"The #dybbuk is an iconic villain of #Jewish #folklore. As we know from #SAnsky’s 1920 play “#TheDybbuk,” this malevolent spirit clings to a human host, taking over its body and mind to haunting and tragic effect.
But in #EllenGalford’s 1993 #satiricalnovel “The Dyke and the Dybbuk,” a dybbuk named Kokos meets her match in a 20th century Jewish #lesbian named Rainbow Rosenbloom.
Now, ahead of the #novel’s June 2 rerelease via Sinister Wisdom, we are pleased to share an excerpt of this vital piece of #queer Jewish #literature.
The following is an excerpt from “#TheDykeandtheDybbuk” by Ellen #Galford."

loool 😭 google translate was possessed by a catholic demon
sometimes I load documents in other languages into Google translate to skim their contents more quickly in English and I accidentally still had it set to German even though the document was in Yiddish. I have no idea why but it put out this crazy Virgin Mary + Jesus Christ content. when I clicked it over to Yiddish it was fine
