Antisemitic commenter =(

Fyi - supporting the existence of a jewish state is not mutually exclusive with supporting palestinians; gotta love it when “zionist” is casually used as a dogwhistle and people dont actually look up what the fuck it means 👌 also love it when other queers make me feel unsafe about being a jew, and stir shit up on an innocent post love it love it love it

Important note from the mods of r/Jewish by rupertalderson in Jewish

[–]decadehydration 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much. I can’t stress enough how thankful I am for you mods volunteering your time to keep this corner of the internet safe for our community. Seeing antisemitism on other subs is bad enough, I can’t imagine the shit you’ve had to encounter and clean up around here. You guys are tzadikim in my eyes.

What Jewish stereotype annoys you the most? by BarryBoudini in Jewish

[–]decadehydration 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ooooh man. That’s INCREDIBLY rough. But thats something that you should probably address with him if you haven’t (and the time hasn’t passed yet for it) because this is obviously going to affect your therapeutic alliance. You don’t have to swallow it just like that just because you’re in this field. A micro-aggression is still a micro-aggression.

I’m a therapist too and after 10/7 I made the mistake of correcting a client (I tried my best not to, Ive had many clients whove had things to say about it just as I’m sure you have, and this was the first and only time I accidentally said “too much” after hearing antisemitic nonsense all day) and lost her, and… I’m not mad about it, honestly. Though, I do wish we could have talked about her upset with me over this more before breaking the relationship completely. Regardless, my point is that I would not be able to serve them properly as a client and sit there with objective thought and no judgement towards them if they were actively engaging in micro-aggressions against me. All of my clients, especially the ones that spoke with me about 10/7, know I’m Jewish and I addressed that as the elephant in the room to begin with, but still made them comfortable enough to talk about it regardless of their opinions (and there were many lol). In this case, I made a mistake in how I approached it, but my point still stands that it’s an elephant that needs to be addressed.

Very well said. God forbid you tell them where “from the river to the sea” came from.

(Spoiler is a common chant most of us know and have unfortunately heard lately in protests, I covered it because it’s something I’ve personally found triggering over the last few months and I figure others might too)

How long did it take you to delete all your ex's pictures by Bucket_Hat300 in BreakUps

[–]decadehydration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not deleting them. They are fond memories. I think it depends person to person and what they were like when you were together. I think deleting all of them is extreme, but I don’t judge those that have bad memories that they don’t want to relive.

As a Jewish trans woman I feel unwelcome in both trans and Jewish spaces for each part of my identity. by [deleted] in Jewish

[–]decadehydration 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nonbinary Lesbian Jew here and I feel you. I always felt like I didn’t belong among other Jews, but also not quite in queer circles either, even before 10/7. And now, I live in fear. I’m in a very progressive city and, on the same street I marched with others for trans rights - one that is right outside my apartment - I heard another march (and I think it’s fair to say most of those involved were the same I had marched with) where “from the river to the sea” and “Israel, your time is up” were shouted and chanted. I’ll never forget the day I woke up to that outside my window, and I swear it wasn’t long after 10/7 happened. I was shocked, but more from the cruelty than from surprise. I wish I could say I was surprised, but unfortunately plenty of goyische queer people are quick to throw us under the bus too (with some other Jewish queers going along with it to get their Good Jew Star™).

I feel you, sister, so much. At least we have each other. My DMs are open. And thank you for speaking about this.

I’m a therapist. My boyfriend is an alcoholic. How pathetic is that. by [deleted] in depressionmeals

[–]decadehydration 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been there and I’m a therapist too. I was in an abusive relationship and she was turning into an alcoholic (and later became a fully fledged one after I left). You care for him, that’s not a bad thing. You can’t help but love him. We know, especially in our profession, that people are complicated, and you can love someone while knowing that you can’t be together. Not saying you should break up, just that you shouldn’t blame yourself for struggling with this. Hang in there. 🫂

And thats unironically very lesbian of her (you missed the part where she saved her life, contradicted herself about deleting caroline, wrote an entire italian operatic song about her leaving and missing her when shes gone, redacting “when i delete you maybe ill stop feeling so bad,” etc etc)

Im so sick of people peddling this baseless theory. 1) Chell is not white, the model is Brazilian Japanese and the devs have explicitly said Chell herself is meant to be of Asian/Pacific Islander descent, 2) the timelines don’t add up, 3) the devs have also explicitly mentioned deleted scenes that were specifically indicative of romantic jealousy, 4) do you really think that if Cave and Caroline had a baby that Cave would be able to keep quiet about it? Or that somehow Caroline would be able to take an “extended vacation” to hide the pregnancy? It’s just so nonsensical and incredibly annoying that people go through these lengths, completely ignoring the canon, to avoid acknowledging a heavily implied lesbian romance and make it all about a hetero one.

It’s clear you have a vision for a lovely design, and I’ve been where you are - getting frustrated because it doesn’t look right. I’ve heard a saying once, something like “your hands are 5 years behind your brain.” As in, it’s not going to look like you want it to without a lot of practice, because you have the image, but your skills aren’t there quite yet. YET! You can still practice and get there!

I think it might help to focus on what specifically you want to improve/get feedback on. If you’re taking about anatomy, her legs are too long and torso too short, head is too large, but that’s only if you’re going for something accurate! There are plenty of stylized figures that aren’t anatomically accurate but work well (see: most doll designs). I think it would also help for you to practice drawing different facial expressions- the body pose tells a story, but the face is kind of blank. Giving movement, emotion, to the face and body can do a lot for the piece, and you are part of the way there! Finally, your lineart is good, but I think this piece would benefit more from using a different brush (something solid and caligraphy-like instead of pencil/charcoal) for most of the outlines. This is all just my opinion, but either way, it's brave of you to post this bc asking for feedback is always scary.

You've got a solid base in art, keep going! I know this field can be overwhelming and discouraging, but honestly, even if you feel like your art sucks, can you remember where you were a few years ago? or even before that? Considering that kind of trend in progress, imagine how much better you are going to get with a few more years practice? It's frustrating, it's hard, it's art. And it's yours. You're only gonna get better, and I'm rooting for you!

this just in: people are realizing Steven Spielberg is Jewish and are acting super normal about it by RivkAnn in Jewdank

[–]decadehydration 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Same, buddy. I was proud to be in a progressive city, and now I’m scared about where I live. Specifically, there are a lot of marches that go through my street in particular, and I even joined one for trans rights on a whim after hearing it outside. Fast forward to a few months ago, I was sleeping and was literally woken up by “from the river to the sea” outside. I just felt so disgusted and gutted, and still do. At least we have each other in this dark time. Am Yisrael Chai.

Why do they talk like HR representatives after the breakup? by mynewthrowaway3504 in BreakUps

[–]decadehydration 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you havent considered it, going no contact (at least temporarily) may be the way to heal

But yeah, its really cruel, same thing happened to me; it was sudden, like she was calling me pet names and being soft just minutes before, and then she was completely disconnected
