This is going to be a little different from my usual posts, but here I go anyways.
It is rare, especially now, for online content to make me really and truly happy. But today I saw something that both made me really happy and also made me think.
I was scrolling through TikTok and came across multiple videos of the same kind. A woman wearing a hijab was finding other Muslim women and was helping them try on a hijab for the first time. These videos brought me so much joy. The hijabi woman's gestures were so kind and loving, she seemed almost like an older sister to the other women. The care with which she helped them put on the hijab was so sweet. And then there was the reaction of the women to wearing a hijab for the first time. There were before and after shots, and every single time, the "after" photos of them in the hijab were so happy. It was so pure to see women finding joy in dressing in a way that brought them comfortable.
But even more interestingly, it was a joy I recognized. The sisterly and caring gestures of the more experienced hijabi were familiar too.
The joy I saw in the "after" photos was reminiscent of my emotions when I first intentionally dressed tznuis (Jewish modesty). It was recent, and I felt so comfortable and safe in the clothes I was wearing, and I recognized that comfort in the faces of the women in the videos.
The sweet and caring gestures of the experienced hijabi reminded me a bit of my interactions with rebbetzins and other older religious women in various communities. They're always so sweet and kind (in my experience of course), and I noticed that they frequently try to connect through touch. You know, putting a hand on my shoulder or elbow. Hugs, of course. Using those gestures to make people feel heard and listened to.
And that made me think. We are so much more similar than the media gives us credit for. In fact, it reminded me of an interaction I had with a classmate just last week.
In one of my classes, we were talking about cultural traditions, and we were supposed to pair up and discuss family traditions we have. I mentioned that I love celebrating New Year's because my family doesn't celebrate Christmas, but due to them coming to the US from ex-USSR countries, they brought over similar yet secular and unique traditions for New Year's.
The girl I ended up pairing up with mentioned that she also didn't celebrate Christmas, because she was Muslim, and then she started talking about what her family does for Ramadan.
We ended up having a really nice discussion, connecting over having to fast for holidays, being surrounded by a majority Christian world, and other things we had in common.
And at the very beginning of the year, a Jewish friend of mine and I were complaining to each other about how lame it was that there were only two cheese pizzas at the event, and the rest were all pepperoni (and therefore not kosher), which led into a discussion of accommodating dietary restrictions. We unintentionally ended up sitting next to a few Muslim girls who heard our conversation and joined in, and we had the fun experience of bonding over the pork-obsessed world we all live in.
So yeah. We're actually not as different as the media and politicians make us look.
This is why, as much as I try to advocate about antisemitism, I still try to call out Islamaphobia in my day-to-day life.
There really isn't an excuse for hating an entire group. No excuse for awful and slanderous generalizations, which I've seen made about both us and Muslims. Just as antisemitism shouldn't have any place in these discussions, neither does Islamaphobia.
In fact, I think it would be amazing if we could set aside our differences and unite on this issue.
I know we may feel adversely towards each other in regards to the Israel-Hamas war and our views on it. And I'm not going to force anyone to agree/disagree on all the same things about it. Both sides are hurt. Both sides are accusing each other of genocide, and neither one (majority, I know extremist views exist on both sides, that's not who I am talking about here) actually hates all of the other side to the point of wanting to kill each other.
Yes, we disagree. Yes, our disagreement right now is serious and valid. But there is something we can, I hope, agree upon, and that's the fact that neither side of what's happening should employ Islamaphobic/Antisemitic rhetoric.
So here's a summary of what I'm trying to say:
We aren't as different as we are portrayed to be. We aren't "natural enemies" or whatever people think. We are all human, and we should all be united in the fact that generalized hate has no place on either side.
Both Antisemitism and Islamaphobia are rising right now. We may not see eye to eye on everything, but we are all human, and we should all do our part in dealing with that rise in hate. Not contribute to it.
...
Even though I am trying to speak against hate and division right now, I am certain that I'm probably going to receive at least a few hateful or negative responses to this. But you know what?
I don't really care anymore. Those hateful people are not anyone I could ever change or convince. So I'm going to try and remind myself to pick my battles and not waste energy on pointless arguments. Hateful responses to this post will be blocked and deleted.
However, Muslims of Tumblr, if I did say anything culturally problematic or inaccurate (for example, if the term "hijabi" or "experienced" in regards to being a hijabi is somehow a problem) (or like if comparing wearing a hijab at all to tznuis clothing is an issue) please let me know so I can fix it! I tried to not be culturally insensitive but I don't really know all that much so please do let me know!

