"Hobbyless behavior" is an excellent way to describe people who really need to find an outlet for all of their energy and big feelings, but I think we also need "overly hobbied behavior" as a descriptor for people who have an outlet for their energy and big feelings that is just a little too much. ļæ¼ļæ¼
They just keep taking our babies
And nothing is done other than the suffering of their families as they watch on as their child's negligent at best "friends" are defended and folks plead fer forgiveness and understanding.
Fuck that. Another Black baby found dead after going out with supposed friends and yall wanna stick up fer the potential killers that will lawyer up and cry on camera and melt the hearts of supremacists everywhere. Meanwhile, they wouldn't be able to hold 30s of silence fer poor Nolan.
The fact that 150K Mainers enthusiastically voted for a man they knew had a Nazi tattoo should haunt them like the legacy of voting for Klansmen haunts the South. Maybe the crackers up in New England are overdue for some national shaming.
Respect what they voted for?
Respect is for respectable people and actions.
Of course Nazi Tits used dog whistles to blame his downfall on Jews because what else would a Nazi Titted rapist asshole do?
Iāve noticed a thing recently (well, Iām sure people have been doing it for a while, but it only occurred to me recently) wherein people will deny the antisemitism of the committing a crime against Jews in the diaspora as a way of expressing anger at Israel, then when theyāre called on it theyāll go āhey, I never said it wasnāt a crime, I just said it wasnāt *antisemitic*ā and bitch, youāre not as cute as you think you are.
It's worth noting that this particular gambit has been attempted by the Democratic nominee for the US House race in Colorado 1, Melat Kiros, who refuses to use the word antisemitism in connection with last year's firebombing attack on a group of Jews at a Jewish event in Boulder, which is in the district she will almost certainly be elected to represent.
According to Wikipedia the motive for that attack was āanti-Zionismā
you heard it here first folks a person was killed in the name of antizionism
And it just happened to be an 82 year old Jewish woman at a Jewish event even though the number of Christian people who claim to be Zionist in the United States alone outnumbers all the Jews on the planet. Somehow that antizionism honed right in on the smallest possible target in Boulder.
Tell us all so much more about that antizionism.
wikipedia:
-XYZ is Catholic
-XYZ is bisexual.
-XYZ is Muslim.
also wikipedia:
-XYZ is of Jewish descent.
-XYZ has Jewish parents.
-XYZās grandparents escaped Auschwitz and immigrated to America and became Chabad shlichim. They were born at 770. Their parents are a rabbi and rebbetzin in a large Jewish community in Lakewoodā¦ā¦ā¦.theyāre of Jewish descent.
On one hand, Wikipedia current policy with regard to Jews acknowledges Jewish ethnicity. They would never say that someone is of Methodist descent or had Southern Baptist parents.
On the other hand the policy simultaneously treats Judaism as strictly a religion that no one can be said to hold unless there is a source that meets citation standards in which they speak about being a Jew, as if it is something requiring personal profession the way that Christianity does.
And with the ongoing antisemitic edit wars happening, where every Jewish person and topic is being changed on purpose in the worst faith manner, there is no way that even a large and very well organized group of Jews can fix this problem.
Wikipedia is inherently untrustworthy on any topic related to Jews or Judaism.

just once itād be nice if those antizionist jews who say theyāre guided by jewish values were referring to ahavat yisrael instead of just tikkun olam
and then you look at what they're saying and the kabbalists would hardly recognise a word of it as tikkun olam, just secular western leftism being referred to as tikkun olam
The concept of Reform was amazing. Allowing it to morph into Bourgeois Protestant Cosmopolitanism (with Latkes!)ā¢ was a historic error.
Why are you bringing Reform Judaism into this? Especially when Ahavat Israel is a central value within it, and the leftist movement Jews are largely unaffiliated, at least as adults, many because Reform does not shy away from embracing both Am Yisrael and Medinat Israel and many can't stand the latter?
Are you really wanting to turn this conversation into yet another "your practice of Judaism is invalid" argument? Who does that serve? What does that serve?
I will never tolerate another word about how generous and honorable that vapid ass pop star and her meathead husband are when they shut down midtown Manhattan on a holiday to hold a vanity wedding in the surveillance terrordome of a Trump crony billionaire and then made a joke of the whole thing by having it officiated by Adam fucking Sandler. No. Not another single word.
I refuse to believe that this isn't satire.
i wanna live in a world where trans women aren't terrified of wronging someone and being socially murdered, isolated, and cast out for it
i wanna live in a world where trans women can make mistakes. i wanna live in a world where trans women are given grace.
i wanna live in a world that trans women like me wouldn't be afraid of living in.
I thought I could never care for anyone again, until I met you.
The Golden Girls, S2E5: āIsn't It Romanticā
#happy pride to this episode of a sitcom from the 1980s!!!!
The Golden Girls was an incredibly progressive show on LGBTQ matters, especially for the time in which it was produced. We had this episode where Dorothy's lesbian friend falls for Rose. There were multiple episodes with Blanche's brother Clayton, who was gay, including an episode where he and his partner married, nearly three decades before that would be legal. Dorothy's brother Phil was described with the language of the time as a cross dresser, but we would certainly understand him now as gender nonconforming or gender fluid. And there was a really important episode that broke a lot of stigma around HIV. And in each instance, the story always ended with love and acceptance and a key takeaway that our LGBTQ friends and family weren't any different just because they were different. It was - and is - absolutely gorgeous stuff.
while I agree that whiteness and Judaism is more complex than just "white Jews" I think a lot of jumblr exhibits the same kind of "foisting whiteness on others to avoid guilt" that they accuse goyim of doing. you can't just post "Jews aren't white" and wipe your hands clean of any racism in Jewish spaces
.
