I’ve been thinking a lot about compassion in Judaism, and being kind. In that light, I would like everyone to know that my current favorite Jewish supernatural headcanon is that, instead of driving vampires away with crosses or stakes through the heart, we say the Mourner’s Kaddish for them. I mean, that’s just so adorable. You see this threatening undead creature, and instead of yelling murder, you feel bad for them, and you mourn for them. Imagine being a vampire at the receiving end of that, having been chased away for years and years and told you’re a monster when you come across someone who sees you and your existence and accepts that you’re in a pretty bad place and offers help in the best way they can. I’m actually tearing up about this a little. If someone adds to this post I’ll love them forever.

It doesn’t work for zombies.

This is one of the hardest things she learns, in the business.  Saying the Mourner’s Kaddish will slow a vampire, to stare at you with wide shocked eyes (and once, memorably, to weep blood-tinged tears), unable or unwilling to lift a hand against you.  It will calm a dybbuk, enough to make it stop whatever destruction it’s begun, and almost always enough to start a conversation about why it clings so desperately to the world of the living, what it’s left undone, how it can be freed to move on.  You have died, the Kaddish says, and we mourn you as we would mourn our own dead, because someone must.

But there is no soul and no mind left in a zombie, no vestige of the self it once was, nothing left for the Kaddish to speak to.

She says it anyway, with every head-shot, with every flung grenade.

Not because she still hopes one might hear her, but because they are dead, and the dead should be mourned.

Well, I love you forever now.

GET YOUR DIRTY DISHES OUT OF YOUR ROOM I SEE THOSE MUGS YOU GOT FOOD WRAPPERS AND STUFF ON YOUR DESK i swear

CLEAN YOUR DESK THAT IS YOUR MOST POWERFUL SPACE

BUT IF YOU DO CLEAN YOUR SPACE YOU WILL FEEL A LOT BETTER SO IF YOU CAN PLEASE DO IT OK GOODBYE

Nobody asked, but I'll be honest here. The Lato profile pic is because I rushed making this blog and haven't changed it aesthetically since. Also, I love the Lato unironically.

The WHAT now? I missed the devstream 😭

Edit: I seem to be very out of the loop apparently

Bit of an explanation: I got pretty burnt out before Angels of the Zariman so I just did the quest without looking into what all came with it and I've just now been very slowly getting back to Warframe. I don't even have a Dormizone set up...

I have been hyperfixating on Warframe for the past two weeks and now have max rank with the Holdfasts and every incarnon weapon.

Give me my Lato, DE

At long last, my birthright has been claimed

in the usa, more ppl than you would think hunt and eat sparrows because they're invasive + not protected by law — they're just as edible as any other bird! im from a relatively poor hunting family, so it was a good, ethical, and easy source of food when things got rough. they don't have a lot of meat on them, but it varies from bird to bird. eating wild sparrow can be unsafe, of course; they could have diseases or whatever, obviously. some people even raise them for food, but i'm not sure how well that works out, because we never did it. (we also used to clean and sell the skulls if they weren't damaged!)

Oh yeah, I grew up in the South where hunting ‘pest’ species is pretty common and I knew people who would eat doves, starlings, etc. Does not appeal to me but I totally vouch for hunting invasive species if they’re proving to be detrimental. I personally just find them to be too cute, albeit deeply evil.
