A School Project, But One I’m Quite Proud Of

Sometimes I feel like I'm stuck on a ferris wheel. One minute I'm on top of the world the next I'm at rock bottom. Over and over, all day long. Because a lot about life is great. But nobody knows I'm transgender.

These are really starting to look like YouTube titles lmao

I wrongly trusted a Christian Zionist. And I know what they are like. My (Christian) grandma will go on and on about Israel and cry for the Jews, but minutes later will say that all Jews will go to Hell for not believing in Jesus.

I’ve known this friend for four years now and became much closer with him last year when he expressed anger at the people applauding October 7th. We’ve spent the last year talking about this stuff, sending each other ridiculous things said, and sending happy Jewish culture things. It’s been great. In a lonely time in most other places, I did not feel alone because of him.

And yet, he voted for Trump. I don’t get it. It goes against so much of what we agreed on (outside of Israel as well). Sorry, but a man saying he’ll deport the “enemies from within” (being democrats)(source), he’ll declare a national emergency and use the military for mass deportations (source), he’d get away with killing someone (source), and police should have “one really violent day” (source) sounds all too familiar. If you voted for that today (and, Hell, one of those comments goes back to 2016), I have no doubt you’d vote for the man (who’s also a felon but “better for the economy!”) saying the same exact things in 1933.

i might be posting some skateboarding stuff on here

Sure, it has been disheartening and depressing to see many Western opinion leaders I once admired abandon reason, abandon journalistic integrity, embrace ahistorical, counterfactual views and rail against Israel.

At the same time, though, I feel an overwhelming sense of nausea noticing many of Israel's loudest advocates in the West are deeply awful people who include enemies of democracy, Christian Nationalists, MAGA conservatives, and bigots of several varieties.

Those "allies" aren't friends to the Jewish State or the Jewish People.

I have nothing more insightful to say about this, I just wanted to acknowledge the constant, chronic nausea this seems to cause in me because...while I don't see it being discussed much, I'm betting that many of you feel the same.

Movements like Log Cabin Republicans and Queers for Palestine require a commitment to either dishonesty or willful ignorance to sustain their worldview.

MAGA Jews are no different in this regard.

So funny watching guys exercise because one arm is always doing better than the other

Oded Lifshitz brought Gazan children needing medical attention into Israel to receive the best care. If one believes that Palestinians are currently going through a genocide, and there exists no hardship in Israel, you would think that he would be seen as a Nicholas Winton of his time. Yet I have not seen a single pro-Palestine influencer condemn his murder or say anything about the things he did to help Palestinians.

It's my mum's birthday!

You can tell that Percy Jackson is Jewish in the same way you can tell that Will Byers is Jewish: both their mothers are so, so incredibly Jewish.
