The Kohn family at Ellis Island, 1904. They arrived in the aftermath of the Kishinev pogrom, where the father’s sister had been murdered.

We can talk about how there’s definitely a racism/Islamaphobia issue in a lot of Jewish communities without…*flips through notebook* literal saying Jewish people should assimilate and give up their Jewishness (ie cultural genocide)

These antisemites are getting way too comfortable and I don’t like it

It's okay to not know who's fronting.

Not everyone knows who's fronting all the time, and that's okay! You don't have too. It's normal to be unable to discern who's fronting. Sometimes you don't realize someone's fronting with you. Sometimes you realize but can't figure out who it is. Sometimes you don't even know if you're fronting. Being "blurry" is common for us, especially after, during, and before front switches. Like right now! It's okay.

It's okay to not know.

I don't recall there being waves of attacks against Chinese people for what their government is doing to Uyghurs, or Russians for their country's attack on Ukraine. I haven't seen anyone randomly attacking diaspora Indians or Hindus for what they believe is a genocide against Pakisanis. I don't see any of their community centers or places of worship getting set on fire or constant bomb and shooting threats connected to a perception of their country's actions. I dont see waves of protests that shut down campuses and ban Chinese, Russian, or Indian students from crossing to get to class.

Call me crazy but it seems like people just have a rabid hatred of Jews. Maybe the "death to Israel" crowd is antisemitic after all.

it’s crazy how absolutely blatantly luigi’s constitutional rights are being breached and people seem more concerned about his appearance than a real, scary view of the power CEOs and the healthcare industry have over the legal system. like yeah he looks good in those photos i can appreciate that too but can we focus on the fact that the media is absolutely treating him as if he has already been found guilty. this could happen to anyone. anyone could be arrested over the death of a wealthy, influential person and the precedent being set right now is essentially that the prosecution can run wild and create documentaries declaring your guilt. like that’s really serious and scary.

illegal immigration is swag and epic and i salute everyone who does it. personally i think if you can afford to move somewhere you should be allowed to live there no questions asked. actually even if you cant afford it, it's not like i can afford to live here either. who give a shit.

In recent years of Dr who the doctor generally doesn't use physical violence due to his moral scruples but in 60s who the doctor generally didn't use physical violence bcos he was delegating it to whichever handsome 21 year old boy he was toting around

One of the funniest things in Star Trek is that baseball has completely vanished from human culture by the 24th century and Sisko is seen as something of a weirdo for being so into it, meanwhile Worf was on his school soccer team and Bashir almost became a tennis pro.

It's really fucked up when you treat characters like people and people like characters.

I tried to join a discord server for discussing THE SIMS. The video game with digital people in it. The sims. And was greeted with this:

Apparently thinking my family shouldn’t be brutally raped and murdered simply because of where they were born is “hate speech”

The weirdest part of being a Jew in the modern age is searching for the word “Palestine” before following a new blog (and when receiving a new follower).

Like a game of “so does this person believe I deserve human rights orrrrrr”
