I'm Talen! I make videos and articles and games and graphic designs and guides and messes and encouragement. Chances are you can find anything I do on my blog. I like it when you comment on my things, so please do!
I almost didn't read this article but I'm glad that I did, because you have broken through the thing in my brain that has been holding me back from actually calling/considering myself Jewish, because that "percentage purity" bullshit was blocking my brain from allowing me to accept that as my heritage. Thanks Talen 💜

Yeah, like, treating people's blood like it's percentages or fractions is weird. I really like the way Paaka Davis describes whakapapa and how it's a lot more sensible to see a series of connections.
One of the great things about this is matches with folks like Wales, who have their own contextually fitting challenge, and where doing both is respectful, awesome and encouraged!
