I’ve got a cold and I’m not up for much except watching youtube videos and making friendship bracelets. So if anyone wants to come watch junk journal videos with me, or something else if consensus agrees, head over here.
As I’m the only one hanging out at movie night I’m going to head off for a walk and should be back in an hour or so. If anyone is interested in watching Red vs. Blue then I’ll restart everything, but until then: maybe another time?
July 1 at 4pm CST I’ll be running a watch party for seasons 1 and 2 of RoosterTeeth’s Red vs Blue. For those of you not familiar there is strong language and cartoon violence as well as a strong helping of hilarity. Anyone is welcome. Season 3 is 2 hours long, so unless people really want to watch it, season 3 and 4 will be part of the next watch party.
If enough people want me to, or if they can’t make it to the Saturday watch, I will do another watch party on the 4th of July. Hope to see you there!
Half an hour to go! The room is here for those of you without the address.
I’ll take this one since I’m the blog’s resident Jew. Oy vey, where do I start…
SJ community loves to police Jewish identity and silence actual Jews when they talk about their own identities. This usually happens in context of either “Are Jews White?” or “Jewishness is just a religion” conversations. In reality, Jews are an ethnoreligious group that ethnically originated in the middle east, and while some ethnic Jews have light skin, it’s actually due to centuries of forced assimilation in European and Slavic countries through rape, which is a big reason why Jewishness is matrilineal. Furthermore, there exist Jews who do not look white at all. There are black, brown, and asian Jews who are all ethnically Jewish, and these conversations erase them.
“Jewish privilege”. Fact: It’s not a thing. It’s actually a very common anti-semitic trope that says that Jews run everything so they are not oppressed. Jews are oppressed, and face anti-semitic violence.
“Anti-semitism is not just about Jews, there are other semitic people.” While yea, there are other semitic people, the term “anti-semitism” was created by Germans in the 19th century to refer specifically to the hatred of Jews because it sounded more scientific.
Blaming anti-semitic violence in Europe on the actions of Israel. I see this literally every single day on this site, and it’s very upsetting. Jews that live in the diaspora are not responsible for Israel’s actions, and especially should not be suffering at the hands of white people in Europe under the guise of anti-zionism.
Finally, and this is a big pet peeve of mine. The only people I ever see reblogging posts about anti-semitism are other Jews. Even a lot of my non-Jewish followers will reblog posts about racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. but ignore posts about anti-semitism, and that as a Jew makes me feel unsafe.
That’s enough for now. If you’re interested in learning more about Jewish identity and anti-semitism, you are welcome to check out my personal blog: yochevedke. I discuss that stuff a lot.

Another Jew reblogging about anti-semitism. I’ve seen some increase in concern about this from goyim, but it’s been slow going. Hopefully we’ll pick up a big head of steam soon.
This isn’t a dumb question at all! Wee Doctor TOS is the original series I’m making out of Wee Doctor in between getting a podcast network going and challenging bears to one on one combat. I can’t tell you when it would be out because that will depend on the revision process and finding a publisher. If I have to I’ll self-publish, but having done that before, its a bother.
It’s taking a little longer than I hoped because the plotpoints of Wee Doctor is so tied up in BBC Sherlock specifically that I can’t just poof modern Sherlock it without some major rewrites. So now there are monsters in Wee Doctor because I love monsters, and Sherlock’s name is Loughty now, but pretty much everything else is identical.
Thank you! That’s so kind of you. I do enjoy teaching, but its mostly a conferences and community education sort of thing. I don’t really have the patience for academia or thirty children crammed in a room with me and a chalkboard. I appreciate your kind message! It was delightful to find in my ask box!

one thing i hate in horror movies or games is whenever there’s a situation that’s like “we GOTTA get OUTTA this HOUSE” nobody ever picks up like, a lamp or a heavy book and just breaks a fucking window
like in RE7 for example, in order to get outside you gotta find three dog head statues and solve a stupid puzzle to unlock a door
but there’s like, windows everywhere
and ethan has a gun
just fucking shoot a window and go outside
or throw your gun at the window. guns are heavy, it’ll break the window.