Little People, Big Art...
I will be less inclined to selecting, highlighting, praising, writing texts, pointing to the YWAMag galleries of the scornful artists. There are two reasons for this hate (cold hate, most of the time, aka passive aggressiveness) : slander, and “anti-racism”, as I am considered by neo-collaborationnists as a “white racist”, which I’m actually not, but having daily worked for about 6 years on crime and terrorism, my fact reports and logical conclusions don’t please those neo-collaborationnists. Yet, the mag is literally full of neo-collabs’. It doesn’t matter, I can’t do otherwise, I just have not to know it or think about this shit.
These little people function by hate and boycott and this is opposed to art. I’m here for art. The Tumblr staff is strictly the same, recruiting on these ideological bases. So, I keep on praising, selecting, etc, just slightly less, for these little people, with big art. Basile Pesso - YWAMag director since 2 014 Nirvana, Serve the Servants

Flicards vous êtes littéralement fascinants de connerie et de folie on va vous attaquer collectivement en justice pour harcèlement (et pas que) sur victimes d'actes de torture et de barbarie. Vous êtes foutus.
-Je n'ai AUCUN CASIER JUDICIAIRE dans aucun pays. J'ai vécu en France métropolitaine, en Espagne, et à la Réunion.
-Je n'ai AUCUN HISTORIQUE DE VIOLENCE SCOLAIRE.
-Je ne TUE NI EN VRAI NI À DISTANCE.
-Je lutte contre la violence quotidiennement en particulier en France depuis 2 017. J'ai ainsi subi ainsi que ma femme et collaboratrice un boycott terrifiant étant donné que je m'occupe beaucoup de violence de rue et qu'elle n'est pas blanche en Occident et surtout en France.
-La rumeur sur moi "sorcier serial killer télépathe" qui ne court pas que chez des clampins atteint des proportions mondiales et gravissimes. Je ne détaille pas les faits liés à ces délires pour l'instant, et ne dis pas qui en est atteint.
-Les massacres et autres afflictions non létales de type paralysie des jambes continuent depuis le 13. Non, je n'ai ni grimoire ni marmite ni chapeau pointu. Vous êtes PSYCHIATRIQUEMENT MALADES et devez vous faire interner pour notre sécurité.

Today I had a great day, with a terrible experience from another parent at my kids' school.
I wore my favourite new t-shirt:
Tumblr media
And as I was walking to the school picnic, another parent was walking toward me, with her two young kids (preschool aged) and commented:
"I should have worn my straight shirt."
I laughed until I realised what she said (my brain takes a minute to process) and as I walked away I managed to say (hopefully loud enough)
"At least we'd know you're a bigot."
Overall, I wish I had said it louder and faster, on the other hand, everyone I told this story to was offended on my behalf on how hateful this parent was.
I live in BC, Canada. Hate is real. Canadians have a duty to be loud and proud, to drown out the hate. We are not immune to the influence of narrow minded people. And we owe it to our kids to help make the world a safer place.

Same landscape, different views (Perth, Scotland)
Acrylic and polymer on canvas
90x90cm
2023
James, was a compassionate employee at the city hall, always elegant looking with his suit, tie and warm smile. One evening, he sought solace in the public park, having a peaceful smoke. Unfortunately, his peace was abruptly shattered when three boys, on their way to a party, crossed paths with him. Regrettably, they chose to inflict physical harm upon James, beating him to the ground, leaving him in a grievous state on the park grass. Unaffected, the teenagers proceeded to join their intended gathering, reveling in their malevolent actions.
As the night continued, the trio retraced their steps, encountering James once more. Tragically, he remained motionless on the ground, his wounds unattended. They cowardly left him there throughout the night. It was not until the following morning, when a passerby stumbled upon the scene, that James’s lifeless body was discovered.
A reminder of the cruelty that transpired, his beloved blue tie now adorns a tree near the park bench in Perth. The city itself bears witness to the profound impact of this tragic event, forever altered by the loss of James.
James lived to be 51 years old.

