I made some NOLA King Cake inspired hamentashen for Purim. I guess you can call them "HaMelekhtaschen."

@jtrebach But if my sister's cobra bite patient had left the danger noodle alone, she wouldn't have gotten an article published in the Journal of Emergency Medicine. 🥺

@AveryFlynn Definitely Drunk History even though I don't drink.

I'd also be down for Drunk Tanakh Stories, Drunk Midrash, Drunk Talmud Stories, and/or Drunk Halakhot. Granted, I typically talk about all of that in a way that's similar to Drunk History (except I'm sober).

@TheTonightSho My shul has a red light/green light thing and kids flip the switch during the Megillah reading.

A friend commissioned me to make this calligraphy piece as a gift for his father, a veterinarian.
The quote is Iyyov (Job) 35:11: "Who gives us more knowledge than the beasts of the earth,
Makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?"

@NatlParkService I've made my own ink and I write with a quill on an almost daily basis.

@moll_aj @MateoLevin I have very long hair and my shel rosh slides pretty easily. It was much worse before I got it tied to fit my head properly. I wouldn't be surprised if that's what happened here.
