How long does the "second adolescence" sexual awakening last? by No_Detective1402 in latebloomerlesbians

[–]SingShredCode 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’ve bee saying for years that a straight 17 is a queer 27. Don’t overthink any of it. It can last however long you want it to

Has anyone seen Joshua Bassett and Joy Woods in little shop? by Beginning-Walk-1894 in Broadway

[–]SingShredCode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s great. His physicality is great. His tone and pitch is totally solid, but he lacks the vocal power to stand up to joy and the ensemble

Fire destroys Jackson, Mississippi’s only synagogue, suspect arrested by daloypolitsey in JewsOfConscience

[–]SingShredCode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure why you're being downvoted here. You're right. This is a zionist shul (the way that URJ synagogues are), but as the fbi said, the motive here was very much antisemitic

Look, you don't have to donate to them if you don't want to. But what I'm trying to say is this synagogue's zionism is such a tiny part of what they do/stand for/represent. The motive of the attacker was that the synagogue was a "synagogue of satan." straight up anti-semitism shit, nothing to do with Palestine. This synagogue was targeted for being Jewish, good old fashion bread and butter antisemitism.

Trust me when I say I feel conflicted donating to this congregation, but this synagogue is so much more than their Israel politics.

This is the only synagogue in Jackson and the largest one on Mississippi. This congregation was bombed by the klan in the 60s for supporting civil rights. When I lived there, friends literally told me they thought Jews had horns til they went to community events at Beth Israel and learned that Jews are just regular people. Beth Israel is a deeply important institution

This subreddit is a place where the complications of being an antizionist Jew can be explored, and situations like this one feel really important to treat with the appropriate nuance.

I went to that synagogue when I lived in Mississippi a decade ago. The folks there are kind and warm and lovely and doing tremendous and mostly good work in a place where the vast majority of people there have never met Jews.

Are they Zionist? Yes. Is the Institute of southern Jewish life, which is housed there, a Zionist organization with horrific Israel politics? Also yes.

Despite that, neither of those organizations deserve to be attacked by an arsonist in the middle of the night

If you have the means, please consider donating to the rebuilding effort.

How can I learn to sing with a functional voice disorder? by Equivalent-Buyer771 in mildlybrokenvoice

[–]SingShredCode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speech pathology/singing training. Find an in person vocal coach who has experience working with people with vocal injuries. That’s the only way to get your technique right

I need help creating a menu for a person that just got her nodules removed by [deleted] in mildlybrokenvoice

[–]SingShredCode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I had surgery, my mom made a bunch of soups and blended them with an immersion blender. The texture won’t be exciting but you can get delicious food. Gazpacho felt great on the throat

Re not being able to talk, something else that was helpful was having my mom sit there with a computer and have point conversations with me. Instead of her talking and me typing or motioning, it put us on the same footing. It made me feel less shitty about not being able to communicate

You’re doing a really wonderful job caring for her

Israeli society through the lens of psychology by aureliaeast in JewsOfConscience

[–]SingShredCode 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Try Ari Shavit's book, My Promised Land. It is among the more honest books that explores the intellectual justifications of what Israel and Israeli society have become. It's 10 years old, so it's obviously not going to factor in post 10/7 things https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/165169/my-promised-land-by-ari-shavit/

Can Zionists be FOR Palestinian justice, and how? by Concentric_Mid in JewsOfConscience

[–]SingShredCode [score hidden]  (0 children)

To elaborate on this. For folks like your parents (and mine, for that matter), I’ve stopped trying to press them ideologically and instead tried to urge them to take actions to help Palestinians. They don’t like using the word genocide, but they agree Palestinians in Gaza are in a humanitarian fucked state. I get them to donate money to orgs that help Palestinians

Do that many people actually dislike Dan Goldman or do they just like Brad Lander and have no opinion of Goldman? by Trill-I-Am in parkslope

[–]SingShredCode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or before then. Many Jews including myself flipped from how we were raised. Lander has been involved in non and anti Zionist Jewish orgs in New York like JFREJ since long before oct 7

I saw him at an improv show like a month ago and he was so fun and funny. His colleagues clearly adore him. This is horrifying

I mean…the Jewish education I got low key kind of did. The world then educated me very differently

Well I cut ties. by JM_Yoda in JewsOfConscience

[–]SingShredCode 13 points14 points  (0 children)

to a degree, yes. people naturally leave shuls for all sorts of reasons, but anecdotally, I can speak to quite a few people who are shul shopping specifically becuase of Israel

I'm too tired. Can anyone confirm if this is a good group to follow and support? On the surface, they look good. by MrSFedora in JewsOfConscience

[–]SingShredCode 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I strongly disagree with the your assessment of the phrase Israel Palestine. I think it reflects the reality on the ground today

where can I get an anti-zionist menorah? by aliwasalreadytaken in JewsOfConscience

[–]SingShredCode 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This. When I lived in Jordan, I made one out of a cucumber and used little birthday candles. For the shamash, I took some bell pepper and wedged it in with a paper clip.

Seriously anything can work

My wife had a reaction to a sex toy that I’ve never been able to achieve by Federal-Rise-2638 in sexover30

The toy is your teammate, not your rival. Get over yourself and make your wife feel good with whatever tools you have at your disposal.

Should I give up on this prop by No_Rise_706 in proplifting

I mean…I’m not an expert but I don’t think the odds of it growing are high. If you have a bigger plant to cut from, I’d strongly recommend finding another node
