The Muppets do Dance Yrself Clean

a devotional poem about the jewish double month of alaph alaph, or as the poet explains:

This poem reflects on Adar Aleph, the "first" Adar (Feb.-March). This year is a leap year in the Jewish calendar, and so two months of Adar occur instead of one. According to some mystical traditions, the twelve months of the year relate to the twelve tribes, while the leap month of Adar is connected to Dinah, Jacob's daughter. In Jewish tradition, a leap year is called "me'uberet," meaning "pregnant."

I dont watch OLTL, or AMC, but it was the first trash text that was written seriously about in academic circles, and it was popular among working class women, and they always had queer stories before anyone in mainstream media, and melodrama is profoundly in the hearts of certain kinds of gay men, and i will deeply miss scenes like the one above.
