I know I was taking a little break to avoid all the stress of the Charlottesville rally being talked about on tumblr, but I also wanted to make sure all of my Jewish mutuals know how loved they are. I know this is scary and sometimes it feels like the only people looking out for us is ourselves, but know that you are not alone and have never been alone. We are one mishpacha, one family, and we will look after each other and keep each other safe like we always have. I love each and every one of you. Remember, the whole world is a very narrow bridge and the main thing is to have no fear at all.

Goyim, please reblog this instead of all the performative “punch a nazi” nonsense. Make your Jewish followers feel safe.

never enough support for jewish people in my left leaning spaces. a tumblr post doesn’t change what is happening but it is so comforting to see us being acknowledged, cared for, noticed. thanks for this 💜

The Brody Jewish Center, Hillel of the University of Virginia could definitely use donations in order to help those 1000+ students feel safe and supported when they move into their dorms next week.

Also, Congregation Beth Israel is the only synagogue in the entire county and though they don’t accept donations online, you can contact them online and inquire about donating. 

There’s also IMPACT CVille, which is an interfaith (Jewish, Muslim, Roman Catholic, Protestant, and Unitarian Universalist) direct action organization in the area which places an emphasis on building strong relationships that are spiritually, racially and economically diverse.

Oh, and the Jewish community of Charlottesville may be relatively small but it has a very long and rich history in the area (the first Jewish residents were actually there before Thomas Jefferson created Monticello or the University).

reblog and put in the tags the first song that comes into mind

So I’m taking this History of the 1960′s course and it just hit me that I’m the only black person in the class.

Class: *long awkward silence*
Me: “He became famous off of black music.”

Professor: “What state is Selma in?”
Class: *long awkward silence*

Professor: “What was one of the goals of the Civil Rights Movement?”

its not even a hundred years from WW2 where nazi ideology & white supremacy quite literally got millions of ppl systematically murdered, and some ppl still act like nazism is “just an opinion” and that “everyone’s entitled to an opinion” as if it was something akin to a favorite color or food preference instead of a violent, manipulative, dangerous propaganda

I hate it when people are so against teaching young white kids to recognize their racism. Like people will literally say shit like “oh they’re too young to be taught about racism, that’s harmful!” but like children of color are never too young to face racism from white people who were never taught to recognize their racism as children. Start teaching white kids (boys AND girls) to recognize their racism; the problem starts when they’re young.

Sr because the butthurt white people took over this post again.

Re blogging in light of this Charlottesville shit. Please teach your white kids to recognize racism so they don’t think this shit is okay or patriotism.

A note.

I see a lot of people posting herbal remedies.

Please, please include the cautions and contradictions with an herb when you recommend it.

Herbs are drugs. Some of them should not be used by pregnant or nursing women (kava kava comes to mind).

Valerian is not a substitute for narcotic sleep aids. Valerian is a narcotic sleep aid.

St. John’s wort messes up the action of oral contraceptives.

Marshmallow root should not be mixed with other medicines or taken at the same time as it can interfere with their action.

Catnip (used for sleep problems) can make already heavy menstrual periods worse.

Etc, etc, etc. Please remember you are recommending medicines and medicines can have effects other than the ones you want.
