Hey I have an idea. What if we did, like, the BIGGEST mutual aid program EVER. Like. Literally everybody pays into it so it'll have a TON of resources. And then!! It'll give aid to literally everyone. Everyone. And it'll do everything! Healthcare, education, even shit like roads and bridges, small business loans, crazy stuff. It'll be so much more efficient to have everyone in this one system than to have, like, a million different nonprofits reinventing the wheel in a million different ways. Especially if everyone has to pay into the system instead of, like, only donating to the stuff they like. Yeah, yeah I know it'll take a lot of organizing to run this system. So since everyone participates in this mutual aid, here's what we do. Once in a while, we all get together, and we pick who's gonna run the mutual aid system—

"The state can't be trusted to kill the right people but I, some random person, can be" is an attitude that directly leads to mob "justice" like lynchings btw.

As a Jew and even more specifically as a Jewish woman: Tim Burton might call his story the Corpse Bride, but it is not.

He stole and ripped off from our folklore to make that thing and let me tell that is not Corpse Bride. She might be a corpse and she might be a bride, but she is not a Corpse Bride.

That is our story, our history, our pain, our trauma, and our way of dealing with lack of dignity given to our daughters and sisters in death, about the rape they didn't survive, and about the horrific and lonely murder done to them.

It how we cope with the loss of our family, our loves, our friends, our community members, and how we envision them returning home to us.

It is not some generic story about a dead woman or funny mistakes or wacky songs or worms in ears.

It is about tragedy. It about permanent loss. It is about the desperate hope to have your child's bones be returned. It is a warning for brides and it is reminder for brides of the strength inside of them.

It is a story that is found in every Jewish Diaspora community no matter the setting because it happened to every Jewish community in Diaspora.

Our daughters were taken before they could be married and as they were adorned in their bridal wear. And then they were raped, murdered, and left to rot in some unknown place. Never to be found. For not even in death could they return home.

So we made a story about our daughters coming home so that their bones could rest with family and community.

This is a Jewish story.

So this "corpse bride" from Tim Burton is no Corpse Bride. She is mockery of our pain and trauma. It is spits on our Corpse Brides.

I would still use my turn signals in the Mad Max Wasteland. They'd call me "Signal" because I'd hit my blinker before ramming the enemy hot rods into the side of a desert ravine. I'd use my turn signal every time. They would respect me for this.

I hope you will find some moments of peace and joy and contentment.

I love you. <3

My evil jewish plot of not wanting to be killed

[goatfactsofficial]

i think about this post a lot

[goatfactsofficial]

there's a jewish story about a rich man who goes to his rabbi to ask him about building an orphanage, and the rabbi is like "yeah duh go for it!!" and then later the rich guy comes back and is like "actually I've decided not to... I was just doing it for my own image and not coz I cared about orphans" and the rabbi was like "bitch the orphans don't care why you're building the orphanage!!!" and sometimes I wish I could say that to lefties who haven't unpacked their christian upbringing. sometimes motives don't matter!! who give a fuck why a politician wants to do a good thing? bitch the orphans don't!!
