Jewish Trans Dyke @jewishtransdyke - Tumblr Blog

Love how in progressive spaces a minority group can espouse discomfort, frustration, endorse discrimination, even explicit hostility against majority/oppressive groups, and it's acceptable because they've Been Through It and it's Understandable given what they experience at the hands of that group.

But Jewish people must prioritize other bigotries above antisemitism, must cater to the groups that have and are targeting us, must assure them that we would never feel so much as distrust towards people chanting for our literal eradication. You feel the discomfort in your body reading that? The compulsion you're experiencing right now? Yeah, I feel it too writing this - I've toned it down twice. Why is that.

Users on Kalshi will even allow users to bet on whether drug trials for potentially lifesaving drug trials will succeed.

Every single executive at these prediction market companies needs to be broken on the wheel. Like we need to revive medieval torture methods specifically for them. and we need to do it now

The predictions market is planning to allow betting on clinical trial results and regulatory decisions as our family fights for his survival

hey folks, I’m gonna introduce you to two very important fandom terms and they are watsonian and doylist

they come (obviously) from the sherlock holmes fandom, and they are two different ways of explaining something in a story. say I’m a fan and I notice that, in the original books, watson’s war wound is sometimes in his leg and sometimes in his shoulder. the watsonian explanation is how watson (that is, a person within the story) might explain it; the doylist explanation is how sir arthur conan doyle (a person in real life) would have explained it.

sherlock explains the migrating war wound by making the shoulder wound real and the limp psychosomatic. the guy ritchie films explain it by having the leg wound sustained in battle before the events of the film and the shoulder wound happen onscreen. the doylist explanation, of course, is that acd forgot where the wound was.

this is very important when we’re discussing stuff like headcanons and word-of-god. I see this when people offer watsonian explanations for something, and then a doylist will say something like “it’s just because the author wrote it that way,” and I see it when a person is criticizing bad writing/storytelling (for example, the fact that quiet in metal gear solid v is running around the whole game in a bikini and ripped tights) and someone comes back with “but there’s an in-story reason why that happens!” (that reason being she breathes through her skin).

there’s nothing wrong with either explanation, and really I think you need both to understand and analyze a text. a person coming up with a watsonian explanation has likely not forgotten that the author had real-life reasons for writing something that way, and a person with a doylist interpretation is likely not ignoring the in-universe justification for that thing.

but it’s very difficult (and imo often useless, though there are exceptions) to try to argue one kind of explanation with the other kind. wetblanketing someone’s headcanon with “or it could just be bad writing” is obnoxious; dismissing someone’s criticism with “but have you considered this in-universe explanation” is ignoring the point of the criticism. understanding where someone is coming from is important when making an argument; acting like your argument is better because you’re being doylist when they’re being watsonian or vice versa is not.

bemusedlybespectacled

it’s been 5 million years but this thing still gets notes with like “can someone explain this to me in a shorter, easier way” so here it is:

watsonian: the enchantress cursed the eleven-year-old prince from beauty and the beast and all of his servants because fairies don’t understand why humans would think that’s insane and unfair. I am using in-universe evidence to explain why the character might think or act a certain way, as if belle and the prince and the enchantress are real people.

doylist: the writers didn’t realize that the prince would have been eleven when he was cursed until it was too late to change it, and the servants are also cursed because talking furniture is funny and allows for unique character design. I am explaining this plot point based on an outside knowledge of how writing works and how writers think.

To use some other, possibly more familiar terms: Watsonian is “in-universe”, Doylist is “meta”.

Watsonian: “Batman doesn’t kill the Joker because killing is a fundamental betrayal of Batman’s personal values.” Doylist: “Batman doesn’t kill the Joker because the writers would lose their most popular villain.”

Both are true, but true from different perspectives and for different reasons.

Just so we’re clear, if I point out that you did something racist, that’s not the same as me thinking you’re irremediably terrible. You did a racist thing.

unthrifty--loveliness-deactivat

You think you don’t do racist things, homophobic things, etc? You do. I caught myself in fat phobic and homophobic lines of thinking/speech just this morning. I’m fucking gay married. Nothing disqualifies you from acting in a way that reflects the society you exist in. We are obliged to fight it. Why not fight it in honesty and with camaraderie?

Horse piss. From pregnant mares. High in bioavailable estrogen complexes. Early form of MtF HRT.

You can still get it in some drugs, although most modern ones use synthetics instead.

Mid-year 2026 update (this is without tax):

Remember this the next time someone argues that raising the minimum wage will raise prices

bethanyactually

to be clear, the U.S. federal minimum wage in 1999 was $5.15/hour, so a worker who made the minimum wage could buy the items on that receipt with 41 minutes of work.

in 2026, the federal minumum wage is $7.25, so a worker who makes minimum wage would have to work 95 minutes--more than twice as long--to buy those same items.

