Friendly October reminder not to put Spock or other Jewish characters in costumes with horns
to clarify: it is an antisemitic idea that Jews have horns (dating to a mistranslation of karan (shone) v keren (horns) ) which was perpetuated in art by the likes of Michelangelo. this is not a thing of the past–some gentiles still believe that jewish people have horns, and putting jewish characters in costumes/aus with horns is insensitive at best and also really fuckin gross
also do not depict Jewish characters as demons there is a very long history of Jews being seen as demons and that being used to kill us
please do not dress Jewish characters in costumes that are priest outfit or nun outfit or with crosses
Just to give y’all an idea of how modern the horn issue is: My dad, when he went to college in the early 1980’s, was asked by someone who had never met a Jew before where his horns were. In the 1980’s. My dad was asked where his horns were. This was only 30 years ago. I have been lucky not to deal with that particular stereotype in my lifetime, but that was less than a decade before I was born. And I know other Jews in areas where Jews are scarce have dealt with this much more recently than the 80’s.
Yup. When my mom went to college, her freshman year roommate woke up the first Sunday and started getting dressed for church. My mom was still in bed, so the roommate came over and woke her up.
Roommate: Did you want to come to church with me, or do you have your own church you’re going to?
Mom: Well, I don’t really go to religious services, but if I did I would go to a synagogue, not a church, because I’m Jewish.
(Long silence. My mom opens one eye to see her roommate staring in shock.)
Roommate: You … you don’t look Jewish.
Mom: (Who looks VERY Jewish) What do you mean?
Roommate: Well, my pastor always told me that Jews have horns and a tail.
Long story short: they didn’t end up getting along very well.
@optometrictzedek and @theforestsoulbird, it’s more recent than that.
I’ve been asked about my horns as recently as 1997. In a public school in New Jersey.
It would b cool of my non-Jewish followers to reblog this!!! Spread this bc it’s scary and real and you should know!

Fun fact: cats don’t just wiggle their butts before they pounce out of excitement – they’re also making tiny adjustments to the position of their feet in order to more precisely aim the ensuing lunge.
Or, in other words: your cat is calibrating.

Andrade x Sami?
i have never even considered this ship before but this is such a good ship? oh my god? anyway;
Who asks the other on dates: andrade. sami is a simple and shy man, and he gets way too flustered to attempt to ask andrade out because, well, andrade is beautiful. now, every time andrade asks sami out, sami probably trips over something and laughs awkwardly before saying yes because he’s that stunned. andrade thinks it’s cute.
Who is the bigger cuddler: sami! andrade’s not above cuddling either, but sami is more gently intimate than he is.
Who initiates holding hands more often: sami, for the same reasons listed above for cuddling.
Who remembers anniversaries: sami is better at keeping track of them. andrade’s the type that sometimes needs a few not so subtle reminders from sami before he suddenly realizes how close they are to the date, and arranges for something special at the last minute. being tranquilo means you tend to lose track of the time.
Who is more possessive: andrade.
( ͝° ͜ʖ͡°)
Who gets more jealous: sami, mostly because andrade is, of course, well known for being the life of the party…and that comes with talking up more than just a few strangers, every now and then.
Who is more protective: i would say that they’d be equally protective of each other, in their own ways. sami is protective of andrade, in the sense that he gets into a few too many arguments with people over andrade’s carefree and of the moment lifestyle. andrade’s protective of sami in the sense that he gets into physical fights with people who try to hurt sami or otherwise make fun of him for his insecurities and naivety.
Who is more likely to cheat: sami thinks that andrade is. he gets nervous when andrade disappears into the night to attend bars and clubs until the early hours of the morning, and he hates that he has those thoughts. in reality, andrade likes to pretend that he’s not one for settling down with just one person, but he’d never hurt sami in such a way.
Who initiates sexy times the most: andrade.
( ͝° ͜ʖ͡°)
( ͝° ͜ʖ͡°)
( ͝° ͜ʖ͡°)
Who dislikes PDA the most: neither! sami is a little more hesitant about being so public and open, though. but he doesn’t dislike it.
Who kills the spider: neither, because sami would lecture andrade about the waste of life of an innocent creature if andrade didn’t, begrudgingly, have to pick up the little guys with a piece of paper and put them outside instead.
Who asks the the other to marry them: andrade. he’s much more direct, and it catches sami off guard. he never would guessed that andrade was that dedicated to commitment.
Who buys the other flowers or gifts: both.
Who would bring up possibly having kids: sami.
Who is more nervous to meet the parents: surprisingly, andrade. he’s got a known reputation for mischief and he doesn’t want sami’s family to disapprove of them being together.
Who sleeps on the couch when the other is angry: andrade.
Who tries to make up first after arguments: sami. he seems like the type that would instantly regret yelling and getting angry at someone.
Who tells the other they love them more often: oh gosh. i’d imagine they’d say it to each other a lot. i think andrade might say it more, if only because he wants to make sure sami believes him.
