I volunteer at an elementary school through a school club. For the end of year party, I was discussing the logistics with the organization's president when she broke the news that there'd be no pizza.

"Aw, shucks!" Was my response. "You couldn't order it from a school approved vendor? Even with our funds?

"Basically," she groaned. "The usual place isn't open that day and I wasn't going to order from the other one."

"What was the other one?" I asked.

"It's" she wrinkled her face and whispered. "A kosher pizzeria."

I waited for the follow up. It didn't come. I repeated her words. "because it's kosher ? "

"Yeah." She sighed. "I just can't endorse that. With global politics."

"You can't endorse a local restaurant so you're not getting pizza for 8 year olds?"

"Yeah. And I bet that their stuff isn't that good -"

"Actually," I interrupted. "That place is fantastic. I love their pizza."

I couldn't tell you her response because I walked away from that conversation. But I am still reeling. This is just the many ways antisemitism shows up and we are all lesser for it.

On a funny note, I ran into two of my rabbis and told them this story. They then got into an incredibly intense argument on if that kosher pizzeria was even that good.

One insisted it was the best and the other hated it, fighting for another spot.

I interrupted-- "guys, what about the antisemitism?"

They turned to me, consoling. "Listen, antisemitism is always going to be there. But at the same time, we can have standards."

And promptly got back to their debate.

and honestly it's just fucking insane that every time we try to talk about harm to children in particular we have to talk circles around the fact that these things are very, very overwhelmingly done by parents/family members/teachers/religious leaders/known and trusted adults in a position of power over a child, to the extent that many people's suggested solution to child abuse is "give the people most likely to abuse a child EVEN MORE strangling legal and material power over the kid"

sapphling

you're not supposed to actually address who is abusing children and what can be done to give those children recourse and the ability to leave abusive situations because nobody actually gives a shit about child abuse beyond the familial property rights violation it represents to them and the cudgel against minorities which it can be turned into

You see something broadly similar in nursing where you have to tip toe round the fact that nurses can directly and intentionally harm patients; one of the most common phrases you'll hear when trying to address an issue is something like "well no nurse is coming to work deliberately wanting to hurt their patients". I don't say this to derail from the issue of protecting children from their parents/guardians, i say it because i think it highlights the consistent problems that not offending the sensibilities of people in positions of power over vulnerable people is seen as more important then actually protecting those vulnerable people. "How dare you suggest I'm a bad parent, I'm not going to listen to anything you say because clearly you just hate me, and my feelings are clearly the real issue now" type mindset that means you end you talking circles around issues trying not offend anyone instead of directly addressing what is wrong

reblogging this with my own masterpiece

ultimatespider

the pros of reading ao3 fics in public is that their layout is so clean and simple that people would think you’re reading some academic researches when you’re in fact reading a 50k fic. the cons is that you need to control your face all the fucking time

fuckyeahisawthat

An additional feature: the layout is clean and simple BUT anyone familiar with AO3 will immediately recognize it. Pro or con? You decide.

If they know it enough to recognize it on sight, they probably aren’t going to be judging me about it.
