Gosh!!!!!

I've been sniffling all day and eventually realized I got the cold.

Just checking in, Jumblr.

How are we feeling about the month that never ended being back on the calendar?

It feels like the 7th is this major deadline that keeps getting closer.

Also, Israelis (or those who have friends/family in Israel) of Jumblr, how are you doing with the threats from Iran?

I’d love to see that!! 🤩

Okay so this is definitely completely unrelated to basically anything related to this account, but what if I made a MyLight YouTube channel?

I've made vlogs and stuff before but I was thinking of making a new channel specifically for more Jewish-related stuff. Because I've realized that my college experience has been very closely tied with my Jewish on campus experience. Most of my social life is centered around being at Chabad, and most of my friends are from Chabad.

I don't know, it could be a fun/cute idea, but I also can't guarantee that I'll be posting with any consistency, since I'm usually pretty busy, but it could be fun to try posting every once in a while.

So um. Thoughts? I guess?

Hot Take!!

Clodsire was literally the Moo Deng of Pokemon when Scarlet and Violet released.

Like look at this simple, gloopy, and unbothered creature:

I really want to watch inside out 2 again so bad.

If anyone is looking for a Christmas Hannukah present, I highly recommend The Latke Who Couldn't Stop Screaming, by Daniel Handler Lemony Snicket.

It's the story of a little latke who has to deal with obnoxious Christmas decorations who think Hannukah is Jewish Christmas. And also being fried in hot oil.

Hey, to anyone who celebrates, happy Halloween! 🎃

It's a cruel subconscious ingraining of double standards, really. I absolutely suggest looking into actual, unbiased history of all this and only then can people reach an educated conclusion. But I doubt that many people would take that advice...

This probably won’t be super coherent, because I haven’t slept in 24 hours and I’m basically 80% caffeine, but I’ve been thinking about how western (usually white, though not always) goyim get mad whenever a Jew says “antizionism is usually a cover for antisemitism.” And how their answer is always, “my problem is Israel! Not Jews!”

Because here’s the thing: the west has a long, long history of culturally ingrained antisemitism. You may not think your hatred towards Israel and the diaspora Jews who have any connection to Israel is because it’s a Jewish state. But society has subconsciously primed you from birth to see Jews as inherently shady liars who have all the power and money and control, and who claim victimhood to hide this. You have been groomed to mistrust us, to see us as oppressors, to see us as intrinsically unethical. And you are aware that Israel is a Jewish state, regardless of whether you consciously think it matters. So when literally anything goes down in Israel/Palestine? Your first thought isn’t that these are two marginalized groups of people who were forced into the situation by both the west and the Middle East, then pitted against each other. Your first thought is that of course the Israelis are evil oppressors. They’re over-privileged white colonizers who have all the power and money and control. We need to make sure they all leave Israel, live under a second age of pogroms, or die (which they won’t, according to you, because they’re rich white people with a mansion in New Jersey). And you may believe that you don’t feel this way because they’re Jewish, but you don’t seem to realize that it’s the subconscious, ingrained antisemitism that not only leads you to all of these conclusions, but that also leads you to independently attach historically diaspora-focused antisemitic tropes—tropes that’s existed for thousands of years and have nothing to do with Israel—to Israelis and beyond.

And then you wonder why we don’t trust you.