i have a special hatred for liberal zionists who say "you're not helping Palestinians" and pretending to advocate for us. keep our names out of your mouth. you do not speak for us. only talking about how you feel victimized while we watch people die of bombardment and starvation. i would rather you admit your selfishness than for you to pretend to care about us only to use us for your own self interests.

the taylor swift ai porn issue is such a bleak reminder of how inescapable the horrors of misogyny are. like obviously there's the talk of sort of "celebrity problems" like treatment by the tabloids etc, but beyond that there's just the constant heinous shit that women seemingly cannot escape no matter what. it doesn't matter that she (as well as other female celebrities) is extremely rich and famous and successful and has basically as much privilege and power as it is possible for any person to have, ultimately that's still not enough to escape the revenge porn and sexual assault and stalking and harassment. like there is literally no level of power a woman can have that puts her out of reach of all the men who hate women and want to control and humiliate and subjugate us in any way they can.

Everything's Gonna Be Ok.
To briefly keep on after my 4 texts of two days ago that have made run away half of you : I don't wait anything from any of you. I have been trying for ten years to wake you up and THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE. Along the years several persons have had the bravery to like some of my texts and fact reports. Globally they haven't been cancelled by the neo-fascists. But who knows ? Have they missed professional opportunities ? France is literally dying. It's now been ten years that many people fear the civil war. Or sometimes hope it, "to end this shit". In June during the riots we have been very close to plunging into civil war. All this has been described by several authors included me in an unfinished novel (Lise) that I had published on Fb slightly before the disappearance of my wife and collaborator. I was particularly proud of this novel, the first one I was about to finish after about 5 unfinished novels. But Anne's disappearance literally cut my wings, on all planes, and obviously the novels' one - except one which hopefully will be published soon -.
Guerre Civile Raciale by Guillaume Faye and the Guerilla series by Laurent Obertone are the two novels/saga that describe what could happen. OBVIOUSLY they have been described by neo-collaboration as "far-right". But the facts are here. Barbarian, each day. Boroughs ravaged by drug deal, gun violence, often kalachnikov one, street rapes, street assaults, murders, burglaries, assassinations, diverse stealings and vandalisms, kidnappings, forced prostitution often upon minors.
Migrants high in this lovely prize list but the invasion HAS to go on and if we protest we're "racists". It's not only France but as said two days ago this is the eye of the cyclone. Don't worry. We're here for art. I know. Basile Pesso - YWAMag director Placebo, I know
P.S : and OBVIOUSLY, the only reactions I get are unfollowings. I told you, it's been ten years that I have been knowing you.

Palme Jaune...
Le climax de l’imbécillité. Après la collaborationniste Rance-Impair Sophia Aram qui croit se découvrir Résistante et qui ordonne en insultant ceux qui ne suivent pas sa kamikazerie délirante de rediffuser les caricatures de Mahomet, n'ayant pas compris ce que j'ai expliqué 5 fois avant la décapitation de Paty et l'attentat devant les anciens locaux de Charlie-Hebdo par un Pakistanais, voici l'idée absolument lumineuse : se désigner comme cible à Franceghreb face à des millions de Musulmans chauffés à blanc par la guerre israélo-palestinienne.
Cazorla est un homme politique RN. La "dédiabolisation" pour se montrer non-antisémite n'a pas de limite, c'est le fameux "virtue signaling" qu'on voit à l'oeuvre dans le lynchage sur lequel j'ai écrit il y a 2 heures.
Ce virtue signaling pourrait nous entraîner directement dans la guerre israélo-palestinienne. Actuellement ce n'est pas un national-sioniste qui gouverne, mais si c'était le cas le risque serait encore plus grand.
C'est un des principes du national-sionisme trans-Etatique : systématiquement mobiliser derrière la cause juive, quelles qu'en soient les conséquences.
Basile Pesso, 1er novembre 2 023 (Fb) Avec post Fb de Jean-Christophe Cazorla avec l'étoile jaune nazie : "Et si tout le monde arbore cette étoile sur son profil."

