Antisemitism Required Reading
I get a lot of ignorant comments & tags on my posts about antisemitism, and I’ve already spent way too much time & energy engaging with them. So to preserve my sanity, I’ve made the decision not to engage too deeply with any commenters who haven’t at least read all of these in their entirety:
“Jewish Space Lasers” by Mike Rothschild
“People Love Dead Jews” by Dara Horn
“Jews Don’t Count” by David Baddiel
"More Than a Century of Antisemitism", GEC Special Report
If you’re not Jewish, please read all of this literature before adding anything to my posts about antisemitism.
Jews, please add any books you think should be on the list!
#I'll be adding and updating this post as I find & vet anything I feel should be required reading#antisemitism#people love dead jews#jews don't count#jewish space lasers#required reading#reading list#dara horn#david baddiel#more than a century of antisemitism#mike rothschild#jewish history

Against the Law (1955) by Peter Wildeblood
Arrested on January 9, 1954 and charged in March with "conspiracy to incite certain male persons to commit serious offences with male persons" ( or buggery), Wildeblood admitted during the trial to being a homosexual and was sentenced to 18 months in prison. Published in 1955, Against the Law chronicles Wildebloods experiences with the British legal system, and brought to light the appalling conditions in HM Prison Wormwood Scrubs, and encouraged campaigns for prison reform and for reform of law regarding homosexuality.
Wildeblood was convicted in what is known as the Montagu Trial, in which he and several other men were convicted.

hey i don't know who needs to hear this but you should be unmounting your usb drives before you physically remove them!
unmounting basically flushes all read/write operations so that no data is actively being transferred when you physically take it out. NOT doing that is kind of like if someone was walking across a bridge, and then you cut the ropes. it's not likely, but if you take out the usb without unmounting it first, then there's a chance your data can get lost or corrupted.
the way i do it is from the taskbar on my windows machine. in the bottom right, look through the icons--you'll probably need to click the arrow to expand the hidden ones. click the one that looks like a usb stick and choose "eject [name of your drive]". it should take less than five seconds for it to notify you that it's safe to take out your usb.
an alternative way is if you open up the usb drive in your file manager, you can either:
on windows, go to the "manage" tab and click the "eject" button, which has an icon that looks like an upward-pointing triangle with a line under it.
on a mac, hover over the drive name and the eject icon will pop up (it looks the same as the one on windows). just click that and it'll eject.
so yeah. it's pretty easy and prevents your shit from being corrupted. do it 👍

1/100 days of productivity
Read two plays required for tomorrow's classes
Wrote down some notes for my presentation tomorrow
Cooked and took care of the dishes
Did laundry and took away the clean clothes
Tomorrow is going to be busy but I won't have therapy, so I'll have a big break in the middle of the day. I'll meet up with one of my classmates who's my partner for the presentation we'll give tomorrow afternoon and talk it over before class.

Ascension
And here they were thinking the Synchro Machine thing would be the weirdest thing to ever happen to them.
And could you blame them? Even in the Pokemon world, people didn't mind-link with their starter pokemon every day, much less break the device doing it and accidentally pull the pokemons mind into their trainer's leaving the 'mon a vegetable.
….Ahem-
Still, Jake and Reikka made the most of it. Now they could work with the rest of their team evermore closely! Nevermind the occasional urge to dribble something or say "Ace!" more often. Really, they could go on, but anyway back to what led them to being in separate* bodies again.
They may have poked around some old ruins and found a weird painting and next thing they knew they were falling from the sky in a Zorua's body, landing square on who they'd come to know as a sworn partner.
Many, MANY things happened between the system realizing they could shapeshift and them fighting an alien pokemon that could fuck with the DNA of other pokemon, but they have neither the time or energy to recall all that.
Mmmmostly because they're currently melting.
"G…hhhhhgph…" Long story short, DNA unstable enough to shapeshift is especially susceptible to being messed with. Beforehand, they had a sort of system in order. Jake would go adventuring and fighting as long as he could, until the stress got to him and they deferred to the more experienced Pokemon in their head.
Now they were both having trouble just staying solid and sane. They didn't know what was real anymore. Words and pictures and minds swam through their head, dissolving and shifting and changing and warping and HURTING. Oh so much HURTING.
Bits of memories swirled and screamed and shouted, all begging for attention and getting louder when they tried to focus on just one.
And yet…one word. One thing stood out in the fog. '..wi….wwwwwis….' A ccc crystal. Crystal…p prison? That… "hhhggkk…."
Is tha t…
that was…
That's w whhy…
th ey werrrrre h…ere ?
Something…ye llo? Poin

'w..w wi ?'

