Two Beta Israel (Ethiopian Jewish) men rejoice during Simchat Torah. x
a jew will make a post about grieving the world they thought they lived in while trying to bring attention to the obscene acts of antisemitism being enacted across the fucking globe at rates we’ve not seen in several decades, not mentioning israel or zionism whatsoever
and some human piece of fecal matter will always swoop in to explain that op is in fact an evil (((zionist))) because anyone who cares about the wellbeing of jews must secretly be an agent of israel and don’t you know that people only talk about antisemitic violence to give antizionists a bad name
Christian media: "Scroll if you support the Devil, but stay for salvation from our savior, Jesus Christ"
Jewish media: "HOLY SHIT HOW ARE WE NOT DEAD?!"
I will always be Jewish but I will never be Jewish enough

Just a friendly reminder that if you see my often used Krampus design in the wild uncredited to please be super chill when calling it out! It is usually a case of people thinking it is a vintage copyright free clip art piece and being kind about it helps me have a more successful, pleasant encounter. I modeled this illustration to look like an old Gruss Vom Krampus postcard and I guess it is a little too successful.
Now I don't want to make an excuse for the folks tracing the piece without acknowledging the source but a lot of non artists slap it on stuff and are most likely under the impression it is not a modern illustration. It’s been around since 2009 and used to be a source of anxiety seeing it used so much around this time of year but it's something I have made peace with ( also I'm just very tired lol) Looking back, most people who did accidentally use it ended up being decent and pleasant to deal with so that's pretty cool....
I’m glad that it’s seemed to have have a lot of influence on Krampus depictions and has sort of snuck into being accepted as this authentic antique artwork. It would be nice to see my name attached to all of the posts that use him but much like many other online artists, sometimes a dumb thing you made just gets out from under you and fighting it is like fighting the sea. A sea of clippty cloppity, long tongued naughty goat men! Anyway if you want me to get paid for this illustration you can buy the shirt here: https://shirt.woot.com/offers/greetings-from-krampus
A Palestinian child's plans after the war
She wrote
1) 30 days delivery
2) watch the TV and stay up and eat all that I want
3) go wherever I want
4) talk with my father for hours everyday
5) buy a lot of cute clothes
6) travel insha'Allah and see my dad
7) convince my dad to travel to uncle Mostafa and uncle Mohammed
8) go out of gaza and go to Switzerland
In the end she wrote:
* insha'Allah my plans happen*
Her name was sila and she will never see those plans achieved because she was killed like many PALESTINIAN children .
End this genocide
And free Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸
Honestly, it’s probably the best decision for the trans community to abolish “AM/FAB”
met a trans woman who was going to be a potential new roommate. she wanted to see a picture of me to know i was a real person. after seeing my selfie she asked me "AFAB on T?" i felt the most dysphoric i had felt in years- its one thing to have cis people ask me things like this, but it's a huge slap in the balls to hear things like this from other trans people.
we are in the "nobody cares what gender you were assigned at birth" community. don't single people out or try to assume their AGAB- if you're trans and don't want people asking you about your AGAB, the other trans person almost definitely feels the same way. respect people's privacy and identity- attempting to profile other trans people by what their bodies look like is violence.

apart from a small community of indiviuals with matzo ball fever, no one has ever significantly fetishized judaism. this is because judaism is not particularly cool. we dont have the hardcore metal deathsex imagery of the christians nor do we have the white-america-scaring streed cred of islam. and now thanks to zionism fully showing its hand as a cornball nazi crybaby ideology we will probably never be able to be cool either unless we bring back our communist roots by significantly reviving bundism or smth. its all so embarassing frankly. all we have atp is uncut gems
Jewish culture is so rad. The humor and the cooperative overlapping and the sprinkles of Jewish languages peppering a conversation that feels like little fireworks in my brain. The pragmatism, emphasis on learning and education, the food obsession, the insults are on another level. How completely unserious we can be. The superstitions and folklore and social mores. The way that we can all instantly clock a JVP faker at a hundred paces. The ease and connection that every single Jew has with each other. It’s so healing and it feels like a warm bath for me.
