Guys guys guys I have an idea:

Wes Anderson movie with a Will Wood soundtrack

Converting people to the path of sin (convincing a friend to listen to my podcasts)

Listening to Malevolent feels like:

I don’t think I’m the first nor the last to say it, John right now sounds like a man in a tin can

this user’s blog is a safe place for trans lesbians.

There is so much love in my body for this man and this silly little show with all the little guys in space <3<3<3

Casting a spell on you that makes you happy, by the way. Your day tomorrow will be pretty good. Something nice will happen, maybe.

I am sick and tired of people saying the new Harry Potter game is "Just a video game" and that "You are being antisemitic for seeing Jewish people as goblins" (we fucking dont, but to you people dogwhistles dont exist, so)

So Im gonna fucking tell you how its NOT just a video game, and that dogwhistles are a thing that exist, and you need to start seeing them if you want to be an ally to Jewish people.

I think the most obvious thing to people is the use of a Shofar as a "Goblin Artifact." For those who dont know, Shofars are a Jewish religious instrument :)!!!!

Wow!!! That doesnt look good! What does that artifact look like to you...?

Aha!

You see that?

"Used for Jewish religious purposes."

Now, lets get into the less obvious things to you people (that SHOULD be obvious)

In the Harry Potter world, Goblins were depicted as bankers. In the movies, they were depicted with large, hooked noses and pointy ears, with sharp rat like teeth.

"But OP! Thats just what goblins are in fantasy! They are greedy and ugly!" Have you ever considered that old folklore and fairy tales could be antisemitic too? Antisemitism ran in Europe for CENTURIES, not just during WWII.

You know what else is an antisemitic jewish stereotype? Greedy for money, maybe bankers that rule things behind the scenes with big hooked noses, rat like looks, pointy ears and occasionally horns.

How are none of you seeing this.

Not only that, in one of the movies, inside the bank, a symbol that looks suspiciously close to the star of david is used.

Oh but yk..its just a game, I guess, according to y'all.

The game of course has other problems. Its world building is awful, the story is literally just a blood libel (which is also antisemitic), theres not enough content for the $60 its worth unlike other $60 games, and they legit named a trans women character fucking Sirona Ryan. Any money you give to this game will be given to JK Rowling because all of the programmers and developers already recieved their pay. Not only that, but their lead dev is just as awful if not moreso than JK Rowling.

"Its just a game! Look at the transgender people being killed in the streets!"

Maybe you'd be right if it werent for the fact Rowling literally has the status and money to fuck trans people over in the UK. And not only that, you are actively consuming antisemitic content and not caring for your jewish cousins around you because of your want for a nostalgia factor.

So no, Carol, its not just a game.

Buy it or pirate it if you want, but dont be surprised when transgender and jewish people alike dont trust you, because I certainly wont.

The Death Toll of the Earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria may have reached 20,000 people, and that’s outside of all those who are injured and lost.

If you could donate PLEASE do!!!

Here’s a post full of charities you could donate to, but I’ll add my own trustworthy ones here:

Islamic Relief:  teams are on the ground right now providing emergency food assistance, shelter, medical supplies to hospitals and clinics, as well as blankets and tents for those made homeless by the quake in Turkey and Syria

Molham: The team at Molham are currently on the ground helping displaced families in Turkey and Syria who have been affected by the earthquake   

The White Helmets: The team are on the ground in Northwest Syria searching for survivors and removing the dead from the rubble.

MSF: remaining in close contact with the local authorities in northwestern Syria and with the authorities in Turkey to extend their support where it’s needed. They’re providing essential life kits to displaced people in the region

please PLEASE reblog. Syria and Turkiye need our help!!!

I don't know who needs to hear this but if audio processing disorder, being d/Deaf/hoh, not having the attention span for podcasts ever deterred you from getting into Welcome to Night Vale, I need you to know that the official website has transcripts for all of its episodes, PLUS if you want to read it in book format, there are script books out for all the episodes, and each chapter has fun little notes from the authors about the writing of those episodes! I have the first script book and it's really nice, 10/10 would recommend.

happy death day!!!!!

"OH MY GOD CECIL AND CARLOS

CECIL AND CARLOS THEM! THEM!!! AAAAA QAAAAAAAA" - me listening to 100 today

CW: antisemitism, pale of settlement, pogroms, genocide, cultural erasure

I don't think goyim can really conceive of how much Jews actually hold back in our criticism of antisemitism in media, and when you hear us it is often because we see a dangerous message that you don't... Yet.

I have a complicated relationship with Tim Burton's rendition of The Corpse Bride. I love it as a beautiful piece of stop motion art, but it isn't what it should have been, he took a Jewish story from the Pale and with intention stripped it of its Jewish origins. This alone is incredibly antisemitic. The criticism you will hear has probably been "this is a Jewish story, it should have retained its Jewish elements" but have you heard why we feel strongly about this story?

The story of the corpse bride is incredibly important to me and was born from Jewish trauma and Christian violence. Mobs would routinely attack Jewish weddings, they would murder brides and they would bury them in unmarked graves by the roadside still in their wedding clothes, they reasoned that without Jewish wives there are no Jewish mother's. Jews are intrinsic to the story.

It is antisemitism to take our story, about our pain, at the hands of non-jews and strip it for "useful" parts, in fact it is heartbreaking every time.

We are often forced to pick our battles and fighting a battle over a movie that has already been released by a director with a cult following is not worth it, you only hear us speak up in numbers when the antisemitism may lead to another century of violence, because raising our voice means picking a fight, because so many of you already see our pain as inconvenient and it is exhausting to never be heard.
