hi everyone my friend is making a short film called uphill both ways about a trans woman who has to complete one last family "boy's hike" to earn her share of the inheritance following the death of her father.

Blaire, the screenwriter, is one of the smartest and coolest people in the whole world, and the whole team on this is incredible. If you've been thinking that you want to find more up-and-coming artists to watch out for, you can follow this film on Seed and Spark for updates or to donate if you're able, or find the production company on Instagram @thestrangerkind.

Also, if you're looking for a podcast, strong rec for The Transient Bliss of Death by Fallout. If you're looking for a graphic novel, The Song of The Rainbow Sea is beautifully written, gorgeous art, big fan. And those are just my favorites from The Stranger Kind... There's more where that came from.

What’s the moon up to. I’m so full of stories and feelings tonight. What’s she doing.

i don’t like how endings in real life come on so suddenly without making sense, without much warning. one minute you’re in the middle of something and the next it’s all a very long time ago and you’re a different person and none of it is ever coming back

When the coronavirus temporarily shuttered businesses across the country, Alexi Minko was nearly ready to give up on his bar, Alibi Lounge. 

“I was 75% done with the business,” Minko said to NowThis. “I was wondering, was it worth it?”

But after a prolific GoFundMe campaign and what he describes as a renewed sense of responsibility, Minko said Alibi Lounge is thriving, even in the middle of a pandemic. 

[...]

This March, Alibi Lounge temporarily closed due to the coronavirus. Minko said he was rejected twice for assistance from the federal Paycheck Protection Program, which chains including Shake Shack and Ruth’s Chris Steak House were not. He then reached out to the Small Business Association's Network for LGBT Businesses and got approved for a PPP loan.

wearing out your clothes is fun! sew the hole in your wool sweater or sock with a different colour yarn! cut up your ripped stockings and use the fabric to patch up the knees of your jeans! cover up permanent stains by trying out embroidery! patches and stitches and creative attempts and other ‘imperfections’ are cute and cool!

You know what no fuck it I’m tired of punks the swastika and the circle cross through it. Idc that it’s “fuck nazis” I still have to see the swastika. The point isn’t to make nazis angry its to fucking protect Jews, Roma and black people

[terulakimban]

This ties directly into what is easily one of my top “...oh.” conversations as a Sunday School teacher. (To forestall the obligatory question from the goyim, yes, I’m Jewish, the context is Jewish, yes, it’s still on Sundays.)

One of the kids -not officially one of mine yet, but he would be soon, and I’d had his class before -and I were talking about antisemitism. Kid was the only Jewish kid in his grade at school -not unusual, where we were. His teacher, at the start of the year, had had them all make drawings of what it was to be a ‘good citizen’. A... significant majority of the students had just done a swastika with a slash through it. 

And you’d think that would be good, right? Except... this was a school that was notorious for having issues for the Jewish students (or it would have been if the other schools in the area had been any different). Another Jewish child a bit younger than him had come up to me the year before and asked me what ‘kike’ meant. His teacher had used it. In reference to him. Context had made it clear that it was both bad and something to do with being Jewish. His parents hadn’t given him an answer, so... he came to me, because I was the teacher who used swears. A child the age of the first child was, at that time, although I did not know it, the target of a severe and ongoing antisemitic harassment campaign that had him legitimately afraid for her life. Another child, older than the others, was regularly frustrated nearly to the point of tears because her teachers kept bringing up Judaism and getting everything wrong. All of them were used to the “oh, another holiday” or “can’t you just be normal” or “so when [x] goes to church OH I’M SoRrY tEmPlE” from adults and the constant unending pressure of assimilatebenormalapologizeforkillingjesusyoucanneverapologizeandneveratoneassimilateorburnforeverassimilateyouretoodifferentassimilateassimilateassimilatebenormal. 

