'Underneath'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Hey Hil—one of my roommates from college asked this—do you know/can you recommend anyone?
have one (or possibly two) letters written to (or very possibly by) my great-grandmother, who left Bialystok in 1920. The language is either Hebrew or Yiddish, neither of which I would really understand even if I could transliterate the words.
Do I know anyone who can read and translate 100yo handwritten Hebrew script if I scan it to you?
Did I tell you all about the glass-blowing bar by my cabin? It’s actually a super cool concept. You can do glass-working classes (you get a token for a free drink after the class) but you can also just go hang out and watch from the bar. Drives a ton more traffic in than just the studio alone for classes, retail and commissions.
That sounds like so much fun. I saw a glass-blowing demonstration once, in Italy, and it was fascinating.
I think I'm not going to go to services tonight -- it feels like I'm getting a migraine, and I'm really just too tired.

The language is almost certainly Yiddish, from that time and place. If it's just a few pages, they can post them in the Facebook group Tracing The Tribe -- there are a lot of people there who can read Yiddish and will translate short things like letters. (It's best not to post those on a Friday night or Saturday -- most of the Yiddish-speakers observe Shabbat, and things posted then will get buried in new posts by the time they're back online on Sunday.)
Oh, man, hanging out with drinks watching glassblowing sounds like such a good time!
Sorry about the migraine, Hil
I think I’m going to bed at 8.
For some reason this shit today in DC has sent me over the edge. I’m so fucking angry.

Oh my god, msbelle, me too. I'm so angry I think I made my migraine worse.
It’s been an enraging day. 8pm bedtime might be good for me too. Maybe I will be able to navigate all this better tomorrow
That’s sounding real good right now. Of course it’s just after eight already and I just made dinner. But in theory, I’m with you.
In bed at 9. Still seething.
Blacksmithing and glass blowing both sound awesome. I suddenly realize that the boring trip with my grandparents to the craft booths at Silver Dollar City when I was a tween would be fantastic now.
