iâd encourage people to donate to HIAS, the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, if able. they support refugees and immigrants all over the world.Â
the pittsburgh shooter allegedly posted on social media, claiming that HIAS are bringing in âhostile invadersâ that âkill our peopleâ, before carrying out the shooting.Â
he will not silence us. now, more than ever, we stand with immigrants and refugees, and live our jewish values publicly and bravely.
imagine going up to stephen fucking king and telling him heâs a terrible fucking person that should kill himself for the morally reprehensible horror novels he writes
TUMBLR REALLY BE LIKE THAT
to be clear, because apparently my point isnt clear: no one came at stephen king. what i was saying is that tumblr goes after baby writers for writing the same shit big time writers do FOR LIKE THEIR WHOLE CAREER. yall really cry foul at horror fic writers for pretty tame shit just cuz it has a morally reprehensible slasher and sex sprinkled delicately on top and stephen king be out here writing shit like the green mile and IT. donât fucking pretend itâs about morality and keeping fiction safe. yall jus Bullies.
i once saw someone with a clive barker url criticizing a writer for writing things they found morally reprehensible and the irony nearly killed me
clive barker has written some of the most fucked up shit iâve ever read, and heâs one of the most successful horror writers/directors out there. like⌠tumblr really be like that
They sent pipe bombs to Obama, Clinton, CNN, and a major Democratic donor. They marched through the streets chanting âJews will not replace us.â They jailed and brutalized and outright killed Black protesters. They ran a woman down with a car for protesting their hateful rhetoric.
They threatened from the start to resort to violence if they didnât get their way, and then got their wayâŚand resorted to violence anyway. They are the purveyors of a body of politics that sees most of us as subhuman and undeserving of life, and actively works toward our destruction.
Remember that during this election.
This is not a matter of choosing the âlesser evilâ. This is flawed politicians vs. actual fucking terrorists. This is human failings vs. inhumanity. This is not being progressive enough vs. silencing the opposition with violence.
No fucking contest. Get out and vote.
It was a terrorist attempt on several people, including two previous presidents. And our current president decided that the best thing to do tonight would be to hold a political rally.
You have to vote. Lives are on the fucking line here.
People have already died. Heather Heyer of course, but letâs not forget that the lack of response to Puerto Rico resulted in the deaths of thousands. That level of racism and neglect is state violence.Â
Donât be precious about your vote. Your lives, all our lives, depend on it.
things are hard right now for Jewish people all over the worldâ if your synagogue has a donation page link it on this post and iâll spread it around.Â
my synagogue is doing some really great accessibility and inclusivity work right now and works with a lot of local charitiesâyou can donate to them here
Goyim, please take antisemitism seriously and work to actively critique the antisemitism within and around yoi, whether it is implicit or explicit. So many of us are in mourning after Squirrel Hill bcz weâre terrified of stuff like this happening. We need you to be in solidarity, supporting us. Thereâs a better world out there, and we can build it, but one of the requirements for that is rooting out antisemitism. ZâL
to all of the jewish people that may be reading this, i hope you and your families are safe today. i hope that you are able to grieve with your community and hold on to each other and hold each other up.Â
i am thinking of you all. i am thinking of our communities and our people.Â
