Shockingly I named some OCs recently and fleshed out the deity lore a bit for my "guess i'll marry the demon lord?" plot.

Solei has existed since near the start but Mehra and Valdas are new to the concept and all three? Petty. They're technically the Trio of Peace cause that's kinda their goal and duty to their world but really, Trio of Pettiness is suitable as well.

I talk a lot about teaching and all the good parts of it and the powerful parts of it and it’s all true and also there is something so deeply messy and ugly and raw and painful about the real life exchange of it all and how much I just put myself on the line to communicate a truth and how little I get given back in any tangible or metaphysical way.

‘I'm so sorry for what happened to you!’ says a part of what happened to me.

‘I'm so sorry for what those people did to you!’ — you’re not ‘those people’, you are you, and you're doing the ‘what’ right now.

‘Omg people can be so horrible!’ — yes, you can be, and so lacking in self-awareness.

When you were trained to think of everything in black and white, you start seeing yourself as a ‘good person’ and start believing that everything you as a ‘good person’ do or have the potential to do is always good, and that you are never the villain. But humans do not work that way.

Ok, let me put it this way.

Jews are from the fertile crescent.

The Jewish people began in the fertile crescent.

As in, there are 7,000-year-old archaeological sites in Israel with big piles of kosher bones.

Jews are indigenous to the fertile crescent.

As in, Jews are a distinct cultural group that developed there long before colonization. And whose diaspora maintained its cultural ties to the land.

Zion is one of the Hebrew nicknames for the land of Israel.

Jews were writing poetry about longing to "return to Zion" 2,600 years ago, after the Babylonian Empire invaded.

There's a daily prayer (actually a thrice-daily prayer) Jewish people have said ever since, begging for the diaspora to return.

The prayer itself was originally standardized to help us keep the Jewish diaspora together, culturally, instead of fracturing into a bunch of tiny spin-off cultures and disappearing.

Jews under Greco-Roman occupation 1,957 years ago staged a revolution and minted coins that said, "For the Liberation of Zion."

I'm writing this during Passover, the annual week-long Jewish holiday that has always included the phrase, "Next year, in Jerusalem!"

That's maintaining cultural and historic ties to the land.

Zionism is a Jewish word for the Jewish people's yearning to return to indigenous self-determination.

Zionists are from the fertile crescent.

Zionists are indigenous to Israel.

(for those of you who have heard of evangelical Christians saying they're Zionists: no, I know, and please can someone ask them to stop? It's creepy!!)

Appendix A: Would Everyone Please Stop Misusing The Z Word?!

Gentiles normally have no exposure to the term "Zionism," because it's not a part of their culture.

So it's been really easy for extremist groups to spread memes like, "Israel as a country is inherently evil, and the Jews who support it being inherently evil are called Zionists."

I've been told that Zionism means fascism, racism, genocide, white supremacy, and, most recently, manifest destiny.

The way you can tell this is sus -- besides actually seeing what the people who call themselves Zionists say about what it means, (and again, I mean BESIDES my younger sister-in-law and her weird megachurch)

-- is that if Zionism means genocide, or fascism, or whatever? THERE'S ALREADY A WORD FOR THAT. It's "genocide," or "fascism."

Nobody needs a special word that means, "Genocidal Jews."

Appendix B: I Forgot I Need The Disclaimer For The People Who Will Read This In Bad Faith

I support an independent Palestinian state.

I am not arguing AGAINST an independent Palestinian state.

Every Zionist I know of supports an independent Palestinian state.

And the ones in Israel, who often live and work and hang out with Palestinians, fight for it more effectively than anyone in the West does.

I know a lot of people have framed October 7th as some kind of inspiring uprising by an oppressed indigenous group. Because that's how Hamas tries to frame itself when it's not busy absolutely crushing actual activism.

(And, hopefully, because many people don't know what October 7th actually looked like.)

With that rhetoric being so fucking common online, people are GONNA read "Palestinians are not indigenous to Palestine, they're indigenous to Saudi Arabia," or "Jews are indigenous to Israel," as "Palestinians should get kicked out."

Palestinians deserve safety, and self-determination, and democratically elected leaders who give them a voice, so they can build the state they want.

op turned off reblogs on this post for safety reasons but gave me permission to repost it because it's an important message.
