please stop these games

Don't even try signing up for Artfight if you're Jewish. I posted something totally unpolitical on their Discord where I got the star in my handle and promptly got banned for genocide denial. I didn't post anything political on that server, my Art Fight profile, and nothing "discriminatory or hateful" anywhere else.

“The Elders of Zion […] rule the world and do not like Hitler and are doing all they can to overthrow him.”

this just sounds like:

and all the other AIPAC/Zios/Mossad/elites/insert dog whistle here conspiracies running rampant right now.

you would think that facts and logic would prevail through the record of history. there were no Elders of Zion controlling anything. (((they))) did not stop Hitler and the industrial murder machine of the Holocaust. there’s no secret (((cabal))) puppeteering the world, no ZOG, no Jewish space lasers or genies or secretly engineered spy pigeons. facts and logic would seemingly make this easy to understand.

this hatred is not about Medinat Yisrael. yes, there are many problems there, from corrupt/criminal politicians to growing radicalism to violence to societal unrest to ptsd, etc, and those need to be addressed, which is true of most countries on this earth, but those aren’t the reasons for the hatred and the disinformation and the historical revisionism and the cultural erasure. the domestic issues of a nation roughly the size of New Jersey, or even of the conduct, casualties, and destruction as consequences of a terrible war, are not the reason that every comment section on every social media site (sometimes on posts that have nothing to do with Jews!) are brimming with judenhass. they are not the reason that Jews in cities across the world are afraid to openly wear Stars of David and are accosted on the street. that’s just the convenient excuse. the diaspora is sick with antisemitism. it is sick with extremism and the vaunting of demagoguery.

people online celebrating and justifying wholesale slaughter, be that on a kibbutz or a beach in Australia, use political jargon as a cover, thinking it masks the rot underneath the helpful buzzwords. it doesn’t, it’s the same hatred it’s always been.

In 1926, New York City police arrested Eve Adams, a Polish-Jewish immigrant who ran a lesbian bar in Greenwich Village, for the crime of being gay.

The formal charges were more euphemistic. Officially, Adams was charged with disorderly conduct — that is, flirting with an undercover police officer who had entrapped her, and obscenity, for writing and possessing the book Lesbian Love. 

The following year, the U.S. government deported Adams to Poland, in what was effectively a death sentence: 16 years later, Adams would be murdered at Auschwitz.

Now, a century after Adam’s arrest, Manhattan Borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal — the first openly gay person to hold the elected position — is urging New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to formally recognize the city’s role in Adams’ persecution.

He sent a letter to Mamdani requesting that the city issue a formal declaration acknowledging Adams’ conviction in 1926 “was unjust and rooted in discriminatory law enforcement and affirming that New York City failed her as a pioneer of LGBTQ+ life, as an immigrant, and as a Jewish woman who was ultimately deported to her death.”

“Adams’s story is among the most unjust in our city’s history,” the letter reads. “One hundred years after her arrest, we have the obligation and the opportunity to say plainly that she deserved better.”

In a statement to the Forward, the Mayor’s office said they are reviewing the request.

And there’s the sound of a transporter beam from outside. And a couple minutes later, Sergei knocks at his door, literally vibrating with excitement. “Worf. You have a visitor.”

“I am Spock,” the visitor says, as though Worf doesn’t recognize him, as though anyone wouldn’t recognize him. But then he introduces himself again, with his full Vulcan name; and then a third time, with his Hebrew name.

*HAPPY SQUEES*

Oh, I also figured out Spock’s Hebrew birthday!!

Wim T Schippers "Peanut Butter Platform" / museum visitors

In 2011, an iteration of this 1969 floor-bound installation was damaged on several occasions while on view at the Boijmans van Beuningen Museum in Rotterdam.

The work itself is true to its name: 1,100 liters of creamy peanut butter spread over a 14x4m expanse on the ground. Unfortunately, this iteration of the piece was installed without guardrails, which led to four separate visitors accidentally stepping onto the artwork.
