Oh really? Damn… Based on her appearance on Behind the Bastards the other week, I’ll just say it sounds like we’d have something in common, I hate my idiot cousin too. lol
Yeah, I bet family gatherings are... interesting to say the least, lmao
Mara seems like a really cool person. I just listened to the behind the bastards episode with her and she felt exceptionally genuine.
Same here, I actually got this post from the Behind the Bastards sub. She was a great guest.

Mara is fantastic. I especially like her voicing „The Old Woman Who secretly lives in your house“ in „Welcome to Nightvale.“
Came here looking for this. She was excellent in that role.
That's her? Lmao I had no idea
Other nightvale fans!
This made me look up the term secular in context to Judaism. How did I not know that until now?
For those that don't know, being Jewish is the only ethnicity in the world that also refers to religion and (though no longer used due to antisemitic usage) national identities. Secular Jews are quite common
I just looked this up. The idea is called an ethnic religion, where a religion is closely tied to an ethnicity as opposed to universal religions like Christianity or Islam. It's far from the only one, but it is the one that has the most mind share, at least in the West.
Only tangentially related, but I find it interesting how wildly divergent the valence of the word "Jew" can be based almost exclusively on context.
Jews are wonderful people with a beautiful culture!
Yeah my dad is a Jewish atheist (or agnostic, depending on how much he feels like placating my catholic mom lol)

Unironically, I'd like to know. Not having a go at you. There seem to be lots of people who don't know that. But without that bit of knowledge, the holocaust doesn't make sense.
The nazis defined anyone with jewish grandparents to be part of a jewish race, by law. That even included a few christian priests. Of course, the nazis didn't invent the idea. People never liked converts much. When you prosecute someone, you want to get the loot. It's never about selflessly helping people go to heaven.
Historically, it's a truism that a race is a result of racism. First, a group is hated or subjugated. Then membership - and supposed negative traits - become defined as unalterable, heritable facts.
