#i have been barely functioning what with the horrors of the world lately (and the horrors just keep piling on) #and am being v careful to not reblog anything so as to keep this place as gentle as poss because i’m probably not the only one who needs tha #(i’ve tried to avoid any kind of horrific details and even so the very little i read will haunt me for the rest of my life) #but i just CANNOT. for the life of me. wrap my head around how people can hear of such abject violence #being inflicted upon another living being -human or animal- and feel anything but absolute horror #like how much do you have to hate jews to be able to switch off any ounce of humanity and compassion for a living being? #the sheer number of folks - including close friends - i’ve unfollowed in the last week is staggering. #literally because i do not believe that anyone should ever get raped. like i thought we all agreed on this. #APPARENTLY NOT. i’ve never seen so many feminists brush off rape. #worst is these are all folks who love to post about punching nazis and who laugh at jewish jokes #when they’re from carrie fisher or mrs maisel or crazy ex gf or schmitt from new girl #but when it’s an actual pogrom - no more punching nazis all of a sudden #something broke in me this week to see that so-called activists who i thought were kind and decent - #don’t apparently believe that all human lives are created equal #it’s like we’ve all been working hard on being anti-racist but some of us didn’t feel that not being antisemitic was worth the bother
