jewish holidays are either a bummer or weird as shit. sometimes both. purim commemorates the defeat of Haman’s plot to massacre the Jews and we celebrate this by eating triangle jelly cookies and playing with noisemaker toy cranks. it’s been explained to me but it doesn’t really matter why
@samhenrigold similar to the British burning of a Guy Fawkes effigy for attempting to blow up parliament. The irony modern Britain is aligned to Fawkes' motivations of toppling tyranny of religion and other stuff
