For our illustrious Turkish emissary
Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”
So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”
Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.
Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.

Part of Kehilla Maguén David, this Orthodox synagogue is located in Polanco and is home to a Syrian congregation originating from Aleppo.
I feel like I’m beating a dead horse but I’m feeling angry and just dumbfounded right now and I need to vent!!! It takes another level of sheer brain rot to genuinely be a living intelligent creature and in your heart of hearts believe Jews are the foreigners and “white colonizers” in… oh let me think… Judea. Y’know. Just the place we got the fucking name Jew from.
It’s seriously just breaking my mind and making me wonder what hope we have. In these moments it becomes so painfully clear why Israel is so needed. Jew hatred is a literal brain disease. There is no reasoning, no logic, no winning against, no nothing. It’s pure brain rot. You can’t argue with a stupid person, you can’t change the mind of someone who doesn’t have a mind to change in the first place. These people have their brains fully rotted from Jew hatred. To see this sheer amount of indoctrination and acceptance into bullshit propaganda that falls apart at the simplest of knowledge is unfathomable to me. It literally feels like I’m in some parallel universe or something, I don’t even have the words to contextualize how this feels. Literally what the hell is going on!!!
Leftist Antisemites: "America only supports Israel because they bribe Congress through the AIPAC lobby--"
a) Cool, name one country that doesn't bribe Congress through lobbying, including over a dozen Arab countries. Israel ain't special.
This brief takes a deep, unprecedented dive into a newly available tranche of data tracking foreign influence in the U.S. political process,
b) Cool, look up how many BILLIONS Qatar has donated to American universities over the last two decades.
Foreign countries such as China and Qatar have poured $29 billion into campuses over the past few years. ‘Hostile powers are buying influenc
c) Look up where most Hamas leaders are staying.
Despite worsening conditions in Gaza, top Hamas leaders live in luxury abroad, amassing billions, while civilians face famine, poverty, and
d) Which American demographic supports Hamas the most--oh, you'll never guess! University students, and college age kids.
...
Hamas lives in Qatar, Qatar bribes universities, university-aged kids support Hamas.
"Tell me what you accuse the Jews of, I'll tell you what you're guilty of."
Bastille was right. How am I gonna be an optimist about this. Also right about eh eho eho.
Please never forget that ēheu, what the background chorus is repeating in Pompeii, just means ‘alas’ or ‘oh no’ or perhaps ‘shucks’ in Latin, which is of course the correct response to realizing you’re on an island where a volcano is exploding.
people are so allergic to the concept of just saying “i don’t like this” instead of making up incoherent arguments as to why you don’t like it / why it doesn’t work. you can just say you don’t like something. not every opinion needs to go to trial.
or why its problematic and anyone who likes it should be arrested or something.

Went to an Oedipus Rex adaption today and my friends were debating whether the Oedipus/Jocasta age gap was problematic. Like guys…I think their relationship has bigger issues
In 2026, the chicest thing a gay actor can do is never explicitly come out as gay but also make it abundantly clear that he is. Coming out is too modern. Staying closeted is too old fashioned. But this method merges contemporary freedom with Old Hollywood glamour and allure, and it weeds out the dumbest people who truly don’t get it. I call it the Pascal Method.

no she doesn’t
You clearly don't go here or to queer history and signaling, or both, enough to have this conversation and I'm not going to explain it to you. You could have asked questions, you could have done even a modicum of research. You didn't and you made yourself look ignorant. Goodbye.

You’re watching a YouTuber that discusses online radicalization, at some point they get radicalized in the opposite direction. You sigh and move on. You’re watching a YouTuber that discusses online radicalization. At some point they get radicalized in the opposite direction. They show no self awareness that this has happened. You move on. You’re watching a YouTuber that discusses online radicalization. They have excellent insight into how distrust and misinformation lead to conspiratorial thinking and how the internet as we know it today is designed to feed these impulses. At some point they get radicalized themselves. You’re watching a YouTuber.
Happy pride month to all of my exhausted queer jews
Having electricity in my home is so great. Most of the humans that have ever lived didn't have this.
I can be like "I want a cup of hot tea" and I can go and make one and I don't have to light a fire or anything.
I don't have to light a fire or anything.
Several rabbis have entered the chat.
BLACK JEWS (…nuff said.)
Reblogging because there are enough people out there who don’t get that Jews come in all hues.
