the punk scene is incredibly unwelcoming to jewish people because everyone is either a nazi, or puts their hatred of nazis above the safety of jewish people. in fact, most of these anti-nazi punks don’t know anything about jews and hating nazis is just a convenient target of their anger. in this essay i will

here’s the essay. most anti-nazi punks do not give a single fuck about jewish/roma people. in fact, they threaten us when we speak up about how the way theyre handling being anti-nazi actually hurts us. they are not anti-nazi for us.

for example: the crossed out swastika patch. widely used by goyim, widely hated by jewish/roma punks. super triggering for jewish/roma people! i don’t want to see a hate symbol widely used in my spaces!!

and here’s the thing: white punks do not care. they dont give a fuck. ive literally been told “this patch isnt for you” and “if it triggers you the punk scene isnt for jews.” NOT FOR ME? WHY ARE YOU ANTI NAZI THEN? if your hatred of nazis isnt out of love and support for jews and roma its coming from the wrong place!!

support and protection for minorities ALWAYS has to come before hatred for and antagonizing our oppressors!! ive literally been threatened by white/goy punks for saying they dont get a say in how a hate symbol targeted at jewish/romani people is handled.

white/goy punks do not care about us. they do not support us. they do not listen to us. we are not protected by them.

please listen to this ^^^ queer jewish women raised me in the punk scene and this was one of the first lessons they taught me. don’t trust anyone with ANY kind of nazi imagery, even if it is crossed out. those people either don’t care about the safety and well-being of jewish and roma people, or if they do care then they have been sorely misled about how to show it. educate your peers and avoid the ones actively refusing to understand

This is why the brushing aside of colonization because “well that was my ancestors not me” doesn’t work. You still benefit from it. You still perpetuate the effects of it. If white people weren’t like their ancestors? They would give these people their land back and let them decide how to move forward. 

Denying them housing on their own land? Being in a position to do that? Is certainly as colonizer as it gets. You are living your ancestors dreams.

Look I clown veganism often enough but really, truly, don’t ever fucking feed somebody something without their knowledge or consent. It’s hugely fucked up and not OK.

also if someone hasn’t eaten meat in a while… or ever… they will get incredibly sick if they just start eating meat again.

|| Please don’t do this. Not just with vegans/ vegetarians, but with ANYONE you don’t know very well. You never know what they may or may not be allergic to, their abilities o(or lack thereof) to digest certain things, dietary needs and restrictions, religious beliefs requiring them to abstain from the consumption of certain foods and about a thousand other things.

Some people are legitimately allergic to thd proteins in certain meats and can’t even eat anything cooked in the same pan as X meat product/s.

I’m vegan but couldn’t care less if others aren’t, not an overwhelming number of (not all, just alot, unfortunately) non vegans find things like this funny.

Quick reminder: Sometimes people say “I’m vegan” or “I’m vegetarian” because its easier/faster/begets fewer annoying questions than the longer explanation.

As an epidemiologist I can list a few of the more annoying longer explanations that no one wants to have to explain to every person who ever offers them food:

- You drank water contaminated with giardia, which gave you 3 weeks of diarrhea followed by 3 years of lactose intolerance

- You were bitten by a Lone Star Tick and developed an allergy to beef and pork because the Lone Star Tick is a bastard

- You are Jewish and the meat isn’t kosher, but you don’t want to say that because antisemitism is A Thing and you don’t want to get bombarded with questions about the Middle East while you’re hungry

- You are Muslim and the meat isn’t halal, but you don’t want to say that because Islamophobia is A Thing and you don’t want to get bombarded with questions about the Middle East while you’re hungry

- You are on a restricted diet for medical reasons and don’t want to get bombarded with questions about your medical history while you’re hungry

- You are on a restricted diet for reasons that *are nobody’s business* and don’t want to get pulled into Potentially Triggering Diet Talk while you’re hungry.

Listen. Food can be very very complicated for people, and a very very very sensitive subject. Respect people’s food restrictions. None of it is your business.

i learned that in August 2014 Women’s Voices for the Earth commissioned testing of four types of Always menstrual pads, manufactured by Procter & Gamble. The certified laboratory STAT Analysis Corporation analyzed the products for volatile organic compound.

“The results of the testing indicate that both scented and unscented Always pads emit toxic chemicals, including chemicals identified by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services National Toxicology Program, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, and the State of California Environmental Protection Agency as carcinogens, and reproductive and developmental toxins. None of these chemicals are disclosed on the product by the manufacturer.” (x)

i switched back to these after using fancy organic cotton pads during my most recent period & they caused PROBLEMS out of the blue - 100% confirmed, these are not good to use

been using these reusable menstrual pads since november 2019 and im never going back to these commercial pads. commercial pads like these always gives me skin rashes which is so annoying. switch to reusable i swear you’ll not only be period-ready but also rashes-free!

psa they also have a starter pack in case you want to switch and you dont know what to get and an xl size for plus sized women!

EXPLAINS ALOT. WOULDVE BEEN NICE TO KNOW AWHILE AGO. COOOOOOL.

something that stands out to me about Gillian Flynn’s writing is she’s the only author I can think of who presents fucked-up women as her protagonists take them or leave them, and doesn’t try to make them “likeable”. Gone Girl is a thorough deconstruction of the male author self-insert, and I think the reason the reception to Amy was so polarized is because she’s treated the same way characters like Nick are treated by male-penned literature - her flaws are vital to the meaning of the story and therefore will not be grown out of. Sharp Objects was the first time I had ever read a female protagonist who was allowed to be self-loathing without wanting a “cure” for her trauma. Gillian Flynn’s women aren’t tailored to the male gaze idea that damaged women have to be alluring or sympathetic or desiring to be “fixed” - if men can have a thousand Holden Caulfields, why can’t women have one Camille Preaker or Amy Elliott?

EDIT: this post is making its way around terf circles and I have to laugh. yall literally have the same politics as the gop, none of you get to call yourselves allies of women.
