The iceberg of anti-zionism would be incredible like maybe a layer or two in you have UNRWA being staffed by hamas members, and then halfway down it's Farfour the mouse

I used to say stuff like “antizionism does not equal antisemitism” so I could be respectable or whatever, but no, you know what, it is antisemitism.

If you believe Israel doesn’t have the right to exist because of bad things Israel has done or is currently doing, and you don’t apply this logic to any other country, you are singling out Israel because it is the only Jewish state. You are antisemitic.

“But no, I don’t think Israel should be wiped off the map, I’m an antizionist because I don’t blindly support all the actions of the Israeli government.” That’s not what Zionism is. You are taking a word created by Jews to describe a Jewish thing and ignoring the definition that Jews say this word has, and you probably believe that doing this to any other minority is wrong, ergo, you are antisemitic.

The only thing I can sort of respect is if you are an antizionist by virtue of thinking all nation states should be destroyed. I think your beliefs are utterly ridiculous, but I appreciate the consistency of holding the Jewish state to the same standard you hold all states.

I find it funny when one of my posts gets reblogged with the tag of "important" or similar because I promise you nothing I've ever said has been significant

It feels futile even trying to debunk the conspiracy theory anymore, but Biden sat down with USA Today, and while the interviewer noted the "controversy" surrounding his health, she also noted that he was engaged during their almost hour-long interview and only glanced at his note cards once towards the end. He sometimes spoke softly, but that was it. He gave thoughtful answers. Someone deep in dementia can't do that. Someone who Poasters claim was actually hidden away in his basement by his team 5 years ago because he was dying of dementia couldn't do that now. But you know, congrats on falling for a Fox News smear.

And YES I'm angry that some young people online care more about tiktok than they cared about the election. Trump's margin of victory was small. We could have won. Internet discourse is dedicated to presenting apathy and laziness as righteousness, so some of them act like they didn't vote against the guy who's explicitly worse for the people they pretend to care about because they care sooo much, but a lot of them simply think being asked to care about anything but themselves is Emotional Labor and Cringe. Nothing matters but the ease at which they can sit at home and rot in their beds with an addictive app, so who cares about stopping a rapist from being president?? That doesn't impact their daily scrolling and Poasting, so how dare you ask them to pay attention to real news instead of the watered-down bullshit some jobless "influencer" tells them. These young people grew up with hard-fought Democratic victories (like staying on their parents' insurance until 26 thanks to the ACA), took everything for granted, refused to listen to anyone trying to tell them that Republicans want to take it all away (or that something like Dobbs is Republicans' fault and not Obama's), sat on their asses in November, and now they're Very Outraged they're losing their emotional support disinformation spyware app that's actually banned in China.

Tl;dr yes you should be judged for caring more about a spyware app getting banned because its owners refuse to divest than women in your country dying of Republican abortion bans

If you reblog a post with a linked article just to put a whiny little "paywall :(" in the tags like a helpless baby bird grow up and chew your own worms and use https://archive.ph/ or https://web.archive.org/ like the rest of us

energy policy would be much better if we still had a tradition of animal sacrifice I think. people would be way more chill about nuclear energy if they could see a large and proud bull being ritually sacrificed every month or so at the base of the cooling towers to keep the plant safe

dyslexic scholars, disorganized archivists, high-contrast photographers, producers with inadequate equipment, shortsighted mystics, placid hallucinators, pedestrians in empty parking lots, compulsive scribes, those whose work is poisoning them, indecisive traitors, prison tattooers, bored waitresses, new world geologists, functional alcoholics in useless professions, filename poets, amateur degenerates, anyone whose pet is really weird, street sweepers, those whose holidays are celebrated ironically, paranoiacs who have been right one single miraculous time, patchy shavers, sloppy conspirators, honest teachers, failed influencers, those wearing too many layers on a warm day, unqualified translators, prisoners making good use of their time, mendacious cartographers, generous bartenders, and so on, and so forth

Thinking about how wild it is that enshittification starts as a way for the rich to squeeze the populace for more money but ends up infecting everything so even luxury products decline in quality. They’ve got more money than fucking God now and for what? Literally they can’t even buy fun nice stuff for themselves because they killed craft.

Anyway this post is about Dhaka muslin but it’s also about everything.

This past year and three months have been such an awakening for Jewish people, but one with a certain flair of absurdity. It feels like un-reality, like a wicked nightmare you can't wake up from. It's like the entire world has lost its mind and when you try to tell them this isn't normal, that what they're doing is wrong, they twist reality itself to say that no it is actually normal, it is you who is wrong. They dehumanize you, treat you as a symbol of evil and disgust. It's like we all woke up a year ago no longer humans, something else, something vile, like a bug, like a... oh. oh.

Ah okay, so the CC I was thinking about I actually attended before transferring to my undergrad uni; they're in the same city and it's actually a pipeline too. I wonder if I could get my credit validated by processing my CC transcript with my alma mater...

Hey any medical pros here?

Thinking about finishing my medical school prerequisites at community college (as a graduate with a BA from a """"public ivy"""") so that I can afford it and maybe do some of it online and not harm my employability in the meantime. Has anyone done something like this? I'm worried about it making me a less competitive candidate since the STEM classes would be done at a community college and not my Uni. And 100% would take some other random easy A classes to bring up my undergrad GPA since it sank pretty badly during the war and during some personal stuff.

I'm US-based, and I know I'm not getting into Hopkins or anything, but I'm pretty certain I can get a very good MCAT score, I have US military background (*medical release), and I'm a UT Austin graduate of Government (political science) and an Anthro minor with a resume I've been at least told is impressive. So I'm not worried about sticking out or my personal statement! But my current GPA is I believe between a 3.0 and a 3.5. It's not great. I can get all A's, however, as I'm no longer homeless. I probably need more recent and relevant volunteer hours since the bulk of mine were from setting up a COVID vaccination hub. But I feel like I haven't heard of anyone with a liberal arts degree getting their premed done at CC. This is just such a new concept as a path for me!

Oh wow. Like the medical school wouldn't accept the credits or it wouldn't transfer to be included in your baccalaureate?

I'm going bacc at uni -> medical prereqs at community college -> MCAT -> med school (and hopefully eventually residency) so give me like.... 10 years haha (early 30's isn't a bad age to be done with the process though!)
