“We Are Inclined To Think Of Peace-time As A Condition In Which Nothing Particular Happens; In Which

“We are inclined to think of peace-time as a condition in which nothing particular happens; in which we can put our feet on the mantelpiece and retire into our private lives, leaving the status quo to maintain itself. There is no surer preparation for war. The maintenance of peace requires a perpetual vigilance, because as life goes on and conditions change the balance needs ever fresh movement to keep it stable. In other words, peace is an active and not a passive condition.”

— Dorothy L. Sayers, in Begin Here: A War-Time Essay (1940), applying entropy to peace.

Yeah, it pains me so much. I have so much other things to say, but I'm arguing online with bigoted idiots. And even my art suffers from that, that I have to use as a sort of autotherapy for the vitriol of the web.

every jewish person's tumblr is now a jewish tumblr.

I have seen so, so many tumblrs post something like, "This used to be my x blog, but ever since Oct 7 I've just been posting Jewish stuff." Because we're all suddenly drowning in antisemitism and reaching out to each other to build community to combat that.

It would be nice if Jewish life could go back to not revolving around antisemitism. But then, a part of me says, that was all it was before the Shoah; maybe it was just the time from afterward until Oct 7th that was the unusual part. Maybe this is what it'll be for the rest of our lives.

If I can add to this, I have been working on this theme quite recently, and actually made a movie around it (not only). Reclamation of the diaspora, but a nomadic diaspora. A widespread community of dancers, forging future with movement (through borders and choreography). Ofc a lot of personal stuff too. Watch it, support your trans yid sister. English subtitles are there.

as a Jew I find the antisemitic trope of the Wandering Jew endlessly fascinating and there’s a version of it that lives rent free in my head that I can’t get out

because yes, we have been cursed—not by G-d, but by man; not for anything we’ve done, but for libel against us—and the curse antisemites have forced on us is that we must wander forever. we don’t get a home, here or there. we aren’t allowed to put down roots in diaspora, but we aren’t allowed to return either; regardless of which we do, the nations try to drive us out and impose their sentence on us: you must wander some more

there is a deconstructed version of the Wandering Jew that I want to reclaim, not as a testament to our sin but as a witness to the nations’, how they’ve treated the wanderer in their midst. on some level, a witness to how the nations treat all wanderers: Jew, Roma, bedouin. but ultimately, a testament to the libel & persecution we as Jews have endured & persevere through

this Wandering Jew is a weary old immortal forced to wander by hatred that goes before him through the nations, who has seen those nations come and go, empires rise and fall, and bears witness to our plight through every one, waiting for injustice to be righted so he can finally rest

I'm so fucking tired. I need rest. I need a slow feast with friends. I need to not be occupied by bullshit. Our hope is to return. One needs to be well rested to ponder. Otherwise you just slide on the surface. One more week. Our hope is to return. Freedom, the stopping of history. Raised fist, a victorious feeling. I write this on a toilet.
