Zionists want you to conflate Judaism and Zionism. Zionists want you to believe that Judaism cannot exist without Zionism and that all Jews are Zionists. Zionism would have Jews believe that a Jewish state is the only way that they can be safe from antisemitism and will point to any instance of antisemitism as proof that Zionism is the solution- so Zionism wants gentiles to be antisemitic in their support of Palestine. They want you to conflate all Jews with Zionism and the state of Israel, and they want you to treat all Jews regardless of political affiliation as the face of Israel. Antizionist Jews exist, and incidences of antisemitism ostensibly acting against Zionism will not help dismantle the forces propping Zionism up.

Don't do their work for them.

#red rambles #viva palestina #antizionism #i haven't actually seen a lot of antisemitism personally. not recently anyway. but that's more a feature of me not following antisemites #i DO however see a lot of people talking about the people they're seeing throw their support behind antisemites using palestine #as an excuse to conflate all jews with israel #and i cannot stress enough that that is literally what israel and zionist forces abroad WANT. #i am jewish. my entire family is jewish. i want to see palestine free. and i have SEEN how the jewish community gets conflated with israel #both from the inside and out #and i am dead serious when i say that every time someone is antisemitic it strengthens the conviction from people abroad #that it's a terrible sad situation but there's 'no other choice' #if you're being antisemitic you are doing the enemy's work for them. Stop it. #like... look. i am putting this in the tags bc im talking in the tags but i mean this. I do not give a single flying fuck if you personally #are a giant raging antisemite at the moment. Your personal beliefs are your problem and not mine. I do not fucking care. But if you are #being openly and loudly antisemitic *in your support of palestine* you are absolutely not fucking helping. I am so dead serious right now #if you want to raise awareness and you're being antisemitic because of deep held beliefs or whatever i want you to look around and read the #fucking room. Do you understand how much of Israel's international support comes from the idea that they are the only country where jews ar #safe from antisemitism? do you see how every time palestine comes up people point at incidences of antisemitism in anti-genocide actions to #discredit the entire movement? do you not understand how your actions are cutting the movement down at the knees? #i'm jewish and proud of it. i don't like antisemitism. but there's a genocide on and i'd rather work against it than quibble over who i #work alongside. i dont fucking care. you can be as antisemitic as you like in private. stop fucking the movement up. #there are bigger things to worry about here. if i can put aside my own concerns as to who i'm talking to you can hold your tongue #and fight the good fight instead of handing weapons to the people who are trying to fucking flatten gaza.

in news from grad life, my supervisor asked me about phd plans today and upon hearing i want to take a few years to do various non-academic things before i start one, immediately produced an application form for a scholarship to study abroad in iceland for a year? like this was not remotely on the radar of what i was planning for next year but tbf i hadn't actually planned that much, and i was initially looking at a master's programme in iceland before i settled on the one i've actually ended up on, so... why not! could be living in iceland this time next year! sometimes niche, half-buried teenage dreams do come true!

#it is a scholarship to study the first year of the BA in icelandic as a second language #and i think after that year you can choose whether to reapply for the scholarship and keep going with the rest of the degree or not #i have other vague post-masters ideas such as enrolling in a 6ish month long creative writing course i've had an eye on for a while #but that is online and could theoretically be done alongside a uni course in icelandic #if anyone following me for whatever reason knows anything about being an international student in iceland i am eager for advice #spending my evening hyping myself up and going down study abroad research rabbit holes #15 y.o. magnus studying a beat-up second-hand icelandic grammar book on their school lunch breaks is thriving rn #oh i am also taking very *very* beginner's icelandic classes at uni alongside my master's this year but it's not certified/accredited #i don't even think the teacher is qualified i'm p sure they just enlisted the first icelandic man they found who happened to be in the city #rambles

This time 26 years ago, I went to Paris for the first time as part of a college study abroad program. We were based in Canterbury, England and took a weekend trip to Paris. It was so fun! I loved it!

P.S. For all you whippersnappers out there, this is what pictures taken on film look like - ha!

My "artsy" shot of the Eiffel Tower.

The longer I've stayed in the US the more I doubt whether I really should continue to stay, as every rule seems to be made against you staying.

