wait can you expand on that "jewish pirates block the slave trade" thing please????? omg
YES, so i recently wrote a paper about jewish pirates and merchants for a thesis and used a shit ton of archive information and secondary sources (which are detailed below).
As we know, Jews were expelled from Spain in 1492. Some remained behind, known as conversos, who managed to hide their Judaism and remain behind. Others went into Calvinist Holland, but a majority of them went to Brazil, which was Portuguese-owned. The Jews there were known as marranos (pigs), but they were the first group to begin harvesting and collecting sugar by themselves. The marranos grew to have nearly 200 sugar plantations that they worked themselves— they traded with the Dutch, primarily. Sugar was hella expensive and Spain was hella jealous.Once the Iberian peninsula split (~1640s), Spain came in and took the land for themselves, either massacring or otherwise coercing the Jews to give up their Jewishness. They were kind of out of options, because Holland was engaged in war with Portugal and England was still not super friendly to the Jews, so they moved to the Caribbean.
Jews had been on Jamaica since about 1510, though they called themselves Portugals. They managed to get together a plea for England to get into Jamaica before Spain took it over, so Cromwell sent the English.
During the time in-between, Jews (Moses Cohen being the most famous Jewish pirate) roamed the seas with other “Brethren of the Coast”s. Because the Iberian diaspora had sent them all across the Old and New World, they had vast intelligence networks. Jewish merchants in Jamaica knew when ships in Spain were leaving, what they were carrying, and where they were going. Jewish pirates took revenge on the Spanish and, unlike the English, release the slaves from their bonds and either kept them on or took them to Haiti.
Jews are the best don’t let anyone fucking tell you otherwise.

Television Pastor Mark Burns opened for Donald J. Trump at an event in North Carolina and had a few things to say about Jewish democratic candidate Bernie Sanders.
It endlessly pisses me off how many amazing, clearly butch-coded characters get written straight bc the creators want to “subvert stereotypes”.
They aren’t helping anybody by pulling that shit, and actively HURT butch lesbians. They aren’t “subverting” anything bc here’s the thing…butch lesbians are actual, real women with actual, real lives and feelings. They aren’t stereotypes, they’re PEOPLE. The way that they are and present themselves isn’t something that needs to be subverted. It’s something that needs to celebrated.
Butch lesbians are amazing, beautiful, and perfect exactly as they are.
Baby bird season is incoming and I’d like to remind everyone that birds do not have a significant sense of smell. Bird parents will not reject birdlets because you have handled them.
If you see smol birbs with few or no feathers on the ground, you can safely put them back into their nest, bird parents will still care for them.
If you see smol birbs with some or most feathers on the ground, please leave them there, as bird parents are probably nearby watching and feeding.
nakey bird = accidentally fell out, is cold and scared, put back in nest! if you can’t reach the nest, try to put it on a wide branch or fork so predators can’t get at it as easily.
scruffy feather bird = starting to try the fly thing, not very good at it. only put in nest/branch if predators abound, i.e. you have four outdoor cats and they’re licking their chops.
fluffy feather bird = smol fly guy! do nothing. can probably get away from predators and will flip its shit if you pick it up.
Reblogging this because I’d always heard the ‘Don’t touch a distressed bird its mom will reject it’ thing treated as fact before now, I didn’t realise it wasn’t true…

my 11 year old sister was in class and they were reading a book and she rasied her hand and asked her teacher what a word meant and her teacher goes “seriously? you’re in the sixth grade and you don’t know what that means?”
petition to stop teachers from making students feel like they’re dumb
if a curious student should know something by 6th grade but they don’t it means a teacher didn’t do their job
Ugh, as a teacher, this makes me so furious every time I read it. If your student is asking for an answer, don’t tear them down, FUCKING GIVE THEM THE ANSWER. You’re an educator and they’re asking for information. Wtf is wrong with this teacher, I swear to god.
Most of the time he’s fine. But he, y'know. Doesn’t sleep and all.
I don’t have the heart to kick him out.
I’m glad we had this talk.
