Good call. And if they were the kinds of people who were active in calling out their atrocious administration they could've seen that as a call to camaraderie. I spent a lot of time with Americans doing activism, they exist in Israel too.

I've been working with Jewish Voice for Peace for about a year and a half now, and it's crazy how so many Jews don't realize that 'never again' means EVERYONE. (Deleted and reposted for a typo)

Did I get any of my intended art tasks done today? No. Did I get other things accomplished today? Yeah! So that's a win for my procrastination motivation!
Yeah. I saw Heather Cox Richardson share something about it so I'm likely to trust it 🤷♀️
Feel free to bust that out at karaoke 😆
Tune is womanizer by Brittany Spears
And it permeates so many areas. I'm a gardener with a hard line on nonnative invasive plant replacement and the push back I get is such BS. So I wrote this parody:
Yup. And every accusation is a confession.
I think of that one or the Eric Andre shooting meme.
He sees a border wall and he wants to paint it black He is a racist and a fascist and a hack He is a nazi and does nothing but tell lies Get out the guillotine and then we'll wave goodbye
Surprised? No, not for the past decade. Angry? Every freaking day. Scared? ONE HUNDRED PERCENT! But also lamotrigine had been great for me since 2003 so there's that.
Yeah it's getting REALLY old being told that being Jewish means I support a theocratic ethnostate 🙄. They think the venn diagram is a circle. It's as if this is a global game of tag and the land Israel occupies is the only base on which I can be safe. It's gross.
100% the guy who designs jp's suits doesn't have entirely shitty ideas. But fucking make them fit right!
I remember when Lularoe was suddenly everywhere and even my sloppy goblin self could see how lousy that stuff was. the completely misaligned pattern on everyone's backsides being an eyesore a mile away.
Sheboygan WI. I'd visit my peeps more often. Barcelona coz Gaudi is amazing Sanok Poland coz my favorite painter is from there Brattleboro VT coz it's nice Macas ecuador coz my unofficial big bro is from there and he says the weather is amazing and it's in a freaking CLOUD FOREST
And it's possible I could be because anti Jewish assholes are everywhere! But until that day I'm not going to put my hand to my forehead and cry "woe is me" and use that as a hall pass to support something as awful as Israeli war crimes and genocide.
white woman and being financially secure being the two most prominent - I'm not going to pretend I'm oppressed to escape that lineage. My Jewishness has never impeded my success in school or work.I've never been targeted personally, so I'm not going to cosplay that trauma, real as it is for many.
As if we should pity them above all others and indulge their government's every whim. When I see that such a majority of them are privileged and white, all I can think of is the race to innocence. I don't like the historical track record of my demographics -
It's as if zionists think it's a game of tag with Jews as the sole targets of everyone else, and if they don't get their theocratic ethnostate (backed by the finances and colonial habits of the UK and USA) as "base" then that means that everyone will kill all of them with impunity...
Yup. That's really a good point. I'm surrounded by so many people ready to mobilize and support each other to stop this nonsense that I think I'm in a bit of a bubble and I forget how this can frighten compliance rather than steeling resolve. Thanks for that.
I would've expected branching out to the majority would do more to make us realize we're all vulnerable. While I know their goal is to expand, that they never just stay to one group, that we are all vulnerable... idk, I don't understand these folks anyway so I'm not surprised at my misunderstanding
Interesting. I guess this shows I've got more misanthropic leanings than I thought because I would've expected them to focus on minorities to keep the illusion of separation between groups. That the comfort of the majority being exempt would keep them complacent rather than empathetic.
Cool! It's a bit more expensive than I have money for now too, but seems an amazing price for what it is
This looks fascinating, though it doesn't work with my schedule at the moment. Might consider it in the future if it runs again
Gift card please 🫱
Thanks for taking one for the team
The way I view it is that I'm glad for people who have the patience to help ex-maga with their deconstruction. But much like Amy from Honey i Shrunk the Kids getting dragged out of the nasty puddle of whatever, they are all gooey gross. Catch me after the Russells of the world have helped out.
"If you're going to care about minorities you also need to care equally about the people who hate minorities" ... coz that makes sense 🙄
It's ridiculous how some of my fellow jews think "never again" only applies to jews 🤨🙄. Do y'all not hear yourselves?
They only disavow rugged individualism when it let's men vote on behalf of their entire households and remove rights from women. Suddenly togetherness is inherent to human flourishing, tho it's not flourishing at all. what they want is to absorb her humanity into theirs, and render her mute.
If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages
It's a tall task. I won't quit. (Mugwort, Himalayan blackberry, wine berry, bittersweet)
100%. What they try to pass off as ineptitude is indeed malicious negligence.