#just found out even the artist visa which you need to be “excellent” to get is single entry. for a 3 years+ visa. #which makes traveling abroad difficult and stressful #US is also like the only place that doesn't allow international students to work while at school lol #my bullshits

alone at brunch

i’m sitting at this cafe i love when this family walks in and they sit at the table next to me. the mother sits on the bench with her youngest son and her daughter on either side of her. the older son takes the chair in front of them and the father glances over at my table and graciously asks if he could please have the empty chair across from me and i agree. i sit there reading my book while sipping my green concoction of ice and matcha as this family interacts and converses. the youngest son, also the one seated closest to me, fiddles with his shoe laces as the daughter asks her mother if she could tell her about her latest discovery about the planets. the father is trying to figure out that qr code menu while the older son decides to dump the sugar packets from their container onto the table and arrange them like some sugar packet castle. as i glance over to them before looking out the giant window near them i can’t help but think about my own family, about my mother and father and my sister and brother, about how i was with them just a few days ago. about how we were laughing together and debating acting performances in a film we had just seen. and i can’t help but smile, i miss them it’s been barely three days but i miss them terribly. i think about calling my mom right now, but i decide not to, she’s probably at work anyways. i could message my dad but he’s got lots to do. my sister maybe, but what would i even say? would i ask her about her search for colleges or if she’d finally decided what major she’d apply to? no, that would only annoy her, i don’t want to be a grievance. i could message my brother, send him a quick text, but he’s 12 and i don’t really know what to say to him, talking to him is always weird because he’s quite mature but acts like a 3 year old and i never knew how to talk to him when he was 3. besides his phone is probably out of charge. i usually love being in my own company. i usually love eating by myself. but right now with this family right next to me with eldest son having completed his castle of sugar, and the mother taking a picture of her daughter as she bites into a strawberry, and the youngest son licking his spoon clean of chocolate syrup, i see just how alone i am. ‘i love being alone,’ i remind myself, ‘i love being alone.’ yes. i love being alone; i hate being lonely.

i hope you enjoyed this little entry, writing it was somewhat cathartic. xo mellilla

Getting Lost in Italy

Italian Culture

Italian culture is composed of a beautiful mix of art, architecture, history, music, and food, making it a must-see destination. Italy is home to a wide variety of historical landmarks and sites, from the Leaning Tower of Pisa to the Colosseum in Piazza dei Miracoli, all sure to make your visit one to remember! Much of the culture in Italy is strongly influenced by religion, the Roman Catholic Church and Roman Mythology being the most prominent in historical and cultural aspects such as their architecture and art. In terms of customs, family orientation and a strong sense of community is what Italians are known for, and when visiting this country, expect gracious hospitality from the residents. 

Food

Italy is famous for its high-quality cuisine that has become popular all over the world. This ranges from different variations of pizzas, pastas, risotto, cured meats, seafoods, cheeses, and my personal favorite, gelato! All of the ingredients used in Italian dishes are fresh and flavorful, and there is simply nothing like it! Whether you are fine dining or just roaming the cobblestone streets looking for a quick bite, Italy has some of the best cuisine if you’re a foodie looking to try a little bit of everything. In comparison to the United States, tipping is not as common in Italy, however it is important to show gratuity to these friendly residents.

Attractions and Activities

Rome is the capital of Italy and home to numerous historical events, and it is because of this that there is so much to see and experience. In Rome, ancient ruins of the Colosseum and the Pantheon monument are unforgettable spots. I would recommend visiting the Vatican City, home of the Roman Catholic Church, which holds the gorgeous Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica, featuring some of the world’s most famous religious and renaissance style art/architecture. Florence is another go-to destination for gorgeous architecture and museums. Be sure to check out the Academia Gallery to marvel at The Statue of David! While you're in Florence, don't forget (though it's hard to miss) the breathtaking Duomo Catholic Church, which features stunning gothic architecture. When visiting these holy places, make sure to dress modestly and be respectful of the traditions and customs. If you venture to Venice, the Grand Canal is one of the main waterways that takes you through the beautiful Italian architecture. A gondola ride through the gorgeous bridges is something you have to experience for yourself! And finally, if you’re feeling adventurous, take a trip to southern Italy to the Amalfi Coast to see picturesque views and colorful towns that line the breathtaking cliffs.

