This blog stands against and rejects antisemitism in all of its insidious forms, stands with the Jewish people, and with the Jewish right to self determination in their ancestral homeland of Israel 🇮🇱 🎗

keep in mind that i'm using the words "(in)valid" and "(un)sound" here in their formal logic senses: a valid argument is one where the conclusion follows from the premises. a sound argument both is valid AND has evidence to support the truth of its premises. even if an argument is logically valid, it's not sound if you can't support the truth of the premises; and even if you have evidence for the premises, an invalid argument won't be sound either.

the reason it's so important to stay away from conspiratorial language is twofold:

• one, it's literally just not even useful because it's fundamentally bad logic,
• and two, if you don't fill in a specific value for the actor, someone else is very likely to fill one in for you, and that's one of the easiest ways to radicalize someone. if you're already primed to look for a target for your blame, all that a malicious actor has to do is aim you at their favorite target.

and to be crystal clear: being radicalized is BAD. antisemitism—because let's be honest, it always ends up turning into antisemitism sooner or later—is BAD. we do not want these things. they are the tools of very dangerous people whom we do not want to be like or be around. therefore we must avoid giving those tools and the people who use them a foothold in our discourse. conspiratorial language can very easily become such a foothold; therefore, we ought to steer clear of it.

the right answer is subjective but there IS a wrong answer

So I was doing some research on Navajo stories, and Coyote scattering the stars really inspired me - Roy reminds me of a coyote, so it feels right. 👍

Batfam afikoman hunt for a request! Happy Passover!

helena sandsmark/artemis of bana-mighdall yuri on the mind today lads... like im just saying, "a single mother who has been regularly remarked upon as beautiful but hiding from the world behind her books and glasses meets the strong but often angry warrior who has sworn to guard and train her child, and who is now staying in her home, and does not really know all that much about living in 'man's world' as they call it" could be a romcom.

- Bruce always broods about the last seders he had with his parents.

- Dick taught Damian to read Hebrew so he could read the four questions (See: Yet ANOTHER reason Tim felt like he was being replaced)

- Cass steals all the chocolate covered matzah for herself.

- Babs, Steph and the rest of the BatFam come over for one of the seders, while the other one is just for the Waynes.

- Cass doesn’t pay much attention during seders, finding it difficult to sit still for so long and not liking the idea of God being a mass murderer.

- Duke comes over to make freshly baked matzah with Alfred.

- While the search for the afikomen is usually just for children, Bruce uses it to test his kids’ detective skills. Jason is yet to ever win.

I love that when Cass was first learning how to speak the people she was closest to were Barbara “probably reads the dictionary for fun” Gordon, Batman, and a guy who talked like Papyrus Undertale
