me, the eldest sibling in a fairy tale: hey idiots, watch me own the hell out of the Devil. I’m gonna be so good at it
me, ten days later, draped over my youngest sibling’s shoulder like a sack of potatoes as they saunter out of Hell: I will admit that mistakes were made.
Annual Thanksgiving Reminder: you are under no obligation whatsoever to spend holidays with family who causes you stress or unhappiness
I recognize personal circumstances unfortunately don’t always allow this to be true in practice. For those of you forced to spend the holidays in less than harmonious situations: please know this marks one more year closer to freedom. I promise you are not alone in this, and Your may not be able to see your online family & friends at the table, but we are here nonetheless.
hey my dudes I managed to escape this year and it feels SO GOOD
Best moments of my very very Jewish family vacation
– my 8 year old cousin running around flapping her arms like a duck screaming “farQUACKte”
– me sitting down with my grandma and showing her my art for my comic and her telling me how much she loved my use of Jewish characters and culture
– my cousin warning me there was a wasp (as in the bug) in the house so I pointed at my dad, the only WASP on the trip, and asked “is it over there”
– my grandpa: so do you consider yourself religious
me: yes
grandpa, who promised our rabbis that he’d show up to at least five services a year just bc he wanted to prove he can do it, and holds up fingers for however many he’s been to so far whenever he sees the rabbis: I don’t see you going to as many services as I do
– my sister just got her learners permit and whenever she drives with our grandparents in the car they call her a meshugenah at least once
– my grandpa laughing after I told him the Extremely White Goy name of the boy in my history class who wouldn’t stop calling my Magen David a “jew star”
– “should I buy this hat” “no it looks like a fucking hamentashen”