Transportation

Italy has a great array of transportation methods that make getting to one city to another quick and easy for travelers. Depending on where you are, the most popular methods of transportation include trains, buses, and taxis. Italy has very narrow streets, so the best way to really get around the cities is by walking, but I would recommend the trains if you are traveling long distances, as they are very straight forward and inexpensive. If you happen to find yourself in Venice, and are wanting a more scenic method of travel, the city offers a considerably large network of transportation through canals using gondolas, ferries, and water taxis. These rides are extremely fun and I would highly recommend if you get the chance!

L M A O having worked with a number of german lawyers, i know for a fact that qualifying to practice law in germany is a process that takes roughly 7 years at least and two separate rounds of state exams, no shortcuts.

#ace attorney #you're telling me mr. glam rockstar started studying law at the tender age of 10? #i don't mcfuckin think so #anyway works out to roughly the same time as jurisdictions where law can only be studied at graduate level #although my understanding is also that german lawyers are more likely to pursue LLMs and such after their basic qualifications #(or between them? #i feel like there were a number of interns who had passed the first state exam #and were now doing an LLM before heading into the intern stage and second state exam #or had completed an LLM and were now doing the intern stage or something along those lines #point is: i was getting the sense that although roughly 7 years is the minimum amount of time within which it is possible to qualify #many of the ambitious folks who want to work at major firms or abroad and such will take longer)

Thank you for always sharing TGCF news with fans! It's not always easy for me to follow what's going on, so I really appreciate it. Do you know if season 2 of the donghua will be available on Netflix?

Hello Anon!

You're very welcome, I'm always happy to help!

I think season 2 will indeed be available on Netflix, however it's unlikely to be simulcast or anything. And I don't know when new episodes will be added--could be either the day of/soon after an episode's initial release, or much later.

Personally, I believe it will take some time, perhaps well after the season has fully aired. Bilibili's YouTube channel and Crunchyroll (among other international sites) are confirmed to be broadcasting them, and the later probably as a simulcast. So they probably wouldn't want it to go on Netflix too quick and cut into their own subscription profits. But who knows, maybe everyone will play nice!

If waiting is not an issue, then you'll likely be totally fine to watch it on Netflix at some point, but if you want to watch it as it broadcasts, then you'll have to check out Bilibili/Crunchy/etc. Keep in mind that more options for watching the donghua might be added closer to release, so it might be worth it to wait.

As it stands, I do not know the "best" way for people in North America to watch the donghua yet, because Bilibili's CN site is possibly not airing it due to censorship regulations. Meanwhile, their YouTube channel did not have TGCF season 1 available in North America. But then while Funimation (now absorbed into Crunchyroll) did """simulcast""" the release for North America, it was a bit... iffy. While Crunchy is typically better with simulcasts (at least with anime), I don't know if it's wise to put my eggs in that basket yet because nothing's confirmed! I'll keep ya'll posted, though!

#Anonymous #tgcf #i remember funi being like 'yeah we will be simulcasting!!' and a bunch of my friends subbed to it #only for like every episode to delayed by hours LIKE WHAT that is NOT a simulcast lmfao #it would have been fine if they'd been upfront about it coming out a bit later but they werent so it was extremely confusing #for fans who were eagerly waiting and unable to watch the episode while everyone else was hyped up :( #it was also thrice as expensive for a funi sub than it was to pay for the bilibili CN sub #i hope Crunchy is a true simulcast this time at least... if they even decide to simulcast AT ALL #otherwise we'll have to go abroad with a VPN again fellas #Also no: i do not know the 'original' broadcast source yet #it MIGHT be Bilibili YT but it might be an international Bilibili site but i haven't looked into it so i dont feel comfortable saying #asks

I absolutely adore having friends all over the world. My best friend casually invited me to come live with her in Paris for a while.

Then, my other best friend casually invited me to her summer home in Mongolia. (I have two Mongolian friends who I want to see again so bad).

Then, everyone I met in South Korea said that if I ever returned to SK, I could stay with them.

(Not to mention everyone I met in SK: from Japan, Kazakstan, France, China, Spain, Uzbekistan, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Russia, the Netherlands, etc).

School has already started and I'm way late, but if any international students have any questions about starting college, completing your applications, housing, classes or just living in the UK in general hit me up! No question is too dumb or stupid. You can ask me anything, even stuff you think that probably everyone knows the answer to, and I promise I'll try my best to answer it!
