I'm just a doofus, doopin' around. I reblog cute and/or funny things, other peeps' art, and, on occasion, my doodles and face.
I have an art blog and stuff.
So many of us deal with issues like a lack of motivation and procrastination, and for this video. I’ve taken procrastination to a new level, because I wasn’t even motivated to prepare for this video! My different traits attempt to solve the mystery as to where I went wrong… Hope you all enjoy!!
Hey my dudes, I need $20 by the end of the night and I’m opening up fast ink commissions that I’ll have done by tomorrow! What do I mean by fast? Here are two examples, $5 each, so 4 slots, anything! Help a girl out 🤞
Also PM me if interested!!
a few thoughts about trump’s failure to mention the jewish people in his statement on holocaust remembrance day:
antisemitic hate crimes have gone up from their already high rate since his election, including 48 bomb threats to jewish community centers all over the country in the past month, so this is a particularly urgent time to recognize the ongoing threat of antisemitism. trump declined to do so.
compare trump’s words to the empathy and specific details on present-day antisemitism offered by barack obama last year.
a ton of trump supporters hate jews. erasing jews from the statement sends the message that trump would rather appease his antisemitic base than reassure jews that he gives a shit about their safety. this is in line with his use of the well-known nazi appeasement slogan “america first” in his campaign and inauguration speech.
it obviously would have been hypocritical of trump to pretend any concern for jews anyway since antisemitic tropes were a hallmark of his campaign––nor could he unhypocritically mention any other groups targeted by the nazis; in addition to jews, nazis also slaughtered romani ppl, lgbt ppl, disabled ppl, and the left, and trump’s hatred and contempt for ethnic minorities, lgbt ppl, disabled ppl, and the left is well-known.
this is the same week trump is banning muslim refugees fleeing violence and war, threatening mass deportations, and ordering “the wall.” when nazis came to power in germany many jews tried to leave germany for america but jewish immigration was sharply restricted and most were not allowed in. for trump to acknowledge the suffering of the jewish people in his statement would have sharpened the horrible irony of pretending to promote the idea of “never again” while signing anti-immigrant, anti-refugee executive orders born of ethnic, racial, and religious animus.
so from trump’s pov it’s better to pretend that the holocaust was some vague bad thing that happened long ago rather than a specific and fairly recent atrocity made possible by the interaction of particular sadistic hatreds with general passivity and indifference. after all, it is also bigotry and callousness which has brought us the presidency of donald trump.
