Hey folks, a reminder, please dont use obscuring spellings of things (like using * in place of letters). Some of us have filters set up, and you doing that goes around our filters and block word list, putting stuff on our timelines WE DONT WANT TO SEE.

This week has been hard & listening to @earthtokb.bsky.social’s Pretty is *really* hitting in a particular way.

It is *very* important to understand that Jews were never the only target of the 1930s Nazis and they are not the only targets of today’s Nazis. A Nazi salute is not only antisemitic. It is also racist, ableist, and queerphobic.

This is such a great thread.
Let me add that there is nothing that you, an individual, can do, that will scale because you are one person. The people arguing that you should only do things that “scale” are justifying not doing anything.

The best lesson I ever taught myself is that you don't have to do what everyone else is doing for the holidays. Make simple food. Walk shelter dogs. Transform into a deer. Never be seen again 💗

One of my friends is an educator in an area where food insecurity is a huge problem and she made an Amazon wishlist looking for help with feeding some kids. There’s not a lot left that she’s asking for so if you can help her out that would be amazing honestly! bit.ly/TeacherPantry25
