Violent Nasty Rarified Times

Middle aged Jewess. Having a baby in a few days as of Oct 25, so to avoid ppd I’m going to turn this blog into a movie and tv show recommendation blog including anime. I don’t mind the hate mail, it’s mostly boring, but I can’t be keeping up with news. 💙.

Hey, just so you know, if you’ve been antisemitic in the past for political purposes and realize you’re surrounded by violent people, bigoted people, crazy people, people who don’t have the best interests of humanity or peace in their activism… you can change your mind and leave the echo chamber. Full stop.

I believe antisemitism is in part a mental health problem. It’s a conspiracy theory and it’s easy to fall into because there are more people and evil actors across the globe who use it to gain power, money, and ego then there are Jews alive today. It’s not so easy to accept that you got mixed up in something cultish and cruel and bigoted, but it’s easy if you’re not looking out for it.

If you want peace, put peace first. Don’t look the other way when you’ve fallen in with terrorist supporters and Neo Nazis. They make everyone on the planets life far worse. They got trump elected. Punish them, not Palestinians, Israelis, Iranian people, Jews or anyone else who has been fucked over by the different flavors of terrorism and conspiracy and conservative rhetoric and violence cults. You can walk away from it. I wish I could avoid it too.

I wish all the “religion is inherently bad” people who go on to describe issues exclusive to Christianity would understand that their idea of Christianity being analogous to all religion is a very glaring sign that they are still steeped in the Christian hegemony they seem to reject so vehemently

[dead-dyke]

You wrote about murder?? Murder is illegal?? You wrote about this dude killing someone and you didn't even say 'murder is bad' at the start of the book, wht wtf, wtf is wrong with you? I can't believe you condone murder, I can't believe you're pro murber, oh my fucking God don'ttalk to me when ou literally kill people, freak. I'm calling the cops, what the fuck, I'm shaking and crying.

Listen to me. Listen to me. Listen to me. Listen to me.

I know there is a lot of discourse (tm) around this right now but listen to me

sometimes you do just have to lie to children.

[kaity--did]

If, when my toddler is, you know, toddling around saying “mama? Big ball?”

If I were lean down and say “unfortunately the big beach ball for some reason fills you with such an unadulterated rage that is beyond human comprehension that you scream until you pass out, so mama had to remove the beach ball from the premises until you can better regulate your emotions” she would simply stare at me like I had 3 heads full of equal betrayal.

So, for now, instead “big ball went night night!”

[kaity--did]

Please understand when I say “removed the ball from the premises” I mean I popped it in a fit of exhausted confusion. I murdered the beach ball.

See I’ve lied to you all too and it was better this way.

When I was a teenager and still on Neopets I was part of a pretty big Star Trek guild and eventually became part of its council, with the solemn duty of creating weekly polls. Well one day I created the poll "Which would win in a fight? Borg Cube or Death Star?". Naturally, since this was a Star Trek guild, the answer was overwhelmingly "Borg Cube", but someone did have the rationality to point out we were biased.

So I look up a pretty prominent Star Wars guild and message one of their council and ask them to poll the same question and get back to me in a week. They do, and naturally the fuckin geeks said "Death Star".

So then I look up a Stargate guild and messaged the lead council member, saying the same thing, and they get back to me almost immediately saying that the Death Star would immediately one-shot a Borg Cube but they would never be able to do it again to another Cube. And I took that wisdom back to my guild and we were mollified, and for one moment the Nerd World was peaceful.

can't stop thinking about that meme making fun of people who tell u to take a break when ur getting frustrated with a game. I saw some silksong streamer on youtube reference it being like "taking a break isn't gonna make the game design any better!!! it isn't gonna make the benches any closer together!!!!" and like....yeah dude! you're so close to getting it right now! you would like to be less frustrated, but there's nothing you can do about the game. what do you have control over? yourself. and how can you use that control to decrease your frustration.....???? come on you're ALMOST there

“Cook at home to save money” sounds all well and good until you get a little too into it and suddenly you’re bookmarking recipes that call for The Preserved Grace of God and that shit is $13 at the specialty store

[akaanir-of-starfleet]

#in my experience the tipping point isn't the preserved grace of god but - well. when you start branching out into other food cultures. #suddenly you've got to source the grace of god and also the mercy of allah and also a jewish conception of repentance #that's really only sold at small local grocers. and then you're trying to translate websites written in bengali or cantonese #and attempting to figure out whether you can use butter instead of ghee to achieve dharma. #don't even get me into woks vs. censers.

“yeah no” is my favorite combo

if you are a parent, or may become one, or you are otherwise likely to arrive in the situation of caring for a child while they eat, promise me this: if a child doesn't like a certain food or food group, you will ask them WHY. and specifically, you will pay attention to either confirming or ruling out "it makes my mouth itch" or "it makes my stomach hurt," both of which are medically important info that children may not provide unprompted. which i know because this PSA has been brought to you by "i spent my entire childhood and much of my early teens eating peas and lentils while wondering why everyone else liked the Violently Itchy Mouth Sensation so much, like were they a bunch of legume masochists or something, before i finally realized that Violently Itchy Mouth Sensation was in fact a sinister demon appearing only to me, and her true demonic name was: Legume Allergy"

Do not let your child suffer from spicy bananas!

Leftists: "Zionists control Congress, so they're really the ones in power--"

Nah, because then you'd be too scared to harass Jews at Jewish festivals, synagogues, university campuses and rallies, the way you're too scared to harass Trump fans at MAGA rallies.
