Why do I spend so much time creating free high quality printable materials of old Yiddish texts and music, using open source tools?
Because I think that such materials and tools must be available to everyone—not just those privileged with academic access—if we want to bridge the chasm created between us and our ancestors by the Holocaust and the era of assimilation, and effect a Yiddish cultural revival in our Diaspora.
psa, LGBT+ picrew, anti-ace rhetoric
Heads-up: Sangled, the artist on Tumblr who made the picrew in the above, is an ace-exclusionist - she posted https://sangled.tumblr.com/post/186701568854/i-saw-your-post-regarding-ace-inclusion-in-the (content warning for ... well, bog-standard ace-exclusionism) back in August and, as far as her public posts on that Tumblr go, stands by it.
Not gonna tell anyone what they should do in response, but, yeah.

Transphobia, Hate Crime
Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance or #TDoR.
Here’s why that’s important:
Transgender Day of Remembrance
Today is #TransgenderDayOfRemembrance #TDoR. These are the names and faces of our 27 trans siblings officially acknowledged to have been killed by hate in the United States alone.

Today is #TDOR. Please protect the trans folks in your life.
