Imagine you wake up and find you have cancer. It’s devastating to your body, your life. And at least twice a week, you see articles titled “The world has moved on from cancer.” When you go to doctors, they say, oh cancer? Have you tried SSRIs? Your friends occasionally ask if your cancer is better.

i literally walk into the doctors office looking like this and the girl who rooms me has the gall to ask “wait, so you really want me to put on an N95?” like yeah i do expect you, person paid to be here, to at the bare minimum match my energy

there’s just still way too much “you guys should have been more comfortable supporting a candidate who was complicit in war crimes” and not enough “the candidate should not have been complicit in war crimes”

anyway your favorite little artist shop is probably going to be forced to raise prices this year. it’s completely outside of their control, their margins probably weren’t all that cushy to begin with, and you should be nice to them about it.

i think if you’re going to post something really pejorative about a whole supposed group of people (“a palestine supporter said ____!!”) at this point i need receipts. i’m sorry if that’s unfair but the straw man crafters have been too hard at work out here.

anyway this is why i closed my online store and got a new job 🫠

Please ignore tired pieces in publications like the Atlantic that are still trying to stigmatize mask wearing. Wearing a mask to prevent sickness from airborne viruses is a science-informed position, and it has been that way for over 100 years.

🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody. She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care. This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.

literally my friend in gaza is starving, his children and baby are starving, his wife can’t breastfeed because she’s starving. i cannot stress enough how much it feels like america has forgotten about palestine. i know many of us are still engaged. but too many have gotten too comfortable with this.

i need to find grumpy killjoy corner of bluesky because i have not seen one single post about cory booker’s attempts to criminalize BDS, his repeated vocal support for israel, or the fact that he’s accepted nearly one MILLION dollars from AIPAC over the years. he’s spoken at AIPAC multiple times!!!

i’ve started taking 30 minute naps after lunch as queen gabby windey would want

not mister corey booker texting me for 20 dollars this morning 😭 look man im grateful that you took it upon yourself to actually do the job of your party but i am never giving a the national democratic party another red cent for as long as i draw fucking breath

that’s just my baby dog

still kinda new around here and looking to find more of my people! is this you?? 🧿 jewish lefties & antizionists 🍑 cutie pie artists 😷 covid competent folks & disability justice advocates 🥝 late blooming bisexuals with golden retriever husbands 🪲 animal enthusiasts 🌝 weird dorks

Abolish April Fool’s day. Society has moved past the need for April Fool’s day

Hearing from all corners of HHS this morning about a total bloodletting — firings of scientists, analysts and many more as delayed RIFs take effect. Many folks didn’t see early AM email and showed up, only to be turned away when badges didn’t work. Was sent this photo of long lines at one HHS site.

Nine Palestine Red Crescent medics in ambulances, and some Civil Defence workers, went to help people in Gaza's Rafah and disappeared on March 23 after coming under attack from Israeli forces. Here’s everything we know about how Israel killed them aje.io/0w6qgo

Multiple people have already died in custody. If this is not a concentration camp, what is? www.miaminewtimes.com/news/overcro...

D&D rules lawyer theorycrafting is fun, but not while the rest of the players are sitting around the table waiting for you to just upcast magic missile at the damn beholder already.

My biggest annoyance, and why I post so much about the fantasism and make-believe that undergirds the present moment, is people (generally, and notably not just supremacists and authoritarians) desperately want supremacism to be rational, to have emerged from a place of justifiable logic

jupiter wishes you a very happy trans day of visibility 🏳️‍⚧️

If you buckle on one thing, they'll make you keep buckling. In this case, adopting the controversial re-definition of antisemitism opened the doors to Harvard becoming an explicitly fascist university: www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

why are his shoes too big on him help 😭

Ironic that one of JewBelong's big causes is fighting intermarriage, because it's hard to imagine anything more assimilationist than this.

grateful that this just happens to be a year i’m not cooking/hosting a big seder (aka the party that requires like four dozen fucking eggs)🥚

we’re all talking about how much worse art is getting under fascism, let me add that not enough people are upset about the fact that animation used to be drawn by hand. the reason the original Disney animated classics were masterpieces is because someone drew them by fucking hand.

I know I shouldn't be surprised but it is incredible how swiftly abortion was pushed out of the political conversation the minute the election was over

Betar, the judeofascist organization currently supplying names to the Trump administration for black-bagging, was founded by Jabotinsky 102 years ago archive.is/6j5M0

met with a new b’mitzvah student and her dad this morning, and damnit if actually communing with people to do jewish education work together doesn’t heal me like nothing else !!! i’m so relieved to be at home in jewish work again it’s actually bananas (and completely worth any headaches) !!!

it’s the most wonderful time of the year!!!!!!!

One of many moments in Omar El Akkad’s new book, “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This,” that will stop you in your tracks.

i actually agree they should drop everything, put him in whatever they’ve got, and propel him towards mars right now, asap, tout de suite

the entire political project of the american right is to create a hierarchy with protected in-groups and punished out-groups. there is no moral nor political upside in meeting them half way on any of those out-groups. the only people in a bubble are those who deny that hierarchy is their agenda

a wholesome thing about my house is there’s a section of our fridge specifically dedicated to my husband’s school photos& LARP achievement certificates

yes

The reason that the US is locking up tourists for weeks in hellish detention centers rather than letting them book tickets back home is because the detention centers are owned by corporations. They are charging the taxpayers fortunes to cage these people, and making bonanzas off their suffering.

Also, new rule, any culturally Christian person who wants to go on an "all religions are the same" rant is required to take one (1) single comparative religion class before being allowed to log back in I fucking swear this keeps happening and is so embarrassing

ICE has arrested Iranian national Alireza Doroudi, a doctoral candidate studying mechanical engineering at the University of Alabama. He was arrested at home at 5 a.m. Tuesday. As with some of the others who've been disappeared, unclear why he was detained. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

it blows my mind that he even knows what the smithsonian is, let alone where to find it

Judaism is not Zionism; Zionism is not Judaism Indeed, I would contend that the vast majority of Jewish anti-Zionists my age and younger are motivated to fight Zionism BECAUSE they embrace the ethical and spiritual teachings of Judaism, in one interpretation or another

ITS SHUT THE FUCK UP FRIDAY! WE. ARE. AT. WAR! Act like it. The state is trying to arrest you, disappear you, kill you… take it seriously. Understand who the enemy is. Do not just hand yourself over to the state. Do not cooperate. Shut the fuck up & be water.

things i’m thinking about in the name of preparedness: - making sure i am up to date on vaccines, esp. hep B and tetanus - making sure my dog stays up to date on his vaccines, especially rabies - stocking up on any product i order from abroad (like my husband’s canadian Vitacore masks) 🧵

finally got a haircut and went flower picking 🪻 not much but it helped a considerable amount

apologies for my absence i’ve been doing A Job, here’s a summary of what i’ve been up to outside of Job

i am plum tired of these smug fucks

being the partner with the more flexible WFH job means when my school teacher husband gets sick, i will inevitably get whatever he gets just in time for him to be well enough to return to work and not have enough sick leave to stay behind and take care of me 🥺 i hate america
