Happy Purim!

For those who don't know the story of Purim, it starts with a king who is unhappy that his wife won't show off her beauty for his friends. He decides to replace her with a new wife (Esther) who happens to be Jewish (though he doesn't know this at the time).

The king appoints an evil man as his viceroy who calls for the eradication of the Jews because one Jew wouldn't bow to him (since Jews only bow for G-d).

In the end, the Jews preemptively rise up against the fascists who would eradicate them.

Today I remember the danger posed by fascists who seek to eradicate people.

It's traditional to wear costumes and I dressed up as Mrs Peacock, in the Conservatory, with the Rope (myself and a bunch of friends did Clue-themed costumes)
