no like fr the way that a lot of people look at israelis -- there's no group of people on earth i look at that way. literally no group of people where i'd look at posters of hostages from that group and go "that's obviously genocide propaganda i'm tearing it down." certainly not any group of people where i'd watch a video of their house blowing up and hear a woman crying for her dog in the rubble and point and laugh.

i can't even imagine having that response honestly. i can imagine apathy sure but glee? over people suffering? looking at a whole nationality that way? there's no way

i think that has to corrode your soul. i mean how can't it?

I saw a post saying that Boromir looked too scruffy in FotR for a Captain of Gondor, and I tried to move on, but I’m hyperfixating. Has anyone ever solo backpacked? I have. By the end, not only did I look like shit, but by day two I was talking to myself. On another occasion I did fourteen days’ backcountry as the lone woman in a group of twelve men, no showers, no deodorant, and brother, by the end of that we were all EXTREMELY feral. You think we looked like heirs to the throne of anywhere? We were thirteen wolverines in ripstop.

My boy Boromir? Spent FOUR MONTHS in the wilderness! Alone! No roads! High floods! His horse died! I’m amazed he showed up to Imladris wearing clothes, let alone with a decent haircut. I’m fully convinced that he left Gondor looking like Richard Sharpe being presented to the Prince Regent in 1813

And then rocked up to Imladris a hundred ten days later like

My jewish identity is intrinsically queer and my queer identity is intrinsically jewish; every day, I thank g-d I am a jew and I am queer. If you cannot reconcile this, I don't want to share myself, my time, or my energy with you.

This pride, don't divide yourself for the satisfaction of others. You cannot amputate who you are for the sake of other people's comfort💛✡️

Because if you demonstrate to me that you're willing to set aside concern for truth, evidence, and verifying things with your own eyes whenever it happens to be inconvenient for you, I have a solemn responsibility to make sure you don't get into medical school.

There's this really frustrating goyish idea that Jews are always finding "loopholes" or "tricks" to violate the "spirit of the law" when it comes to observing Jewish law. No, they're following Jewish law. All ways in which one can follow the law are equally "in the spirit of the law" because the law's purpose is to be followed. The idea that finding easier ways to observe religious rules means "tricking" god or doing something otherwise shameful is reflective of Christian philosophy. Suffering is not virtuous in Judaism. Penance is not the purpose of Jewish law. Judaism is meant to enrich the current lives of its community, not ritualize hardship for some unknowable divine purpose.

it took me a minute to realize what this is saying is “Jews came after us (chronologically), they were not the very first (that the Nazis targeted for extermination)” and I’m just…tired. how did the education fail so tremendously here? why do we have to keep explaining this? the Nazis’ first target was the Jews. the entire engine that fueled them was built on Jew hatred.

Wow.

So there's this small tribal group, right? The colonizing power force marched them out of their homeland, and later forced them to live in horrible conditions, adding all of the force of law to do it. But they survived.

Part of the tribal religious beliefs involves the use of sacred baths of pure rainwater in order to cleanse and purify themselves, because the tribe originally came from scrubland and semi-desert. These baths are taken very seriously, to the point that the tribe considers them to be of utmost importance, and any community of them needs to have at least one.

Just recently, an avowed bigot tricked her way into one of the sacred baths in order to profane it. She claimed to be a member of the tribe, and the bath attendants took her at her word. The bigot then videoed herself in the sacred bath--itself an act of sacrilege--and basically did the equivalent of taking a shit in it.

And then, once she was done, she put the video up on TikTok, feeling proud of her sacrilege. She told her followers that if any of the tribal members complained or protested in the comments, she'd delete what they said. Furthermore, she is a member of a group directly associated with a Supremacist organization which has explicitly said they want to wipe out the entire tribe on the grounds of their race.

The bath attendants are terrified and angry, because their sacred bath has been profaned, and the bigot has also broadcast details about their security procedures across the internet. There is a real risk of an attack because of this, especially given the explicit threats from her associated Supremacist organization. Their organization is even looking into trying to charge the bigot with Criminal Trespass, because what she did was that serious.

But nobody seems to care aside from the tribal people. It's extremely disheartening and disturbing.

Let’s build strong interfaith solidarity by refraining from appropriating Jewish rituals.

Here are a few more ‘arguments’ that we didn’t include, but feel we should head off… “But Judaism is the root of Christianity”. We are a living, breathing people and our traditions have continued to live and thrive despite Christian oppression. These traditions came after Jesus and are not for the taking. “But Jesus was the Passover Lamb!” That’s a Christian tradition and has nothing to do with us. There are many beautiful Christian traditions. Go celebrate them. Enjoy them. No need to take ours.

Make sure to share and if you see someone having a Christian seder, educate them!
