the other infuriating thing happening rn is people picking all the wrong enemies and having extremely little empathy or comprehension with Jews like. Frankly. A LOT of the loud voices on behalf of Jewish students rn or against antisemitism are coming from right wing and really conservatively pro-Israel Jews and organizations - or from republicans eager to make this into a partisan problem. Yet people have taken this to mean that Jews are inherently a right wing action group, rather than the reverse - the majority of Jews in America, and certainly I’d assume the majority of Jews at these campuses, are on their side. Furthermore, the majority of Jews, ranging from committed antizionists on their protest encampments to many nonzionists and liberal Zionists - and Jews who know how ambiguous all three of these categorizations are, depending on who you talk to - are not republicans or supporters of right wing Zionism and would love not to become a Republican plaything and are, for the most part, abiding by the central leftist issue of shutting the FUCK up when the cops or media ask about problems hurting them in a cause many support. Like I wish people would look at the presence of Jews in protest movements as a “wow my Jewish comrades are being incredibly and unbelievably brave swallowing and dealing with attacks on their own identity because of how strongly and truly they believe in the cause of a ceasefire and Palestinian liberation” not “haha no antisemitism here that’s a whole Zionist psyop out to get us who could never be antisemitic to Jewish People”

it’s confusing as hell because republicans have weaponised this into the ultimate partisan issue but people have got to be smarter about picking their enemies

April 27th is International Crow and Raven Appreciation Day! My comic Crow time is pretty much stuffed to the brim with crows, so it's a good way to celebrate these goth little dudes.

READ CROW TIME!

OR GET PLUSH GOTH BOI?? WOW!

Concept: the extraterrestrial ship captain approaches Human Steve after months of their service, having uncovered an Earth Artifact at great cost.

“Human Steve, I have procured this recording! The seller told me it was a rare, preserved copy of a ‘pop song’, and I wanted to present it to you as a gift of gratitude.”

Human Steve tears open the package and half smiles, half tears up - it’s one of those single-MP3 players from the late 90s, too scratched up to read the song title. He doesn’t expect it to work, but when he taps the play button, a tinny noise crackles out of the speaker.

His face falls.

“Ha ha, Agrax, very funny.”

The ship captain looks confused. “What do you mean, Human Steve?”

“Of all of the ‘pop songs’, this one? Really? Entirely on coincidence?!”

“Does this particular song have a cultural significance to you, Human Steve?”

“Yeah, it does, Agrax, it’s a–” Human Steve sighs. “You know what, it’s complicated. I’ll explain it some other time. Thanks for the gift.”

As Human Steve shuffles off down the corridor, the ship captain opens up their log and makes a careful note.

Stardate 2074.3 : Achievement accomplished. I have successfully Rickrolled Human Steve.

Reminder: Jewish indigeneity is not a threat to any other ethnic group. It’s just a fact. Acknowledging Jews as indigenous to the levant doesn’t actually harm any Palestinians. Palestinian indigeneity does not actually rely on Jews NOT being indigenous. Multiple peoples can be indigenous to the same place.

The two year-old is now a solid two and a half. Just now, he was sitting on the couch playing with his pretend flip phone and he frowned and said “for gods sake. My battery is empty.”

The other day at breakfast I asked him if he was going to eat any more of his oatmeal and he said “no, I think I’m just gonna move on with my life.”

The Iranian Regime is going to execute rapper Toomaj Salehi for supporting protests of Jina Amini’s murder by the regime in his songs.

Iranian activist Elica Le Bon says, “Iranians in the diaspora picked up on the fact that the regime tends not to execute people who become known to the international community. We have seen many examples of prisoners that were either released on bail or had their sentences commuted through our “say their names to save their lives” campaign on social media, using hashtags to garner attention for their causes, and even before social media existed, through getting the stories of political prisoners to international media outlets. Once reported on, and once the eyes shift to the regime and the reality of its pending brutality, realizing that the action is not worth the repercussions, we have seen them back down and not execute. For that reason, this is part of an urgent campaign for readers to talk about Toomaj as much as you can, using the hashtag #FreeToomaj or #ToomajSalehi. Every comment makes a difference, and if we were wrong, what did we lose by trying?”
