The fact that thousands of Jewish families across the United States are being forced to decide whether to send their children to their first day of school or observe their religious practices is just more proof that antisemitism is culturally Ingrained and that westerners never cared about diversity or considering religious and ethnic minorities. Having one of the most important school days on one of the most important Jewish holidays (Rosh Hashanah) is so tone deaf, especially with the increasing amount of antisemitism and violence against America’s Jewish community this year.

Hey can we queers please remember that the rural queer experience has unique challenges thanks

Remember the Muslim Americans lost to islamophobic violence this 9/11. Remember the civilians whose lives were destroyed by the United States’ cruel war campaigns in the Middle East. Remember those tortured and killed indiscriminately by United States troops, humiliated and violated for soldiers’ sick fun. Remember there is blood on our hands too. The violence we committed cannot be forgiven.

Mexico's Supreme Court Decriminalizes Abortion : NPR

Mexico's Supreme Court has ruled that it is unconstitutional to punish abortion as a crime, a landmark ruling that clears the way for the legalization of abortion across the country.

The court took up the issue on Monday when eight of 11 justices voted to revoke a law in the state of Coahuila that punished women with up to three years in prison for having an abortion — even in cases of rape. The other three justices joined in the decision Tuesday, declaring such laws unconstitutional.

"Today is a historic day for the rights of all Mexican women," said Supreme Court Chief Justice Arturo Zaldivar on Tuesday.

"It is a watershed in the history of the rights of all women, especially the most vulnerable," he added.

The ruling sets a precedent that would force judges across Mexico — home to one of the world's largest populations of Catholics — to hand down similar rulings and expands early abortion for millions of women in Mexico's 32 states.

Ok I was done. I was done saying anything because this is a fun blog, not a political, religious, or activist blog. But as we lead up into Rosh HaShanah I am seeing more and more christians insisting that it is their right to celebrate it because Jesus was Jewish. I see them blowing their shofarot and “preaching” their virtues. I see them “spreading awareness” about the New Year, like it’s some new thing and not an ancient tradition. I see them telling actual Jewish people that it’s not cultural appropriation because Jesus was Jewish, like that gives them any right.

Leave our culture alone. We have been killed simply because we exist and we’re different, and you want to use our culture to feel special and holy and “not like the other Christians”?

Goyim, feel free to interact but please be respectful.

Not to be a bitter Jew but I’m thinking back to all those years when I was in college far away from my family and couldn’t go home for Rosh Hashanah or Passover because I had class right before and after. Meanwhile people can’t or won’t skip Thanksgiving this year even though there’s a pandemic. Astonishing tbh

anyways it’s a great day to donate to abortion funds! :)

I’m getting really tired of seeing takes that articulate that gender essentialism is Bad but only mention how it harms AMAB enbies and binary trans women. Because it contributes to this atmosphere that anyone who IDs as a man is still inherently suspect and deserve the issues created by gender essential. 

Cis women live is this weird fantasy world where they think “male privilege” means “men do not ever encounter suffering” or more specifically “men never encounter suffering due to their gender”. Completely forgetting the issues that cis men of color, openly queer men, disabled and mentally ill men, and trans men face every single day. And their bullshit “misandry” exacerbates and they just…don’t register how that’s a problem? 

It’s a sign of performative activism and it’s a sign that, like most people on tumblr, they’ve memorized combinations of words to say to get their Extra Special Woke Points but have never actually analyzed their own biases. 

Basically, trans men (and men in general) ARE HUMAN BEINGS and our feelings and experiences matter. Stop acting like the reason gender essential is bad is ONLY because it hurts trans women.