They touched it. And all at once they were broken
And fixed.
"Who are you?" Spoke their mind.
"What do you desire?" Came the reply.
The words came instantly.
"I…want strength. Strength to…protect. To SAVE. To HELP."
".......Granted."
They burned. They froze. Were poisoned, paralyzed, frostbitten, put to sleep and had their very mind consumed. They broke apart down to the atom and pulled themselves back together through sheer DEVOTION. And nothing could compare to the feeling of a shattering mind being shoved through itself back into its proper place.
It didn't make sense.
It didn't have to.
In the far distance, Cameron finally couldn't keep up, collapsing to a knee before the invader, powerless to stop it from getting its wish from the Millennium Star. It stood over him and laughed, binding his throat and lifting him up to stare into his defeated eyes before it ended him. And then, the sun fell, crushing the monster and dragging it across the planet, carving a canyon through the world.
It broke free, but that didn't matter. "We're far from any life here. You made sure of that yourself." All it could muster in the face of karmatic light was a roar. "Your existence. ends. NOW."
Flames, frigid and searing, erupted around them…And from there they were on FULL autopilot. All they can tell you from there is they killed it and woke up in Cameron's home.
"Ugh…"
The bed wasn't as comfortable as it used to be, considering their…HER ankles draped over the footboard now. "Honeys?? Or…honey?" Rei's head snapped up, and there he was. "CAMMY!!" She was quick to lunge and start snuggling(much to the cat's shock). The sudden movement jostled Jake out of the cockles of their brain. 'Huhwaiwah-?!'
Rei mentally imposed Jake in the snuggle. 'Morning, buddy~!'
'We're…We're alive?!'
She was gonna snark, but a pained moan beneath her instantly raised an alarm. "Oh no, wait, I'm so sorry, Ca-
…?!"
Oh she was NOT still an oversized Raboot. At least she kept her sweater, but…woah. "...Holy Solgaleo..!" Feeling had returned to them, and not having bones was weird. But forget the bones, her bloomin' skin was felt and fabric!
And it was…honestly nice??? She was wonderfully warm and dry, and…heavy. 'Don't check if you have boobs don't check if you have boobs don't check if you ha' Her hands moved before their brain could stop them. 'Nopenopenope, not yet-' Jake thankfully jerked them to a stop. 'not while Cam is here.'
"Um. You gonna get off of me, ReiRei?"
"Oh, shit, sorry-" She scrambled to scoot off of him. "So…What happened?" "Wait, you don't remember?" She shook her head, simultaneously becoming aware of her massive ears and hair swishing behind her. "Ooh, that's cool…But, no. Why, did anything cool happen?"
"Are you JOKING?! You pulled the sun out of the sky!" Oh hell yeah. "Uh…Woah."
'...Can that wait? Head's starting to hurt again…xC' "Right, that can wait. Cuz, um." Both pairs of eyes drifted downwards, and cheeks flushed. "Yeah-"
Awkward silence swiftly followed.
"...Can I see how Jake's doing?"
"Yeah, sure-!!" Said Rei, a tad too enthusiastically. 'You ready?' She offered the metaphysical wheel. '...a-as I'll ever be.' They were already going through the motions of shifting forms to suit them. Except…they…weren't changing?
"...Uh?"
"Hello?"
"Are we changing at all?"
Did the wish have a bad side effect…?!
"You're…glowing, kind of."
"I…feel like we should be shifting, but we're not."
An idea occurred to Cameron. "Give me your paw." "What?" "I'm going to pull." "WHAT?!" "Please, just trust me on this-"
Cocking a brow, they complied as he stood up.
"Three…Two…Now!" He pulled, and nothing happened as far as any of them could tell. "...?" "Can you…try to shift again?" They complied for a moment, but the shock of another paw emerging from Rei's made them stop. "Keep going!" Cameron called, not letting go of the new paw. With a little trepidation, they continued.
"...Holy shit you're bi-generating."
"Bi-WHAT now?" Spoke two voices, and the heads they belonged to snapped to look at each other and scream. "WHAT THE FUCK?!" "Bi-generation. It's…a Doctor Who thing!" Cameron grunted, seeing as the resistance increased. "Well, kind of-
It's just the glow reminded me of it, I didn't expect it to work so-" Out popped a humanoid shape with a Zorua face, "wELL-?!" and tumbled to the floor.
"Ow…" It wasn't a perfect separation like in the show, there was still a strand of goop stretching from Jake's tail to Rei's arm, and…wait, no, her…elbow? Shoulder?? "...So it can move? Fascinating…" She murmured, brushing along her arm while the boys regained their bearings again.
'...Oh goodness I'm pinning him down-'
"Oh, I can still hear your thoughts!" Thankful for that derailment, Jake turned to his former headmate and was…honestly, stunned.
"...What's that look for?"
'You look like mom.'
"Like…" His mom was the one she idolized most. The one who made things so simple whenever they met. The one who welcomed Rei with open arms when she got stuck in Jake's head. The one who made them feel safe. The one who stayed strong no matter what. "...Mum."
She rose from her kneeling position. Anyone else would be intimidated, but Jake was…comforted. A warmth permeated the room as she lumbered forward and crouched down. "...I guess I really am your guardian angel now, huh?" She spread her arms.
They lunged into them, eyes wet.

