Hyper-intellectual Bullshite

I was raised in a jewish home, but with a lot of Roma influences, so I don't really know where I belong, since Roma Jews are not exactly the biggest community out there lol.

Do y'all think I can add it to my intro post? I'm used to antisemitism, but antitziganism is still really hard to deal with.

Rroma-Jewish Brit here! Romany-traveller on my mother’s side, Jewish on my father’s. Raised in the lovely, culture-flattening estates of northern Leeds where being from any minority gets slurs and litter thrown at you. It has its charm I promise!

Yeaaaahhh there’s very few of us around. Even fewer who speak English or live in circumstances with ready access to the internet. But we exist. And I for one am here for ya if you ever need any support. Being from one minority cultural background that gets as much shit as either the Rroma or the Jewish people is tough. Both? There’s a mental strain to it that’s difficult to articulate to those that don’t get it get it.

Even other black/brown people in my community, usually being African Christian/muslim/hindu and being a minority in the UK by circumstance rather than actual population of their community, is really hard to explain the particular types of racism, xenophobia and ethnophobia me and my siblings face.

This war's weapon of choice is media narrative and words online, and the ghettoization of Jews is probably also happening online as opposed last generation's physical ghettos. That's why nobody recognizes it.

In the credits, Guillermo thanks the following:

Mary Shelley, who wrote the book (obviously)

Bernie Wrightson, whose illustrations in the 1983 graphic novel were the inspiration for the Creature

Boris Karloff, who played the Creature in the 1931 film

I trust him

The above image is a historical artifact. Colima dog. It dates back to circa 100 BCE-300 CE. (x)

And, around two thousand years later it was originally shaped with care, painted with love, and adored… someone draws it. Draws it using a new technological device that allows modern people to shape things with care, paint with love, and even move them -on a screen, glowing.

And the said person decides to share it with the world. The whole world adores it.

I love the connection between past and today. We were humans back then, and we are still the same.
