The Jewish tradition of Purim | Tumblr | Know Your Meme

dark-haired-hamlet There are n*zis on campus rn and a student brought out like a 1997 boombox and started blasting Taking The Hobbits to Isengard every time they tried to say something. "Those who do not share our genes -THE HOBBITS THE HOBBITS THE HOBBITS THE HOBBITS THE MASTER RACE - TO ISENGARD TO ISENGARD - AND I BELIEVE THE HOBBITS THE HOBBITS THE-" the44thpilot Chaotic good curiousobsession101 In Jewish tradition, one of our holidays is called Purim. It celebrates the defeat of an antisemitic political advisor to a king who liked to prowl the streets ranting his hatred. Part of the story of Purim involves the people being ranted at inventing a special kind of noisemaker to drown him out. Basically what I'm saying is this student is following a grand tradition whether they realize it or not and they should be proud. whisperwhisk not only is Purim about drowning out fascists, it's about doing so in the most absurd and embarrassing ways possible! fascism thrives on an aura of invincibility, and it's hard to hold onto that when people keep making farting sounds every time you open your mouth so really, weaponized memes are PERFECTLY in keeping with the Purim spirit disease-danger-darkness-silence *slams fist on table* NOW THIS is the kind of religious/cultural tradition I can get behind! 278,690 notes

homunculus-argument My theory is that ghosts get their energy by sucking the oil out of door hinges. That's how you know a place is haunted. Because the doors creak, even if you've just oiled them. The ghosts suck the oil out.

voidandradiance the most disorienting thing thats ever happened to me was when a linguistics major stopped in the middle of our conversation, looked me in the eye, and said, "you have a very interesting vernacular. were you on tumblr in 2014?" and i had to just stand there and process that one for a good ten seconds

German Shepherds

thefingerinthemiddle universalthaumaturge ... homunculus-argument The reason why german shepherds are the way they are isn't that they're stupid, they just have so much energy that they run out of smart things to do, and doing stupid s--- is infinitely better than doing nothing. They'll do the smart thing when one is available, yes, but if a german shepherd was a person, they'd be the type to make a 23-point to-do-list for a day, start working on it at 7:30 in the morning, be done with every single point on the list by noon, and then start constructing a new wall in the middle of the living room out of freeze-dried banana peels. 3.3k notes

Weird Crap Teachers' Students Have Done

astaraxia asked So today this kid yelled Nani the f---?!? in the middle of a test and I felt compelled to share this to the world. biggest-gaudiest-patronuses teachers, share the weird crap your kids have done! ralsalot I'm not a teacher (yet) but I do work with students and one of them had the nerve to look me dead in the eye and ask me "why would it be a bad idea for me to eat this entire marker?" They're 11 official-lyzzystardust An 4th grader asked for a high five by saying, "A little slappy to make daddy happy?" I did not give him a high five. myathesleepyoctopus A student during break had her head in her arms and was shaking a bit, so i asked the kid next to her whether she was laughing or crying and this 8 year old stared me in the eye deadpan and said "im crying on the inside" myathesleepyoctopus Wait i take that back, I cant believe i forgot about the time i brought in a small stuffed octopus as a class mascot because why tf not. It was a class of high schoolers and i didnt imagine theyd actually care much, but one student snuck in a snack and gave it to the octopus as a tribute. Which led to other students doing the same thing, until every day there was a pile of of offerings to Fweej the Overseer, mostly consisting of things like string cheeses and small bags of chips, but sometimes there wouldd be a couple bucks in quarters, one kid brought in some giant pocky i think, and at one point there was a cold stone gift card. This stuffed octopus gained a cult following. Later i brought in another stuffed octopus that looked exactly the same but bigger and told the class that Fweej the Overseer accepted their offerings and became stronger. These highschoolers lost their goddamn minds. shieldmaiden19 Oh my god I love this. Thank you for letting those kids be the dorks all high schoolers are.
