I think the shittiest part of this is the fact that when I went to shul this morning, I didn’t feel like I was in any more danger than before. Philadelphia felt like an inevitability. We know how bad antisemitism is and the only question that remains is, “so when and where is it going to happen?”

Tumblr, I want you to think really hard about that and then ask yourself why you keep dismissing antisemitism.

I really need non-Jews to understand, when people are talking about queerness in Judaism, when Jewish people celebrate queerness, when Jewish communities become more widely accepting of queerness, it’s not modernizing, it’s not catching up to the West or however you want to put it. It’s decolonizing. We are decolonizing. Always remember that.

It is genuinely so weird to listen to people talk about sheydim who’ve literally never interacted with them, who have no experience w them, who can only talk about them in a purely theoretical sense. And like, you can tell. You can hear them talk and tell that they have never actually experienced it. It’s super weird to me as someone who has unwillingly been interacting with them for as long as I can remember.
