Here’s your semi-regular reminder that this blog is pro-Jewish and does not tolerate antisemitism. Love and solidarity to all Jewish sisters, brothers, and siblings.
I had never seen this sculpture before until today and I have been obsessed with it all day.
Here is Eve looking God in the fucking eye.
Prompted by Lucifer she takes what rightfully belongs to humanity – the knowledge of good and evil. Not afraid of God’s threats, not ashamed of her nakedness, (that goddam sassy hand on the hip!): it’s as if she’s daring him to do anything about it.
This is not a Fall – this is mankind rising up against the tyranny of servitude and the suppression of sexuality. It’s as if she’s grabbing God by the balls.
In medieval paintings of this theme Eve is either portrayed as innocent (pre-apple incident) or ashamed (post-apple incident). Usually Lucifer is depicted also, coiled around the tree. We don’t see Him here but we know He’s in the background, about to be cursed by a vindictive and controlling tyrant.
But He is here. We see Him in Eve: full of pride, rebellion, power, wisdom, and knowledge; unafraid of death and assured of her future. This is not a Fall. This is freedom.

This morning, an active shooter at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Squirrel Hill murdered at least seven eight people, possibly more. Four responding officers have been wounded as well. The killer surrendered to police and is now in custody.
Please keep Pittsburgh’s Jewish population in your thoughts, and continue to demand stronger action to keep weapons out of the hands of those who would commit hate crimes.
If you are local, the Central Blood Bank has experienced shortages recently and will surely benefit from your help. If you are able to donate, especially if you are a rare blood type, please go in and do so asap.
Synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh.
Fuck this.
Protect Jews at all costs.
Destruction to the enemy.
All Jewish friends and followers: I am so sorry. I love you.
