Today is January 27th, which is International Holocaust Remembrance Day, and I'd like to get some stuff off my chest.
First, I'd like to take a minute to point out that it is not Yom HaShoah, which is the day Israel (and by extension large portions of the Jewish diaspora population) uses as Holocaust Remembrance day. Yom HaShoah is on the 27th of Nisan, a date that was selected to commemorate the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, centering Jewish resistance in our own story. That date was selected nearly five decades before the UN picked January 27th, which was selected to center our white saviors who came to liberate Auschwitz. This is utter bullshit. And no excuses for not being able to handle a moving date on the Gregorian calendar - April 19th would be the Gregorian equivalent, and it was not selected.
Having said that, given how many infographics I've seen over the last four months about how people are increasingly denying or doubting the Holocaust, I figure any day that acknowledges it is a good thing, so yeah, let's take two days to remember. I think it's worth it.
So given that this is the Holocaust Remembrance Day that centers our goyishe friends, let's talk about how our goyishe friends should observe the day.
1. It is likely that you never learned a lot of details about the Holocaust. Holocaust education usually boils down to, "and the Nazis put Jews in camps in order to kill them, and a lot of Jews were killed in gas chambers, and about 6 million died in all." Go learn some details. Read or watch an account from a survivor. Learn about the medical experiments, or the death marches. Learn some details about what the gas chambers were actually like. Try to understand the horror. Learn about the SS St. Louis or the Evian conference in 1938 where almost every country on Earth decided it was better to let the Jews die in Germany than to allow them into their own countries.
2. On that note, take the time to understand that anti-semitism neither began nor ended with the Nazis, and that even the "good guys" were incredibly antisemitic.Try to recognize that the antisemitism that was present where you live right now in the 1930s didn't just disappear, it just went into hiding. Think about where it might be hiding now.
Basically, because this is the Holocaust Remembrance Day for the goyim, I want to focus our remembrance of what happened on the goyim. What did they do? What could they have done to help? Why didn't they? We can come back in May for more Jewish focused learning, but the Holocaust could not have happened without A LOT of willing goyim, and I think we should spend the day remembering them and their actions.
And as a side note: if you happen to read this and you've chosen to spend the day engaging in Holocaust denial or Holocaust inversion, then know that my hope for you is that something happens in your life to teach you empathy and basic human decency. And I hope it isn't pleasant for you.

I can only be the captain of one lying and scheming rich boy's apology team in Sunset x Vibes, but I can't figure out which brother I like more, so I need to rewatch the episode.
Sam is winning, mainly because of his glasses and puppy-dog eyes.
And I also like that he held onto Yotha in the gayest way possible as he rubbed his chest to calm him down.
However, I moved on too quickly from Sun tying Lin's robe and covering him up.
I didn't appreciate this rich boy catering to Lin quite enough AND showing he understands how to properly care for his partner in more than one way.
So as adorable as I think Sam is, and even though I love their brotherly bond so far
Sam's glasses are fake
And he did drop Yotha
So he has proven it'll be tough to excuse some of his choices.
Therefore, I am now the captain of Sun's defense squad.
And my boy has never done anything wrong in his entire life!
Which includes lying to Lin even when directly questioned multiple times, trying to skip out on important work events so he can try to woo Lin even though he just became the interim president, getting his brother to sneakily run interference for him so he can send Lin's entire team snacks that Lin refuses to eat, blowing up Lin's phone asking for forgiveness, tasking his assistant to figure out a way to get Lin on an international trip with him which includes his assistant having to manipulate his boyfriend in the process, *catches breath*
And most of all, the stack of HR violations he is about to accrue by sleeping with an intern as the PRESIDENT OF HIS COMPANY!
My boy has simply fallen in love for the first time at the age of 32 and his entire world is being turned upside down because of it.
He'll find his footing though.
Or get really good at begging for forgiveness since he has already proven he does well on his kn-- *gets yanked off stage*
*runs back while security chases me* KNEES!

Guys. GUYS. listen to me- kate carter is a natural brunette. no i’m not just saying that because daisy edgar jones has brown hair naturally, there’s a picture of young kate and her mom that is shown in the scene where she comes back home. I caught it on my second rewatch. I mean ofc you could chalk up her darker roots to it just being a dirty blonde but no, she really is a brunette.
Which brings me to this thought- I wonder what Tyler’s reaction (along with the others ofc) would be when they see Kate with brown hair. Let’s say her blonde dye was growing out enough for her to decide to dye it back. Maybe she does it when she went back to NY for a bit before going back to Oklahoma. Will there be chaos? Definitely. Will Tyler Owens get a heart attack? Duh. Like, imagine the possibilities guys, hellooo

I can't stand ship wars but I physically can't restrain myself when I see my faves mentioned in the comments of a video that says smth like "when there's a disgusting ship that makes you sick to your stomach but for some reason it's popular"
Cuz they gotta be rage-bait, ain't no way you're saying bkdk or stsg or itafushi or killugon or sns or erasermic or any other perfectly normal ship instead of naming shit like gojo x yuuji?
Saw someone say "any ship that isn't canon" and I started laughing, some y'all really hate fun huh
