#it's always been like this

People hating Joe Locke really shoves a spike in my eye every time I get reminded of it because it's like damn 🥲 we never did get past disliking people for unconventional physical features did we

Remembering back when I ID'd as transfem a few years ago and some fuck went through my personal posts and screenshotted them in a post essentially telling me that all my problems were because I was a disgusting tranny or whatever and staff didn't do fucking shit.

I've got a weird feeling, like I'm naively sitting on the beach, collecting sea shells without seeing the tsunami coming, just hearing it, but not turning back

Never felt that before, it's... Weird, best description I can give

Like I'm happy but I am weirdly certain something terrible is going to happen?

The day is beautiful but the air is thick and there is something off about it all

I keep running into a problem that I'm wondering if anybody else has. When I'm buying pants (especially jeans), if I go by my measurements on the size charts, everything always winds up being far too big. The size that fits is always labeled as around 10" too small for my actual measurements. For example, I ordered some non-stretch jeans, and got a 4XL based on my measurements and the size chart. They showed up today, and I didn't even need to undo the zipper to get them on and off! So I'm exchanging them for a 2XL instead, which the size chart says is way too small for me. Does anyone else have this problem, or am I just a TARDIS of a person?

I don't think Harry and brad are together but this tiktok of them together holding hands has over 400k likes. If you watch the video of them walking, of course they're not, but this isn't how the internet works when it comes to spreading rumors. I at least find this encouraging for a potential harry coming out. Or maybe it's just people who like shipping harry with men? I'm not sure but I don't see overtly hateful comments like with women. Some queerbaiting comments but I guess until he straight up says I'm gay, that'll unfortunately continue.

I can't see the video anon, so I can't comment on a lot of what you say. But I will comment on the idea that this is some kind of sign or new information about his fan base.

I hate to break it to you - but the fact that there is a significant and vocal part Harry's fanbase who responds positively to the idea of him being with a man is neither new, nor encouraging for him coming out.

I also don't think it's news that there's a deep vein of misogyny in his fanbase. Everything you describe is business as usual and how Harry's fan base has existed since there's been a fanbase.

[Images description: A Twitter thread by Rabbi Mike Rothbaum (@ Rav_Mike) that says the following:

1) “Our local schools are plagued by antisemitism. There’s a speaker engaged by a local shul ostensibly to discuss antisemitism. ¾ of the talk is about defending Israel. My students aren’t targeted for Zionism. They’re targeted for being Jews. They need safety, not talking points.

2) There’s nothing here for my students who see swastikas in school. There’s nothing here for the kid who was told by a classmate that he’d buy him an “Easy bake oven” for Chanukah. There’s nothing here for the kid who had money thrown at them and told “pick it up you f***ing Jew.

3) You’re entitled to defend the actions of the Israeli government. You’re not entitled to hijack the topic of antisemitism to do so. It’s an abdication of our responsibility to support and defend our kids who deal with Jew-hatred every day. It’s a shonde.

4) The state of Israel has an army and a professional staff of PR professionals to defend it. All my students have are fellow Jews and our allies. Don’t abandon them.

5) After a desultory reference to Charlottesville, the speaker decried “Black Lives Matter,” Stephen Jackson, and Puff Daddy. Puff Daddy didn’t tell his Instagram followers to “like and subscribe to kill one Jew.” That was a white kid my students go to school with. [This tweet has a screenshot of an Instagram live with chat messages. The last message is from michael_13_0 and it’s pinned. It says “Like and subscribe to kill one jew”.]

6) Thing is, I KNOW this stuff is heavily funded by Jewish legacy orgs. And it really is the last thing we need to spend our Jewish dollars on. There’s so much we could be doing to support Jewish learning, students, families, elders, queer folks, Jews of Color. Israel PR ain’t it.

7) The last straw was when the speaker said we should be protecting Israel-advocating students on campus, not “counting swastikas in Idaho.“ Counting swastikas is EXACTLY what we should be doing. Jews live in Idaho – and Middlesex county – and we need to love and protect them.”

i think we've done a great job expanding the view of what a child's favorite animal can be. kids these days can say they love axolotls or pangolins or coelecanths and their decision is respected. maybe their parents can even find them a stuffed animal of it if they know where to look. and i think that's beautiful

one thing that took me embarrassingly long to learn is "sometimes when people say things, they will not be true."

I used to tell people about this revelation and they'd be like yeah.....duh.....but like, why wouldn't my base assumption be that you're communicating to me in a straightforward manner. anyway, I get scammed a lot.

Isn't it supposed to go something like this?

- the young are passionate idealists who see new and existing problems and come up with new progressive solutions to solve them. and the old have experience and wisdom from living long enough to see the ideas from their youth succeed or fail due to numerous factors they didn't anticipate when they were young. So the young bring their new innovative ideas and passion, and the old help temper those with their accumulated experience, so things can actually progress when both work together.

It always seems to end up with the old being stupid hypocrites who refuse to change and dismiss new ideas because they can't understand that the world has changed since they were kids, and the young being naive idiots who willfully ignore how similar ideals of the past failed when met with reality.

So, in the end, we're all stupid idiots who are also smarter than our counterparts, and nothing ever truly changes because we refuse to listen to each other. And it's always someone else's fault.

I'm just so tired of this model. We're all dying and taking the world with us, simply because we refuse to work with each other.
