at any protest

police: you’ll notice that we have not murdered anyone yet. we think that’s very nice of us. we’re being very restrained. you guys should meet us halfway and go home without any of your complaints being addressed, that would be a great compromise.

It’s time to start gearing up and get organized.

Prisons do not disappear social problems, they disappear human beings. Homelessness, unemployment, drug addiction, mental illness, and illiteracy are only a few of the problems that disappear from public view when the human beings contending with them are relegated to cages

No, one cannot be proud of their Nazi “heritage”.

Today in class, we discussed case studies having to do with ethical dilemmas in student affairs. One of them involved a student hanging a Confederate flag in his dorm room, thereby angering African American students on his floor. According to the case study, the student who hung the flag argued that he was honoring his great-grandfather, who fought for the Confederate army. The group that presented the case study to the class - which included an African American woman - decided that the student had the right to privately display the flag.

And then our professor asked the question that made the rest of class highly unpleasant for me: “What if it were a swastika?”

I, as the only Jewish person in the class (and in my entire school, I’m pretty sure), felt obligated to comment. I essentially said that if I knew someone had a swastika displayed in their room, I could do nothing other than avoid them and let them be “horrible” somewhere other than in my presence. Then, one of my peers said it was unfair to “assume” such a person was horrible. That you cannot judge someone on what they come from. I returned that no one should be proud of being a descendant of a Nazi. She replied: “Why?” and added that we cannot categorize an entire group of people as awful. To which another peer added that many of them “didn’t have a choice” because “their own lives were on the line”.

I was outnumbered, hurt, and angry. So I shut down. But here’s what I have to say now.

If someone has any sort of Nazi paraphernalia for purposes other than the preservation of history, they are horrible. If your grandfather was a Nazi, I don’t judge you. If your grandfather was a Nazi and you condone his actions or are proud of his “service”, I want absolutely nothing to do with you.

Here’s the thing. The Confederate army fought a war. They had a cause, wrong as it was. The Nazis committed a genocide. They tortured and murdered men, women, and children in unthinkable ways. And unless they were plucked off the street as young boys and brainwashed by the Nazi party, they had choices. If someone were to tell me I would be killed unless I herded thousands of innocent people into gas chambers, I would take a bullet to the head without a second thought.

The Nazis almost wiped my people off the face of the Earth. Which is why I sat as the lone Jewish girl in a classroom full of peers who had no idea how much pain their words were causing.

My van just got towed

If you’ve been around my tumblr for a while, you’ve probably seen that I spent a good portion of the last few months homeless and living in my van. I’ve been staying on a friend’s couch for a couple of weeks so I could shower and stuff, but today my van got towed, with all my life’s belongings in it. The landlord said there’s nothing they can do about it, and I am still without a job so I have no way to pay to get my van back. I’m begging you, please, if you have a few dollars to spare, kindly throw them my way, I need to get my van out as soon as possible.

new genre concept: soft apocalypse

the world as we know it has ended and mother nature starts taking back what’s hers. there are no zombies or cannibals or murderous bandits. the most valued members of the community are those who know how to garden and farm, sew and weave, treat wounds, work wood or build with bricks, cook from scratch. 

people bond together to begin rebuilding instead of killing each other. everyone teaches each other whatever they do know and works together to figure out the stuff none of them know. books become incredibly valued resources because they’re often the only way to learn critical information. if someone is elderly, disabled, or otherwise unable to work at the same level as most of the community, they’re taken care of by the others, not told any sort of “survival of the fittest” bs.

as the generations ware on, communities begin expanding into small cities. some of the settlements even find ways to repurpose solar or wind power on a small scale and have electricity in some of their buildings. storytellers wander the countryside telling tales of the old world in return for some hot stew or a place to rest for the night, and the mythos of the new world start to incorporate elements of the past. the only thing that remains constant is that humans survive, and they do it by working together.

Demisexual means you only feel sexual attraction selectively, as opposed to the rest of us, who would mount a termite hill if it wasn’t so full of termites.
