so tonight I’m at synagogue, listening to the Purim Night reading of the Book of Esther, like you do

and near the end of this chapter my brain presents me with the following:

nooooo ooooone plots like Haman
calls the shots like Haman
plans a genocide by casting lots like Haman

(It only works with the Hebrew pronunciation of Haman, which, like Gaston, is accented on the second syllable.)

By the time we get home my brain has added:

for there’s none so well-favored and kingly
yes, we all can be certain of that
he’s so rich that his pockets are jingly
and he looks really sharp in a three-cornered hat

*face in hands*

Petition to sing this every year at Purim.

I shared this with my dad, and he added:

No one’s spruce as Haman,
Nor abstruse as Haman;
No one’s half as good tying a noose as Haman!
He’ll use gallows in all of his decorating!
No one else hangs as well as Haman!

niiiiice

i know several people who will definitely appreciate this.

this is beautiful

oh wait

When I was a lad I hatched four dozen plots
Every morning, to raise myself high…
And now that I’m grown I hatch five dozen plots
So all those who oppose me shall die!

Oy, what a goy, that Haman!

Hey everyone, as some of you may know, my fiance and I are no longer together and I have to move out by the 13th.  I want to start new where there’s more opportunities because living here isn’t feasible when it comes to housing and jobs.  I’ll be moving in with @interspecieslesbianism thankfully but I need help getting myself and my emotional support animal out there. 

I currently have 50 cents to my name.  Please if you can help me at all I would be eternally grateful because my only other option is to temporarily stay at a shelter.  I have nowhere else to go.

I have several job prospects lined up already but I can’t get hired if I can’t move out there and I need to book this flight asap.  Please if you can donate, I’d be grateful.

Thank you to everyone who has donated.  We’re up to $125 and that’s enough for me to get his carrier and calming spray but I will still need help raising the money to get the plane ticket before the plane fills.  Please, if you can donate, it would really help me.  My family has already started threatening me because of wanting to leave the state.  I need out.

If you can donate please help.  I’m up to $175 but that’s still not enough for me to book my flight and get Rowen his carrier and calming spray.  thank you to everyone who has donated.  I have no way of truly showing my gratitude but you are making me have a hope that this is all going to be ok.

Just reached $220 so I can now buy a plane ticket!!  I still need $60-80 extra to buy the carrier and calming spray but I’m one step closer than I was.  Thank you so much to everyone who has donated!

I’m at $230 right now.  I have to wait 2-5 business days for the money to get into my account but hopefully that’ll be in there by Monday so I can buy the ticket then.  But please, I still need $60-80 to buy Rowen his carrier and spray so I can take him with me.  He is my emotional support animal.  I can’t just leave him behind.  The local store doesn’t have a carrier that’s airplane compliant so I have to order it online and the fastest shipping I’m finding is 4-5 days.  Please, if you can donate please, please, help me.  The whole purpose of me flying when I am terrified of flying is so Rowen won’t have to be on a 19 hour car ride.  I currently live in a town of 3,000.  I don’t have access to things without driving 30 minutes to an hour.  Please help me.

Thank you so much to everyone who has donated!  I’m at $285 now and have enough for our plane ticket and a carrier/spray.  I just have to wait for the funds to go into my account.  I could still use the help (moving my things to Phoenix, bus fare, food) but my immediate concerns are covered.  Thank you all so much!

EMERGENCY!

I just checked my intended flight and it has 4 seats left and the money still isn’t in my account (curse you 2-5 day waiting period!).  If I can’t book this flight I’ll be forced to change airlines.  The lowest price I can find is for $246 (without Rowen – in the process of getting my ESA info updated so there won’t be any problems or additional charges) and I won’t have enough for the ticket and the carrier/spray if this is the case!  Please help!  I don’t know what I’m going to do if I miss my date!  I already have to get Rowen a wellness check up on top of this because all other flights require it as does Denver which would have been my original layover.  Please please please if you can help me I would be eternally grateful.

For all American grad students who get tuition waivers.

This is extremely important for you to be aware of. Please spread the word.

Right now, I don’t think I know anybody who wouldn’t quit if this passed. Schools would lose their TAs and RAs en mass.

This would also make it impossible for disabled grad students – I can’t have roommates because of celiac (I tried, it didn’t work out), and so 2/3 of my paycheck goes right back out as rent.  And I make even less than this guy per year – I make 25-28k/year in one of the worst CoL places in America.  This will wreck the ability of people to go into research. This will make it even worse for people with medical expenses who want to go to school.
