cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch

Fanart of T'Lyn from Star Trek: Lower Decks. Left: T'Lyn on a Vulcan ship, with her Vulcan grey and white crew uniform. She is standing with her left arm behind her back and doing a Vulcan salute with her right hand. Top Right: T'Lyn rearranging the pieces on a 3D chess board and looking sideways conspiratorially. She is in the Cerritos' nar and in her Starfleet uniform. Bottom Right: T'Lyn wielding a Larpa while on Orion, wearing her yellow Orion outfit, looking hella angry.
Happy International Women's Day from my fav out of control Vulcan. π

What I think a lot of people seem to be failing to understand is that Zionism is a cult not an ideology, and as a cult it preyed on us as Jews in our weakest, most vulnerable moment and told us it would keep us safe. The way to undo that is with empathy, not violent accusation.
Its so funny to me that the girls were so pressed about Discord's safety pins on this weeks drag race, because all I can think is Taskmaster Rules...if you can find a loophole, well....it doesn't say you can't on the task! No sewing only safety pins still is using them like thread!
If one blames the Jew for not having been ennobled by oppression, one is not indicting the single figure of the Jew but the entire human race, and one is also making a quite breathtaking claim for oneself. I know that my own oppression did not ennoble me, not even when I thought of myself as a practicing Christian. I also know that if today I refuse to hate Jews, or anybody else, it is because I know how it feels to be hated. I learned this from Christians, and I ceased to practice what the Christians practiced.
I think often of this one Baldwin paragraph, not specifically because of Jewish contexts but because of the assumptions that are often made about what oppression does to anyone

This is one of the reasons that the strongest anti-Zionist jewish voices have been the ultra Orthodox Hassidim. Because they have never bought into the cult, so they have a safe space to land (their own community). I won't be surprised if there is an influx of people joining the Hassidic sect.
You want change? Undo the cult, don't enforce it. Provide empathy & a safe space for those seeing the cult for what it is for the first time, but are confused & scared & don't know where to go or how to undo this thinking without feeling unsafe. Otherwise we're all doomed to repeat history endlessly
The Animal Brain is a powerful thing that cults use and abuse. Most Jews right now are FRIGHTENED and reliving generational trauma, and don't have any safe place to go; it's the cult committing genocide on one side, and misdirected rage on the other.
Everything Israel is doing is abhorrent. It's genocide plain and simple. It enrages every bone in my body. Jews all over the world are in a fragile, confused state where the cult can be broken, finally. The vast majority of Jews have absolutely nothing to do with this violence, just association.
The more antisemitism ramps up, the more goyim conflate Judaism with Zionism, the more goyim try to use moral outrage to shout non-Israeli jews out of Zionist thinking, the more it enforces the idea that Jews are in danger and the Zionists were right; it just pushes people into the arms of the cult.

The Crusades were bad
The Crusades 2: Nuclear Powers Edition, also very bad
if youβre cis and you donβt get it this is LITERAL TORTURE
it will result in dead trans people
and with their other goal of making us βsexually explicitβ for existing
you see the pipeline right?
we exist -> weβre jailed for it -> weβre tortured and die
WE NEED YOU TO STOP THIS
as far as im concerned, every season is mating season
I've seen enough. Clearly this experiment is working. It is time for a Michael C. Jordan.
Even if Platner isnβt an antisemite (he absolutely is), if your judgement is so fucking bad that you REGULARLY do an antisemitic whoopsie because it has never occurred to you to just fucking look something up then you ARE NOT FIT FOR OFFICE.
Horrifying and also as predicted. This is genocidal shit. The only hospital in Tennessee that offered this kind of care. www.them.us/story/vander...
See - now THAT'S the America I love. Y'all were built on telling authority to go fuck itself when it steps over the line.
Stay the course, friends.
They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.
However you feel about incest kink, the idea that saying "Daddy" in porn could put people in prison is actually factually LGBTQ suppression btw
This is absolutely fascinating, it feels like an extremely historic moment in the history of pseudoscience. People who do histories of pseudosciences in 50 years time will be like "well this fuckface popularized a whole lot of garbage". Him and, you know, RFK Jr.
Wait. I've lived outside of NYC for ten years and I've been having food decision anxiety for NO REASON?? NO ONE ELSE CARES???
The extremely wealthy in their 60s/70s like Kris Jenner and Madonna getting luxury procedures to look like they're in their 20s/30s while the vast majority of working people are struggling to heat their houses or get basic medical care should be fueling the fire a lot more than it is, frankly.
Another thing I love about Alysa is that her embracing joy, whimsy, artistry, authenticity and prioritizing having a healthy body and mind over aesthetic conformity and optimization blows a massive hole in much of the cultural messaging being pushed on women, esp young women, right now
Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes βI love struggling, it makes me feel aliveβ is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization
Julie K. Brown deserves every last flower.
She has done so, so much for so many survivors of atrocity, for lighting truth where those with power tried to bury it.
This is what a free press is, does, can do.
But it takes so much risk & guts.
She is a brave hero and we are so indebted to her.
For the record, neither of these boys is Russian and that's important. The post-soviet diaspora is a micro-politics that is very very personal for everyone involved. But also....π love to see it for Khazakstan.
I am just living for Mikhail Shaidorov's surprise Olympic Gold victory. He's such a sweet baby boy, shocked and amazed. Also the post-soviet politics of a Kazakstani beating a poster boy Russian-Uzbek-American is chefs kiss.
I donβt know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is
Bari Weiss didnβt want you to see this
