Not Quite Titled

Proceed.

(I cannot be the only one going feral over Kris desperately trying to keep Noelle's head above water as they walk deeper. Please tell me I'm not the only one or I'll go insane.)

How did this turn out for you?

That’s it.

That’s what Zionism actually is.

If anyone else is telling you that Zionism is some sort of right wing authoritarian Nazi like colonizer thing…

That person is either lying, ignorant, or a Nazi trying to smear the Jews.

Oh also, what Israel (the government) does is not reflective of what Israel (the general population) wants and believes. Stop condemning an entire country for the ignorance of the few. If you can make that distinction for the people of Palestine and Hamas, you can do so for the Israeli government and people. Don’t be a sheep.

The people you are talking about are still Jewish. Being Israeli or Zionist does not negate that,

That the accusations you are leveling at them are still the same accusations Christians and Muslims and Nazis leveled at Jews for centuries to oppress and murder us,

That you routinely dismiss and distort fundamental aspects of Jewish history, identity, and lived experience to meet your rhetorical goals,

That you dismiss the voice of any Jew who points any of this out as deception & manipulation. You portray us as sinister, devious, violent, controlling. Our explanations are treated as propaganda. You conflate members of our tribe with our oppressors.

As of this morning I was reluctantly looking for jobs because I love my job and don't want to leave it, but see: $10k raise problem solver.

As of noon today this was no longer an issue, because my boss called me with the news that I was getting a $10K merit raise.

I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. This is roughly $200 extra per paycheck. Enough to pay off debt faster, rebuild my savings, and spend a weekend a month in Milwaukee getting obscenely laid. The sex I'm going to have on $200 extra per paycheck. You can't even.

mushroom: can you feel your heart burning? can you feel the struggle within? the fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make. you cannot kill me in a way that matters
