I hate how often someone suddenly changes how they act towards me the second they find out I'm autistic. I'm still the same person you were talking to before you found out!
no offense but you guys need to learn the difference between someone implying their experience is universal and a post simply just not being about you
Boy, I sure do love when random people with no apparent humanities training condescendingly tell me I’m misunderstanding the very basics of a legal-philosophical concept I teach and publish on.
i used to wonder—why do people feel the need to pit horrific suffering against horrific suffering? and then i realized that deep down, they feel that the issue they have chosen to align with is only worthy of care if it’s objectively the Worst Thing Ever. if it isn’t, then it isn’t worthy of care. so they have to downplay and diminish other examples of suffering, or the whole thing falls apart.
//icb i have to make a psa but if you’re not jewish and you’re seeing posts about yom hashoah, holocaust remembrance day, and you start to froth about ‘but not only jews died–’. stop. nobody is saying only jews were targeted. there’s a separate day–international holocaust remembrance day–for *all* victims of the shoah. today, however, is specifically for jews to process our grief, trauma, history. so maybe let us do that.
nonjews feel free to reblog.
This is the single funniest thing I've read in my fucking life
Alright kids we've won 2024 everyone can just go home.

A Holiday Greetings Flowchart
How do I handle holiday greetings as a Jew? Here’s the order of operations:
- If you say “happy holidays” to me and I don’t know you or what you celebrate, then I say “happy holidays” to you and return.
- If I know you’re Jewish, I say “happy Chanukah.”
- If you wish me “Merry Christmas” and you don’t know I’m Jewish, then I say “happy holidays.”
- If you wish me “Merry Christmas” and you do know I’m Jewish, or if you say “merry Christmas” in any way that suggests that doing so is your way of striking back against PC liberal elites, then I say “happy Chanukah.”
- Finally, if I know you celebrate Christmas but you nonetheless wish me “happy Chanukah” because you know that’s what I celebrate, then I will wish you a “merry Christmas” in return as that’s what you celebrate.
Feel free to use this in your own interactions.
And from me to you: happy holidays to all, happy Chanukah for those for whom it applies, and merry Christmas to those who’ve earned it!
