Favorite thing about renaissance faires is that they have fuck all to to with the renaissance. This thang is not about historical anything this is about dressing up like a fairy and watching a joust
It's not THE renaissance, it's A renaissance. Of what? Up to you
no idea where i was going with this but i abandoned it at the most disconcerting moment possible
I like using brand names as generic terms, because they can lose their trademark and thus their power and brand recognition through genericization. Examples of former trademarks that have now been genericized include Aspirin, Trampoline, and Escalator. Examples of current trademarks at risk of genericization include Bandaid, Photoshop, and Frisbee. If we work together, we can take them down. List of brands we've conquered. You can help by expanding this list.
google is also facing this so as long as you keep saying "i googled it", or "google it" etc., they could lose their trademark and I think that's beautiful.
That's what happened to meat
Russia, 1881: We’re gonna kill any Jew that doesn’t flee Russia. We’re restricting Jewish emigration to Europe, but permitting emigration to the Middle East.
Germany, Austria, Italy, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Finland, Slovakia, Croatia, France, and others, 1933-1945: We’re gonna kill every Jew in Europe. Flee to the US or Palestine, or die trying.
The US, 1927-1952: Yeah sorry we’re restricting Jewish immigrants to like. 300 people per country. So good luck getting in. We recommend that Jews go to Palestine instead. Btw we are looking to take in Nazi scientists if you know any
Egypt, 1947-1950: We’re rounding up all our Jews and deporting them to Israel
Iraq, 1951-1952: We’re rounding up all our Jews and deporting them to Israel
Algeria, 1962-1965: We’re pressuring and intimidating Jews in the hopes that they’ll all leave the country and go to Israel
Egypt, 1956: We’re rounding up all our Jews and deporting them to Israel (again)
Egypt and Libya, 1967: We’re rounding up, torturing, and killing all our Jews. The ones that survive can flee to Israel
Poland, 1968: The Jews in our country are already loyal to Israel. They will face dire consequences if they don’t leave our country and go to Israel
Ethiopia, 1974-1985: We’re going to marginalize and eventually try to kill all our Jews, and the only way they can escape is by being airlifted out of the country by Israeli helicopters
The US, 2023: Why can’t the Israeli Jews just go back to where they came from? Don’t they all have dual citizenship or whatever?
While I understand the point op is trying to make, it's reductionary to frame the crisis as "people think Jews shouldn't be in Palestine." The issue isn't the Jewish population. The issue is the actions of the Israeli government against non-jewish inhabitants. Peaceful and cooperative cohabitation is not something Palestinians have rejected, but by the settler colonial state of Israel.
Antisemitism doesn't cancel out racism and Islamaphobia and ethnic cleansing.
If that’s your sincerely held belief, then I mostly agree with you. First of all, Palestinians have absolutely rejected peaceful and cooperative cohabitation with Jews dozens of times. But that’s not an incredibly relevant point.
The relevant point is that you and I agree that Jews and Arabs should be able to mutually and peacefully coexist on our shared native land. So this post isn’t directed to you, and it isn’t about you, but it is about the behavior of your community. Every single day, at every single event in the West, there’s a new call to displace us from our ancestral land. Gas the Jews. Palestine will be Arab. Death to Israel. At Columbia University alone over the last few days we’ve heard “Go back to Poland,” calls for October 7 to happen every day until there are no Jews left in Israel, and calls for Hamas to burn Tel Aviv to the ground.
This post is a reaction to that behavior specifically. Millions of people in the West do think that Jews shouldn’t be in Palestine whatsoever. They want us all to “go back to where we came from”. They conveniently forget that we came from Israel in the first place. They ignore that we were never safe in Europe or other MENA countries. They do this constantly, on a daily basis.
Even if that’s not what you do and if that’s not what you believe? Ask around. Talk to your friends. You’ll find that hating Israelis and wanting to destroy Israel is quickly replacing care for Palestinians as the core of this movement. And that’s not safe for Jews.
Also I have literally never ever heard “settler colonialist state of Israel” not be followed by anti-semitism if you listen a little longer (often without the speaker realizing that’s what they’re doing).
I also disagree with Israel’s inhumane, abhorrent, and unjustifiable approach. I don’t understand why the conflict has to be framed within Hamas’ “indigenous vs. colonizer” terms for us to agree that Palestinians deserve safety immediately and forever.

the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy's way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn't expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.
btw this is maybe the single most key distinguishing feature of the terfy strains of radical feminism, the seed all the rest of it springs out of: they have absolutely no faith in the ability of feminism to actually destroy patriarchy. they do not think feminism can truly build a better world. they cannot really even imagine that possibility. they think patriarchy is an inevitable natural consequence of unchangeable biological facts, and therefore the goal of feminism can only be to mitigate the worst effects of patriarchy, not to get rid of it.
they can imagine a society where women get some designated safe spaces without men around. they cannot imagine a society where the presence of men is not inherently a danger to women.
It's also a way of threatening women, honestly. It says "you're only safe as long as you stay in your lane". It tells girls there's spaces in society they'll never have access to, and that they need to accept that.
It's a fine line between 'don't go in bathrooms that have men in them' and 'don't invade traditionally men's spaces'.
If a woman can't be safe in a locker room with men in it, how will she ever feel safe in sports that are traditionally masculine, or trades shops, or hanging out with guy friends?
This, for anyone who doesn't know, is how fundie christian communities work. People won't send their daughters to youth group if there's too few girls there. You're not allowed to hang out with guys unless you have a chaperone. It means girls are less likely to have access to a social circle, mentors, or resources.
And it's incredibly difficult for women raised in that environment to feel safe anywhere in society. I'll never forget my friend telling me about her first semester of highschool after being homeschooled, and how she'd sit alone, staring at the floor on every bus ride, because she'd been taught boys were dangerous and terrible things would happen if she interacted with them when her parents weren't around.
If all men are too dangerous (in your mind) to share public spaces with, the world closes in around you, and it becomes nearly impossible to feel safe anywhere.
Which, of course, is what most of the people promoting these ideas want.
Same system of messaging that tells women not to walk alone, or go out at night or to use their car keys as a 'self-deface' tool. Women are held responsible for 'keeping themselves safe' in public spaces.
This constant barrage of messaging, which many women WHOLLY embrace.. [viral posts about tips for getting out of ropes and restraints?!?] all reinforces women's social inequity.
The Missing White Woman Syndrome is a part of a larger set of racist messages about White Women's fragility and vulnerabilities.

i do not at all mean this in a perjorative manner, but i do think it’s important to be able to consume a piece of media and go, “i’m not the audience for this” and be able to just walk away
there doesn’t have to be something wrong or “problematic” about something for a person to not like it. personal taste is personal taste. but something not doing it for you doesn’t mean it automatically has to be wrong or bad. it’s just not for you.
There’s been several times when I’ve watched a thing and been like, they clearly did what they intended to do, and did it well, and I don’t want any part of it. This is a high quality and deeply unpleasant piece of art.
“This is a high quality and deeply unpleasant piece of art” is a wonderful line, I love it, I feel it in my soul
