Omg, I Can't Believe How A Journey That Started With An AI Art Addiction Led Me To Discover A Community

Queer Jews Project Day 25 - Edie Windsor and Thea Spyer

Edie and Thea first met in 1963 on the dance floor of a Greenwich Village restaurant. Edie was a computer programer at IBM, and Thea was a clinical psychologist. They started dating in 1965, and got engaged in 1967. Thea proposed with a circle diamond brooch because a ring would have led to questions and possible outing. Over the next several decades, they lived happy but hidden lives.

But Thea’s health started to decline.

So Edie and Thea got married in 2007 – in Canada – because same-sex marriage wasn’t legal in the United States. Thea died in 2008. Edie found herself with a literal broken heart – and a massive, unjust tax bill.

The Defense of Marriage Act prevented Edie from claiming the spousal inheritance tax exemption that heterosexual couples received. So Edie sued the United States Government. The case eventually made it to the U.S. Supreme Court – and Edie won. DOMA was struck down in 2013, and that set the stage for same-sex marriage to be legalized across the United States two years later.

"There is a crack in everything that is how the light comes in" Leonard Cohen ❤️🕯️🙏

Part 2: 🌊💥Disaster strikes when an earthquake shakes the ocean floor, causing rock formations to crumble. Ren's family is in danger, with his sick little brother and dying father unable to escape. The community is in chaos, with no one stepping up to help. 😰

CrisisPart 3: 🙏✨Amidst the turmoil, Ren's childhood friend, a kind-hearted girl fox, encourages him, saying, "You may not be a super fox like your dad, but you will be a super fox like Ren." Her words ignite a tiny spark within him, but Ren still doubts himself. 💭 #FlickerOfHope

Part 4: 🎨💭Desperate to save his family, Ren starts sketching an escape plan with his tail. He pours his heart into the blueprint, but his strokes are shaky and uncertain. As he works, aftershocks cause more rocks to fall, narrowly missing him. 😱 #RaceAgainstTimePart

5: 🌊💪With the blueprint complete, Ren attempts to lead his family to safety. They navigate through a treacherous maze of collapsing caverns and strong currents. Ren's father, weak and frail, struggles to keep up. Ren pushes forward, doubt still weighing heavily on his heart. 😰 #PerilousJourney

Renard the sea fox

Part 1: 🦊🎨

In a vibrant underwater world, Renard (or Ren for short), the sea fox, is born into a family of legendary artists. Despite having no limbs, he dreams of creating masterpieces. But his attempts to paint with his tail and teeth are met with laughter and mockery. Feeling defeated, Ren abandons his dreams, just like everyone abandoned him. 💔

That is right, the flag of the AI messed up. In such sensitive topics, I should be super accurate and precise. My intention of solidarity can't be enough if my messages come across as hurtful or painful. I take responsibility for being unable to express my hope for peace and prosperity both for Jews and for Arabs. I love people of every kind. And I'm so sad that I can't protect the most innocent of all - the children. The mistake was the comparisons, and the focus on justice at any cost - but in fact, it is not a zero-sum game. It is a total sum, a total sum of the same land where so much human blood has been shed during a prolonged period. I don't want to blame, I just want to acknowledge the universal human pain. The grief, the insanity, the horror. I have seen and heard too much pain, various disastrous assaults… And all I feel is powerless, sad, and hopeful that we will choose another path. With the help and support of the world, that will help us find compassion in ourselves and each other. I pray for the day our world will know no more wars, assaults, and apathy to pain. Because trauma is never erased; if not healed, it always passes forward. I am extremely thankful for the insights of the peace activist Thích Nhất Hạnh (RIP) and his followers who have opened my eyes and opened my heart to seeking connection, love, and compassion. I have a long way to go to be a better person, but I firmly believe in the human right of Arabs and Jews to have a place where each can live a secure and respectful life in harmony and connection ♥️🙏

hey @staff how about you stop nuking palestinian and transfems’ blogs and stop advocating for israel?

i am disgusted that this was approved for blaze, meanwhile palestinian and transfem bloggers are getting taken down right and left. the palestine flag isn’t even correct on the child on the left

peace in palestine will only come when palestine is free.

also @queka-store shame on you for profiting off of genocide.

Pain and hope
