yiddish theatre, yiddish newspapers and other yiddish cultural stuff was illegal in israel for years and actively discouraged and attempted to make obsolete, yiddish lectures were disrupted and the israeli state translated the testimonies of holocaust survivors to hebrew rather than keep them in yiddish (the language spoken by most jewish holocaust survivors) but tell me more about how israel and zionism are saving jews and making jewish cultural identity stronger rather than destroying and devaluing jewish diasporic culture 🤔

ultimately the truth about frankenstein is that we are all grotesque amalgamations of the best and worst parts of everyone who came before us. and sometimes the people who are supposed to love us because of and in spite of this will not. and we can kill them with hammers for that. and i think that’s beautiful

i don’t know how to explain to you people that no matter what a country’s government is like i do not and will not support the US indiscriminately bombing that country’s civilians and i don’t know why that’s a controversial take tbh
#civilians are not their governments#especially those in countries without democracy#the people who suffer under sharia law are literally the ones you're killing#you either have a white saviour complex or are positioning yourself as a 'saviour' as a smokescreen for your genocidal actions#ask anyone who thinks this if US civilians should be bombed because they voted in a fascist#you wanna talk about 'threats to peace'?#look at home first

If you are NOT pissed off
you are NOT paying attention

He's also mandated that every school in the state at every grade level have the Bible in every classroom as a textbook. Doesn't that violate the Separation of Church and State Doctrine of The Constitution?
#us politics#uh. what the fuck#the bible thing is honestly not surprising#conservatives who frequently invoke their country's constitution will violate it when it doesn't suit them#but the mandatory teaching of revisionist history is fucking insane#recent history no less#these kids were alive for that

rb with whether people assume you’re older or younger than your actual age
#younger#to the point where there is a comical reaction when people find out my age#it gets very tiring after a while#it's not even the fact i'm at uni because this shit was happening before that#with every single new coworker#it's the baby-faced enthusiastic friendliness i think#i will talk to anyone and ask questions like a curious child in the supermarket#which i don't think is an established thing but those are the vibes

#it's so painful that matt lucas is the one saying this#idk if he wrote it#but if a man who's famous for doing black and brownface can speak these words#then what the fuck else is there to say

never say with eleven words what you could with ten. do not use nine words where ten words will do. only ever write sentences that are exactly ten words long.
