I always get asked if I’ve got music in my head because I’m always moving my head and tapping, but in truth I’m just stimming. I say yes.
Trump brought proud, outward Nazism into the Republican Party. Antisemitism has always been somewhere in both. But Trump brought loud Nazism to the Republican Party. People cheered when they saw two Nazi/Roman salutes on stage. Loud and proud Nazism is on display in the Republican Party, one of the two main parties in the United States.
When I was a kid I used to get really confused about Yogi Bear and Yogi Berra and tbh I still do because WHY ARE THEIR NAMES SO SIMILAR??
I love religious undertones. Songs with religious undertones, books with religious undertones, movies with religious undertones, even words (my favorite is “covenant”). I really love religious undertones.
Just remembered how I had a Yogi Berra baseball card when I was younger but I gave it away at some point :(
omg bruh i just realized that my first post ever (abt being trans) was made a day before i came out, crazy how that works, huh?
This account was made ages ago, and even though it looks dumb, I don’t want to change anything so it’s still like my “old” account
My therapist says I don’t really have the right to be angry at my parents because they accept that I’m trans when it’s not generally accepted.
I’ve grown up in fear of them because of how bad the verbal and physical abuse was/is (mostly while I was younger).
I just can’t agree. I know how lucky I am. I’m on T as a minor. I’m literally blessed. I also know how I felt as a five year old, running from my dad, multiple times a week, as he chased after me, screaming how he’s going to kill me, and trying to often.
It’s a weird combination. One saved my life, the other ruined it. I’m so grateful, but I also will forever hate them (my mom for defending my dad no matter what, and hiding his actions from others like police and DYFS).
I feel like no one can really relate to this but I feel guilt for my anger/hatred/not forgiving them because of how accepting they are. It’s so weird.
I went to this presentation on trans rights in America today, and the speaker put a picture of the Nazis burning all of Magnus Hirschfeld’s work on the slide explaining the government’s recent attempt to seemingly erase trans people. Which is understandable, the similarities are scary. Then the speaker explains the picture, who Hirschfeld was, what the Nazis did. And he didn’t say the word “Jewish” once. Just made me so angry. Antisemitism is why the Nazis destroyed everything Hirschfeld worked on, and antisemitism is why the Nazis hated LGBT people. To talk about all this without saying “Jewish” or “antisemitism” even once just feels so disrespectful.
In 2022, people were cancelling Stranger Things for the tattooed numbers being reminiscent of the Holocaust and them filming in Lukiškės Prison. Now, those same people are “cancelling” it for having multiple Jews “Zionists” who are a part of it. No opinions on the first part, but it’s just interesting to see.
it's cool how even normal people on the left have gone from like performatively complaining about how antisemitic harry potter was to just unilaterally deciding that jewish pain and antisemitism don't matter because someone might mistake them for a zionist if they defend us
