I just watched the production of Fiddler on the Roof on at the moment in London. If you're UK based, I 100% urge you to go - the run has been extended.
What really hit me, as I have never seen it before which is shocking as I'm Jewish and a musical theatre person, is how my family fled Lviv and Kharkiv to escape pogroms and expulsions and I sat there watching the show and all I could think was "that would ahve been me".
I don't think people understand how much we, as Jews, do not forget the persecution we have faced. Not because we are here "holding grudges" or whatever but because it was literally our grandparents where are offer STILL ALIVE who were survivors of european antisemetism. My grandfather's family came by foot from Kharkiv to the UK and I will absolutely be telling my children how resilient their foreparents were.
People may have forgotten what their grandparents did to ours, but don't worry because we never will.

In the Cards is a fantastic episode just for the 1 - 2 combo of 1) Julian without hesitation declaring his childhood teddy bear would be the one thing that would make him happy right now and agreeing to get Jake and Nog what they want if they get him Kukalaka and 2) the reveal that Leeta fucking stole it and has been sleeping with it

also this is the reason why i hate the whole discussion about "oh can we still say hermaphrodite in science discussions" because like. you all do not fucking understand the weight of the word. what it feels like when someone calls you a hermaphrodite when you are fearing for your fucking life. the amount of times i had to call myself a hermaphrodite because no one fucking knew what intersex meant but i needed to find a way to disclose that to clients so i didn't end up assaulted again when they were surprised. you don't know how much i fucking hated myself for that and what that was fucking like to experience at 16. like. that is what that word means to me! that's what i think of when i hear it! lots of other intersex people have their own stories, their own ways this slur was weaponized against us and written down in our medical records and a million fucking things. so i really don't want to hear from dyadic people who have never had this slur used against them about how hard it is to find an alternative word and how they just really really need to be able to still say it because of all the scientific discussions that are happening all the time or whatever. literally fuck off i don't care

why is it so hard for me to believe that someone actually cares about me and isn’t always going to replace me at any given moment
