I've decided that if I ever have my own house/apartment and a stable source of income I'm gonna start collecting CDs again. We used to have a ton when I was a kid (because how else would we get music lmao) but joy I get from seeing my SMFS one and the audiobook CDs I got is just. Idk. I like it.
Scouring eBay for a Folie album with pavlove to begin the collection. Why are they all in Great Britain and either $6 or $86. What's up with that
Loving reminder from your land history auntie:
North American golf courses have had 50-100 years of arsenic and mercury based fungicide and herbicides applied to their soils.
Do not eat anything that has been grown on a golf course or downstream from a golf course. I know it sounds cool and radical, but you are too valuable to poison yourself with heavy metals.
Protect each other, turn your local golf course into a pollinator garden, not a sex forest or community garden.
Grow sunflowers on your poisoned land, for at least five years if not a decade. Do not eat the seeds. Collect the long stalks and treat them like nuclear waste. The sunflower stalks will remove the heavy metals from the soil.
Test your soil before growing food!!!

Here's a fun random question: Is there such a thing as a secular Jew?
Like, we have secular Christians who do the bare minimum to call themselves a Christian and participate in Christian holidays. Are there Jews that do that? Like maybe they were born into the faith and participate in the culture but they aren't like. Super religious about it all and if they miss something, it's not a big deal for them?
oh absolutely. there are some jews who will eat a bacon cheeseburger then fast all day with their family on yom kippur then not speak another word of hebrew till passover. but i think for jews it’s less abt doing the bare minimum to still be considered a jew bc judaism is a tribe, and more abt spending important days with their family or connecting with their culture.
and like obligatory 2 jews 3000 opinions and i’m not the Ultimate Authority on judaism, but the thing that’s different imo abt judaism vs christianity (at least western christianity) is that christianity is a faith-based religion. generally, if you don’t align with christian theology, or at least say “yeah ok jesus sure”, you are by definition not a christian. for jews, there’s multiple different axes on which jews can interact with judaism, but the two that are probably the most helpful to gentiles in understanding the jewish people’s complex and varied relationships to judaism: religiosity and observance.
religiosity is about what you believe. do you think god exists? what is god? what are your beliefs about creation? how do you interact with jewish spirituality? and honestly, you could probably even break religiosity and spirituality into two different categories.
observance is about what you do. do you abstain from eating pork and shellfish? do you light candles every friday night? do you attend synagogue regularly? do you just go on yom kippur? do you wear a kippah or tichel?
to a lot of people who aren’t jewish or aren’t familiar with judaism, they might think that if someone is religious then they’re obviously observant, and if they aren’t religious then obviously they aren’t observant. but you will meet jews who keep fully kosher, light candles every single friday, observe even the most minor fasts, celebrate all the holidays, and think the notion of god is bullshit and saying the shema is just a way they connect with their ancestors. you’ll also meet jews who haven’t lit candles since they moved out of their parents’ house, eat bacon for breakfast, only go to synagogue on yom kippur, and believe that god created the universe and calls the jewish people to heal the world through good deeds and charity. you’ll meet jews who are deeply spiritual but don’t believe in god. you’ll meet jews who go to synagogue every saturday morning but don’t know a lick of hebrew. and that’s the coolest thing about judaism for me is that there are a shit ton of rules that you can study for years and years and you still don’t have to follow a single one to be jewish if you’re already part of the tribe.
The answer is great, but the framing of the question is entirely wrong.
Secular/religious is a Christian distinction.
Judaism is about orthopraxy, not orthodoxy, so there’s not really any such thing as a “secular Jew” any more than there’s any such thing as a “religious Jew.” (Jews may use those terms, because we live in a Christian society and that’s the language we have, but it’s not a great fit.)
If a Jew is practicing Jewish customs, they’re doing Judaism. The asker is like “what if they do Jewish things but aren’t like super-religious about it?” which is asking about *belief.* It’s basically “Are there Jews who practice some Jewish customs but don’t believe in any religious reasons behind them?”
But “religious belief” isn’t a key component of Jewish practice. (Kavanah, intent, is but that’s not necessarily “religious” by Christian standards.)
Whether you’re an atheist Jew keeping kosher for ethical or environmental reasons or just because it’s a way to be engaged with your ancestral culture and practice, or an Orthodox Jew who keeps kosher because it’s a mitzvah, end of story, you’re doing Judaism, full stop.
Jewish practice doesn’t fit into Christian frameworks.

the healing tour
pete's heaven iowa speech / patrick seeing the crowd light up after playing spotlight (oh nostalgia) / playing favorite record as a surprise song / pete smiling and singing along to the kintsugi kid (ten years) / patrick covering leonard cohen's hallelujah / pete's speech about found family in l.a. / patrick forgetting the lyrics to 27 and the audience screaming them instead / patrick smiling during saturday / patrick hugging joe on his first night back / playing the kids aren't alright as a surprise song
it is honestly insane to think about how much of fobs discography they were just. neglecting and ignoring for so long likely out of fear of negative reaction and rejection from their crowds. like, genuinely for a decade they only ever played the singles from each album, and then Maybe a few more off whatever album they were touring for, and nothing more. at once point they eventually introduced disloyal order, but otherwise it remained Very predictable for a DECADE. it is so blatantly obvious how afraid they were to shake things up, how careful they were being to play ones they Knew people liked to not get a negative reaction. and then by chance patrick mentioned how it would be cool to play headfirst slide again, and then they Did, and fans reacted so incredibly positively that it. it opened a whole new world of healing and song possibilities to them where they can now fully embrace their entire discography, every nook and cranny of it, without fear. since this tour started they have already played roughly half (53% so far to be exact) of their entire discog, when before on a tour they’d Maybe play a quarter of it. and that growth and healing is so beautiful and powerful to see unfold before our eyes. not to mention that it makes me so incredibly happy to see Them so happy and free after so long of holding themselves back ;__;
pete singing along to "im the invisible man" but like.. it's so... you see me when we're sitting in the dark and you looked inside my darkness and found my glow. you get it? you get it?
