that post isn't written well at all but i just feel so disheartened by people rushing to contextualize the present horrors as a future historical moment. like you already want to move past it.
it doesn't matter now but it will matter to someone, some day.
what a horrible, unempathetic way to view the world. to attempt to remove yourself from the moment and decide we should all act as unfeeling, objective witnesses to things we should be working to prevent.

new idea
so i used to ballroom dance and the issue was that there were never enough boys for all the girls who wanted to dance. which makes sense because dancing is frequently considered "girly" even though it requires all this strength and perseverance, which are typically considered "manly." not that I agree with any of that but that's the general perception of society
now consider: girls in suits are way hot
what if some of the extra girls decided to learn the guys' part instead and just got dressed up all hot in whatever the guy would wear and so you could get lesbians competing??? ??
Also this could go the other way tbh I would love to see a couple of guys in long flowy dresses like slay

Sometimes I feel like the fox is my fursona platonic ideal
It's literally perfect and impossible to attain. How dare I think my fursona would be a fox? I am not worthy. The Fox is not something I can be. I can only contemplate it.

I could think of no better way to share the news than this!
So when I was 17, my cat went missing and I'd given up hope of ever seeing him again.
Until on Monday, 27th of May, 2024, my friend sent me a FB post asking 'isn't that your mother?' about the person named on the microchip.
Here he is! 16 years old, and found safe, twelve whole years after he went missing!
Yesterday (Tuesday the 28th of May, 2024) I went to the rescue that had him, and I reclaimed my boy, renaming him Artie! (He'd originally been called 'Cat' because my mother and I couldn't decide on a name)
He's home safe with me now, currently inhabiting my bathroom and purring up a storm every time someone goes in there!
I'll be doing slow introductions between him and my current cat to give them the best possible chance of living in harmony!
Here's some pictures of Artie once we let him out of the carrier:

Jew here with a friendly reminder that:
Criticizing Isreal ≠ antisemetic
Supporting Palestine ≠ antisemitic
Believing in the Free Palestine cause ≠ antisemitic
BUT ALSO
A random ass Jew just living their life oceans away has nothing to do with the Isreal-Palestine conflict
Palestinian Jews exist
Jews that support Palestine exist (I am one of them)
Calling out ACTUAL antisemitism ≠ supporting Isreal