In the early 2000s my mom would send me to Taco Bell with a $10 bill. I'd come home with dinner for all three of us and bills in my change.

Here's your proof.

mamdani says he won’t attend the israel day parade because he can’t support a state that prioritizes one religion over another and then turns around and attends a pakistani independence day event lmfao what a joke

torix-gaming

"It's ok when I do it" must be like, his favorite inner mantra.

riflebrass

Poor choice of words but do we expect jews to participate in muslim celebrations? Both sides hate each other with a passion.

thatjewishteen

if his identity as a muslim prevents him from supporting public secular jewish celebrations within his city, he has no business being mayor of the second most jewish city.

fundamentally, it’s the inconsistency for me. mamdani has no connection to pakistan—he is ethnically indian (gujurati??). he isn’t at the pakistani celebration for personal connections. he’s there because he’s making his values clear.

gogogadgetgolem

If I were the mayor of Hamtramck, Michigan - the only Muslim majority city in the US, You bet my Jewish ass would be attending their secular, cultural celebrations. That’s part of the gig. To actually engage with the community you serve.

Mamdani has been alienating his Jewish constituents since day one.

lashon-hooray

Also it is both antisemitic AND Islamophobic to say that all Jews and muslims hate each other with a passion??? Like wtf. There are people on both sides on the ground desperately working for peace at this very moment wtf

we need a ritual where you can climb into a hole in the ground for roughly 24 hours and just close your eyes and not do anything, and nobody is allowed to look for you or speak your name, and whenever you want to reemerge then you can climb back out and people are forbidden from commenting on your absence. can someone get on this.

I think there’s this weird shift where we’re expecting children to be in adult spaces and just act like little adults. They made all the restaurants that used to be catered to families into weird corporate looking buildings (look at remodeled Macdonalds). And they’re pushing the internet and social media to be “child friendly” read ad friendly. It’s like using children as a scapegoat for why online needs to be safe for kids because they already took away spaces where kids could be safe and still be kids. It’s just making the problem of “kids don’t have anywhere to safely be kids” into everyone else’s problem instead of just fixing the problem. And the whole thing makes it a lot harder to be a parent because the internet isn’t safe. It’s probably one of the least safe places for a child to be. Why do children need to be able to be on the internet? Because there’s no where else they’re allowed to be. (And of course this whole thing is just a ruse to exert control over people)

...we are apparently comparing Hamas to the Black Panthers now. That is. Apparently. A thing we're doing.

And getting agreement on.

Today's bit of proof that the I/P conflict isn't just a fandom to these people, it's impossible to take part in ACTUAL fandom and not get bombarded with this shit.

Broad hint: SOME political movements have been labelled terrorist organizations to discredit them in the eyes of the majority. And others have been labelled terrorist organizations because they hide among their own civilians in order to do "freedom fighting" that mostly targets the other side's civilians.

shofarsogood

The Black Panthers were called terrorists because they carried guns openly to protect Black voters. They didn't rape dead bodies and set children on fire. They gave children free breakfast; they didn't put bombs on school buses.

Hamas, on the other hand, did all of that and more.

"Black people who want civil rights and are antiracist actually want to kill white people and rape their women" used to be uber-racist KKK white supremacist rhetoric but now it's a comparison coming out of the mouths of so-called revolutionaries akdmsnxjdjc

#remember in 2014 when ppl on this site were like '#'no wanting civil rights and freedom from oppression doesn't mean we want to oppress you back'#and now this website is like 'yeah we actually do want to kill ppl and when we see ppl get raped it's resistance'#'tee hee hashtag socialism hashtag revolution' @lord-squiggletits

With so many billions appropriated, why aren’t our aircraft carriers in decent enough condition for sailors to not want to throw themselves

Multiple sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln have reportedly attempted to jump overboard as the aircraft carrier’s deployment stretches past 260 days, one of the longest carrier deployments in modern Navy history. The Navy has declined to say how many such attempts have been made. These attempts follow months of deteriorating conditions aboard the carrier and a deployment that was supposed to end in May but was instead extended repeatedly with no announced return date. Crew members have described broken toilets, moldy showers, laundry facilities down for weeks and meals that came down to half a cup of rice and two tortillas. Families of the roughly 5,000 sailors and Marines aboard say they have witnessed morale collapse in real time, through phone calls and the rare email that gets through.

We need to get Democrats back in charge of the House so we can drum Pete Hegseth out of office.

No righteous gentiles making all the difference, no Americans saving the day, no moral epiphany, no forgiveness and absolution from dead Jews. That is far more challenging to the reader than Anja Spiegelman's breasts.

Didn’t anticipate one of the bonuses of going to a drag show in a smaller more conservative town would be getting to see a bro who clearly wandered into the wrong part of the bar by mistake experience what looked to be a transcendent awakening upon seeing his first drag show.
