Anyway, daily reminder from a culturally isolated Romani person.

Gypsy does not mean wanderer.

It literally means ‘people from egypt’ or similar, as europeans believed Romani people were from Egypt. It has become known similar to nomad due to how our ancestors have been forced to be nomadic due to racism and ostracization, but it is a SLUR.

Romani people are STILL being forcibly sterilized.

Romani people are STILL being forced into ghettos.

Romani people are still facing violence and danger in countless European countries- and recently, I’ve seen the beginnings of the extremes in the United States.

Have a little fucking respect and DON’T USE A SLUR THAT’S BEEN USED FOR CENTURIES AGAINST US.

And for the love of whatever’s up there, ESPECIALLY do not use it to describe your witchcraft. It is playing on the ‘magic gypsy’ trope, and is EXTREMELY insulting.

non romani people, please reblog this.

I know we talk about the oxen a lot, but there's some wild fun stuff in the Talmud too. An incomplete list:

rabbi dick measuring contest

a king's 1am influencer bro routine

"King David had 400 sons and they were all hot"

an argument about the legality of literally fucking yourself

HOA rules for where windows on your house can go

"as we all know, werewolves have tails in human form"

two guys who got off on charges for homosexuality by telling the witness that it was two witnesses against one

judge using fruit to prove eye witness testimony is unreliable

"quarrels are like peeing"

a bunch of rabbis defining different types of bed and one of the definitions they use is a bed specifically for throwing your clothes on

someone insisting that the law saying "you need a jury of x amount of people" means that x should be half the jury + 1 resulting in the suggestion that you need a jury of 45 people for a murder trial

your mom jokes

"why does it say Solomon had 4000 horses AND that he had 40,000 horses?" "he had 160 million horses"

science more questionable than Pliny

the demand that a captive bear who killed someone be present at the trial

diagram of punishments for illegal haircuts

"in order for a town to be big enough to have a court it needs to have 10 idlers of the synagogue"

a rabbi claiming that you can only be a judge on the national court if you're a hot wizard

In conclusion: the Sages would do numbers on tumblr.

It is genuinely fucking mind boggling that some people think it's good for Iran to have nukes because "they aren't going to actually use them. It's a preventative measure against the US and Israel"

Oh I didn't know that you have more Intel than over 30 countries about irans intentions with nukes. Please enlighten me, random person online who has no relevant qualifications or experience, do tell me more so I can believe you instead of 30+ fucking countries

I catch a glimpse of the anti-zionist side of tumblr sometimes and it seems like they may be arguing about whether Steven Universe or Brother Bear offers more insight into the situation with Iran. theres more context to it than that but. not much

Just to be 100% crystal clear - if you come into my space saying "No such thing as an innocent Palestinian" I'm going to block your hateful, bigot, monstrous arse just as fucking quickly as I do the ones who say "No such thing as an innocent Israeli" because you're two sides of the exact same grotesque, inhuman coin.

you heard it here first guys. basic sociology is Zionist propaganda. not believing in race science is also Zionist propaganda. thank G-d they openly call themselves illiterate, at least they have some semblance of self awareness

Why is it "not in our name" when it's Israel, which you don't have a citizenship in, but not when it's people in your movement murdering people in your country

Poll: Antisemitic or not (Jews only)

I bring a "zionism is first and foremost a term and philosophy for jews that was co-opted by both sides of the political spectrum because they aren't allowed to say kike anymore" vibe to the function that frankly makes a lot of people uncomfortable

My mother sent me a “I’m not dead in the air strike please tell your grandparents” message today so sorry if I don’t think American’s WWIII draft jokes are in good taste

I know we shouldn't listen to anyone with "Soviet" in their username, but "Iran is a progressive country which has continuously worked for the world's liberation" has me, like, reeling. Where can I get the crack this person and all their noble comrades are smoking? I would really love some.
