at this point I think I have to just accept that my health isn't going to play ball with me, so I'm going to publish this forever-draft and hope that someone else picks up the pieces. the pieces to the puzzle of "fuck you Meig, I detest how you are seen as the face of dinosaur tumblr"
let's talk about a-dinosaur-a-day
meig's other blogs
so ey runs a-dinosaur-a-day, jewish-kulindadromeus, and zygodactylus
what does meig think of guilt by association?
let's play by eir rules then
underneath the cut is stuff I gathered from the people in that post's blogs. tw for anti arabism and islamophobia and other stuff I don't remember
let's look at another post reblogged by Meig
you can't preach about "nazis at your table" while having fucking david-goldrock on your blog like it's nothing. tw again for islamophobia and anti-arabism
Meig hates being called a zionist, and has many posts going on about "why do people always call me a zionist, don't they know I'm super wishy washy centrist 'both sides bad' on this issue??"
like I didn't even go into the fact that ey is mutuals with shofarsogood, who in turn is mutuals with prismatic-bell
I have Heard of Zeev, arie, kfir, dov, Yona, eyal, Ayala, dror and many more
But shual is new to me
שועל - Shual - Fox/Jackal, a path between two places
Yeah it's not a common one.
Mentioned twice in Torah: a son of Zophah, son of Hepher of Asher (1 Chronicles 7:36); and as the name of a specific region in 1 Samuel 13:17
But despite the rarity of the name, I wouldn't change it for the world.
Picked from the chabad tradition of selecting an animal name to bring strength and positive qualities of the animal to those who are sick (which I need half the time honestly)
But then there are the meanings society assigns a fox.
A clever animal, a sly hunter. Looked upon as a trickster by outsiders who don't understand, but by those who know them, they are playful little fluffballs. Good at surviving, hard to trap, curious and eager to explore but knowing the importance of home and chosen family.
Beyond that, there are "fox" and "hedgehog" learners. Fox learners (like me) who gain knowledge across many areas and use the crossover to help expand and look at problems differently. Hedgehog learners, who delve deeply into a single or a handful of topics and become specific experts according to a single viewpoint. We each have our strengths and are better when we work together.
I like my name and as much as it has been shaped by me, I find it shapes me in ways I don't expect. Much as the path you take shapes you.
Collectively, taken with my full name, it tells my story in ways that keep surprising me, even though I had some choice in it. Well, some of a choice, my friends who have stuck with me and supported me had already nicknamed me "Fox" so there isn't much I can do. 😂
Funny how life goes.
ID: a screenshot of a post that @prismatic-bell reblogged from @edenfenixblogs
@silly-little-zio: “your criticism of israel needs to be more than just tik tok buzzwords and al jazeera quotes for me to take you seriously”
@david-goldrock: “If you say "genocide ethnostate apartheid" bs, and then I ask you to explain any of these terms, and you need to google an example, you, my friend, are way too exposed to propaganda”
End ID.
I wonder what this david-goldrock person thinks of Gaza
ID: a screenshot of a post from sep 5. a tumblr user, who i have censored the url of, said: “Free Gaza”
@thebrightestwitchofherage: “We did, in 2005!”
@david-goldrock: “And look where it brought us.
Control Gaza Again!”
End ID.
I wonder what this david-goldrock person thinks of muslims…
(islamophobic hate speech and racist caricature under the cut)
ID: a screenshot of a video post that @david-goldrock reblogged from @ambient-entropy on april 26
The video is of an animation, in the frame you can see an islamophobic caricature with a turban, a big hooked nose, big sharp teeth, and a green beard. the caricature has a big evil grin and is cranking some sort of machine that sends green tentacles into the ground.
@shimamon27: “The evil roots of Jihad
It spreads to destroy the western world!
Coming from Qatar, Iran and their various proxies, the only way to stop them, is for the western world to unite!”
@deborahdeshoftim5779: “It's high time for the West to wake up and stop the anti-civilisational plague of Islamic jihad from spreading.”
going to just post some more screenshots. leaving them undescribed and undrowned. these are going to have no alt text i’m sorry. feel free to take them and drown and/or image describe them yourself, or ask if you want them image described and i will get on that when that day comes
