Two thoughts 1/ There is nothing wrong with standing against anti-semitism.
I’m tired of the divisive rethoric saying standing for decency has to be a binary choice between standing for oppressed people *or* standing for other oppressed people. #NoSafeSpaceForJewHate
Second thought: I do think @Twitter@jack bans need to be more swift/effective when the rules are obviously broken
But it’s not the only way.
If local laws can make unlawful content banned, let’s also take the fight there.
Racism is unlawful in all its forms.
Let’s implement that
I’ll stop talking now. I’m not convinced self-deplatforming is the answer (more of a fan of loud solidarity) but just watching what’s happening in response to #NoSafeSpaceForJewHate is quite instructive -in a sickening way.
Time needed to think about it.

You don’t stand against evil because evil is directed at people you deem worth your support
You stand against evil because evil must be stopped, end of
Please stop saying Ukraine's skirt is too short and focus on stopping the agressor *that happens to be the issue here*
“But escalation”, you say?
(Sigh) #BreakingNews: Ukraine has no intention to invade Russia.
NATO has no intention to invade Russia.
The only thing “endangering Russia” is its shattered imperialist pride at being unable to crash a much smaller country.
Supporting that helps no one
Ukrainians ain’t stupid.
They have exactly 0 interest or will to attack Russian civilians.
They just want Russia out.
On the other hand, Putin blowing up more of his own (as he did to get an ironclad grip on power) to convince them to become canon fodder may be on the table.
Now not saying it’s going to happen but we do know Russia is fine with bombing Ukrainian churches, and the “war against Christianity” rhetoric has been planted already by Western assets like Kremlin Klaxon -er, I meant Tucker Carlson
As the Russian army has been severely hit lately -an info that the Kremlin couldn’t keep from the public-, such an operation to force holy mobilisation on uncooperative Russians while trying to propaganda the West into stopping (finally) useful weapons delivery would be Putinable
In any case it’s obvious this “truce” is nothing but a military operation, the only question being how the details of it.
If they wanted peace, they’d go home.
Imagine your reaction if, after your athlete wins the Olympics, the organising country tells you it cannot play your national anthem as it doesn't have it, and ask if the one from the neighbour country (that invaded and perpetrated genocide on you) is fine...
Watching this, I suddenly realised @komarnyckyj, do you know how I got Ukraine on the map?
Not in school, not in the news..
In Rythmic gymnastics
Катерина Серебрянська, Олена Вітриченко, all the ones who followed...
(And well that's how I got Belarus was a specific culture too)
I’m a mother of two (10 and 6), who experienced suicidal thoughts as a teenager (long story short, childhood abuse trauma -not that it’s a requirement)
Parents, have you ever discussed suicide with your kids?
Could be it’s not the worse thing, even when they are young (Cont)
I’m not advising to tell 6 year old about how some people take their own life
But telling them that sometimes they can feel like they are in a dead end, nothing is worth it, there’s too much pain -because they are tired, or really sad, and feel no one can understand them (Cont)
Telling them the people who love them want to be bothered if they feel that bad. That it’s ok, it will pass eventually, but it’s not how it feels on the moment -feelings can be really stupid
That they are never truly alone because you love them, always
It doesn’t hurt
