write 10 observations a week and by the end of four weeks, you will have an answer. Because when someone writes about the rustic gutter and the water pouring through it onto the muddy grass, the real pours into the room. And it’s thrilling. We’re all enlivened by it. We don’t have to find more than the rustic gutter and the muddy grass and the pouring cold water.”
— Marie Howe, Boston University’s 2016 Theopoetics Conference (via mothersofmyheart)
I ask my students every week to write 10 observations of the actual world. It’s very hard for them.
Ms. Tippett:
Really?
Ms. Howe:
They really find it hard.
Ms. Tippett:
What do you mean? What is the assignment? 10 observations of their actual world?
Ms. Howe:
Just tell me what you saw this morning like in two lines. I saw a water glass on a brown tablecloth, and the light came through it in three places. No metaphor. And to resist metaphor is very difficult because you have to actually endure the thing itself, which hurts us for some reason.
Ms. Tippett:
It does.
Ms. Howe:
It hurts us.
Ms. Tippett:
You naming something.
Ms. Howe:
We want to say, “It was like this; it was like that.” We want to look away. And to be with a glass of water or to be with anything — and then they say, “Well, there’s nothing important enough.” And that’s whole thing. It’s the point.
Ms. Howe:
It’s the this, right?
Ms. Howe:
Right, the this, whatever. And then they say, “Oh, I saw a lot of people who really want” — and, “No, no, no. No abstractions, no interpretations.” But then this amazing thing happens, Krista. The fourth week or so, they come in and clinkety, clank, clank, clank, onto the table pours all this stuff. And it so thrilling. I mean, it is thrilling. Everybody can feel it. Everyone is just like, “Wow.” The slice of apple, and then that gleam of the knife, and the sound of the trashcan closing, and the maple tree outside, and the blue jay. I mean, it almost comes clanking into the room. And it’s just amazing.
Ms. Tippett:
In some basic level, what they’ve done is just engage with their senses.
Ms. Howe:
Yeah, and have been present out of their minds and just noticing what’s around them, which is — we don’t do. And again, not to compare it to anything. They’re not allowed. And that’s very hard for them. And then on the fifth or sixth week, I say, “OK, use metaphors.” And they don’t want to. They don’t know how. They’re like, “Why would I? Why would I compare that to anything when it’s itself?” Exactly. Good question.
So then you think, why the necessity of a metaphor? Why do you have to use a metaphor now? Not just to do it to avoid it, but to do it to make it more there. And it’s very interesting.
The words and silences we live by. The rituals that sustain us. The poetry of ordinary time.