And it was in that context that this little Jewish elementary schooler, one who also is never assumed to be white, was sitting as the only Jew, surrounded all day by swastikas, many of them drawn by the same people who bullied him and his Sunday school classmates for being Jews, most of whom routinely said and did antisemitic things, often with his family or one of a handful of others at most being the only Jews they or their families had encountered. 

And here’s the thing, that “here’s what we’re against” as a baseline form of support thing aggravates the hell out of me. Support people for their sake, not because you see them as tools of a cause. But having to help a ten year old help find the words for “it doesn’t matter that they’re crossed out; no one who drew them knows what they mean and what they stood for, not really, and I’m still there surrounded by them all the time” and identify and articulate his feelings about that was... pretty fucking heartbreaking. I don’t care if you hate nazis. I care if you support Jews. You can hate them and hate us. It’s pretty fucking common. What is your active means of making them unwelcome? And why don’t you want them present? Is it to show that you know the right words? Do you just think that means “bad people I don’t agree with”? Or are there people you want to keep safe? 

[ziskeyt]

I don’t care if you hate nazis. I care if you support Jews. You can hate them and hate us.

Salient points. I don’t even understand any of those image and then circle with a line through it overlaid is supposed to do for anyone. I’m sure you’ve all been outside a building with the non-smoking sign that says how it’s not allowed within x amount of meters/feet but there’s people smoking just outside the door. People don’t care about signs like that. 

But especially, in my experience the only people who utilize crossed out swasitka signs aren’t Jewish. I know no Jew who wants anything to do with a swastika in any capacity. Why give the white supremacist/nazi more real estate in my life or any sense of platform?

This is how I feel about the image-format “do not interact” banners on stimboards, moodboards, etc. I have a lot of words in my Tumblr and browser extension filters so that I don’t have to spend time thinking about the people who want me dead, but image-format DNI’s don’t get caught by the filters!

So I can’t go in a lot of supposed-to-be-soothing tags because I’ll get hit by DNI banners talking about Nazis, TERFs, CSA, etc. All I wanted to do was go look at glitter gel or marble sorting or WHATEVER and then I get to the bottom of the image and there’s a banner my filters can’t pick up because it’s an image, not text, reminding me of hatred and sexual assault.

It sucks.

There’s a blockade in the Black Hills, up to Mt Rushmore, native people (Lakota) stopping everything up.

Someone shared a video of military marching in on them.

Can’t watch. Gonna have a full scale panic attack.

[ksylofonimandariini]

that is american propaganda used to justify their lack of a working healthcare system. it’s not true and even if it was what good would having slightly better healthcare do if it’s only accessible by the richest members of society?

“I came here to celebrate your loving relationship but actual demonstrations of that love gross me out so please, when you’re kissing your new spouse, remember to always be conscious of the fact that your love for each other is a bit icky and we don’t really want to see it.”

this fourth of july think of the indigenous people of america who had their country and land stolen from them with little to no reparations or apologies. land is still being taken. sacred grounds are still being ripped away. there is no “independence” for the people who were here first.

I haven't seen anything about #ElijahWeatherspoon on here so these are the two petitions:

2.

Police officers have arrested a man for filming an arrest even though they acknowledged it was legal for him to do so– and he’s a State Congressman

The police officers seemed more concerned with calling Rep. John Walker a “race baiter” for doing something completely legal than they were in upholding the law. But the kicker is that Rep. Walker had already been arrested for the same thing years ago, which is why he fought for the law (and won) in the first place.

Things I have seen compared to nazi Germany in the past WEEK:

-angry trans ex-Harry Potter fans burning hp books

-abortion

-snitching on neighbors who break quarantine

-the IRS and tax auditing.

Our oppression is not your neat little prop to push your political agenda.

Goyim are encouraged to reblog this

A lot of the women who have stepped forward - and I stand in solidarity with them - what they’re getting paid, which is half of what a man is getting paid, well we get probably a tenth of what a Caucasian woman gets. And I’m number one on the call sheet. And then I have to go in and I have to hustle for my worth.
