I used to support you for basic reasons (woc radfems, both against racism and recently Israeli genocide)but now I realize you're kind messy and drama loving with weird vibes. I'm glad I didn't send my face pics to get verified in the dykery discord, because you are reactionary, super super online, and there's no telling what might happen in the future. I also heard other radfems who are both Jewish and anti Israeli genocide saying that you have Said antisemitic things multiple times. I would urge any radfems who are thinking of joining to reconsider sending pictures of their faces and identities so someone who's a bit sus and loves drama even if they seem to have similar values on the surface.

lmao the extremely vague accusations 🤭 antisemitic how? if i have said antisemitic things then why can’t u provide even one specific quote or claim? which jewish anti-israel genocide radfems? reactionary how? super online how? and how come hundreds of ppl joined the dykery and their faces were kept private but u specifically are at risk from selfie verification? i think it’s interesting whenever i get anons like this they’re clearly just trying to spread certain rumours about me without providing anything specific bc ur grasping and hoping sth will stick.

wow okay not only did I not know that neil gaiman was jewish but this is so real. so so much of my family died in the holocaust and the ones who escaped came to england speaking no english so the customs officer gave them a name based off what they looked like and what little luggage they had. I don't know what the family name was before this so I can't track my family tree very far back. but I do know that after they came to england some of em fiddled with the spelling and there are some people up north with a different spelling to me (can't tell you much more about them bc we don't really talk but they do exist.)

the holocaust is such recent history and I think people often forget that. my family tree is tiny. I can only track my ancestors a couple of generations. and heritage is very important in judaism (like neil said, we would take on the name of our father.) seeing another person writing out their family history like that got me all emotional. I just had to add my lil bit,,,, so have some rambles,,

Why is your last name gaiman

Well, you asked....

For a long time Jews didn’t have surnames. We were patronymic. If your name was Ruben, and your father’s name had been David, you’d be Ruben ben David. (ben meaning son of, or bat daughter of). Ashkenazi Jews got surnames at the end of the Eighteenth Century, when countries passed laws making the Jews get surnames.

So...at the end of the nineteenth century, in Radomsk and Lodz in Poland, into the 1940s, it was spelled Heiman. The Heimans on this Holocaust memorial, in Miami, were my family. By the end of the War, they were all murdered.

My great-grandfather, and his family, left Poland and moved to Antwerp in about 1911. 

Here’s the Antwerp Police records on the family from around 1913. It was being spelled Geiman, then. (It was a throaty “Ch” sort of an H, the kind you’ll find in the scottish Loch or in Chaim, a first name meaning life, which is, I am assured, where the surname comes from, and the Ch became a G.) 

Leib Geiman was a courier on the Diamond Bourse.

(Why is my great-grandmother, Eva, not listed? Why were all the children there with my great-grandfather? I have no idea.)

Somewhere around 1914, Leib Geiman came to London. There are different stories in the family about why he left Antwerp, most of them involving a missing diamond.

My great-grandfather Leib (or Leon) spelled his name Geiman for the rest of his life, and that was the name he was buried under in 1951.

My grandmother, Mary, didn’t like the spelling Geiman. She kept fiddling with it. My grandfather was Gaeman on the engagement announcement, then Gaiman on the wedding invitations. I think she went back and forth a bit -- Gaeman was the spelling on my Aunt Helene and Uncle Ronnie's birth listings. And then, before my father was born in 1933, m grandmother changed it again, to Gaiman, and that was the name he was born under, and that was how they left it.

My Uncle Monty became a British Citizen in 1947. His naturalisation information says,

(I don’t know why they weren’t dotting their eyes...).

So that’s why my last name is Gaiman.

Karlie wore a suit with no bra & a pair of Pride™ Stan Smiths last night... Much to unpack there 👀. Damn does that suit pattern make her look like her LEGS are six feet long 👀, then she also wore the gayest shoes possible with her tiddies completely free-range underneath the suit jacket 😳... Girl, everything about this is GAY as hell. Somehow Karlie always manages to out-gay herself & every time I am in awe of her Majesty Dykery. Also, she basically confirmed she's NOT Jewish with her tiddies

in my (orthodox jewish) primary school we had a mock seder every year around pesach and i remember in year two my teacher asked for some people to volunteer to be the five rabbis. and my (eight year old girl) hand shot up and i was chosen to be rabbi akiva. i was soo happy i made a beard out of cotton balls glued to a card triangle and i got to go to school in my brother's shabbos suit it was awesome 👍👍. and my mum was still surprised when i came out lol

[frumdyke]

wait i never told you guys. i found it super difficult to concentrate in shul on rosh hashanah because i swear my shtender had yaoi etched into it. i kept moving my machzor around to see if it was still there like i wasnt sure if it was actually real. i went a bit insane during mussaf i think. so i think maybe good things are coming this year

not in the mood to draw but the idea of miku in a bekeshe and streimel with big blue payos...

[frumdyke]

genuinely forgot that there are people who see cishet as the default which like yeah i guess is setting myself up for disappointment but its never a fun thing to hear from a rebbetzen innit. i mean maybe it means ive mostly surrounded myself with good people ?? or at least people who know that there may be a faggot among them ?? lmao

[frumdyke]
