Meanwhile everything is totally normal over on tiktok on a video my sister posted of my kid putting on tefillin.

Totally normal.
#jewish #jwitter #frumtwitter

He's 14. He has tiktok. And he doomscrolled through 2000 antisemitic comments before I even knew it was happening. We sat together and looked again so he could learn not to internalize it. Even laugh at it and mock antisemites. But it's too late. He's 14 and now he knows.

For all those concerned, he's eating potato leek soup, watching Smallville, and cracking jokes about antisemites. I've got a good kid and a good community here on twitter.

Lol my sister's response to the comments, which she has been blocking, btw:

And now it's my turn to respond the best way I know how: words. I am that writing Jew. That mom Jew. That baseball-bat swinging Bear Jew.
