the BEST part of mamma mia (2008) one of the greatest movies ever made:

the (purposeful?) lack of effort put into the flashbacks, just straight up putting a wig on 47 year old colin firth, 55 year old pierce brosnan, and 56 year old stellan skarsgard and saying they’re all like 20 (TWENTY) is a level of iconic very few movies possess

sometimes I’m like “my therapist doesn’t really tell me anything I don’t already know” but then I remember that I used to eat scrambled eggs every single morning because I hated them but I hated them less than I hate all other breakfast food on weekdays (don’t @ me waffles are a weekend food and they Do Not start me on a productive path) and my therapist said, “why not eat a lunch food?”

and I said, “explain”

and she said, “you know you’re allowed to eat whatever food you want in the morning. you are not bound by law to the traditional american breakfast.”

my father’s insurance pays a hundred dollars an hour for a woman to give me permission to eat a pb&j at six in the morning

Before Princess and the Frog, Disney already had a legit African princess that was strong and independent, but she wasn’t counted because she’s a lion.

I mean Tiana is a frog for most of the movie, I'm still waiting for a black Disney princess that gets to stay human for a whole feature-length film...

hey @ goyim could y'all reblog this if you're actually willing to listen to Jewish people and protect us?

we really need allies right now, and I know seeing this on people’s blogs could be comforting to other Jewish people.

why should we when you just called every non jew a derogatory term

“Hey so we know that people literally want you dead but u hurt my feelings so :(((”

not to mention liky ‘goy’ is literally just the way we refer to a non-jew just like ‘cis’ is the word for a non-trans person

if you looked down literally two centimeters in google search you would have seen the beginning of this page

and of this page

but i guess our lives are worthless to you because we called you a debatable-at-best word we use all the time for non-jews so we don’t have to keep saying “non-jews” all the g-ddamn time

^^ yeah p much lmao

This goy loves his Jewish friends

“Their word for us is secretly an insult” is such a tired old racist rumour, brought to you by the type of dipshit who gets angry when they hear people speaking another language in public because they assume the speakers are saying something bad about them.

Personally, I don’t like the word Goy.

Not because it feels insulting, but because it define me depending on what I am not instead of what I am.

Cis does not mean “not trans”, it means “who identify with it’s gender of birth”.

Goy means “not jew”

To be called as such makes me feel uncomfortable, as if I was lacking something instead of being different but valid.

Well, first of all, it actually means "Nation” in biblical Hebrew (for example, the song “Lo yisa goy el goy cherev v'yilmadu od milchama" means “Nation shall not lift up sword against nation”). Hence, when we use the words, we are literally calling you “The people of the other nations” (as Judaism centres around peoplehood in a tribal sense). So, what you have an issue with is being called “a person who belongs to another Nation, rather than of Am Yisrael,” which…is exactly what you are? You do belong to another Nation/Tribe/Identity?

Secondly, lots of groups have words for people who aren’t of their ethnicity? Gadje, Haole, Pākehā, Padakoot, Gaijin, etc. It’s pretty common for groups of small people, especially in a tribal sense, to differentiate from themselves and the greater world—especially when they’re a vulnerable population, which brings me to my last point…

Our right as a persecuted people to describe our experiences as such entirely outweigh your discomfort with being called “not Jewish.” Your bio says your French. Mazel tov, you come from a country that has a long and storied history of ant-Semitism, and you have no fucking right to police how we relate to the persecution you inflicted on us. If you hadn’t segregated and oppressed for 2,000 years, maybe we wouldn’t have such a strong sense of otherness now, but you did, so I guess we’ll never know. Grow up and deal with it.

tbh when someone is uncomfortable with having a Term for someone of their particular grouping bc it makes them feel like an out-group most of the time its because they’d prefer if they were the unmarked norm. Its true you can call someone you know is of a particular religion by that religions name but when you’re referring to [group] and [everyone who isn’t group] you do. kinda have to refer to the [everyone who isn’t group] by their lack of being in that group. Thats like. the basics of talking about things. Its not a negative identifier, its a contrastive identifier. It’s like if you were talking about how cats compared to other animals who are not cats, and someone wanted you to refer to animals who aren’t cats by their positive identifiers rather than in contrast to being cats, because they felt ‘not a cat’ was insulting. So you’d have to list each animal. “cats purr and have pointy ears, whereas dogs, horses, mice, pigs, fish, whales, worms, [etc]” seems a lot more unwieldy than “cats knock things off of tables, whereas other animals are capable of restraining their smugness” and language works by having words for concepts. so like. having a word for it doesn’t make it insulting or define a person any other way than language would already do.
