We’re back again for our 3rd year in a row to highlight body positivity, how it intersects with both fandom and sex-positivity, and to celebrate another devious year to come! Please see below for more information on the body positivity movement.

A girthy stone penis sculpture recently uncovered at an ancient Roman site in Spain measures about 18 inches (46 centimeters) long, which could make it the largest Roman phallus carving ever discovered. The chiseled genitals may have been carved and displayed to ward off bad luck, according to experts.
Archaeologists uncovered the lengthy sculpted shaft at El Higuerón, a site near the town of Nueva Carteya in the Córdoba region of Spain. The Historical Museum of Nueva Carteya, which is leading the excavation of the site, shared the find in an Aug. 19 Facebook post.
El Higuerón dates to the fourth century B.C. and was originally an Iberian settlement before it was overtaken and built upon by the Romans, who conquered the region in 206 B.C. Researchers suspect that the eye-catching penis artwork was carved into a stone that was once proudly displayed at the base of a tower built by the Romans. Read more.

Attention Snapedom! The holiday season is upon us and we’re inviting everyone to partake in the Snolidays 2022 Fest!
A perfect chance to revel in headcanons, have Severus demonstrate your favourite traditions, and share the holiday spirit with all of us! Winter holidays of all religions and nations are welcome and encouraged!
This year, we are doing it a little differently by also doing a week for New Year’s Eve.
Therefore, the event will occur between 12-31 December.
How it works:
Art, writing, headcanons, meta – we’d love to share all of your creations with the rest of the fandom.
In order to help spark the inspiration, we’ve chosen a theme for each of the three weeks. We’ve also included 7 prompts for each week. You can combine several of them in one piece, skip the ones that don’t inspire you, or even create multiple works for a single prompt!
Don’t worry about tackling the themes in order, or about being late. In fact, if you have older winter-related works you’d like to show the Snapedom again, go ahead and send them in!
Either submit the post to our blog, or tag your own post using #snolidays2022 and #snapecelebration.
Don’t be shy about sending us any questions or requests you might have regarding the event.
Happy Holidays!
Are you a gentile university professor that wants to accommodate your Jewish students?
Great! You're a rare lot, unfortunately. Here are few things you need to know:
-Shabbat begins at sundown on Friday and ends at nightfall on Saturday night. That means that in the Winter, you may have some Jewish students in your late afternoon courses that might have to miss class or leave early because of Shabbat starting early.
-Contrary to popular belief, Shabbat doesn't end at sundown Saturday night. It ends at nightfall, which is usually an hour *after* sunset. This means that in the Summer, Shabbat ends very late. Don't expect students to answer any email or correspondence you send them on Saturday.
-Schoolwork is work. Don't expect your Jewish students to have to complete any schoolwork on Shabbat or holidays. I don't care how easy you think it is, many Jews won't even touch a pencil on Shabbat or a holiday.
-Judeochristian beliefs aren't a thing. Don't call the King James Bible or any other Christian Bible a "foundation of Jewish belief". We have the Tanakh. Not the Bible. Adding onto that, don't assume Christian interpretations of the Bible hold true to Jewish beliefs. 99% of the time you'll be wrong.
-You do not know more about Judaism than Jewish people, and if a Jew says something you do or say is antisemitic, listen to them and correct yourself.
-Don't try to Anglicize your Jewish students' Jewish names. It doesn't matter how hard you think it is to pronounce, make an effort.
-The word is "antisemitism", not "anti-semitism."
-If you offer food in class, don't pressure your Jewish students to eat it. They might keep kosher, and are trying their best to be polite and discreet, but by making a scene over them not eating the pizza you brought, you are alienating them. They shouldn't have to give a reason to you.
-You don't know a Jewish student's level of observance based on their behaviour or appearance. Additionally, many Jewish students become more observant in university, and it's a journey. If your Jewish student didn't take off for a holiday last year, and takes off this year, don't accuse them of "slacking off".
-Don't make sweeping statements about Judaism. And if you do and a Jewish student calls you out on them, listen to them.
-Debate about the Holocaust isn't a "fun exercise".
My new mission in life is to impart this wisdom to as many people as possible
IT'S ALSO USEFUL IF YOU HAVE TMJ DISORDER
in both cases: always start on the lowest setting and wrapped in something soft!! if it hurts, stop!!
But, re: sinuses: look up a diagram of where they are, and when a spot feels particularly good or is particularly congested, hold it there longer. Definitely keep tissues handy for when it drains. Also it can help if your sinuses hurt like fuck but aren't actually congested (which happened when I had covid), but the effect doesn't last long.
Re: TMJ disorder: You can just push it against the joint, obviously; if your vibe has a small contact point you can REALLY dig in there (but again: stop if it hurts). But don't forget the whole area around the joint, around your ears, and up your scalp. There's a lot of muscles that tighten when your jaw is tight/stiff/in pain. Be especially careful when on a spot that's just skin over a bone without a lot of padding.
vibrators can also help if you have restless legs syndrome! Especially ones with fancy pulse patterns. When my RLS is severe I tuck them behind my knees or wherever & can finally lie still & sleep. You might need to wrap them in fabric to avoid skin irritation ymmv. There was even a paper published somewhere called "counter stimulatory devices for RLS" that was hilariously vague about saying the word "vibrator"
Once again adding also useful if you have dystonia or any kind of muscle spasticity. I have cervical dystonia (neck spasms) and dystonia in my left leg that's essentially like persistent Charley horse cramps from my neuromuscular issues and bought a Hitachi expressly for this purpose lol
A vibrator has been recommended to me to unblock clogged milk ducts for anyone that may apply to
I learned about the sinus thing and immediately bought a vibrator for that purpose. And yes, it DOES help with sinus headaches.

“If not for the hastily cast silencing charm, all of Hogwarts would have heard the anguished wail that ripped from the man’s throat. A sound so visceral in it’s nature, that Hogwarts herself being the only witness to the cries- her very foundation shook, her stone walls groaning in protest as she too grieved a long side him, as a conviction, a perception built on old wounds not yet healed, shattered before the man’s feet. Harry, was not James.” -Snape seeing the parallels between him and Harry.
