What to expect: memes, feminism/social justice, cute dogs & guinea pigs, Youtubers, My fave TV shows:
Degrassi, This is Us, Good Trouble, The Fosters, Teen Wolf, Glee, Community, Jane the Virgin, Nathan For You, Portlandia, Andi Mack, The Good Place, Riverdale, Dead to Me, Sex Education, Black Mirror, ATLA/LOK, Freaks & Geeks
Just appreciating these two kings and their reactions to the person they love dating someone else. Even though they are unpopular and not endgame, I love them and rooted for them. š„°ā¤ļø
Purim: They tried to kill us, we survived. Letās tell the story, wear silly costumes, and get wasted. (Optional: have a carnival or a play!)
Passover: They enslaved us, God freed us. Remember this via a big ceremony/feast and then donāt eat bread for a week. This is a big one; youāre going to have to clean your house and host all your relatives.
Tu B'Shevat: Itās Earth Day, letās eat some fruit.
Simchas Torah: We read the entire Torah every year, and we got to the end! Letās have a dance party and then start all over again!
Tisha B'Av: They destroyed our temples. That sucked.
Rosh HaShanah: Happy New Year! Itās time to ask (and grant) forgiveness for the wrongs done in the past year, pledge to do better, and wish for a sweet new year. And go to synagogue for HOURS.
Yom Kippur: Rosh HaShanahās somber counterpart. God decides on this day your fate for the next year. Repent your sins, hope for forgiveness, and fast. (And go to synagogue for HOURS.)
Yom HaShoah: Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Sukkot: Harvest festival! Sleep in a hut under the stars.
Shemini Atzeret: Man, I donāt even know?
Shavuot: God gave us the Torah! That was pretty nice of him.
Chanukah: They busted up our temple and tried to forcibly convert us. We responded with guerilla warfare. Letās eat some fried food. Candles!
So basically the entire Jewish holiday calendar is giving the middle finger to death and high-fiving, with or without various combinations of prayer and foods.
Yup. Or as we say, āThey tried to kill us, we survived, letās eat.ā
thank you for the descās bcs they are beautiful and i am now educated
A handy table for everyone:
Yāall have no idea how happy it makes me to see my goyim followers reblogging this. Really. It means the world to me.
Oh SWEET, a table!
Every time this goes around I am delighted anew that one of the columns is āTrees!ā
Toni and Cheryl stayed together. Moved out west together. They settled in Oakland Hills in a craftsman house, where they lived as artists and activists. And they had a son, Dale, named after Riverdale of course. ā RIVERDALE | S07E20, Goodbye Riverdale
Jurassic World did the Avatar thing where it made a gajillion dollars and left no cultural footprint whatsoever. Name your favorite Jurassic World character. What was your favorite line. It evaporated despite everyone seeing it.
WRONG fav character was the extra that ran away from the pterodactyls with two margheritas in hand
So, I went into this guyās Wikipedia page, because he looked familiar. And thereās this bigĀ āControversiesā section, so I was preparing myself to read that even the margaritas/pterodactyls guy has sexually assaulted someone. But it turns out that he hasnāt. However, he:
- Has been sued for copyright infringement for aĀ āblasphemousā musical rendition of a monologue from the 1950s
- He was on a plane with U2ā²s Bono and his family, and the plane was shot by the Jamaican police, who believed they were smuggling marijuana. He wrote a song about the incident.
- Heās actually a singer, and his better known song in called MARGARITAVILLE. He also owns the Margaritaville Cafe restaurant chain. And has licensed Margaritaville Tequila, Margaritaville Footwear, and a Margaritaville Foods. He owns the Margaritaville Casino, has released a āMargaritaville Onlineā game, and he wrote and starred in a musical called āEscape to Margaritavilleā
- He also wrote a song calledĀ āMath Suksā, which was condemned by theĀ US National Council of Teachers of Mathematics for its alleged negative effect on childrenās education.Ā
- He was thrown out of a basketball game he was watching for using blasphemous language in front of kids.
- And he was detained by French customs for allegedly carrying over 100 pills of ecstasy. Although he was released after paying a fine, and, according to him, the pills were a B-vitamin supplement.
So, yeah, that was refreshing controversies section-wise, but now I donāt know what to do with all that information.
Maybe its my age, but iām a little concerned that the fact he is a singer and wrote Margaritaville wasnāt prior knowledge and is considered a controversy

Beach, booze, Buffett.
Jimmy Buffett plays the margarita guy in Jurassic World because his most famous song is āMargaritavilleā and this is therefore hilarious, I thought
I think that it is actually really awesome to watch people discover a part of pop culture that you believed was ubiquitous. Like we donāt know! Is this user young? Are they perhaps not American? Are they neither of those but just one of those people who exists a little to the left of popular society? I am aware of Jimmy Buffet but I have only ever heard the BNL pisstake of Margaritaville and I couldnāt pick him out of a lineup of 1.
Itās like one time when I was 21 or so, a friend of mine who was 17 or 18 told me he found āa great old bandā in his stepdadās CD collection called Skunk Anansie and I was just faced with the extent to which the things we get exposed to vary so wildly.
āhe wrote a songā
seriously? Bars have events where they play his entire music career and it lasts until the bar has to close, without repeating.
They usually decorate the bar to look like a tropical beach. If they trust their regulars theyāll even dump some sand in the corner with a plastic palm tree for pictures.
I prefer Pave Paradise and Put Up a Parking Lot but heās got some jams.
