The Orthodox Jews Who Share Their Seats and Their Hearts
Yoni Greenstein, an Orthodox Jewish man who grew up in Monsey and works in corporate America, realized something six years ago: many companies have seats at ballgames and events meant for clients which go unused, while many Jewish children suffering from illness and other difficulties could benefit from a pick-me-up that free seats at a baseball game, circus, or concert might provide.
With this simple idea of connecting excess and need, Yoni began keeping track of sporting and other event seats that were going to go to waste and started searching for sick or underprivileged children who would benefit from an outing to a ballgame which could distract them for a few hours from the hardship in their life. He knew from his own experience as a sports fan that going to a live event attended by tens of thousands of people can put a smile on most anyone’s face. And it worked.
#sucktober day 16: fat. It’s a juicy one today y'all. For those who don’t know, I work at a circus school, and lately I’ve been training very hard and seeing some really big gains. I also have always always always been at odds with my body in one fashion or another, and this word is one that echoes back to my very young self. I’ve got all kinds of weird shit about this word. I used to have it thrown at me a lot (and subsequently used to think it was a bad thing to be), associated it with shame, but now that my body has changed (again) and I have a little less of it, I feel weird about claiming the word. Anyway here’s a drawing about it. I hope @shooglet doesn’t mind me using one of their photos for inspiration (go follow them they’re incredible)
Barnum & Bailey / Exhibition d'Hommes & Femme Phenomenes. . That is not Chewbacca at left. That’s Jo-Jo, the Russian Poodle Man, and this is Barnum & Bailey’s Sideshow arriving in France. This original Strobridge design was translated and printed in Paris (a French tax stamp is at upper left), delivering une piquant je ne sais quoi to Little Peter the Great; John MacDonald, the Human Mastodon; Koguri, the Japanese Artist Without Arms; miniature Queen Mab; and some 30 other prodigies of nature. Magnifique!
Beginning in 1880, and continuing until World War II, Coney Island was the single biggest amusement area in the United States. For more than a century it’s been adored for the pure carnival fantasy of it, the mass congregation of its sideshow characters, and an atmosphere of devil-may-care lunacy. This classic poster was used by Barnum & Bailey for their British tour of 1898-1899, and served to enhance the reputation of this freewheeling national treasure in New York City. A visual delight as well as a historic document of great interest, this image was also published in the more common horizontal format. Bottom text reads: “Remarkable head-foremost dives from enormous heights into shallow depths of water, together with thrilling & daring aquatic & sub-aqueous feats of every description.”
