Kaifeng Jews in China were, for many years, cut off from other Jews AMD thought they were the only Jews left. Imagine their surprise when European Jews, fleeing the Holocaust, arrived in their town, speaking a language they already knew: Hebrew.

Similar things happened in Uganda and Ethiopia.

Even when Jews are removed from each other, we maintain our identities. We recognize Jews from other countries and we will share a history, language, songs, and culture.

Incredible work simultaneously blaming trans men for their own need to join teams that don’t align with their identity (or else end their careers entirely) while reaffirming the sexist structure of sports but like, wokely. I agree this and all “women’s teams” should sign trans women but like what are we doing here. Why are we acting like this is some kind of unforgivable misogynistic act that poor wombyn are going to be FORCED to play with a MAN (no it’s ok he’s trans so it’s actually super affirming to say that!!!) and not like. Focus on how it sucks that trans athletes have to make these kinds of choices. Wait I know why it’s bc hating transmasculine ppl is considered cool right now

[tboy-cock]

fascinating that trans men being barred from mens sports and having to either participate in women's or not participate at all is considered a privilege that we have over trans women and not fucking transphobia. more proof that they dont view us as trans

[tboy-cock]

also trans men who play on womens sports cant take testosterone, meaning that they cant transition in a way that most trans men want or need to. and trans men on t also typically cant play on mens sports. so not only are trans men often forced to either play on womens teams or not at all, but if they play on womens theyre barred from medical transition. real trans male privilege huh

Does anyone else remember Mack Beggs, the trans guy wrestler who was forced to compete in his high school’s girls team and the only people mad about it were transphobes while the rest of us understood he would rather have been on the boy’s team? Why is it back then we could understand “oh, he’s on the girls team because he has no other choice” but now it’s “why is this MAN on the WOMEN’S team? Clearly he’s stealing a spot meant for a trans woman!” Or uh. Or he wants to play soccer. And he’s a trans man. And he’s not allowed on the men’s team. Because the United Soccer League’s rules state you have to join the team that corresponds to your assigned sex at birth.

Also if you read any statements made by Isaac Ranson himself, you’d know he’s not okay with being misgendered and that he researched the team to see if they would be accepting of him as a man before signing on. On Minnesota Aurora’s website they explicitly say they’re for “women, girls, and gender expansive people” and have the phrase “trans women are women” clearly on there. When the coach is quoted talking about Isaac she clearly uses he/him pronouns for him. This is a team who is actively trying to support a trans man not because they think he’s a woman and wouldn’t let a trans woman on if they could, but because they’re trans inclusive and stuck working within a shitty transphobic system just like he is.

Would I prefer he be on the men’s team? Absolutely. But the blame lies with the USL. Not him. Not Aurora. You don’t have to be a sports fan to understand this.

The Oregon data center situation is a really good example of how anti-ai sentiment on this website has such a totality over the average users mind that they don't understand articles put in front of them. People on this website will refuse to understand actual situations that are happening because they want to be more mad at AI.

'The Precedent Is Flint': How Oregon's Data Center Boom Is Supercharging a Water Crisis

Amazon data centers constructed in eastern Oregon's farmland have worsened a water pollution problem that’s been linked to cancer and miscar

The article again for people who missed it but to summarize the issue

>a rapid boom of agriculture in an otherwise arid and less than optimally fertile region has resulted in a ton of water pollution from the fertilizers necessary to keep the agricultural industry there profitable

>the people in charge of cleaning the water struck a deal with the agricultural farms that they would provide polluted water for them to spray over their crops as a way to cut down on fertilizer costs

>this polluted water then re-enters the water table, and this is particularly drastic for winter spraying where there is no crops to absorb the extra nitrates

>the reservoir and water tables at this point are so intensely polluted that there isn't clean water left

>enter Amazon

>amazon uses water to cool off their data centers

>normally this would not be a problem. data centers do not "pollute" the water they intake

>however, since hot water tends to evaporate somewhat, this results in any pollutants already in the water to become more concentrated

>because the water table is already so polluted, Amazon can't source clean water and must use nitrate polluted water for their data centers

>this causes a discharge of more nitrate concentrated water which is putting additional stress on the waste water systems and requiring more spraying

>data centers are not causing the problems but are exacerbating it

>these data centers have been in the area for over a decade, because data centers are used for more than AI

>the presence in agriculture, the data centers, and the waste water solution were all orchestrated by about five to seven members of government all working together to make as much money as possible in a bunch of nakedly corrupt moves

>this includes the waste water treatment body blackmailing the state government to let them continue to do winter sprays or they'll dump their nitrate polluted water into the water system

>all the while this has resulted in a bunch of health complications such as cancers and miscarriages

>the people trying to expose this are being targeted both by government and by under the table actors

>the whole situation is fucked and the state government isn't moving to actualyl fix it

This is a very complicated situation. Here is what the average tumblr users knows about it

>AI data centers cause cancer

do you see? do you see why this pisses me off? do you see why I said that I think anti-AI sentiment is going in the wrong place? Stopping AI will not stop this situation or make it better.

i Beleve there is some thing so intereting about a Puppies

[donniehaspronouns]

hey young queers. I need you to hear me when I say part of growing up is learning to not care. part of growing up as a queer person is learning to abandon online discourse in favor of a “who cares, welcome to the club” kind of attitude. I promise you, you will feel so much less stress when you stop the infighting over slur discourse and identities you think don’t make sense. adopt a “I may not understand but it has no impact on me” mentality I promise it will be so much better for your mental health.

