I wish everyone who is making this week all about Taylor Swift a very nice « shut the fuck up. »

Don’t get me wrong, I love Taylor just as much as the next basic middle class white girl, but I’m also Jewish, and seeing people post incessantly about the Taylor/Kanye beef instead of acknowledging the real problems honestly makes me sick.

Here are the facts: there are 15 million Jews world wide. That’s less than half of Kanye’s Twitter followers. Kanye got suspended from Twitter not for the anti-semitism but for posting an unflattering picture of Elon musk, showing that the man in charge of the worlds most powerful social media platform is fine with hate speech unless it’s against him. AND one of Kanye’s most outspoken supporters, who obviously agrees with his views, is running for president again. Do I think he’ll win? No, but I’m genuinely afraid that if he does, we may be looking at 1939 2: electric boogaloo.

Being Jewish is a great time. It’s also fucking terrifying. Once a century, someone tries to wipe us all off the face of the earth, and this century hasn’t had their try yet. Anyone, Jewish or otherwise, who’s ever read a history book knows that Kanye’s words have real, awful repercussions.

And if you’re making this about some petty shit that happened at the VMAs 13 years ago, then congrats. It’s you, you’re the problem, it’s you.

HEY THIS IS IMPORTANT whats your favorite place to find drawing references?

Alright this is rly sad but here goes. I started doing my once-in-awhile bot purge from my followers list. And. I used to be able to just quickly scan and see the bots. They were the ones with default icons and generator-sounding names like "noun-girl-827". And if you weren't sure, you could click on the blog and it would be immediately obvious it was a bot because there's either just bad porn click bait, or nothing there.

Well. This time I had to give up immediately because I got like ten followers down the list and was having immense trouble figuring out who's a bot and who's real. Never ever used to see this but like 5/10 of the first few followers I checked on had just totally empty blogs. It wasn't until I'd already blocked 2 - assuming bots bc empty blogs - that I thought to check if they had any likes. And bam! There it was. All of their user activity.

We have people on this website now who have never reblogged a single post.

Y'all, I'm sure you're sick of seeing "you have to reblog thing" but you literally have to reblog things. That is how this website works. You understand that, right? How do you think the post you hit "like" on got in front of you? It wasn't because you liked enough things and Tumblrs algorithm figured out what you like enough to hand it to you. It's because you followed someone, a human person, who reblogged that post. And it came from another person who also reblogged it.

You are killing this website by refusing to interact with it in the way that makes it better than the other websites you ran from to come here.

Anyway, I'm sure you're all nice people, but I'm not going to play the "bot or not" game if you have an empty blog I'm going to block you.

i hope everyone understand that there’s a connection between the rising antisemitism and rising anti-queer sentiment and all the other forms of bigotry that are bubbling up right now. it’s all about fear. fear of a world in which white cishet xtians do not control wealth, property, and people. the idea that laws will not cater to them, that they’ll receive no special treatment, that everyone will be entitled to the same respect, its terrifying to them. i guess i’d be scared too if i was a coward fighting selfishly for a cruel and foolish cause.

Twitter really said "you've read 300 posts time to go touch grass"

fullmetal alchemist

I'm not sure if people are paying attention to Kanye West's appearance on InfoWars, but you should be.

"Why should I care what one right-wing nut job says to other right-wing nutjobs?"

BECAUSE THIS IS A REAL THING THAT HAS TANGIBLE IMPACT ON JEWISH LIVES

Kanye West denied the Shoah on the program. He said that he "loved the Nazis." He said that he "loved Hitler."

Yes, he is mentally ill. That does not excuse this at all- especially because this is going out to his fans.

There are more fans of Kanye West than there are Jewish people on Earth

Kanye, along with Nick Fuentes- a white supremacist- said some shit so atrocious that Alex Jones was the one trying to pull them back- an insane turn of events.

This will have an impact on Jewish people. People are going to be more antisemitic- already, antisemitic hate crimes are rising around both the United States and the world.

Listen to your Jewish friends. Listen to the people impacted by this hate speech.

We will outlive them.

Am Yisrael Chai.

alright, I want to find something out
