If they’re going to be here and we have to tolerate their presence, i’m perfectly fine if they plop down in some park and don’t do anything. That’s my preference.

That said, the presence is the whole point.

But NOBODY was going to stand with the hostages but us. The White trust fund left was committed to erasing their existence. We were given no choice. If we didn't advocate, nobody would. And they deserve to be advocated for. Not erased.

So TY.

We care deeply about Palestinian suffering in Gaza (apparently more than the "Free Palestine" crowd who are despondent that kids are smiling and eating).

It's devastating and apocalyptic. Soul crushing.

We got A LOT of shit for standing with and centering the hostages. "HOW DARE YOU CARE ABOUT 250 PEOPLE WHEN THOUSANDS OF KIDS ARE BEING GENOCIDED!!!!"

And people still don't get it

I want to say THANK YOU.

It's been very rare for non-Jewish leftists (or anyone) to stand with us. It takes courage not to capitulate to the mob, knowing there will likely be social consequences.
I got bullied out of a fandom I was in for being "Zionist." I'm not Jewish and generally don't feel like I'm super entitled to an opinion other than to say I don't wish for anyone to be hurt or killed. I feel like it's become a generalized leftist slur for anyone who doesn't lock step with them 100%
I assume she has her own "crew" that look out for each other?

I tour too plus a bunch of other middle aged dudes, many of whom are girl dads and ready to behead anyone that fucks with women. If your daughter ever wants an intro, just so we're aware of her and she knows we have her back - PM me.
spring 2024 - coincident to the encampments, the "Free Palestine" movement morphed into an omni-cause that had less and less to do with Palestine

Then the purity tests came, the conversation stoppers, social consquences to deviating from script, the full-throated support of the "resistance", etc
So tragic and vile. I wasn't at the show, but I recall learning the news the next day.
Mood/Anxiety Level > Ambition/Clarity
That's how I operate. Not for everyone

(you already know this) but If you wanna go off something, try to titrate versus rawdogging it. There are withdrawal symptoms that run from mild to severe and can easily be mistaken for depression, etc returning.

These photos are so good.
I love zooming in as much as possible to just study every little detail. 😍

10 years ago I was friends with a very vocal intersectional feminist with a big online presence (FB). She told me the only topics she wouldn't allow to be discussed on her timeline were Israel and AA. That they are way too polarizing and always resulted in mudslinging and chaos. She was right.
This jackass goes to PHISH shows. He was at Hampton.

Are you comfortable being around someone who avidly supports a medieval death cult that wants to eliminate all Jews from earth? Imagine if you wear a jewish star or yarmulke? This dude could snap.

His timeline is even worse than you think.

Torba is a great example of someone who was a pariah a few years ago, getting mainstreamed. And if anything his views have become even more vile.

Bsky hasn't been as promising as I had hoped. A little too leftist for me, and the bullying is out of control. But no platform is going to be perfect
GOOSE JOTY Prediction

which jam will win JOTY? Not your personal choice necessarily. You're just predicting the winner.

I'm clueless. I need to relisten but Bend Thatch is my call right now. Goosers are absolutely obsessed with Thatch and Bend, OR has some cachet versus say Saltaire or Phoenix

Goose JOTY update! (the I'm ready to get hurt again edition)
Moved a couple things around but my attendance bias stands.

Please keep in mind, this is what *I* like and will not corelate well, esp with people who like "dark jams". You do you, but i'm not playing along.
