Reblog to have the most homoerotic year of your life 2024
perhaps some will disagree, but i think the world got worse when we changed the colour of the night
what effect is this supposed to have on me
USA people! Buy NOTHING Feb 28 2025. Not anything. 24 hours. No spending. Buy the day before or after but nothing. NOTHING. February 28 2025. Not gas. Not milk. Not something on a gaming app. Not a penny spent. (Only option in a crisis is local small mom and pop. Nothing. Else.) Promise me. Commit. 1 day. 1 day to scare the shit out of them that they don't get to follow the bullshit executive orders. They don't get to be cowards. If they do, it costs. It costs.
Then, if you can join me for Phase 2. March 7 2025 thtough March 14 2025? No Amazon. None. 1 week. No orders. Not a single item. Not one ebook. Nothing. 1 week. Just 1.
If you live outside the USA boycott US products on February 28 2025 and stand in solidarity with us and also join us for the week of no Amazon.
Are you with me?
Spread the word.
I've had quite a few goyish friends who were always quick to tell me that I'm "worried over nothing" and that "people have learned since the 30's, no ones actually going to act on the antisemitic things they're saying"
Antisemitism has been on the rise. Now is not the time for minimization or denial. Listen to Jewish voices. Especially black and brown jews.
TW: antisemitism
It’s terrifying seeing how many people who Would be willing to kill me and my entire family, yet everyone around me seems to not realize just how in danger we’re in.
My great great grandmother moved to this country 110 years ago and soon I think I will leave again, my mother always says “ we built wood houses not stone because we won’t be here that long.”
Often I think people forget that Jews are a traveling people not by choice but owning little but story’s is deeply imbedded into are culture.
I think this is why the disappearance of Yiddish and Ladino is so sad to me.
So if you’re a fellow jew I’m sorry we’re in this together, and if you’re not have sympathy for your Jewish friends right now
(This post is about my experience as a Jewish person and rising antisemitism this week)
(Please don’t send this more death threats, I’m already suicidal you’ll just make me want to live more.)
(No I’m not a Zionist)
(Sorry for all this notes but this is the internet and for lack of a better term people are mean)
Sorry for spelling and grammar dysgraphia is a bitch
Quietly losing my mind over the fact that Elon Musk has straight up orchestrated a coup of our executive branch and like....I don't even know what, if any, system we have in place to fix this. Like... He's just taken control of the money and locked out the actual appointed officials. What the fuck.
The Tzedakah box of my childhood home still lives on a shelf, perpetually filling with coins. I remember many from my time growing up: ironic piggy bank ones, ones made of ornate filigree, those made of classic tin, ones created by community members to raise money for insulin — Tzedakah is a mainstay of Jewish life because we recognize that Tzedakah is life affirming work.
People often ask, what’s the difference between Tzedakah and charity? Charity is a choice; one often made out of pity. Tzedakah is a moral imperative. An easily recognizable definition of a Mitzvah: it is both a commandment and a good deed.
Taking care of one another is required of us.
If you want to the TV show the Good Place, you might have seen Jewish philosophy spoken to you when Chidi gave his speech, “What do we owe to each other?” His work is based on that of TM Scanlon, an ethical philosopher who has a book by the same question. Fictional Chidi comes to the conclusion, “to put it simply: we are not in this alone.”
Tzedakah is physical manifestation of the idea that we owe to each other care, love, and humanity. While this post focuses on monetary aspects, they also aspects like hiring another person, teaching, training, entering into partnerships.
It is our duty to care for one another and expect nothing in return, for it is our duty.