What progress at home has biden enacted? What policies of his show that he is making progress that prove he is actually different than trump?
I like to pretend I have faith in humanity, so I'll answer as if you're asking this in good faith.
Biden's DEA has lifted restrictions on telehealth prescriptions to make appointments and assistance more accessible.
He put a funding package into place to help unhoused people get access to mental and physical healthcare, as well as short-term and long-term housing.
He has attempted and is still attempting to get student debt relief through - this was blocked by Republican judges appointed by Trump, but he's still working on it.
Infrastructure repair - his administration has budgeted funds to actually fix some severely-damaged and frequently-traveled bridges.
Trying to expand access to healthcare to include undocumented immigrants who came to the USA as children (Dreamers) under the Affordable Care Act. Support for Navigator programs and outreach has also been increased.
He has vetoed Republican-led bills that were attempting to overturn environmental protections - one that would have forbidden investment fund managers to consider climate change in their portfolios (I have two degrees in accounting and this is actually huge), and another that would have overturned restrictions on agricultural runoff into our waterways.
He and his administration worked for ages to get rail workers paid sick days.
This is just some of what he's been doing. Meanwhile, Trump and other Republicans want to criminalize the lives of LGBT people like you and me. They want to eliminate no-fault divorce and force births that will kill parents or devastate them financially. They have stated flat out that they want to install a military dictatorship in the USA. They attempted to put that in motion on January 6th, 2021. They failed once. They will do better next time.
One party wants to house the homeless and expand social safety nets, while the other one wants to criminalize homelessness. One of them wants a future in which I might be able to vote to change how much of a war machine my country is, while the other one wants to eliminate my ability to vote entirely. Those are not the same. Those literally are opposites.
At the end of the day, all you and I can do is choose to do the least amount of harm possible. You and I cannot choose to do no harm. This is the USA, we sell war, you and I cannot choose to do no harm. I wish we could, my god do I wish we could, but that is not an option. So we grieve for the harm we couldn't eliminate and work to minimize the harm that is done. Despite all the crap they support, Democrats are the minimum amount of harm right now. Acting like they aren't is exactly what brought us to an election where our options are a future where we are either wading in blood or drowning in it.
Not voting for Biden will not help Palestine. Not voting for Biden will guarantee a Republican president who will make the situation in Palestine WORSE. AND it'll hurt a lot of other places as well, both at home and abroad, because Republicans are about business and the USA is in the business of war! And I would very much like that to change someday! I would very much like to someday be able to choose to do no harm! And I know what I have to do to try for that future, so what are YOU going to do? There is no standing off to the side in this. If you aren't helping pull, you're the dead weight we're pulling. Are you going to dig your feet into the mud and blood and drown us there? Or are you going to get the fuck off your ass, grit your teeth, and help us pull free?

Same landscape, different views (Münster, Germany)
Acrylic and polymer on canvas
90x90cm
2023
On a sunny day in Münster, the Christopher Street Day Pride parade began. Amidst the melodies and festivities, a young man named Malte, embracing his identity as a trans man, was partying with friends.
As fate would have it, a fatal moment unfolded when Malte overheard the distressing echoes of homophobic slurs directed towards a lesbian couple. Driven by an unwavering commitment to justice, he courageously stepped forward to defend and protect them. The assailant possessed formidable skills as a former boxer, unleashing a relentless torrent of violence that left Malte battered and unconscious.
Urgently sent away to undergo a series of operations, the severity of his injuries plunged Malte into a coma, a cruel consequence of a devastating brain hemorrhage. Despite the tireless efforts of the medical staff, his life was over. Malte’s glasses were left behind on a cafe table and never picked up.
In the wake of this heart-rending loss, the collective spirit of 6,500 souls converged upon the streets of Münster, harmonizing in mournful yet defiant unity. Their voices intertwined in cathartic song, soaring through the city's cobblestoned alleys, fighting for safe havens of acceptance and relentlessly demanding justice. United through Malte's beloved melodies, they embarked upon a quest to transform grief into a catalyst for societal change.
Malte died 25 years old.