If grandmothers around the world had a rallying cry, it would probably sound something like “You need to eat!”

Photographer Gabriele Galimberti’s grandmother said something similar to him before one of his many globetrotting work trips. To ensure he had at least one good meal, she prepared for him a dish of ravioli before he departed on one of his adventures.  

“In that occasion I said to my grandma ‘You know, Grandma, there are many other grandmas around the world and most of them are really good cooks,” Galimberti wrote via email. “I’m going to meet them and ask them to cook for me so I can show you that you don’t have to be worried for me and the food that I will eat!’ This is the way my project was born!”

The project, “Delicatessen With Love”, took Galimberti to 58 countries where he photographed grandmothers with both the ingredients and finished signature dishes.

He acted as photographer and stylist during each shoot with the grandmothers, taking a portrait of both the women and the food they made for him.

From top to bottom: 

Inara Runtule, 68, Kekava, Latvia. Silke €(herring with potatoes and cottage cheese). Grace Estibero, 82, Mumbai, India. Chicken vindaloo.

Susann Soresen, 81, Homer, Alaska. Moose steak.

Serette Charles, 63, Saint-Jean du Sud, Haiti. Lambi in creole sauce.

The photographer’s grandmother Marisa Batini, 80, Castiglion Fiorentino, Italy. Swiss chard and ricotta Ravioli with meat sauce.

Normita Sambu Arap, 65, Oltepessi (Masaai Mara), Kenya. Mboga and orgali (white corn polenta with vegetables and goat).

Julia Enaigua, 71, La Paz, Bolivia. Queso Humacha (vegetables and fresh cheese soup).

Fifi Makhmer, 62, Cairo, Egypt. Kuoshry (pasta, rice and legumes pie).

Isolina Perez De Vargas, 83, Mendoza, Argentina. Asado criollo (mixed meats barbecue).

Bisrat Melake, 60, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Enjera with curry and vegetables.

excerpts from erin in the morning's article on the ioc's ban on transgender women and sex testing policy

[jewish-joy]

I was atrociously late to a seder because of a hospital shift.

All to say, when my rabbi opened the door for Elijah, he yelped when I was on his door step with an appearance akin to surviving a war, a beyond exhausted expression, and an iced coffee larger than my head.

I didn't even register his surprise when I asked, still in the door way "Hey, could i have some wine?"

[prettyboysdontlookatexplosions]

people talk about and excerpt the smutty passages from like romantasy booktok hits or whatever and sometimes it's to be "lol look at this embarrassing porn" and other times it's like a self-serious lit person being like "well certainly one can infer that the books' explicit erotic content is much of their appeal 🧐" but nobody is willing to do the real work of like actually discussing why these scenes are bad at being pornography and not sexy or titillating at all. i mean i guess clearly they are successfully this for probably literally millions of people so that's not quite the right phrasing. but it's like the reason i don't read this stuff isn't because it was written to be jerkoff material it's because it's lousy jerkoff material. and it's lousy jerkoff material in ways i actually think are somewhat interesting to discuss from a craft perspective such as an abundance of cliche and a tendency for individual character dynamics to disappear once the fucking starts and an overreliance on banal physical description of insert tab A into slot B. but nobody is ready for this conversation because either they think it's embarrassing or morally wrong that romantasy jerkoff material exists or because they have extremely low literary standards for jerkoff material. everybody on earth it seems falls into one of these two categories except, of course, Me And My Mutuals

tbh excellent tags and also I am fed up beyond belief at how a lot of research tends to treat sexuality as like. a purely biological/developmental phenomenon, rather than being deeply embedded in our social, cultural, and emotional landscapes. it's this kind of anti-psychoanalytic backlash we see with the rise and predominance of highly empiricist cognitive-behaviorism and it makes me actually very mad because it throws the humanities out of a very human science. STEM in general is often a step or two behind critical theory in terms of missing obvious sampling/interpretive bias because of a blindness to one's own assumptions, but it's especially egregious when it's social sciences. kill the idea of research being Objectively Factual And Logical with stones please

Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.

[patrochilles-or-bust]

Yes, nonblack people can reblog. I'd appreciate it, in fact, if y'all took the time to vocally support your Black friends/fans in fandom.
