I Think I Might Be More Music/conlang Focused Here Than Twitter Because I Don’t Have A Stream Of Horrifying

If only I could do that with my friends IRL. A lot of us bake, but we live too far apart

I think something that is at the top of my of list for things that frustrate and upset it about all of this how Jewish victimhood is talked about and treated in non-Jewish spaces.

There is this very nasty and insidious way that Jewish victimhood gets talked about in both Left and Right spaces. And it categorized and spoken about as victimhood and "victimhood"

Where as in Jewish spaces is treated and spoken as Jewish survival and Jewish trauma. One that we more and more recognizing that we don't fully understand the full scope of said trauma and a trauma we know we have never had a chance to fully work through because of the many traumas that been built over each other.

We are fully aware we have not worked through our trauma from the Holocaust and we know that we never gotten a chance to work multiple other traumas.

We also know that we will never get anything close being able to have something like restorative justice because that involves the offenders participating and taking responsibility and that just doesn't happen.

Rather the Left and the Right claim that we like to be "perpetual victims" as a get out of jail free card and/or to score brownie points.

Just ask consistently online Jewish person if the have heard "eternal Jewish victimhood" "perpetual victims" "always a victims" etc and they will ask you which side's comments are looking for, the Right or the Left because they've got for both.

This sadly has only gotten worse after Oct. 7

it's so annoying seeing posts about Jewish culture—cutesy posts about fighting with g-d that appeal to Christian atheists' religious trauma, posts with Jewish music, posts with pictures of beautiful Jews—getting tens or even hundreds of thousands of notes, but the moment someone makes a post about antisemitism—about how it's built in to Western society, about how it's insidious and creeping, about how you've probably internalized it, about the difficulties we face and the grief we feel—they fail to break jumblr containment. Don't get me wrong, I love that goyim are celebrating Jewish culture as something beautiful and wonderful, but that can't be all we are to you. We're real people with real problems that you can't just ignore in favor of reblogging posts about bagels or whatever

I have long wanted my tumblr to be free of politics and focus on creative things I love. But I just can't keep my anger and fear under wraps anymore. I'm saving most of my divisive commentary for discord and still straying from most subjects (including my beliefs about the current war), but I'm not going to be silent anymore about how the hate affects me as an Israeli Jew who was raised in and still lives in the United States.
