“Across Jewish history — ancient and far too modern — Jews know first-hand what ‘quotas’ and ‘bans’ and ‘restrictions’ mean. Refugees and immigrants are our kin; they are us. When the Trump administration comes for Muslims, we know we Jews and all targeted communities are next.”

- Cynthia Greenberg, activist with Jews For Racial & Economic Justice. American Jews, invoking Holocaust, are not here for Trump’s Muslim ban 

[bravo-flag-flying]

Ah yes because it was the Jews that found refuge in western countries and then attacked and raped their people. Governments were worried that Jews would find refuge in their country except some of the more extreme Jews might want to set off a dirty bomb or shoot up a night club. That was definitely the Jews. Comparing Jews to Muslims is 100% and honest and completely accurate comparison.

[reasonandempathy]

They were turned around because the U.S. Government literally thought they might be Nazi saboteurs who would infiltrate the U.S., spy for Nazi Germany, and destabilize the entire country.

So yes.  It is an honest comparison.

Texas Mayor Comes Out As Transgender

“Society finally has a chance to see and learn about who we are."

Eight months after taking office, the mayor of a small town in Texas has come out as transgender.

“As your Mayor I must tell you about something that has been with me since my earliest memories,” New Hope Mayor Jess Herbst wrote in an open letter on the town’s website. “I am Transgender.”

She is believed to be the first openly transgender mayor in Texas, The Dallas Observer reported.

Herbst has been documenting her journey on the blog, JessHerbst.com. She told The Huffington Post that the reaction to her news has been overwhelmingly positive.

1) they expensive bruh 2) none of us kno the dif btwn a fucking diamond and some fancy ass glass ur capitalist rock hierarchy has no control over us

[a-chicago-sunflower]

3) mostly mined with slave labor

[everkings]

4) we get excited when our date buys us an appetizer, we don’t even comprehend people buying us rocks that would force us into debt for ten years

[wildhaunt]

5) They aren’t actually that rare and the price is artificially inflated. 

[ariaste]

Pro tip from a former Jared’s salesperson: You want a sparkly white rock that will look like a diamond to the untrained eye and will literally cost the price of a nice dinner for two? Created white sapphire. They’re lab grown and cost *pennies* to make, so you can get a 1 or 2 carat white sapphire for like… $30-80 probably. You can get one as huge as you like, perfectly clear, perfectly flawless. And no one will ever be able to tell the difference except a professional appraiser. Also, sapphires are the second-hardest gemstone (right after diamonds) so they are very durable! Very unlikely that they’ll chip or crack. Get that bitch set in sterling silver and you are GOOD TO GO. Whole thing should cost you less than $200 unless you get a fancy band with a lot of extra stones. Of course, created sapphires come in every color of the rainbow, so if you want something more exciting than plain white, you TOTALLY CAN. 

Created sapphires and silver: The poor Millennial’s engagement ring.

I love how this post is pretty much “We aren’t buying diamonds because we’re not stupid enough to keep falling for the same scam that you’ve been scamming our parents, their parents, and their parents parents with!”

On Mental Illness & Witchcraft

In light of a couple of posts about witches who are suffering from mental illness(es), I’ve decided to add on the this conversation which really needed to happen. 

Here is a list of witchcraft practices you can do on low spoons, and a little discussion on how you can use your illness to fuel your craft. 

What can you do with low spoons?

Infuse intentions into food

Wear stones already charged with energy

Meditate

Use a pendulum

Infuse intention into water and drink it

Wear charms that are already charged and ready to be worn

Draw on magickal energy from other sources

Ground and center

Anything else that requires little to no spoons. 

How can you use your illness to fuel your craft? A lot of it has to do with your illness, but here are a few:

Use your inner turmoil to fuel a spell.

Use the deep sadness inside for an “opposite effect” spell.

(I don’t do curses personally, but) Use the all the negative emotions in you to power your curses.

Use those same emotions in warding spells. 

Use them in hexes. 

Use them in binding spells. 

I could be really specific about other uses, but those would have to be tailored to a specific illness and that would make this list way too long. Be creative with it, or send me an ask about it. 

Your craft is still valid whether you don’t have enough spoons for even the littlest things or not. 

Above all else, make sure you are safe.

I’ve literally never seen this post on my dash when it is not after dark and cold as balls. I’m beginning to think this is a conspiracy to get us eaten by some nocturnal tree demon.

My coworkers complain when we can’t assign homework over Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. As if somehow this interferes with their ability to teach their classes.

My coworkers complain that our Muslim students get to leave class to pray Salat at noon. Like, we have maybe one Muslim student every two or three years - thus far, all extraordinarily respectful and lovely kids! - and they slip quietly out of class to pray.

My coworkers find all this infuriating. “Imagine,” they cry, “If a Christian kid asked to do that.”

I calmly explain, every single time, that a Christian kid would never HAVE to do that, because every single Christian holy day is a day off school. Good Friday. Easter Sunday. Christmas day. Our entire country interrupts its financial and educational systems - schedules its WEEKS - around the Christian prayer customs and seasons.

God forbid we temporarily unclip the rope barrier and leave an opening for someone whose religious traditions vary from our own.
