More Than a Puzzle Piece

This is Shelby Shoup. She is a Jewish woman who is facing battery charges for throwing drops of chocolate milk, and is being doxxed and having her and her family’s personal information exposed. Her venmo is shelby-shoup, if you can donate and help her, please do.

People are acting like she deserves this, like it’s a despicable act, but she literally threw drops of chocolate milk at them, and she’s facing battery charges. Some people say she should be charged with assault. She’s being targeted heavily by antisemitic attacks, which surpises no one. I haven’t seen anyone talk about her yet, and I really hope she is able to get through this because she does not deserve these charges or these attacks.

UPDATE:

The former Rabbi of Tree of Life went on MSNBC just last night to implore Trump not to come.

I have never been told this before, but in case some uninformed assfedora decides to tell me this, I would like to have to ready.

First off, yes, I am autistic. Second, yes I actually CAN be in theatre and I NEED theatre. And third, yes, I don’t particularly like to lie.

HOWEVER, I don’t see acting as lying. Let me explain the differences.

With acting, people usually pay for a ticket or sit somewhere to watch someone take on and play a persona. Generally people KNOW that what is happening AT THAT MOMENT is not true (I say at that moment because historical plays exist). They’re watching people take on personas, usually if not always, with the mutual understanding that what is going on AT THAT MOMENT is not actually happening.

With lying, however, it’s a single-sided situation (try saying that 10 times fast). One party knows that what they’re saying or doing is a lie, but the other doesn’t. Like, if I ate a stash of chocolate, knowing it wasn’t mine, and someone asked me if I did it and I said I didn’t, THAT’S a lie.

“But what about lying in the script?”

There’s an actor outside of the character. Duh. The actors share a mutual understanding.

This umpire basically accused her of cheating! And penalized her for his accusations. This is touchy for Serena being that they have been conspiring against her for the longest with the whole drug testing. She’s had it with them opposing her with no merit or basis! SHE HAS NEVER CHEATED which has been proven time after time with those negative results. and to accuse her of that during this game is why she is extremely and rightfully emotional! The pain and humiliation in her voice says it all. It really hurt her for him to accuse her of that so publicly too. He announced it during the match on the mic to everyone and now that’s like a stain on this moment forever. That’s why she’s demanding he apologize to her and say it over the loudspeaker. To set the record straight that she didn’t do what he alleged.

Honestly she has faced the most her entire career and her mental fortitude to endure it and still be dominant is a miracle. ALWAYS A QUEEN
