Here Are the Jewish People
Western popular concepts of Jews that people here take as the extent of our tribe:
The reality:
Boys from the Jewish population of Yemen, which has been around for 2500 hundred years but has been slowly massacred over the past few generations.
The Lemba of South Africa and Zimbabwe (Zimbabwe in particular has a large and VERY long history with their Jewish Community)
The Abayudaya of Uganda, some of the great Jewish musicians
The Beta Israeli of Ethiopia
Igbo Jews of Nigeria
Cochin Jews of India
Baghdadi Jews
Kaifeng Jews of China, who go back to the 7th or 8th century. Unfortunately, during the 20th century much of their culture was almost wiped out and the Kaifeng are currently working to rediscover their Jewish heritage and culture.
Jewish Children in Puerto Rico (Jews have been in Puerto Rico since the 15th century, many fleeing from the Inquisition)
The Beit Shalom Choir in Japan
Kosher comes in all colors, from all over the world, and in a variety cultural groups. We’re a small portion of the human population, but we have EVERYONE. We are all members of this tribe.
Because stereotypes are bullshit.
Boosting because you sure as fuck won’t see this in any Western textbook.

A gay man who happens to look eerily similar to anti-LGBT extremist and Vice President-elect Mike Pence is putting his looks to good use ― by wandering the streets of NYC in short shorts and collecting money to benefit important organizations.
HELL YEAH!
THE BEST THING IVE SEEN THIS YEAR
NEW PLAN: trap mike pence in a pit and stealthily replace him with Gay Short Shorts Mike Pence a la Mad-Eye Moody or Mystique in that one xmen movie. then when trump is impeached, Gay Short Shorts Mike Pence will become President Gay Short Shorts Mike Pence. a just and powerful leader. “What happened to you, Mike Pence?” his supporters will cry in 2018 as he instates his new federal holiday, Mandatory Give $20 To Your Gay Neighbor Day. “I had a change of heart,” he will say, as villainous actual Mike Pence struggles against his bonds in a well-appointed Park Slope living room
D I R E C T. A C T I O N.
He was at the women’s march this year and he scared the living BEJEEBUS out of me because I turned around and saw him out of the corner of my eye haha
Out of the corner of your eye you spot him…
Mike Pence

Ok, so I love this scene because Dean is adorable and the whole exchange is darling, but there’s actually something really sad here (and I don’t mean that I typed this all up and then accidentally deleted it and had to retype it). It is said in the show that the jacket is John’s, a hand-me-down to Dean (3.10). This is (I believe), the only time we see the brown jacket actually buttoned up. The jacket never fits Dean all that well, it’s a little too long in the body, a little too long in the sleeves. However, Dean normally fills the jacket with his presence, wearing it with confidence and it’s easy to overlook how incredibly badly this jacket actually fits Dean.
But here, it’s so clear how poor a fit his father’s jacket is. Dean wears it as an second skin, an armour. He cloaks himself in his father’s garb, trying to show to everyone that he is the man his father wanted him to be, a man who emulates John Winchester.
But this jacket mocks him. In this, it pulls across the chest in odd ways because it fits John, not Dean. The sleeves are too wide. His shoulders are far too narrow for that jacket. It makes him look like a little kid, wearing his father’s coat because he lost his own. He’s swamped in it. He can never be the man he thinks his father was and when he tries, he’s lost, like he’s lost within that overly-large jacket. He is not his father’s son, not in many ways. He’s motivated to protect people, not out of single-minded revenge.
But Sam is his father’s son in that way. John and Sam are so similar that they cannot avoid conflict, both men have fiery tempers and short fuses. John and Sam are motivated by losing the women they loved to the supernatural. If Sam were to put that jacket on, it would probably fit him better, in the shoulders, in the length and in the sleeves.
No matter how Dean tries to posture, he is not his father and is not the man he thinks his father wanted. Because that jacket will never fit him.
