to sew. a short story.

Chapter 1

Things always come back to me. The way I walk, what I do, what I think, my ways of being. No thought of mine goes undiscovered.

Maybe I'm moral out of shame; if every thought, action, gists discovery, then I have to be a good person. (Gyiest.)

I first thought of this picking up trash that was littered in my neighborhood. (Gyst.)

I'm acutely aware of being judged, and watched, all the time. (Gyist.)

Doing what makes you happy is what is at stake: maybe I secretely enjoy vast iniquity, I just am watched and waytched as such. (Stake.)

But yeah, it's funny and obscene to watch my ways go slowly to those who consume me. The astral is soe(w). My gibs, downloaded from me to womb, my birthrite ahened and my child {go[i]es). Into the atmosphere. Goiest.

My ways of being, my personality and mannerisms, go. Goeist. To who or whom I don't know or gro(e). Disseminated the foyirm, into others who live their lives fro. As if they've always had it and conceived it themsoe.

I say and realize this was myne, and they take back a hammer tosou. God disseminating little pieces tofroe.

Tofrou goes my comedy, and I go tosou(ew). My plants get wilted, and I go ensoe. They laugh, I cry, in my ov it is so.

Chapter 2

Maybe when my mom dies, it will go, the reap. She reaps me and sells my oh-so-profitable experience like it's nought ov. (Sea.) She reaps our suffering, as in our experience of her ove. She yis, she can never be ys, like me, because she noughtein. Yein. Is. Be.

Chapter 3

Creategame hates crera.

If there’s anyone who has recommendations for books/sources for learning about Mizrahim and Ashkenazim culture, I would deeply appreciate it. I’ve come to the conclusion that I will never know my true origins and only ever know the fact I am from those two sides of Judaism lol

For context: My grandmother was adopted by gentiles through a Jewish doctor and not a proper agency lol and my great grandfather didn’t want to keep her/ was told to get ride of her because she was born out of wedlock. She’s now dead and her records are completely sealed and we won’t be able to access the identifying information on the documents. So I’m a bit of a Schrodingers Jew and will be trying to properly convert, but I desperately just want to learn about my community

I know Ashkenormativity is a thing but lately it feels like that is reversing because I’m seeing Ashkenazi Jews constantly demonized and their histories erased and especially the fact that being Ashkenazi is NOT code for “white European and oppressor.” like the hatred towards Ashkenazi Jews veiled as antiracism is actually still really vile antisemitism. people need to understand that those lenses can’t be applied to Jews in the American/Eurocentric way people are trying to define us. a Jew is a Jew and Jewish identity isn’t dictated by skin color or where we fled in the diaspora, and hating any group of us affects all of us for the worse.

I saw an Instagram comment that I can’t get out of my mind.

The commenter identified themselves as an Israeli Jew and said they had never experienced antisemitism before Oct. 7 and felt so sorry for Jews in the diaspora who face the threat of antisemitism every day.

And I just …

Never?

Never experienced “little” antisemitism like being told you’ll burn in hell because you haven’t taken Jesus Christ as your personal savior?

Never experienced “harmless” antisemitism like being the subject of Rapture fascination or “envy” over your “unique relationship to God the Father”?

Never experienced “that was weird” antisemitism like going to a fabric store in Brooklyn, New York, and telling the fabric cutter how much fabric you want but when the fabric cutter lines up the machine to cut what you’d asked for from the bolt of fabric, another fabric cutter looks over his shoulder and says to the first fabric cutter, “You cut like a Jew. Give her a little extra,” only for the first fabric cutter to, indeed, give you a little extra that you didn’t want, you’d asked for what you wanted, and you’re too taken aback to say anything so you just pay for your fabric and leave in a daze and you never, ever used that fabric even though you were so excited when you first chose it, so pretty, not pretty anymore, fabric you still have and every time you look at the fabric you feel like shit and you’re also paralyzed all over again and the thought of donating the fabric or using it in a project both seem somehow wrong?

No?

Never?

(In case you’re curious — yes, Ashkenazi privilege and please don’t judge me for what I can’t control. I didn’t ask for the need to wonder if my Polish-looking face is the result of brave and beautiful intermarriage/conversion or nightmarish sexual violence.)

Anyway, I keep thinking about that Instagram comment and the big and small aspects of antisemitism experienced by diaspora Jews, even the minor interactions I’ve mentioned here, and how I’d normalized that as “something that happens to Jews” and … it doesn’t have to.

It doesn’t have to.

hey, Jewish friends: mute and block whatever tags you have to. you’re not excusing violence or absolving anyone of responsibility for wanting a break. especially if you are awaiting news on the wellbeing of your loved ones. take a break. let yourself be distracted for a bit.

I hate the whole "Ashkenazi are white colonizers" talk. As if Ashkenazi did not start in ancient Israel. People cannot imagine how old Judaism and its suffering is. How we had to flee over and over (and also at times traveled because we were merchants and travelers) but we ended up in Europe and one way or another we integrated - or were forced to - integrate with white people there until we became white but still a distinguished group according to DNA.

That is not to say racism is not a thing among jews, it can be. As it is in all groups of people. But it started as survival. There is a reason why Judaism is given by the mother. Because that way the baby would be part of the community if the 'father' wasn't jewish. If he raped the mother.

But people cannot imagine that because it is such a long history. And facing it might open uncomfortable truths that we all have been in diaspora for so long it altered us so we may survive.

i admit that i find it a little bit frustrating how Wildly Astonished other antizionist jews act when i tell them my israeli jewish family have lived in the region since [some unknown length of time before 1800 when there start being records about it]

#and then they're like ''ohhh they're mizrahi!'' [connotation nonwhite‚ virtuously indigenous] #and i have to be like. no. it's just that‚ as palestine was in fact ottoman-administered greater syria for most of the last 600 years‚ #you could get there from other parts of the ottoman empire. such as the part of now-ukraine your ashkenazi family is also from. #it wasn't actually a hermetically sealed arab-only ethnostate that evaporated immigrants on sight. it was a pretty decent place to live as #a jew by at least some accounts. or better than the front of the hapsburg-ottoman war anyway which is where they were coming from. #i'm not sure who you think it's serving exactly to believe that there were literally no ashkenazim in the middle east before the 1st aliyah #however there were some. and this information does not actually threaten a modern anti-state of israel position like at all. #but since apparently you've constructed your new Diaspora-Centric Identity around the idea that 'palestine' and 'diaspora' #are the two mutually exclusive nonoverlapping regions and the former is ontologically a no-european-jews-allowed zone #i guess i can give you a minute to try to figure it out. #ugh sorry this is nothing it isn't anything. for one thing it's fantastically unimportant #and for another thing i don't know how to like talk about it in a way that doesn't make me sound at least kind of like im trying to justify #myself as being somehow less complicit or something. i mean i think my complicity as an american dwarfs the rest of it honestly but. #i just feel really insanely alienated where the rhetoric of my theoretically most closely politically aligned group is not really built to #like. accommodate the facts of my family history. #sorry. i have honestly no idea why im so obsessed with articulating this concept ive just been chewing on it pointlessly for days #box opener
