β€œSocial murder” is a term created by Friedrich Engels to describe the premature death of marginalized people due to political, social, or economic oppression.

What is happening right now in America is the premeditated, calculated, & planned extermination of children who are trans. This is genocide.

Overheard at work:
β€œI wasn’t listening to you, I thought that was a private conversation.”
β€œNo, I was kvvvv-vetching at you. It’s such a pain.”

I avoided interjecting. Kvetch is one syllable though. Stretching it unnecessarily is weird.

like Christians that discover that the Talmud exists are frequently like JEWS ARE SO VENAL, THEIR HOLY BOOKS ARE ALL ABOUT *MONEY*!!!

and like, they’re the legal and economic corpus for a functioning community?

y’all are the ones that decided to separate out religion from everything else?

I was at CPJ for nearly a decade, helping to free journalists imprisoned by repressive governments around the world.

Never in the US.

I know I broke my streak Duo, but an image of you crying with the caption "No more Yiddish?" is a bit much. I am not personally killing Yiddish because I have fallen off on my practice.

A LOT of Republicans have been Pavlovian trained to see her as evil incarnate. That’s why the negative numbers are so high.

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

The most frustrating features of the anti trans side is how they constantly cite systematic reviews as objective when they're filled with subjective choices that can be adjusted to ensure certain outcomes. From exclusion criteria to individual analysis, it's still subjective. This is the proof.

I thought disassociating was a good defense mechanism to deal with depression and going around with a broken body. But I didn’t realize that I could get out of the prison by changing myself. And I saw the dysphoria that was under it all, which let me get out.

Typos FFS. Lousy phone autocorrect. I was typing a script the other day and there were no typos. It’s wild how bad phones do me.

The people operating the Temple weren’t wealthy. They were working class and lived modestly. There was only one group of Jews who were wealthy; the tax (tribute) collectors. They were able to hire leg breakers and could tell centurions to summarily execute people.

Kaplan’s law: any definition of antisemitism that isn’t centered on Jewish life experiences and how that hate impacts them is inevitably framed in a way to cover the definer’s ass.

No one was borrowing money to participate in rituals, FFS. There were numerous ways people could participate without having an animal to sacrifice. There were no loan sharks. There were collaborators with the occupiers, and CT makes it very clear Jesus befriended those collaborators.

There is no Temple in existence today. Not sure if you’re aware about that. We haven’t had one since the Bar Kochba revolt. YES, there are shuls named Temple Israel, but it’s not the same thing. There’s no place to pay dues to.

Yes, they also submitted to the rulings of the Sanhedrin and criticisms from the Tannaic circles, who were primarily interested in improving access for the poor, and who allowed grain offerings as an alternative to dove releases or animal sacrifices.

Pilate once demanded to be admitted into the Holy of Holies, got his way, and said he was better than what he saw there and left. And tax collectors shook the people down. Most of the sacrificed food was redistributed to the poor of the region.
The priests served the Jews and several authorities.

The article you cite doesn’t support all those claims. Contemporary accounts describe the priests as working class, performing a hereditary vocation while under duress from aggressive Roman occupiers, trying to keep the imperial cult out of the house of Judaism. They were humiliated by Roman force.

Pinball finals swag. Pocky, Swedish fish, MGSV for a console I don’t own that I can trade for credit on Metaphor Fromagio, a cute Pusheen tee, and glittery skeletal cat earrings. And a sash that is shiny and says β€œLET’S GO GIRLS”.
I KNOW they got that last one with me in mind.

A Jew, so he’s white too, I guess. He’s also Ashkenazi.

_I_ am white. Some Jews are black. Some Jews are Latine. Some Jews are Vietnamese.

I don’t think you care about anything besides the conclusions you already came to.

We don’t. The fact that you’re entertaining the premise exemplifies the problem.

The point I was making is having a general understanding of which books have the most libels and hateful scenes depicting Jews in them. It isn’t exactly how I expect Christians to interpret their texts.
