My Eyestrain headache who just wants me to got to bed already: Seconded.
Me: Alrighty then.
My unfortunate readers: Did… Did a fucking alien write this? A child Locked in a closet to avoid any familiarty with letters or reading? An Illiterate caveman exposed to english via badly subtitled anime? Whomst?
My partner’s teeth have been in constant and steadily worsening pain for over a year. We’re both disabled and living in poverty, so there’s no way we can save up for this on our own. Any donations, however little, and any reblogs will be deeply appreciated!
The site was displaying this message just now:
Not sure if you were already aware of the issue, but thought I should say something just in case.
*It’s customary in Judaism to make donations in multiples of 18 as to bless the recipient(s) with good health and long life (the numerical value of the Hebrew word “chai” which means “life”), but by all means, just give what you can.
i dont get it… the money wont bring anyone back??? why do we need to donate exactly???
Gee, I don’t know, maybe they need funds to help clean up the blood, broken glass, and bullet holes. Maybe they’d like some money to bring in psychiatric professionals for their congregants. Maybe they want to start a fund in the names of the victims or provide for their families. WTF.
Not to mention the people who were injured and are going to be racking up medical expenses on top of everything else.
No, money won’t bring back the lives that were lost. But it will help make the lives of those left behind a tiny bit less horrible.
hey, in the wake of Squirrel Hill please remember that this isn’t just about gun control, but about antisemitism as well. gun control is important, but it’s not the reason this tragedy has happened. antisemitism has been on the rise in the united states for years, and no amount of gun control debate will stop that. take an active part in combating antisemitism when you see it, both in yourself and in others. keep an eye open, please, to prevent this from ever happening again
My mother called me to say “so, it’s starting again”.
My partner has expressed the fear that no one wants us to remain alive.
If you use this to talk about gun control and don’t address the fact that it is a manifestation of hatred and racism being spurred by open violent racists, then you are missing the point.
Yup. Trump made it a convo about gun control lest he have to denounce white supremacy, but that’s not what this is about. My synagogue has security officers; they are not armed. I’ve been to synagogues that did have armed security. We all know that it wouldn’t have mattered; people would still be dead, by people who want to kill Jews.
Don’t let Trump derail the conversation. Almost two years ago I started making plans and preparatory arrangements to get my six nieces and nephews – all of whom have one Jewish parent, and three of whom might not be allowed to emigrate to Israel because of patrimony bullshit – out of the country if necessary. That is the sort of conversation (white goyische) people need to be paying attention to.
