Song Review: Mark Rubin, Jew of Oklahoma - “Southern Jews is Good News” (Live, Dec. 2, 2022)
Funny, sad, educational and potentially unsettling, “Southern Jews is Good News” is an ear-opener.
Mark Rubin, Jew of Oklahoma performed the number Dec. 2 in Texas while seated next to a host who seemed unsure of what to make of a song that references farms with no pigs, Jews passing for white, Confederate Secretary of State Judah Benjamin (a Jew) and a willingness to kill Jesus - again.
Southern Jews is good news, baby/it’s just those Yankees I’ma worried about, Rubin sings as he accompanies himself on banjo and breaks into joyful, wordless vocalizing to underscore the humor amid the seriousness.

i had warned you. patho equestrian au image dump with elusive lore.
all competition outfits were made to be FEI guidelines-compliant (except for the Yulia's Hunter, which is not regulated by the FEI, which complies to the standards of Hunter/Equitation competitions regulatory bodies i could find), and if they're not it's not on purpose and will ask you to pretend they are.
characters that are not depicted in this imageset i either do not see as pivotal or even accessory to this AU OR i just didn't want to draw them because i'd like to. do something else with my life eventually. as it were.
this au takes place exactly where it takes place. typically western/american sporting disciplines such as barrel racing, calf roping, rodeo, [...] are not included in this au because these disciplines are not widely exported outside of its north-american birthplace, go figure, as they are historically anchored in the cattle herding and ranching traditions of vaqueros and cowboys on the great northern american plains, and depend of a historical, political, anthropological and geographical context that was not replicated in europe or asia (because we have our own things). Exception is made for Yulia's Hunter/Equitation competition, as Hunter/Equitation is a sporting discipline itself based on westen european (typically british) upper-class horseback fox-hunting traditions, so it's a "what goes around comes around" type of deal. also isn't she dapper lol.
a horse's height is measured at the withers, which is the ridge between their shoulder blades, appearing as a bump between their neck and back, just behind which the saddle is put, so if a horse's height appears "small" for a big animal, it's because the length of the neck is not counted in that height.
