the situation's a lot more nuanced than that

One of the most insidious things about antisemitism is that one of its functions is the idea that Jews are untrustworthy and shouldn't be listened to, so we end up fighting this uphill battle where it's impossible to actually educate anyone out of it because we're seen as unreliable narrators.

"When I, as part of my scholarly research, make a claim that a given practice or ideology or assertion is antisemitic, I do not expect my audience to give me unquestioning deference or blind acquiescence. I do expect that my audience will not assume I’m making a transparently bad faith argument to score cheap political points."

Have you ever looked at a 24 hour clock and gone "too straight forward!"? Ever looked at a 12 hour clock and thought "what if we divided it again?" WELL FEAR NOT, I am pioneering the 6 hour clock; featuring the classic times we all know and love like 3pm and 7am as well as all new times such as 6aam and 8ppm! The new clock layout that solves nothing and makes everything worse!

You better start getting comfortable with the idea of an extremely broad anti-fascist coalition that includes tons of people who you strongly disagree with, because buddy, you're in one

I'm sure everyone already pointed it out at the time (and it would work much better in gif format) but it does please me immensely that

1.Sand only jumps into the fray when Ray comes for Nick

(that's his boy!!!) and

2. how similar Ray's attitude is to how he behaved after waking up in Sand's flat, exactly 6 episodes ago (and ofc Sand shoves him away in pretty much the same manner... Ray already knew exacty how to get that reaction.)

idk thinking about how sometimes you have to show up for people you aren't that close to, because sometimes you're just the person who's there. sometimes you invite a new friend to a party and end up having to sit with them through a panic attack. sometimes you run into an acquaintance on their worst day and they need to talk about what happened. sometimes someone is crying in a stairwell and you're the only one around to ask if they're okay. and none of this is "trauma dumping" or whatever the fuck it's just being there for people because you're the one in the room with them.

My then-coworker was pregnant with her second child. One day she mentioned being terrified she'd go into labor at three in the morning and no one would be available to take care of her toddler while she went to the hospital.

"I know it's stupid," she said, "but I can't stop thinking about it."

"Call me if that happens, " I said, because we lived 15 minutes away from each other. "I'll run over and watch her until her grandparents get there."

And I didn't think too much of it at the time, but after my coworker came back from maternity leave she told me that this conversation, where some girl from work promised to give up a couple hours of sleep if her family had an emergency, was the reason she was able to sleep at night for the rest of the pregnancy.

What's interesting about this is that you didn't actually get called, and you didn't have to run anywhere at 3AM. You just had to be willing to if it happened.

So often, it's not even that you have to do anything; you just have to make it clear that if you would if it became necessary.

Kinnporsche & THK really work on the same principle of love conquers all but in the later it means that we can weather it all and try again, while in the former it's yet another reason the house always wins and you'll end up willingly locking yourself up in a golden cage for it. No one on team Kinnporsche had Style's reality-warping powers.
