"All it takes is faith and trust"- Peter Pan @officialdisneyfans-blog - Tumblr Blog

I walked onto my campus to see this today.

I came down a set of stairs, to see this before me. My heart stopped in my chest, I stopped talking mid sentence. I was paralyzed with fear. I could only see the bold red swastika, I couldn’t read the signs.

How could they just display a notorious hate symbol - the Nazi swastika - out in the open like that?

I was very abruptly reminded I am Jewish and this is not a safe place for me. In before “it’s a Buddhist symbol” - it’s red and not facing the right way. That’s a Nazi Swastika.

I want it to be known that the University of South Carolina did not stop this. Multiple students, myself included, came forward, expressing feeling unsafe, or distaste and disgust and asked for its removal. The university defended their ability to fly a hate symbol that strikes fear and memories of horror into minority students – because they weren’t really Nazis, they were protestors arguing for “free speech” and “anti-censorship”.

Nevermind that I panicked as I was led away by a friend. Nevermind that I was reminded I could very easily be at risk. Nevermind that I felt scared and unsafe and worried for other Jewish students. Nevermind that I confronted them and explained how uncomfortable and scared it made me - how I told them I’d met Neo-Nazis face to face - how my own extended family had been murdered in the Holocaust - that they would never understand that fear.

What the University of South Carolina doesn’t realize is, they have set a very scary precedent.

It’s okay if you fly a hate flag, or have a hate symbol as your icon. So long as you don’t actually *say* ‘wow I hate Jews’ you’re fine, it’s your “freedom”; What this means is, any antisemite, any Neo-Nazi or Nazi-sympathizer, can now proudly display a swastika… so long as they don’t actually SAY they’re a Nazi. What this means is, this campus just became a whole lot less safe for Jews. Now we have to work twice as hard to stay safe.

Share this. Let it be known that USC officials let them fly this for the duration of their time on Greene Street, the main street of our campus.

@jewish-privilege @littlegoythings @tikkunolamorgtfo and other jumblr blogs: please help me get this noticed. My university did not listen to me.

Every year, on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, we pause to remember those men and women who have died or suffered in all wars and peacekeeping operations. In Australia and other allied countries, including New Zealand, Canada and the United States, 11th of November became known as Armistice Day – a day to remember those who died in World War One. The day continues to be commemorated in Allied countries. Since the dreadful moment that war was declared, millions of people have suffered loses and suffered the pain of devastation. Pain and suffering was the most common feeling during and after the world war. We now stand together, as a nation, as one, to grieve together and to stand together. We mourn together for their loses still and we always will do. But we come together with a common cause and we've grown stronger together. We remember them. We remember their sacrifices and we will always remember their bravery and their courage. We will always remember that they sacrificed their lives so that we have what we have now. We thank you for your courage, your bravery and for your success. We thank you for giving us what we have now. We thank you for the nation safety that has given us the chance of working, living and breathing. Lest We Forget.

Competition Ideas And Websites

Hello All,

I’ve been thinking about doing a competition for a while now. I was hoping you guys as my wonderful followers and Walt Disney lovers, could help with coming up with some ideas. Whether it be drawings, costume dress up, fan fiction writing- whatever you can think about.

I’ve also been deciding on a website not only for Disney but also other fandoms like Harry Potter, Doctor Who, The Librarians and much, much more. This website would contain fanfiction, Twitter updates, Facebook updates, competitions- and if in the future possible meet ups.

The website would be about bringing us all together and sharing stories, ideas and jokes about our favourites fandoms.

I mention the website to you because I’d like help with running it, I of course of course would be administrator but I’d like some others to help keep the website moving and entertaining.

Send me a message if your interested in working together and also any ideas for the competition.

Hope to hear from you xx
