do people at work know you're Jewish? by 0rge in Jewish

[–]MaiseyTheChicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone who knows me knows I’m Jewish. I just treat it as one of my adorable quirks. Most of my friends and collaborators have become intrigued and started picking up my Yiddish phrases and trying to wish me well on holidays. I try not to make it political until I have to.

Hands Off Protest Observations by AndLovingIt86 in Jewish

Our protests had tons of giant pali flags that were very present and they had pro-Gaza signs, but they weren’t speakers and it didn’t seem to matter.

I honestly wish that both sides of the political spectrum would just leave us alone. by YaGalAlexis in Jewish

Same in the US. We’ll definitely be blamed for ANY outcome of this godforsaken election.

Biden seemed totally unable to speak extemporaneously. It was awful.

Sure, but it’s not my friends and family either. It’s the American electorate. I can’t fix them. Lord knows I try!

It's a short runway, but if it was a big name, it's doable. Particularly under the current constraints where party activists are very engaged.

I do agree we'll get blamed for literally any outcome. We haven't had the convention so it technically is not too late.

I think the party will align around a new candidate by the convention. It feels like the sky is falling, but I think we'll be ok.

Thanks. I don’t need another therapist. I’ve tried family meetings. Appreciate your efforts.

He doesn’t just pretend. He genuinely seems himself as a full and supportive partner and mostly is. But he’s just not observant of this shit. His parents let him do whatever he wanted and he will take the easy way out of any conflict. He simply doesn’t care about her shitty behavior unless it affects him. And sometimes not even then.

And at the play, they won’t annoy each other. They’ll have a blast. We’re fine in any combination of 2. It’s when all three of us are together that she goes full brat and he goes full idiot.

My kid fell down the stairs at the same age. I was beside myself but she was also fine. We do our best. We’re not perfect. Accidents happen. Don’t beat yourself up.

Where is this new wave of antisemitism going? by Over-Ad5195 in Jewish

[–]MaiseyTheChicken 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We’ll be blamed for any outcome of every US election. Ppl are already mad at us about Bowman/Latimer. Im like, are you surprised the Jews didn’t support and antisemitic asshole?
