If you don’t understand why, for over two years, the Jews in your life keep constantly talking about antisemitism, then you haven’t been listening.
What happened at Nova can happen (has happened) in Australia. What happened in Australia can happen (has happened) in England. What happened in England can happen (has happened) in LA. What happened in LA can happen (has happened) in San Diego.
There are so many more places I could add to the list.
All over the country. All over the world. Jews have been attacked. Have been murdered.
And all over the country. All over the world. Non-Jews have largely chosen to turn a blind eye. A deaf ear.
Those who’ve done more, we see you and we appreciate you.
But those who have done more are such a small portion of the larger population.
What will you have to say when it happens in your community? What have you said when it did?
If you cared enough to post and shout about the lives of any other group, but are silent when it comes to Jews, whether it be because it’s “unpopular” to speak up, or because it doesn’t seem close enough to you. The blood is on your hands too.
If you found it in yourself to speak about anyone else, why are Jews not enough for you to speak?
Our lives are on the line.
Remember Paul Kessler. Remember Matilda. Remember Benjamin Harouni. Remember Alexander Kleytman. Remember every victim of anti-Jewish violence.

An update for those not following Jorts’ twitter account, starting with a transcription of the Wellerman cover:
There once was a ship that put to sea The name of the ship was the Jorts and Jean The ship she rolled and her closet doors closed Oh no, where’s Jorts? Oh no!
Soon may the smarter cat come To save poor Jorts so orange and dumb One day when the butterin’s done We’ll take our leave and go
When Pam came on, she had a plan To teach our Jorts about garbage cans Pam meant well but her plans fell flat When HR said, “don’t butter the cat”
Soon may the smarter cat come To save poor Jorts so orange and dumb One day when the butterin’s done We’ll take our leave and go
Now Jean the smart cat comes She saves poor Jorts so orange and dumb Now that the butterin’s done We’ll take our leave and go

This is the largest Jorts post I found before I decided to stop, and combines a lot of memes in one convenient package.
Along with cats, of course. Smartly done!
The person running the Jorts Twitter is using it to promote unions, which is awesome.

the blessing of jorts. the patience of jean.
The sheer delight when you finally learn the story of Jorts and Jean, of whom you had only vaguely heard, and what’s more you find SOMEONE YOU KNOW among the Jorts poets
You pour water into a pitcher. You pore over books when you are absorbed in reading them.
You are weary when you’re tired. You are wary when you’re cautious.
When you’re intrigued, your interest is piqued. You stick your head out to peek through a doorway. When you’ve reached the height of an experience, you’ve peaked. (Peaking can also be a euphemism.)
A dragon’s hoard is its treasure pile. A horde is a large group of people, enemies, creatures, or other beings.
Muscles and ropes pulled tight are taut. When you’ve educated someone, you’ve taught them.
When you are waiting with breath held in anticipation, you are waiting with bated breath. You set a baited hook to lure fish.
Your palate is your sense of taste. A palette is for paints and colors. A pallet is for shipping or a makeshift bed.
When you are being careful and subtle for a task, you are being discreet. Discrete means separate or distinct; analog has a continuous signal while digital has discretized signals.
I’ve seen some wonderful fics out there with absolutely wonderful writing, just with a few words switched. It’s a bit like finding hair in your tasty food, I’ll admit. Hope this helps someone out there!
the fundraiser for Renée Macklin Good’s family has well surpassed its goal and is now closed — if you want to help Minneapolis residents as the city is terrorized by ICE raids, please turn your attention toward this fundraiser for local families, as well as Adelina Olivarez Cardona and Arturo Sanchez Chinos, both of whom are currently being detained.
