thinking of starting to wear a Magen David in these trying times.., much to consider

[zhooniyaa-waagosh]

I've researched antisemitism a lot because I DO want to convert when I am able to and because it's a vitally important thing to understand not just as a potential convert but also as someone who cares about the safety and wellbeing of Jews.

And something I've noticed recently is that the attitudes of progressives today regarding Jews in media and art is very reminiscent of the Soviet era, where Jewish participation in art and culture was praised as long as it wasn't actually Jewish.

Jewish actors are allowed to be loved as long as they never talk about being Jewish or only turn it into a punchline, like in Friends. Jewish writers and directors are allowed to be in the writing room as long as they don't make the show or movie too Jewish. Jewish comic artists are loved for their works and allowed to make their characters Jewish. . . as long as it's as a metaphor that can later be erased or twisted into something Christian.

I've noticed this very strongly in the reception to s2 of The Pitt; Noah Wyle was praised for including the Shema and having Robby wear a Magen David in s1, but in s2 where Robby is more openly Jewish in a way that isn't gifable or aesthetic or fascinating to a gentile audience, suddenly Robby is the evil villain and Noah Wyle is a baby killing evil Zionist and the show is just Israeli propaganda. Because Robby's Jewishness is no longer something that the fandom can ignore or turn into an aesthetic, it's front and center, it's something he openly talks about, he has a synagogue and a denomination and a complicated relationship with Judaism that doesn't fit into Christian ideas of religious trauma.

It's just very chilling, watching this switch happen in real time. Judaism is allowed to exist on tv when it's a punchline or a throwaway ocmment, but an openly and proudly Jewish character is too far for most people. Fans want Robby to reject his Jewishness, they want Wyle to perform a display of antisemitism to humble not just Robby but also himself, and it's reflective of a much larger pattern regarding Jews in media.

i made myself a costume for a con (a tiny local one) for the first time lol

i don’t own a sewing machine and i’m self taught in hand sewing which is why it’s kinda janky, but i’m still pretty proud of how it turned out, esp the mask :)

the cape has since been altered to be shorter

Shout out to mediocre black people actually. Shout out to black people who are bad at shit. You don’t need to be the best for your life to matter.

I tried to post this and my internet gave out so let's try again. I think a lot of people who are watching the pitt don't actually want to be watching the pitt, they want to be watching something else, and then they're upset when the show is something other than what they imagined in their heads. And I think that's really silly
