When I don’t wear my watch and I feel naked 👎🏻
I’m trying my best not to gatekeep because I truly believe almost all kids would really love the Percy Jackson books, so I want them to read, but I wish everyone read the books before watching anything. It’s just so much better.
Haven’t been worrying about spoilers either. The books have been out for years. Not for any exact scene but for any general plot point from the books there’s no spoiler warning, it’s been known lmao
I went to this presentation on trans rights in America today, and the speaker put a picture of the Nazis burning all of Magnus Hirschfeld’s work on the slide explaining the government’s recent attempt to seemingly erase trans people. Which is understandable, the similarities are scary. Then the speaker explains the picture, who Hirschfeld was, what the Nazis did. And he didn’t say the word “Jewish” once. Just made me so angry. Antisemitism is why the Nazis destroyed everything Hirschfeld worked on, and antisemitism is why the Nazis hated LGBT people. To talk about all this without saying “Jewish” or “antisemitism” even once just feels so disrespectful.

Just remembered how I had a Yogi Berra baseball card when I was younger but I gave it away at some point :(
Give Percy Jackson ambrosia please
I wrongly trusted a Christian Zionist. And I know what they are like. My (Christian) grandma will go on and on about Israel and cry for the Jews, but minutes later will say that all Jews will go to Hell for not believing in Jesus.
I’ve known this friend for four years now and became much closer with him last year when he expressed anger at the people applauding October 7th. We’ve spent the last year talking about this stuff, sending each other ridiculous things said, and sending happy Jewish culture things. It’s been great. In a lonely time in most other places, I did not feel alone because of him.
And yet, he voted for Trump. I don’t get it. It goes against so much of what we agreed on (outside of Israel as well). Sorry, but a man saying he’ll deport the “enemies from within” (being democrats)(source), he’ll declare a national emergency and use the military for mass deportations (source), he’d get away with killing someone (source), and police should have “one really violent day” (source) sounds all too familiar. If you voted for that today (and, Hell, one of those comments goes back to 2016), I have no doubt you’d vote for the man (who’s also a felon but “better for the economy!”) saying the same exact things in 1933.
So, I have this Kindle, right? But my parents think it's long gone. But I actually still have it and go on it if my phone is taken away. The thing is my Kindle gets alerts for Amazon packages coming in, so I always know what I am getting for Christmas or my birthday. I kinda like that though. I feel powerful and all-knowing.
