Honestly it’s a good thing I don’t have a switch 2, because nobody needs to see me creating Rebbe slash fic in tomodachi life

The amount of harm done by weight loss medication commercials is so immense. I’m sure there’s a body count. It’s incredible we just accept this as normal

It is heartening to see pieces in the media that address the simultaneous rise in antisemitism and Islamophobia at the same time. I am hopeful that several communal organisations and the government will catch up.

By the time you're 40 you should have three friends: one who walks into an orchard and dies, one who looks and loses their mind, and one who becomes a heretic

Techno is Leninist; Jungle, Maoist. Don’t ask me why

i don’t have a “gock” or a “princess wand” or a “shenis” or whatever it’s literally just a fat hog please talk normally

Sorry but if you want to have political influence you need to get out of your left-wing bubble on Bluesky and start converting eight year olds to Marxism on Roblox

Chababe experience: Being in an uber and hearing a song that sounds familiar and being like “oh, burial sampled this in Kindred EP!”

www.subvert.fm/seasick @subvert.fm is now live! Please check out the little mini album i have exclusively on there. Going forward everything i put out will go here first.

"Within social media platforms, offenses against straight white guys are considered especially heinous. On Bsky, the dedicated mods who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit. These are their stories."

My personal favorite:

You just gotta try to make stuff, you know? That's what we're here for. Make stuff, make space, make a world that makes space to make stuff. Do whatever you can.

There's actually old Protestant theological thinking tangled up in here ("salvation by faith alone" --> what's in my heart is what matters) which here conflates inner state + outer action. Are those bones racist?!? Which lines up perfectly w/power, accountability, maintaining status quo ofc

I think the main reason countries like Syria and Lebanon and Saudi Arabia and Jordan and Palestine don't like Israel is because Israel insists that their sovereign territories are actually Israel's.

I’ll never forget two days after Oct 7th I had to cut a friend out who was a reconstructionist convert. She had dismissed my mourning said “do you really think Palestine will be free without Jews dying?” Still fucks me up

Proper education on antisemitism will reject tropes--it will 1) focus on the inherent humanity of Jewish people 2) attack conspiratorial thinking 3) expose the function of antisemitism for powerful people, whether they are the richest man in the world (Elon Musk), our Secretary of War...

By doing this, antisemitism discourses essentially "inoculate" non-Jews against future attempts to call out antisemitic dogwhistles and antisemitic tropes. But a focus on tropes that isn't purpose-built for hasbara does not solve the problem, either. It's just an inappropriate way of teaching it.

This insistence on declaring Palestinians (and their allies) antisemitic for just describing their pain has been criticized elsewhere, very strongly in el-Kurd's "Perfect Victims." It is a disgusting, dangerous, and disingenuous attack. It is also easily seen through. That's a problem itself.

In my mind, the first step of non-Jewish allyship to Jews is that if you see a bright pink billboard with a message that is too convoluted to understand (other than getting the sense that you are being scolded)…no you didn’t 😶

I genuinely am baffled by what Hashem expects me to do with this steaming pile of shit he’s given me

please sir, let the autistic trans djs of bushwick write jingles for all the train stations, you won’t regret it

never count out Touchdown Keir. just because he’s fatally wounded politically doesn’t mean he can’t clutch up and deliver a new statutory instrument saying all trans women have to wear bells like medieval lepers

Common crown heights experience tbh

it is true that no secular american jew learns yiddish by interacting with someone who can correct their yiddish, like a yiddish teacher, who are largely a myth perpetrated by the yiddish book center

Brb freebasing this post

Cigarettes went up an extra dollar at my bodega to $21 a pack… Motivation to quit starting right now lol

The horrors are all around, they’re kept manageable by what we create

Spending the last few months talking to trans people directly devastated by the Catholic Church's healthcare ban and then seeing all the praise for papal pr is honestly sickening. It's making it far harder to organize against this. Beyond done with the "good pope, bad bishops" bs.

Autism acceptance, awareness, whatever, cannot be about glossing over the bad points. I wouldn't change being autistic. I like who I am. None of it is a "superpower" and the good doesn't make the bad disappear. Acceptance means accepting all of it. As uncomfortable as that may make some people. 7/

Once again, AIPAC is a group of Americans who are pro-Israel (as sucky as accepting that might be), they are not "foreign influence" or "an arm of the Israeli government" and its dual loyalty tropes all the way down there

Trans women are the best at trans misogyny, innovating on the form in dizzying ways

All yaoi bochur knows is DnB, trans chassidus, and anarcho-maoism

I simply am not worried about being bothered by spam/stolen accounts ran by people experiencing a genocide trying to survive. It’s just social media, it can burn if it feeds even one family imo

People want to use AI to reduce the amount they have to care about disabled people, not to actually improve access. That’s the bad thing here.

People are like "unfortunately, Trump is very funny" and that's not true. He is not. The person who is terrible but unfortunately very very funny is Eric Adams

As Layla points out elsewhere, it's not so much that the two-state solution is bad, as that the two-state solution is the preferred claim of people who unconditionally support Israel but want to sound "moderate"

look at mister hooper telling big bird about how he went to a yiddish folkshul when he was a little kid, look at him taking a grocery order in yiddish for some guy who wants a couple of red onions (royte tsibeles, רױטע ציבעלעס) for his herring

Just marathoned all of Haibane Renmei for the first time and desperately need people to talk about it to 🪽🐦‍⬛😇

"As long as you draw trans men with good (pure) intentions" my intentions are evil my intentions are carnal my intentions are fueled by desire my jaw can barely close from how much I crave because I am evil I am petty I am a selfish boy thing

This is no way to live, man

This isn't a conflict that would invite nuclear retaliation to the United States; Iran lacks missiles that can reach the territory and thanks to the JCPOA and the late Khamenei's personal opposition to them lacks nuclear warheads. The immediate harm will fall on civilians in a nation of 90 million.

its also telling that, actually, Kamala wanted to bomb Iran also. please do not do anachronistic fingerpointing politics. this country has issues with the very core of its operational structure and complaints of which talking heads, of lesser evils, is just meshuga

I don't at all agree with the post this person was responding to, claiming that indigeneity is a concept that applies to the relationship of Jews to Palestine. But the claim that the Jews had no concept of unified Jewish peoplehood before Zionism is so historically illiterate that it beggars belief.