the anon here that had something to say about jerri having a baby. first off jerri is always on the run from the cops, she is a “pimp” and doesn’t know how to embrace change. jerri’s mindset is still in correlation with her upbringing ie, constantly calling indya a bitch or a hoe when indya has moved passed her ways. how bout the thought of her calling her own child those names. jerri was scared of indya change because she didn’t want to lose the indya that she used to know. just because she “protected” her sister doesn’t make her valid enough to be a parent. example one the cops just popping up and taking the baby. has jerri been able to spend any real time wit her nieces and nephew ? that answer would be no. not to mention that she fraudulently hooked bishop up wit mercy ! mercy ain’t one of her hoes and she set her up for failure without even knowing it. suppose mercy got killed then what ??? she is not capable of having a child ! is she gonna teach that child to be a pimp or to get her money too ? not to mention she robbed her own brother in law !!!!..................the ghetto! i mean so yea I want all the smoke!
Oh nonny! There you are! I'm so glad you came back AND with an explanation of how you're viewing this here situation. Good thing you just didn't leave it at "that's ghetto", for obvious reasons.
You know how we do, let's get into it!
"first off jerri is always on the run from the cops, she is a “pimp” and doesn’t know how to embrace change"
Jerri grew up in the same environment her sister did; the streets, on the strip with pimps and hoes, boo. I would argue that Jerri learned the hard way to embrace change whether that was good change (released from prison) or bad change (not accepting her sister's new life).
"jerri’s mindset is still in correlation with her upbringing ie, constantly calling indya a bitch or a hoe when indya has moved passed her ways. how bout the thought of her calling her own child those names"
Come on son, Indya called ME a hoe when she woke up with wrinkles on her face. For both Indya and her sister this is a classic case of taking the sim out of the streets but not taking the street out the sim. Same goes for Darren. So where is this smoke for Indya and Darren?Calling each other bitches and hoes isn't the horrible behavior you think it is for Jerri and Indya. In most cases they are terms of endearment for them. Its just how they talk to each other. You absolutely will not understand that if you don't have some basic concept of street knowledge or lived experience (and I'm about to eat so i can't run it down for you friend).
Also, Indya will call the mail lady a bitch if needed but have you ever heard her call one of her daughters that? Even when she snatched Hope up by the elbow, she never once called her out of her name. Jerri wouldn't either, these are kids. One rule of the streets is let kids keep their innocence (operating opposite will get you killed).
"jerri was scared of indya change because she didn’t want to lose the indya that she used to know"
No, nonny, I wrote this part so let me eat right quick: She was afraid of losing Indya PERIOD. As in, losing her sister to a man (lots of patriarchal trauma in this story). Indya is all she has aside from mom and she hadn't quite embraced Darren so yeah she was scared. But not for the reason you think.
"just because she “protected” her sister doesn’t make her valid enough to be a parent."
What makes a person valid enough to be a parent?
"example one the cops just popping up and taking the baby"
Bro... I literally gave links to explain why Child Protection (an arm of the police) targets Black/LGBTQ+ families. Not saying Jerri is some upstanding citizen, but she's going to be a target for reasons Michelle Alexander so eloquently stated in The New Jim Crow. A book a I very highly recommend.
"has jerri been able to spend any real time wit her nieces and nephew?"
Define "real time".
"she fraudulently hooked bishop up wit mercy ! mercy ain’t one of her hoes and she set her up for failure without even knowing it. suppose mercy got killed then what ???"
Jerri created a singles profile for Bishop ( she was paid handsomely to do it), thought Mercy was a nice match, made the connection and dipped. Its business, never personal. Jerri doesn't just operate street shit, she has expanded her portfolio. Basically I am writing about someone who sells sex no matter what the medium. Because one thing adults are gonna do? Adults are gonna fuck. Its the oldest profession in the world friend.
"is she gonna teach that child to be a pimp or to get her money too?"
I can't tell if you're being facetious but.. of course not, on the pimp part. On the "get her money" part? No doubt. All young women should find the means to be financially stable without assistance. We stan an independent woman who got her own.
Always stay gracious, best revenge is yo paper.
(I realize "whew chile, the ghetto" is popular slang, however the way you used it earlier insinuated that hood folk shouldn't be parents and this post is still giving that energy. I don't think its a fair assumption to say hood folk shouldn't be parents. in fact, it gives Ron DeSantis energy and thats not a good look nonny)