I've had a mostly delightful Sunday, but that was tarnished a bit by an acquaintance on fb who respond to an article about a local student kidnapped by ICE and taken from CT all the way to LA with "there must be more to the story"... might have to save upsetting documentaries for another day.
Gotta look into this! I'm not on tiktok anymore but...
Yeah. We need more Gilear Faeth types
Mehdi Hasan on liberal Zionists feeling unwelcome in the Democratic Party: "Are you kidding me? Spare me the self-victimization. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social still hasn’t been endorsed by Schumer/Jeffries. If anything, it's progressives who are being shut out."
The mustache stays.
Sim Kern said this ages ago in Tiktok video. They originally started their presence there to combat Anti-Semitic tropes in literature, just to have to deal with Israel being the biggest source of it, living up to the stereotypes.
"Since the 1980s, Republicans have relied on their voters believing the worldview leaders projected, even when the facts told a different story. It is not clear they can continue to rely on that blind loyalty." Over 4 decades. It's taken over 4 decades for the crack in the brainwashing to happen. 🤦♀️
Did someone hack her account? Or did she get there before all too many democrats did?
"The IDF claims there is no starvation." Uggghhhh. They know the jedi mind trick isn't real right?
we don't need AI. really what we need are better word processors, more accessible reference materials, a more literate culture, more resources for education, more time in the day to read and write and think, fewer useless documents and emails, fewer distractions.
Maybe I'm just late to the party, but I just realized there is a benefit to not enabling edits to posts/ comments. If I like or share something, it's not like the OP can edit it after the fact to something totally different while my like is still attached to it.
*oppressed
Sometimes neighbors torture us with bad smells like dryer sheets or secondhand smoke. And sometimes they torture you when you're walking the dog before breakfast and you're hungry and there's BACON AND PANCAKES WAFTING FROM SOME RANDOM HOUSE THAT I'M NOT IN!
Coz I too am a privileged white woman. I am also Jewish (mostly by heritage not practice, but these past few years have had me engaged in the community on behalf of Jews AND Palestinians). I do NOT go parading my fear about how opposed I am just to alleviate the irritation I have with my whiteness.🤷♀️
This. I have an acquaintance who keeps posting shit that is all "woe is me, it's so hard being Jewish" and I'm like "you grew up the privileged white daughter of two lawyers, went to private schools, decided to become Jewish as an adult." Is it just me or does that giving "race to innocence"?
If only he had more encouragement in art, he could've squandered his generational wealth on art supplies and maybe saved us all a lot of strife.
I mean, at least he knows what perspective is? As a pre-k art teacher, if my kiddos were drawing rectangular prisms and produced this they'd get points for those, but the horizon leaves a bit to be desired. He's got 999999999999 problems, but rectangular prisms ain't one, I guess.
YES
A little history lesson, in 1924 (the year we were granted US citizenship), there were roughly only 250K-300K Natives left in the US out of millions. Not surprising the US gov. and a lot of White folks don't believe they killed enough cuz WE ARE STILL HERE. Our survival is their greatest failure.
People living under fascism didn’t survive by giving up joy—they protected it. They held onto the things fascism tried to erase: art, friendship, jokes, rituals, language, memory. Not as escapism but as resistance. As proof they were still human. Joy isn’t frivolous under fascism. It’s strategic.
ALL CLOTHES MUST BE COMPATIBLE WITH MY HECKIN ANTICS!
Have I mentioned I'm ready for my elder era?
Teaching phonics is like giving kids a Lego set. Whole Language is like trying to teach them to build but giving them everything already put together.
Whole Language as reading instruction is so useless, and that people are still publishing about it is ridiculous. If you don't thoroughly understand phonics, how can you articulate different accents in a dialog? Enjoy silly nonsense words like Lewis Carroll used? Making up portmanteaus?
Dear Media, STOP calling RFK Jr a vaccine "skeptic". He is an antivaxx liar. An anti-science fearmonger. An exploitive brand builder. He has NOTHING to do with thoughtful skepticism. Don't normalize false balance, middle ground fallacies, or his harmful BS.
So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?
Something the Mamdani win demonstrates is the extent to which the reigning cadre of ancient, establishment, centrist Dems think it’s more important to be on good terms with their GOP colleagues than it is to represent their own voters, and how thoroughly sick of this literally everyone is.
For real though. I'm a teacher and I didn't even think of that. Maybe I'm just too mad!
Exactly! Incuriosity is literally one of the biggest issues in society ever!