As a Black Jew who has alluded to my experiences of racism from other Jews on more than a few occasions, all I can say is that this is a conversation that needs to be had in community and in our own spaces, not in public. Not right now. Some things are intracommunity and need to stay that way for the sake of both the problem and for our safety.
Scott Wiener did literally every single thing the Free Palestine movement said was necessary to be a Good Antizionist and it still wasn't good enough.
It's a Nazi movement.
The man who began haranguing Scott Weiner this weekend has accosted him several times in the past, one time screaming that Weiner has a "tainted bloodline."
But you all can go on lying about what this is. Just know that your disconnection from integrity and honesty will ultimately come to a cost.
Don't turn away from this, and don't for a minute think that your behavior doesn't imply your agreement with that last guy, because as Palestine has become the omnicause of the American left to the point of ceding to fascism in our own country, the number of people I've seen mention Congo or Sudan or Haiti is minuscule. I no longer talk about the situation in those places on social media because the silence when I have posted was deafening.
The word genocide stays in your daily vocabulary but you didn't apply it to el-Fasher. As the aid community has begged for help for years, years,and now today has sent an open letter pleading with the United Nations for international intervention to prevent a repeat of el-Fasher in el-Obeid which is under threat of imminent RSF siege, you probably don't even know what country I'm talking about.
Don't look away. Look inside. ļæ¼
Doubly so for the folks who aren't getting any notice in western media. South Asia, we see you. We love you. Drink some water right now, please.
[Images ID: An 18 part Twitter thread by Michael W. Twitty (@KosherSoul) that reads the following:
1) How does someone like me experience #Antisemitism? Anti-Jewish sentiments and behavior can reflect the different variants of people expressing their displeasure with Jews as a people, sub-ethnicities and as a sect of religious practices of cultural or social stances.
2) Wearing a kippa, having a beard or wearing tzitzit...or fringes intended to remind me to observe the commandments often signify my Jewishness but that's not the only way people might identify me as a Jew and treat me differently in a negative way.
3) I was slapped in a grocery store by a man who grinned as he said "oh sorry didn't see you there..." and my kippa fell off. I was so shocked I didn't know what to do.
4) A white woman called me a "kike" in a parking lot dispute and when I called her out on it, the cops threatened me with arrest for "escalating," for calling her anti-Semitic. They were Black and no help to a fellow brotha.
5) A former landlord demanded I let workers in and around on Saturday and demanded that I be there to let them in even though I reminded her it was Shabbat. The city gvt of Rockville. Md didn't care.
6) I was attacked on the metro by a large group of fundamentalist Christians and their children mocked me and attempted to spit on me and my prayerbook. They preached about how awful Jews were...over they figured out I wasn't Muslim. Nobody intervened.
7) People might think I am Muslim if I wear an African or Asian style kippa which might resemble the kuffi. I desperately needed to charge my phone at Union Station & a very rude older white man who worked there demanded to know what I was doing & he told me to get me "fuckn terrorist ass" out
8) Getting my ID for research at the library of congress...the woman taking care of me demanded to know why I was Jewish. She then said, "I bet you're a damn Republicans too..." and shook her head with pursed lips.
9) The first and last time I prayed at a station with my tefillin I had more than one person with a walkie talkie come up to me and ask what I "thought" I was doing and why I had strange things on me and if they were dangerous.
like you would you even bother to ask...
10) I mentioned during a presentation for the Folklike festival that the folks in my synagogue made the same dish but with different ingredients and context & the curator for food ripped the mic out of my hands & told the crowd they were misinformed & that it had nothing to do with the Jews
11) Antisemitic and Anti-Jewish in my world is having a cop pull us over on Tisha B'Av & hold a gun to my head, its being told not to "bring up that Jewish angle" or having an editor turn down The Cooking Gene because I mentioned I was Jewish & them telling me "America wasn't ready"
12) Its being harassed and questioned on the train about why I am not a Christian or people hoping that I'm really "Messianic." Or ppl thinking they are funny at work calling em "Little Amish boy."
13) Its having another landlord threaten you over building a Sukkah. Its having a kippa off and being perceived as just Black while some white dude talks about the "the fnn Jews..." are the problem behind everything...
14) Its being asked "Do you have to wear that here?" (Kippa)
Its people seeing this beard and a headcovering and experiencing intersectinal isht at an airport...
Its people questioning my Jewish identity because they only frame Jewish identity as one identifiable type.
15) Its saying "I'm Jewish," and having people burst out laughing.
That one...
They can't hide the fact that bc I'm not a caricature that they think I am ridiculous in my current incarnation as a complex and nuanced American.
It hurts really bad.
16) Its people coming into my social media saying "I heard you were a Zionist. Are you a Zionist? Explain yourself." I never said a word about the matsav but I say Jewish and they say that.
17) Its people assuming that Jewishness takes me out of my consciousness as a person of color. Its people assuming real Black ppl can be Christian or Muslim but not Jews. Its people trying to tell me what Jewishness is about to justify de-centering me as a Jew.
18) I 'm going to close it here. Shver tzu tzayn a Yid.
