Save Yiddish at Harvard!

Please join us in sending letters. Share this campaign as widely as possible!

Dear friends and community, We are concerned Jewish community members, and need your help to fight for the future of Yiddish language and culture. Harvard’s Yiddish program is under threat, and we need our communities and anyone interested in Yiddish to send this letter demanding that the University change course. With Harvard’s policy of arbitrary term limits or “time caps,” it has cycled through Yiddish instructors for decades and forced them out when they hit their stride, repeatedly destroying the small program along with them. Its Yiddish students periodically endure a full reboot of the program they have come to love and rely on. Harvard shockingly denied tenure to its only Yiddish literature professor last year, and now its “time caps” will force out its two remaining Yiddish faculty: its only Yiddish instructor, and its only Holocaust historian. The recently formed Harvard Academic Workers union has been attempting to negotiate a fair contract and an immediate end to time caps, but the University has chosen instead to stall negotiations, impose austerity, and cut programs. Harvard refused every opportunity to fix these problems before they culminated in the current crisis for Yiddish. This is part of a broader trend in higher education to impose austerity and dismantle programs under the guise of surviving “trying times,” and we must object and say that this is destruction, not survival. If Harvard, the richest university in the world, cannot support Yiddish and other small fields, who will? We must stand up for our friends and colleagues in Yiddish and in every other endangered language, culture, and program at Harvard and across higher education. Please join us in sending our objections to Harvard’s President, Provost, and Deans. Share this campaign as widely as possible in your networks, synagogues, and schools. We hope that every single person concerned about Yiddish and Jewish culture will see this and speak up for ours and every community that is affected.

the few minutes between the moment u yap in someones dms and they dont answer and you feel like you should get painfully dismembered for the crime of talking to someone vs the instant relief of normalcy you get when they text back and no ones killed you yet

As a disabled person: a world with no modern tech, no modern medicine, no electricity, and no single-use plastics is a world that cannot keep a great many disabled people alive

Disabled people have always been a part of humanity, and we always will be

And if an imagined future doesn't involve keeping us alive, I want no part of it

It’s Disability Pride Month!!

A simple thing with big impact you can do is continuing to mask in public spaces.

Help reduce the spread of airborne pathogens and keep each other safe!

Covid was AND STILL IS a mass disabling event.

Causing cardiac and cognitive function decline. And it IS STILL circulating. People are still dying. The vax reduces severity of infection but cannot prevent Long Covid!!

There are still disabled and vulnerable people who are essentially forced to stay in their homes since masking was dropped. Who cannot safely shop for food, or access doctors appts bc of the lack of masking, and deserve to be a part of society.

Please keep masking!

if you haven’t spent a lot of time deep in The Bible Belt or very specific communities you probably don’t even know what The Christian Flag™️ is, but if you do, seeing one in the wild after years of Getting Out feels so weird

every time someone talks about someone "faking disability to live on welfare" or anything to that effect i think about how my mom worked in law and directly knew of a case of a guy who had terminal brain cancer with an estimated few months to live and got rejected the first time he applied for disability income. like, he was 100% going to die and that wasn't disabled enough to not have to jump through a million hoops and get lawyers involved. non-disabled people "living off of welfare" is such a non issue because i cannot bring myself to care about the like, 3 people who maybe successfully do it compared to the thousands of people rejected who need aid

[theres-a-hole-in-my-wall]

also welfare is... ridiculously low? If you make over a certain amount of money they'll kick you off it, you have to have very specific life circumstances to even get it in the first place, etc

NOONE is doing all that for some chump change

poster from Spain that definitely should have gotten more criticism as one of the most egregious examples of modern day blood libel. I don’t know what’s worse, the mobile above the crib with bombs dangling from the Magen David, or the Nazi style armband with the Israeli flag on the Grim Reaper. the fact that these types of posters have made such a comeback with zero pushback or sense of recognition that they’re echoing literal Nazi and Soviet genocidal antisemitic imagery/propaganda is surreal to witness.
