What is this blog?
Good question.
Argumentative Jewish stream of consciousness slice of life current events rage and memes
Ko-fi (shop and commissions open!)
New shop because Etsy is poop
The financial emergency has ended, thankfully. Any donations will go toward saving for a house or having a rainy day fund (2023 had a lot of rainy days).
Reblog to give a hug, a forehead kiss, and a grilled cheese cut diagonal to the person you reblogged it from.
To put it very bluntly.
You will always make a better impact helping people who need it than trying to hurt people you think deserve it.
once you hit adulthood a day will come when you’re suddenly like VEGETABLES 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 and it never goes away
Almost every cultivar of brassica oleracea just absolutely fucks when prepared correctly, y'all.
I've always been 🔥🔥🔥🔥VEGETABLES🔥🔥🔥🔥 but yeah. There are days when a box of chocolates is boring and a party size veggie plate is EXCITE
this isn’t a hot take so much as a legislative suggestion but honestly i think there should be consequences if you dress boring at the met gala. it should be like an elimination bracket where only the top 30 best dressed people get to come back next year and they have to find new people to fill it out and you can only try again after 5 years of repentance
Got pulled over because he "saw someone flash their lights at me" and it made him "think something was going on". After he ran my paperwork and did multiple full walk-arounds of my car, he decided everything was in order and I was free to go. I just wanted to get home from work.
Living in MD got pulled over when I pulled into my landlady's [100%, rich, suburban] community and questioned what my purpose was there. "I live here" was not an acceptable answer and I ended up needing to call my landlady to talk to the officer and convince them that I really did live there, in her basement inlaw apartment, courtesy of her granddaughter. When he finally let me go he told me he "actually" pulled me over because he "thought [my] headlights were out" but on "second glance" they were just fine. Dunno how you can mistake headlights being on or off.
And I know I've told the story of when one of my elderly white neighbors called the police on me for training my dog in a public use field and how even the cop that showed up thought the call was stupid and racist.
My dad got pulled over when I was still in a carseat because they thought it was "suspicious" that a grown man would have such a young child with him on a school day. He was driving me back to school from a doctor's appointment. They made him get our of the car, lean against it, and searched both him and the car because they "smelled something" while he did his best to keep me calm and tell me that it was going to be okay. I was too young to understand what happened at the time. I just remember he was furious the entire ride back to school, and he was still mad when I got off the bus that afternoon.
It really is just Like This, being black in this country.
I need to report a hate crime (facetious)
Spotify dropped a track by Loreena McKennitt in the middle of a Playlist of supposedly Egyptian music.
Husbff has been watching Justified for the somethingth time and this line made me feel a thing.
realizing cis women also struggle with “passing” a lot of times and has a lot of the same issues with dysphoria trans women have (issues with putting on/losing weight, dissatisfied with bust size, not feeling “feminine” enough, etc.) has done a lot to combat dysphoria for me, cause it’s like, wow, we really have a lot more in common than we have in difference huh
terfs are starting to find this post, and i gotta say: terfs getting mad at a post that explicitly acknowledges cis women’s struggles and with notes full of cis women agreeing and talking about their own struggles and experiences really speaks volumes about how anti-feminist, and frankly misogynistic, terfs really are, that they don’t even give a shit about cis women’s struggles and experiences
like? i actually do think antizionism — where zionism is defined as believing that israel should exist and is the ancestral homeland of the jewish people — is fundamentally antisemitic but i don’t think there’s any point in telling western leftists that because western leftists have demonstrated that they do not, in fact, give a shit about antisemitism as long as they have a handful of jewish people to tokenize who are ok with their antizionism
antizionists be like: "antizionism isn't antisemitism because our definition of antizionism is being against genocide!" and then protest with signs sayinf Final Solution.
*NOTE: in this case, phobia refers to a very strong irrational fear, not being a little scared of something. if you can handle snakes but they make you nervous, that's not a phobia.
remember that palestinians are humans: they are mohammed and amal and khaled and fatima and ahmed and sana.
remember that jews are humans: they are david and tamar and eitan and yael and ariel and noa.
we are not sides. we are not pawns. we are people. we have passions and hobbies and dreams. so stop treating this conflict like a game.
I was gonna put it in the tags but it was getting too long.
Stop treating this war like a game and especially stop treating it like a fandom. People seriously treat this conflict and especially the current war like a goddamn reality show. It's disgusting.
They hide behind the mask of activism and righteousness to hide their bigotry. Both "sides" are guilty of this, both "pro-pals" and "pro-israel" people. So many of them are either antisemites, islamphobes, or both.
I'm getting sick of it. I want to live in peace and I want my neighbours to live in peace. I want children to be able to go to school without having to fear getting bombed.
We're human. Get this through your skull. Israelis are human. Palestinians are human. Jews are human. Muslims are human. We're all human.
The real sides aren't pro-israel and pro-palestine. The sides are pro-peace and pro-war. Pro settling this conflict already so we could fucking love our life in peace and pro dragging it out forever because we refuse to believe everyone can all exist in the same land in peace.
People who consider themselves pro-palestinian and go and attack synagogues are not pro peace.
People who consider themselves Zionists but also believe we need to flatten and take control over Gaza are not pro peace.
They're the people treating this war like a game and I'm sick and tired of watching them take over the internet with their stupid opinions. You're adding oil to the fire. You're actively lighting the match. You're trying to turn us against each other but that's not going to work for you.
Peace will win, at the end. Humanity will win. We will find a solution without the help of people who're only looking to fuel their hatred.
And fuck everyone who think otherwise.
me remembering that antisemites are so so upset and mad over my existence and they can't do anything about it
Israeli PTSD:
1. The bus engines make the same sounds as a siren, so I get really freaked out when I hear it.
2. I heard a noise outside at 3:34 AM, jumped out of bed, grabbed my fake wood Katana I have next to me since October 7th and waited for whichever terrorist was outside my door (which turned out to be my 13 year old Irish setter bumping into my bedroom door).
3. "WHAT WAS THAT BANG??" "Someone shooting!!"
"No, just thunder."
4. Do not use the word "kidnapped" as a joke or phrase unless it's the actual kidnapped in Gaza.
(Feel free to add more my lovely fellow Israelis)
stupid kids at my parents' block keep hitting the metal fence (לוחות פח יעני) and it makes an incredibly loud bang, first time I heard it, over a year ago, I thought it was a gunshot.
they didn't even stop when the war started, they occasionally do it at 3am
rb if u hates terfs
With the Reddit 3rd party app crackdown and the ongoing horseshit Elon Musk is pulling with "X", I realize a lot of people here might be pretty new. So I put together a quick and easy guide for using Tumblr for anyone new who might need it.
