@ gentiles: if you choose to take a stand and advocate for palestinians (as you should - if you're able) you need to also research antisemitic dogwhistles & the history of antisemitism in the pro-palestinian movement; the movement is not inherently antisemitic, but there are antisemitic expressions of it because antisemitism is a hatred that permeates through every section of society.

when you neglect to ensure your activism isn't just thinly-veiled antisemitism, you are not only harming jews but delegitimising an important cause. you have a duty to educate yourself for the sake of both jews and palestinians.

then again, i am aware that many gentiles simply don't care - they know they're being bigoted & they enjoy wearing a progressive mask to see how far their hatred can spread.

and to those people: you are cowards. stop hiding behind anti-zionism and own your bigotry. stop weaponising the suffering of palestinians.

Hundreds of thousands of people came out today in London to March for a Free Palestine. Hundreds of thousands of people disagreeing with the current government stance on the war. Don’t let the media fool you, people in the UK stand with Palestine.

A question I get asked a lot while working at a public library is "how do you deal with homeless people?"

And the answer is, we don't.

The unhoused people who come here seeking refuge 99% of the time understand that they will be kicked out if they misbehave.

The people you have to watch out for are Jessica, who only came because the kid she didn't want had to visit for a homework assignment and she just *needs* to yell at her child for asking to borrow two books or stay an extra five minutes, or Michael, who came in to look at porn on our computers for whatever fucking reason, or Karen who just wanted to come by to throw a fit that the particular book she wanted was checked out and harrass our staff about our collection being too limited.

99% of the time, the people we need to ban are middle to upper-middle class white people while the homeless and mentally ill/disabled people mind their own damn business and are honestly some of the best patrons we have.

Y’all ever get those random ghost-shivers, where it isn’t even cold or anything, but all of a sudden it feels like you are full of static electricity and you shake uncontrollably?
