Pigmas 1 January

[RiverNotch]

What, you think I'm spending New Year's Day having fun? xD I'll post this now in case I end up sleeping in today.

On the eighth day of Christmas, the Pig Pen gave to me
eight snuffed-out candles,
seven strange names,
six ancient kings,
five struggling moms,
four vanished kids,
three religious pamphlets,
two cash gifts, and
a carol on a broadsheet.

Post something about (bad) cultural appropriation OR about Jewish tradition.

Charms


Of those many customs
which turn Jewish law
into, not quite, its opposite
but charmingly
my favorite is Passover sale to Gentiles
so that certain items (chametz)
not be owned by their seller
at forbidden times.
These transactions
temporary and reversible
may now be conducted online
under proper auspices.

If only we post-Christians
could pawn our sins and viruses that way
and just
you know
lose the ticket
or forget
to redeem them...

Suburban white girl,
DMT does not make you
a Shaman, okay?

Fine hair, long and straight,
folded, twisted, and tied up,
no reason at all.

Native Navajo
celebrating Halloween
as Pocahontas.

Asians no longer
considered 'colored people'
in America
