[theme is "Game Over!" by ♥]
pretzel companies be like we filled this bag with pretzels so high we can barely seal the top shut and then we put another handful them bitches in there for good measure
chip companies be like
chips bootlickers will be like ACKSHUALLY they NEED to be 2/3 empty else the chips would turn to MUSH or some shit
Actually though I don’t care if a billionaire worked hard or not. Overfishing and overhunting take hard work too, and they’re flat out illegal, why is over-hoarding the limited currency of your country ok
BACK IN 2015 A TUMBLR USER NAMED LITTLEFUCKINMONSTER PSOTED IN A FACEBOOK GROUP CALLED “QUEER WITCH COLECTIVE“ THAT THEY WERE SELLING SOME HUMAN REMAINS
THEIR TUMBLR WAS LATER IDENTIFIED AND WHEN QUESTIONED ABOUT THE MATTER THEY SAID THEY WOULD PATROL LOUISIANA GRAVEYARDS LOOKING FOR HUMAN REMAINS THAT WASHED UP DURING THE RAINY SEASON AND THAT THEY WOULD ROUTINELY STEAL BONES FROM THE GROUNDS
THEY GOT CAUGHT BECAUSE SHE TRIED TO SELL THE BONES
THEIR DEFENSE WAS THAT TELLING PEOPLE TO NOT ROB GRAVES WAS RACIST AGAINST NATIVE AMERICAN RELIGIOUS PRACTICES AND VOODOO AND THAT TELLING HER NOT TO PILLAGE GRAVE REMAINS WAS UNFAIRLY SHAMING HER AND ALL NECROMANCERS LIKE HER
NEEDLESS TO SAY THEY WERE WHITE
ITS NOT IMPORTANT FOR THE STORY BUT WHEN I DREDGED UP SCREENSHOTS OF THEIR POSTS BEFORE ALL THIS SHIT HAPPENED SWEET MERCIFUL NIGHT THIS BITCH WAS ANNOYING
“I am not Wiccan. I am not fluffy. I work with death and bones. Curses and hexes, the dark and the things not for the faint of heart. And you aint about to shame me for it. “
SHE WENT ON TO TALK ABOUT HOW
“I have watched black voodoo priests break into crypts and steal random full bodies “
WHICH IS FOR SURE NOT A RACIST THING TO SAY AT ALL ITS DEFINITELY OKAY TO IMPLY THAT VOODOO PRIESTS ARE CORPSE-STEALING NECROMANCER SHAMANS /S
THE BONES THAT WASH UP ARE OFTEN THE ONES THAT ARE CLOSE TO THE SURFACE AND EASILY DISLODGED BY RAIN
SO YES IT IS EXTREMELY POSSIBLE SHE WAS DISTURBING AND SELLING THE REMAINS OF FORMER SLAVES BURIED IN SHALLOW UNMARKED OR MASS GRAVES
The left has a huge problem with antisemitism and we won’t be able to do anything about that until we admit it and inspect it. But some of y’all don’t even seem to think antisemitism exists
The amount of people refusing to believe this is sickening and proves that this is even more of an issue than I realized
Yes, Jewish people are a vulnerable and marginalized group that deserves to be accepted and protected. Yes, antisemitism is still a thing, including on the left. Yes, they have repeatedly pointed out this problem, and we should believe them and do something about it. No, this accusation doesn’t only come from Zionists. No, being an atheist doesn’t give you free rein to shit on marginalized people’s culture and faith. No, this isn’t some kind of fucking conspiracy where all Jewish people are trying to divide the left or avoid accountability or win sympathy or whatever other shit by fabricating claims of antisemitism or bringing it up whenever they’re criticized, and if you’re genuinely willing to believe that shit then you’re part of the problem. Yes, antisemitism is just as dangerous as any other flavor of bigotry and it’s not something we can just brush aside. It deserves to be deplatformed and ostracized like the fascistic ideology it is
Keep saying clown shit, y’all. I’ll make a fucking blocklist. It’s time this shit was violently kicked out of this community so our Jewish comrades can feel safe
ALL OF THIS
Some thoughts on where does it start:
Add antisemitism to your ‘no racist/homophobia/transphobia/etc in this space’ sign at the door / event page. Do it explicitly and do it every time.
Make sure the people watching over the safety of the space actually know how to recognize and address antisemitism.
Make sure people who do not acknowledge that antisemitism is a serious issue in leftist spaces are NOT
coordinating a space’s safety or taking key organizing roles.
Make sure your organizing, speakers, panels etc. include Jewish voices
and make sure that is a safe space for them to speak. Do not do this
only when the topic is Israel. All the topics. Trans rights. Feminism. Anti-capitalism. Intersectionality is a thing. Jewish voices matter everywhere.
Acknowledge the presence of Jewish people as members of your community by acknowledging their needs. For example, keep an eye on Jewish holidays and learn which are significant so your biggest event of the year doesn’t coincide with an important Jewish celebration.
Ask Jewish people about their needs in your space.
When they bring up antisemitism, believe them.
Learn what antisemitic tropes and stereotypes look like so you can
avoid them, learn the most common antisemitic talking points in atheist
theory so you can avoid them.
Distribute those great ‘how to criticize Israel without being antisemitic’ flyers all over the place.
(I am not Jewish, feel free to correct me if I fuck up)
