!Introductory Post!

Hi, I’m Zev.

I’m a Persian-Jewish, far left, enby, ex vet tech and current desk job lackey. My interests mainly revolve around art, but especially music and writing, with a splash of illustration for comics and tattoos.

(I’m also writing a book.)

Peace ✌️

why do we always forget about racism when it's against asians. anyway here's your reminder that "proship" and "anti" were born from anti japan racism.

Sums it up nicely. Every time I see some "proship dni" in someone's bio I sigh heavily because most the time it doesn't mean anything at all.

The fact that my recent thread is going to make some activists upset because it goes against their idea of good and evil presenting in a specific way makes me mad. Being an activist also means acknowledging uncomfortable truths. If I can do that with Zionism y’all can do it with antisemitism too.

Again, this is NOT A JUSTIFICATION. I AM NOT A ZIONIST (the fact that I even need to yell this bothers me). However, don’t spew antisemitic rhetoric and dumb down the multi-faceted roots of this situation by doing the work to assimilate Jews into whiteness FOR the Nazis. That’s what they want.

Zev Maximus @zevmaximus.bsky.social · 17h

Global historic and present antisemitism are a factor in why today’s genocide is happening. I am not saying it is a justification AT ALL, but the truth is that post WW2, people did not want to take in Jewish refugees due to prejudice. The world failed to come together meaningfully to protect us.

I’m not denying that there are colonialist Jewish individuals out there, some of whom may be “white” for lack of a better term, but it is grossly misinformed to take the above stance.

Zev Maximus @zevmaximus.bsky.social · 17h

We are a diasporic people with roots in the levant. Many of us experience conditional white privilege and many of us do not. The long standing conflict in Gaza that Israel has perpetuated cannot just be simplified down to “evil European colonizer Jews did this.”

Jews are not ethnically European. I am seeing a lot of sentiment about this in relation to what is happening in Palestine and it’s simply not true. You can call out the genocide without whitewashing us.

Shout-out to all the disabled therians who can't get out in nature as much as you wish you could. Human shelters and medicine keep us safe, but we yearn for the forests and fields. Even a tiny walk feels like pushing our limits, but it's worth it to smell fresh air.

One character, two fits. In DND, Brooke and the rest of the party have been invited to a special banquet to honor their heroic actions. Which one suits her better?

Happy to see Digimon Story Time Stranger doing so well! I’ve barely had a chance to play it, but I’m hoping for that to change this week.

Heres a repost of my Machinedramon art in celebration!

an extraordinary person with an extraordinary legacy who nevertheless didn’t take herself too seriously

when Gary Larson published this cartoon, she was in Africa and her institute was horribly offended and drafted a complaint

the whole thing was defused when she returned - she found it funny

Being proud, not just of who you are, but the fact they hate us and we don’t fit into their hollow world view, is more important than ever. My mantra in these trying times has come from Rick and Morty of all places.

“Every breath I take without your permission raises my self-esteem.”
