Remembering the time the boys from the church youth group gas lit me about their activities and intentions when my friend was stalked and suffered an attempted rape at the hands of the youth group golden child.

Keshet's progress pride flag but I made it colorblind + photosensitive friendly and added the intersex part

[ID: The intersex inclusive progress pride flag with a Star of David symbol in place of the original triangle. The circle of the intersex part is also a Star of David. /End of ID]

"The ADL is a deeply flawed organization that is discomfitingly eager to lick the boots of the American Right, and that needs to change" and "it's kind of terrifying how non-Jews demonize and vilify the ADL, since its discrediting or abolishment takes advocates and resources away from Jews" are two statements that can and should coexist

Ok so. I despise Trump; I think he’s a monster who has intentionally caused immense suffering and I wish things upon him that I probably shouldn’t admit to in a public post. I also think he hates Jews and used an antisemitic slur because of that. But it really is something to see anti-Zionists going “See, now this what is actual antisemitism looks like,” as if people weren’t setting Jews on fire in the name of anti-Zionism literally just last month.

“Christian” as a name is so funny to me. What if I just named my son Jew

Okay so since I’m in a mood to actually tell it, does anyone want to hear the story of the most questionable vodka I’ve ever had?

If you wrap a squishmallow in a heating pad and cuddle it on the low setting, it's almost as good as feeling safe and loved as a child.

This negative review of the Hillel house on campus is not just cruel and overtly antisemitic but also it’s literally NOT TRUE that there aren’t similar organizations on campus for (non-Jewish) students of color.

There’s the UWSA BIPOC lounge where they hold business markets, art exhibitions, clubs, etc, the Intellectual House which is a meeting place for tribal summits and an education center on indigenous cultures in the US, the Office of Minority Affairs and Diversity which offers various resources for BIPOC students, including the Black Opportunity Fund meant to support opportunities and services for Black students, a mosque on campus, as well as registered student organizations for Afghani students, Bengali students, Black Caribbean students, Arab students generally, Latino and Chicano students, Indigenous American and Pacific Islander students, as well as several Black student organizations and also so many more niche cultural student organizations who specialize in specific fields.

I bring up all of this not to say any of those students somehow have it made on campus/within the university’s institution; they obviously don’t. And I think it’s important to acknowledge how anti-Black Seattle can be in particular, bc it is! There’s not a large Black population in Seattle and Black students at UW are a minority even among racial minority students. Black and (North American/Pacific Islander) Indigenous students, together, make up under 7% of UW’s student population. And that matters.

But acting as if those students don’t have any resources or community on campus actively overlooks all the labor and effort those communities have put in to see themselves represented in student life. Like, why does all that important work not matter to you? How can you find that negligible? Yes, they still deserve more, and better, but that has nothing to do with UW somehow prioritizing Jewish students (which I can promise you they haven’t been doing).

There are two Jewish organizations on campus (a Hillel house and a Chabad house); three if you count the Stroum Center for Jewish Studies. Both Black and Indigenous organizations on campus actually each, respectively, outnumber that. There are about 2500 Jewish students at UW, out of around 52,000 total students on the Seattle campus. I’ve heard from Jewish students that the Chabad house has maybe 30 students who regularly attend there, and the Hillel house maybe 50-60. The Stroum Center is famous for its focus on Sephardic studies and frequently operates jointly with the Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures department.

I promise you that Jewish students on campus don’t even count as a “model” minority. It’s just that the Jewish students and faculty who are actively engaged with their Jewishness (which might even be a minority out of all the Jewish students tbh) are very good at organizing and form a very active and engaged community. It is not their fault that BIPOC students can lack campus resources.

Also how about instead of leaving some fuckass negative review on google maps for no reason you actually got engaged on campus?? Complaining about resources available to BIPOC students and you don’t even know the resources they DO have. And ofc comparing the Holocaust and slavery + segregation is just fucking gross and massively disrespectful to both of those histories.
