It surprises me every time to remember that not everyone went to a summer camp that had them reenact running away from the Holocaust as refugees.

Generational trauma is a hell of a drug.

WHAT KIND OF SUMMER CAMP IS THAT THO, LIKE WHAT THE FUCK

 I know when Unorthodox podcast covered Summer Camps, I think(?) they mentioned this - they even spoke to someone who studies Jewish summer camp history, and Lilith magazine’s second to last recent issue’s cover page referred to an article “Holocaust Games at Summer Camp.” 

I used to let my friends pretend to “hide me” from the Nazis :/ 

“I come from a long line of people who successfully ran away.” #ThatJewishFeeling

“if you bleach your hair, then maybe” was always what i was told and like, haha, never really questioned why i’ve wanted to do that very thing since i was very little but the two coincide in ways i don’t really want to think about.

Also gentile kids saying you’d be the first to get killed or “lucky you have blue eyes, maybe you’ll survive” 😬

As a conversion student, I have no idea how to respond to this, but I feel the need to bear witness and not just let it float past my dashboard.

do you know where your passport is right this second? Can you have it in your hand in a matter of minutes or hours without having to interact with anyone else? if the answer is no and that’s not stressful to you, congratulations, you might not be a descendant of European Jews.

I trode on the toad road

yeah but what they gonna eat? raw eggs? 

This is the sequel to Pokemon snap that I’ve always wanted

Fear kills more dreams than failure ever will.

stop using hospitals as horror settings

fun alternative: cruise ships. cruise ships exploit workers and can pollute as much as a million cars on a daily basis while dumping endless shit into the ocean and endangering all passengers on board because the on board air quality rivals some of the most polluted cities in the world while being a breeding ground for disease. cruise ships deserve to have negativity associated with them

also all crimes commited aboard a cruise ship is under the juristiction of whichever country they’re registered to once they’re a certain distance away from land so you have the added bonus of the crimes being very unlikely to be properly investigated (due to usually being physically so very far from the actual police whose juristiction they’re under)

terrifying!

On top of THAT cruise ships tend to have their own morgue, as people tend to die on ships all the time. Good for those spooky scenes.

plus u can just like…leave a hospital. good luck escaping a killer or a monster or a curse or w/e in the middle of the fucking ocean
