This may be sacrilege on Chanukah but:

Leonard Cohen's original Hallelujah or Jeff Buckley's?
It's fun to think about how much we may enjoy something coming straight from the creator of it, with all that immeasurable weight of story. Real or imagined. And also knowing someone can love something someone else created more than anyone, and maybe it shows with Buckley.

I’m a slow learner, and a lot of you got here a long time ago, but I can no longer think of anything more essential to our communities (short term) surviving and (long term) changing everything than building or joining a mutual aid network.
It’s always been important in my mind, and informal ones have been around my entire life, but I always defaulted to viewing them as a band aids, or elements in a large effort, something to hold us over before achieving top down legislative power to change our world.
If you care about building actual long term power that no one can take away from a judge’s chambers, an executive order or even a right wing paramilitary, the long term relationships you build by being there for even short term needs will be an evergreen foundation for everything

I always regret clicking Holocaust when it's trending. And I regret it again.
It almost always means opening a wave of ignorance either questioning it or abusing its lessons to protect violence today.
And those two things aren't unrelated. Because so many institutions we trust abuse the Holocaust to justify violence, colonialism and attacks on speech and protest -- we are no longer filling the gap in actual Holocaust education. Feeding and enabling hate and antisemitism.

Imagine if a US Congress member rose up to admit that he thinks a Native American Congress member is only in there by mistake because American genocide didn’t finish the job.
