I wish my dream come true
learned today that macklemore has a song on his new album called 1984. it makes no reference to the book at all. it’s like it doesn’t even exist. the song is just about dancing at a club . that’s so fucking choice.
took five writers to come up with those bars
the idea of macklemore mixing up great gatsby w 1984 is so fucking funny i’m just going to assume this is what happened
actually i experience “body horror” every day. because. um. i have one
btw Jewish charity organizations in the USA don’t exist to convert you like Christian charity organizations, they are specifically Jewish because they were likely founded by Jews who were being turned away from other organizations. several Jewish hospitals exist in the US because many Jewish immigrants had degrees but were turned away from other hospitals for being Jewish. so we made our own, lmao. these days most of these organizations are no longer specifically Jewish because job and care discrimination is not as common for us as it used to be. i’m saying this just in case anybody is wary of accepting aid (many Jewish charities set up free food kitchens, for example) from a Jewish charity because of mistreatment by Christian ones, and i think it’s important to understand the difference
The bulk of the work HIAS does these days is in aiding non-Jews.
Your local Jewish Community Center? Anyone can join.
Jewish Family and Children’s Society? They’ll still help you if you reach out for their services and aren’t Jewish.
Ask the Hebrew Free Loan Association for a loan and have no connection to Judaism? Yup, they’ll work with you.
A Jewish food bank? Will feed you, no matter who you are.
And HIAS? My synagogue is working with the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society to support a refugee family that is new to our area (we furnished their house, do social stuff with them, and make the phone calls that are hard for ESL folks). The father in the family is literally a pastor.
no this is legitimately very sweet thank you
and to make it even more explicit: Jewish organizations will never try to convert you, because Jews don't proselytize. we aren't recruiting. if you want to become Jewish, you have to seek us out and it's a lot of work. if you don't actively express interest in becoming Jewish, you will not be asked to
Jewish Family Services has branches all over the country, very likely one near you if you’re in the US! They help anyone of any background with things like food, rent, emergency funds, job placements, housing placements, therapy access, and more! And if you don’t need their help, donating to them is a great way to directly help your community
Check if your area has a Hatzalah (Jewish volunteer EMS) branch, especially if you live in the US where an ambulance can be expensive enough that you'd hesitate to call one even if you needed it.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE JEWISH, literally anyone who has a Hatzalah branch in their area can and should have the number handy in case of emergency.
They’re mostly on the east coast and California, but check your area.
I know a lot of people who’ve been in dire situations and didn’t call an ambulance because it’s so expensive, so please check out whether there are mutual aid options in your area (a lot of mosques have free medical stuff so they might have ambulance services too).
there's a hatzalah (also called hatzoloh) branch in toronto!
and one in montréal
putting my prediction on record now that the coming decade is going to see the rise of viral-marketed fancy at-home water filtration systems, driving and driven by a drastic reduction in the quality of U.S. tap water (given that we are in a 'replacement era' where our current infrastructure is reaching the end of its lifespan--but isn't being replaced). also guessing that by the 2030s access to drinkable tap water will be a mainstream class issue, with low-income & unstably housed people increasingly forced to rely on expensive bottled water when they can't afford the up-front cost of at-home filtration--and with this being portrayed in media as a "moral failing" and short-sighted "choice," rather than a basic failure of our political & economic systems. really hope i'm just being alarmist, but plenty of this already happens in other countries, and the U.S. is in a state of decline, so. here's praying this post ages into irrelevance. timestamped April 2023
no more humanity for me im just this guy forever:

are disabled people “entitled” or do they just want to exist comfortably in a society that shoves them aside, discards them and is actively hostile toward them?
