    Long Nails, Lesbian Logistics, and Jewish Control feat. Melissa Weisz

    We have returning hot amazing Yenta Melissa Weisz on the pod this week!! Our episode starts with lesbian nail discourse and ends with an existential conversation about Judaism, marriage, control, and building a life after Orthodoxy. Obviously. We discuss: * the sociology of long nails in queer culture * “baby gays” and queer experience requirements* whether putting on a strap is sexy or awkward * why religious rituals can become control mechanisms * how marriage changes your relationship to Judaism * rebuilding Jewish practice on your own terms * mikvah experiences ranging from magical to emotionally damaging * Orthodoxy, OCD, and the illusion of control * what happens when ex-Orthodox people try to create Jewish homes that actually fit them Also:Melissa pitches lesbian finger condoms. Antonia accidentally exposes all of us psychologically. Raye realizes they may just want Judaism to be a group project.
