The same thing happens with hispanic and indigenous cultures. It's especially bad where I live. People complain about the latinos (re: 80% of the population) taking up the jobs and sitting on welfare checks, when we wouldn't have any of our cultural staples without them. They talk about the lazy, entitled natives. Then they line up for their white-washed western movies, they buy their Temu dream-catchers, they talk about spirit animals. They fry up tack-os on the barbecue and complain about how mindless and stupid reggaeton is while Taylor Swift is blasting.

And then I log onto social media and all I find is kiwifarms hunting of POCs, the degradation of black art to being "overstimulating" and only about "sex, drugs, and violence", the whitewashing of every fictional character. The complaints of making everything "political". About people being too angry and not being able to just "enjoy things" - a position of privilege from people who don't *have* to think about the hateful images in media they enjoy.

And when you point this out, hoards of white liberals that have never thought critically about race complain that you're mean for calling them racist, that they have to add their two cents, that they have to be "one of the good ones". If you can understand that axes of oppression often occur as the subtle denigration of a group - an often unconscious-bias that may present itself as "not agreeing with the lifestyle" or the like - then you can understand racism.

Oh, but had the artisan who made me created me instead – a worthy woman... ...I would say "how lucky am I"

Father in heaven who did miracles for our ancestors with fire and water... ...Who would then transform me from a man to woman? Were I only to have merited this being so graced by goodness...

What shall I say? why cry or be bitter? If my father in heaven has decreed upon me and has maimed me with an immutable deformity then I do not wish to remove it. the sorrow of the impossible is a human pain that nothing will cure and for which no comfort can be found. So, I will bear and suffer until I die and wither in the ground. Since I have learned from our tradition that we bless both, the good and the bitter I will bless in a voice hushed and weak: blessed are you [HaShem] who has not made me a woman.

-Rabbits not giving a shit about your "laws of science":

Rumination is probably the most common type of OCD compulsion, but I rarely see anyone talking about it. I've talked to multiple people diagnosed with OCD who didn't even recognize it as a compulsion.

Basically, if you have OCD you have terrible intrusive thoughts. They can be about anything, but common themes are fear of being a bad person, fear of hurting someone, fear of contamination. etc.

Rumination is when you get stuck in a spiral. Rumination is when you spend hours catastrophizing, overthinking, analyzing, telling yourself it's going to be okay.

I'll say it again:

Rumination is a compulsion.

Rumination is a compulsion, and that means you have to stop doing it.

I did ERP (exposure response prevention) for my OCD with a therapist! For 9 months! And it did help, but the idea didn't really click until I found this website a couple years later.

And Oh My God. It made things make so much more sense, and I was able to pull myself out of an episode even though I wasn't in therapy or on meds at the time.

Genuinely if you have OCD, or even if you suspect you have OCD, I'm begging you to read some of these articles.

Like this was genuinely life changing for me.

Here are some of the ones that were most helpful to me:
