I've said this before and I'll say it again but there are more people claiming to be "pro Hamas Jews" on the internet than there are real Jews on the entire planet. Just FYI.

If your first reaction to learning a Jew is a zionist is to start being antisemitic, you were antisemitic in the first place.

when people try to bring up avraham aveinu as an example of a colonizer to gotcha jews lmao…

hunter gatherers and nomadic herdspeople are not and never were settlers or colonizers. to say so is absolutely offensive.

avraham, or avram’s people were nomadic herdspeople, NOT people who settled in ur and built cities. his people were historically referred to as the HABIRU. (habiru was more of a slur btw for nomads and other “unsavory” people according to mesopotamian society.)

it is argued that in the gilgamesh story, enkidu was a representative of people like avram, who were migratory and more connected to nature. gilgamesh represented the settled city people.

the nomadic people roamed ALL ACROSS THE LEVANT, of which canaan was a huge chunk. they lived in canaan, were born there, etc. living in ur for a season doesn’t change that.

AND THEN avram’s children married the locals in israel btw, but they were still all indigenous to the region regardless.

genetically, canaanites and israelites are pretty much the same people. we deviated from each other culturally over paganism vs monotheism. canaanites chose to keep worshipping gods like baal and we chose hashem. and yes, we warred against each other. nearly every ancient people did.

the biggest difference between us and many other ancient peoples is we are still here and we can tell our story. numerous ancient tribes cannot.

but anyway, we can see the lasting remnants of these nomadic herdspeople origins in jewish culture today. we have so many sacred torah stories about herding too.

if people learned history, that would be great jfc.

evangelicals being like "god made men to do This and be like This and women to do That and be like That that's just how it is" and it's just a picture of a white man and woman following traditional gender norms makes me so insane like you boring fascist fucks. god made 2 million species of beetles. god made whales, ducks, humans, and 1500 other species capable of same sex behavior. god made fish and amphibians that change sexes. god made more than 30 different intersex variations in human beings. god, in his infinite curiosity. wake up!!! fuck!!

All art is performative. You could say it's.... the whole point.

If you don't like someone's art you really just don't have to engage with it.

I feel like adding my own comments on a post on a social media site is kinda the whole point, whether I like the trite, unimaginative content or not

personally i think you should be able to afford a place to live with a part-time job

god I could be so wealthy if I had no ethics. that's so fucking frustrating. I'm living paycheck to paycheck because I'm not grifting vulnerable idiots on TikTok. I feel like I have the ability to very easily scam people. I could make a killing with AI. but god. I have morals and ethics and so I get to be poor as shit. I hate this fucking world

sometimes you just wanna respond with shit like "that must be a very comforting fiction to you"

Yeah I’m cringe because my politics are driven by wanting to make America the land of freedom and opportunity that our immigrant clients at work generally think it is. Bite me 🔪🔪 I’d rather be cringe with core principles than let stupid internet nihilism take over my personality and kill my beliefs in a futile attempt to be Cool and Above It All

maybe my favorite part of the pitt is how it addresses implicit biases in medicine and society. a south asian woman doctor recognizes a black woman patient has sickle cell after she's been mistreated by the paramedics. a doctor with an autistic sister is able to help a patient on the spectrum after another doctor is dismissive. one doctor challenges another over whether she fat shamed a patient, and if that bias hindered her judgment. a doctor confronts her older, male boss about prioritizing the safety of a teenage boy who's made threatening comments to girls, rather than the girls who may be harmed. a handsome white male asshole doctor who's been a resident for four years is stealing drugs, and the young woman asshole doctor is the one who realizes it (they've both acted like jerks, but shockingly he gets more leeway from viewers). idk man it's just nice to see actual wrestling with the intersection of misogyny, racism, fatphobia, and other issues in the medical profession. also the doctors are hot