Yay. Destroy the environment so they can increase class sizes even more beyond the human capacity to monitor and assess. Human capabilities "can't compete" with their shiny new toy so let's sacrifice entire watersheds to get that sweet capital!
Why they would think making his beard even more delightful would be a bad thing is unfathomable to me. Just make it longer, and he'll be approaching Wizard status, so bonus points?
Demand an affidavit ballot and submit it. Your vote will count.
“DEI” wth a hard R
Heck, there are probably more Christian zionists than there are jews of any kind, it seems. Tbh, I didn't look too hard at the numbers, but a cursory glance tells me there are multiple 10s of millions of Christian zionists but only 15ish million Jews worldwide.
Gotta bookmark this list of reading material that is likely WAY over my head but that i want to read anyway.
I love how most photos of clocks are at 10:10 to make them look "happy" in advertisements.
I mean, I do tend to say "... once a day" at this point coz I prefer a 24 hr clock. Also, we point at our wrist to ask time even though that seemed almost obsolete for a couple decades. Time went from a wrist watch to a phone. Then the phone went back into to the watch for a lot of folks.
One of my favorite random things is when my phone, unprompted, accepted into its autopredict settings the phrase "historically illiterate fuckwit Charlie kirk" after having typed it once.
This was the St. Anger of military parades.
Keep on keeping on, and I'll keep reminding folks in blue spaces that while the vibes we associate with rural areas and red states is indeed present, the progressively minded in those same places kinda have to be extra badass, tbh.
Awesome job! I live in a very blue area, so moments like this can draw a huge crowd with a general feeling of safety. Mad props to all y'all out there in less populated and far more red areas!
The only thing cute than a double peets pillow is a quadruple peets pillow.
For 45,000,000 smackers I could teach at my current salary for 6 centuries.
"When the going gets tough, the tough get ice cream." - Aunt Angie, my grammy's twin sister Happy #nokingsday y'all
Yeah. As much as I hate the implications of creating an echo chamber I also want to have, you know, standards. Standards are good.
I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️ toonyart.com/s/PSZine.pdf
Thorough comprehension tests must be passed with at least a score of 90%
At the core of all my beliefs is that I do not believe in a hierarchy when it comes to human life. Yes, it can be and is that simple.
I 100% thought the same thing about the scuba gear! So I thought the phrase wasn't so much a dig on the weaving but on being ridiculously impractical about it. What's next? Underwater cross-stitch? Granted I was also less than 10 when I first heard it.
Gentle reminder: don't wait until they put people in ovens to call out fascism for what it is.
🤣 sure.
The cheeks alone won him the title. Straight fact.
Thanks! Driving a big thing with cool gears and mechanics is fun. The glorification of machinery isn't the issue! Rumor has it that when a large parking garage was set to be demolished, oh, 20 years ago, they sold raffle tickets for who would push the button to make it implode. I'd have bought one!
You really don't understand anything I said. I also know enough men who don't subscribe to your norms, so maybe it's you who doesn't understand men. And if you read the post it even specifically said "these aren't toys..." so maybe you don't understand the post.
Honestly if you want to drive impressive equipment find someone who will let you operate a huge ass backhoe, or maybe a bulldozer? Even my dad's Kubota is a delight! Go dig holes and plant trees!

As soon as I saw this post I knew the American Heritage museum would pop up real fast. My roommate LOVES tanks for some reason. as a birthday gift I crowd funded for him to drive a Sherman tank there. A while group went up and we watched, then toured the museum. Glorification 100%
And I'm already seeing people post about how this is the result of spreading antisemitic "lies about genocide, colonialism, and apartheid".
I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few: 1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.
I think being a preschool teacher should count as a preexisting condition
I don't quite follow your criticism. I never said our validation had to do with anything. I'm talking about trump treating his violence as validation for his views, and violence from opposition as invalidating ours. They've got a serious persecution complex and it's pathetic.
He incites his minions to violence for self-righteous ends. He'll also try to incite violence from the opposition to invalidate their message, and if that doesn't work, his minions will show up stir up trouble. His violence is validation for his ideology. Our violence, real or not, invalidates us.
I have had so many students named after honorifics: several named Major, and of course lots named King, Prince, and Princess. Not many Queens. I think there was a Colonel or two. I had one or 2 named Sire. I know a guy who named his kid Sachem. Unsure if he's affiliated with any tribal nations.
8, (final) What does getting out of the way mean? Vote for people who are most likely to support public policy that'll do at least some of the work you are unwilling to do.
7 There are enough games for everyone to have not only what they need but what they want. It sucks that the generations who did the taking aren't here to do the paying. Oh well. It's up to us. Get busy helping or get out of the way.
