maybe the term “antisemitism” seems “overused” because theres so much of it
I’m logging off all socials for tomorrow, so I just want to say to my fellow Jews:
I hope you are safe. I hope you are hugged. I hope nothing bad reaches you.
Please take care of yourselves. Not only in physical safety, but mentally too. If social media becomes too much, allow yourself to log off. Try to do something you like - I know it may come with a sense of guilt but I’ve found it helps while grieving.
Feel all you need to feel. Cry all you need to cry - and if that means not crying at all, that’s ok, too.
No October 7th will ever be the same for any of us. This is the first anniversary, hopefully the next one will be a little more bearable. עם ישראל חי
Words cannot express how much I hate the people that run JVP.
There is no universe in which calling to “reject the ADL” is anything other than horrifically antisemitic.
I love that despite the saying "two Jews three opinions" the audacity of a teacup mikvah still brings us together

Everybody shut up and look at the Cincinnati zoo Hanukkah otter
My friend has a Janakh.
No, today is not a Jewish holiday. Tu B'Av, a minor holiday of love, begins at sunset tonight!.
Also, I really wish I didn't have to say this, but antisemitism against Zionists isn't okay either. The problem with being antisemitic isn't that you might be harassing a "good" Jew, it's that antisemitism is wrong no matter who it's aimed at.
You cannot justify bigotry as long as it's aimed at "bad" people. The fact that many of the people I see arguing against this simple statement are the same ones who call out transphobes for misgendering "bad" trans people just shows how little society as a whole actually sees Jews as people.
When people ask me why I’m converting to Judaism, a year into the entire process of it all, I just mumble “I dunno, just feels like I’ve always been here, been home.”
Then I pause and consider for a minute-
“But mostly because of the challah.”
