Sometimes people need a little less "You can do it! Don't give up!" and a little more "No matter what happens, I'll be right behind you and you will create meaning and beauty in the circumstances you find, as you always have."

After reflecting on it a bit, I realized that my (and other white Jews') gut discomfort with comparing Netanyahu to Hitler isn't about technicalities or antisemitism, but is rooted in white supremacy. The Holocaust was terrible, but in most ways it wasn't unique. ๐Ÿงต

Because if we step back from the mythology of Holocaust uniqueness, we can see that it's not about numbers. It's about ideology, history, culture, fascism, colonialism/imperialism, capitalism. We owe it to history, to each other, and to Palestine to act accordingly. (15/15)

Instead, Hitler is made into this persona of evil and the Holocaust is made into this one-off historical event. It's now somewhere between a rhetorical device and a cultural touchstone. And in this way, anyone who makes a comparison to Hitler is seen as antisemitic. (8/x)

Yes, I'm autistic so small talk is not my strong suit and social interactions can be tricky and overwhelming, but that doesn't mean that I don't want them. There is a nourishing factor in mutual and respectful exchanges with others. (2/x)

@helenaddy I think you're confused the path is "do no harm unless you really would rather do it"

@elendraug @ChrisAlvino @SpatialEnigmas Less than 3% of shell eggs in the U.S. are pasteurized, and they'll be marked by a blue or red p printed on the shell. It's near impossible to properly pasteurize eggs at home without cooking them fully. (2/x)

So thank you to all my mutuals, for seeing me and reading my thoughts and sharing yours. Y'all make my world a little wider and affirm my existence and worth as a person. We should all have that. (4/4)

This discussion is not a waste of time if it's done right. Where are we going with COVID safety? Are we working for a world of community care, or a world of compromised semi-protection? Are we trying to "get back to normal" and "live our lives", or are we asking for better? (1/2)

It allows the affirmation of your existence and (depending on the circumstances) can remind you that people are generally good and trying their best. Generally we are social creatures and being isolated hurts. (3/x)

@KlittEartha I don't really have the spoons to engage at all, but this comes across as eugenics kinda stuff and it's worth reassessing

The red flags often mentioned may not apply/may be different. If they don't have friends, is it because they've been isolated/oppressed, or is it because they want to just have you and nobody else? (2/x)

Confession: sometimes I get really jealous of other disabled people. When they can get married. When they can work jobs. When they live in wheelchair accessible places. When their low-spoon activities are, like, The Thing I Do That Day.

Having money affords you wiggle room, spontaneity, and room for mistakes. Take-out, late fees, special treats, hiring help, etc. etc. etc. If you have this kind of monetary flexibility, keep in mind that others don't, and give what you can so they can have it.

If they don't seek out therapy or medical care, is it because of trauma or other barriers to care, or is it because they are avoiding caring for themself or using you as a therapist? (3/x)

Is your relationship unhealthy, are they unable to be in a healthy relationship, or is your relationship/partner just devalued in society? Are they failing to give you material support, or are they just poor? (7/x)

Not having a job, living with their parents, not having a formal education, struggling with mental health, being lonely, or being up front with trauma are not automatic red flags. Context is important. (6/x)

Hey guess what oat milk does not fulfill the nutritional role of dairy milk and some people fucking rely on that I'm glad if you don't, but if I hear one more person pushing non-dairy milks I'm going to scream

The most gainfully employed I've ever been has been as a legal assistant, but that made my health worse and I ended up also being able to work only 10 hours a week. I made so little that I got a significant income raise from getting on SSI (which pays about 950 a month). (2/x)
