This is going to be a little different from my usual posts, but here I go anyways.

It is rare, especially now, for online content to make me really and truly happy. But today I saw something that both made me really happy and also made me think.

I was scrolling through TikTok and came across multiple videos of the same kind. A woman wearing a hijab was finding other Muslim women and was helping them try on a hijab for the first time. These videos brought me so much joy. The hijabi woman's gestures were so kind and loving, she seemed almost like an older sister to the other women. The care with which she helped them put on the hijab was so sweet. And then there was the reaction of the women to wearing a hijab for the first time. There were before and after shots, and every single time, the "after" photos of them in the hijab were so happy. It was so pure to see women finding joy in dressing in a way that brought them comfortable.

But even more interestingly, it was a joy I recognized. The sisterly and caring gestures of the more experienced hijabi were familiar too.

The joy I saw in the "after" photos was reminiscent of my emotions when I first intentionally dressed tznuis (Jewish modesty). It was recent, and I felt so comfortable and safe in the clothes I was wearing, and I recognized that comfort in the faces of the women in the videos.

The sweet and caring gestures of the experienced hijabi reminded me a bit of my interactions with rebbetzins and other older religious women in various communities. They're always so sweet and kind (in my experience of course), and I noticed that they frequently try to connect through touch. You know, putting a hand on my shoulder or elbow. Hugs, of course. Using those gestures to make people feel heard and listened to.

And that made me think. We are so much more similar than the media gives us credit for. In fact, it reminded me of an interaction I had with a classmate just last week.

In one of my classes, we were talking about cultural traditions, and we were supposed to pair up and discuss family traditions we have. I mentioned that I love celebrating New Year's because my family doesn't celebrate Christmas, but due to them coming to the US from ex-USSR countries, they brought over similar yet secular and unique traditions for New Year's.

The girl I ended up pairing up with mentioned that she also didn't celebrate Christmas, because she was Muslim, and then she started talking about what her family does for Ramadan.

We ended up having a really nice discussion, connecting over having to fast for holidays, being surrounded by a majority Christian world, and other things we had in common.

And at the very beginning of the year, a Jewish friend of mine and I were complaining to each other about how lame it was that there were only two cheese pizzas at the event, and the rest were all pepperoni (and therefore not kosher), which led into a discussion of accommodating dietary restrictions. We unintentionally ended up sitting next to a few Muslim girls who heard our conversation and joined in, and we had the fun experience of bonding over the pork-obsessed world we all live in.

So yeah. We're actually not as different as the media and politicians make us look.

This is why, as much as I try to advocate about antisemitism, I still try to call out Islamaphobia in my day-to-day life.

There really isn't an excuse for hating an entire group. No excuse for awful and slanderous generalizations, which I've seen made about both us and Muslims. Just as antisemitism shouldn't have any place in these discussions, neither does Islamaphobia.

In fact, I think it would be amazing if we could set aside our differences and unite on this issue.

I know we may feel adversely towards each other in regards to the Israel-Hamas war and our views on it. And I'm not going to force anyone to agree/disagree on all the same things about it. Both sides are hurt. Both sides are accusing each other of genocide, and neither one (majority, I know extremist views exist on both sides, that's not who I am talking about here) actually hates all of the other side to the point of wanting to kill each other.

Yes, we disagree. Yes, our disagreement right now is serious and valid. But there is something we can, I hope, agree upon, and that's the fact that neither side of what's happening should employ Islamaphobic/Antisemitic rhetoric.

So here's a summary of what I'm trying to say:

We aren't as different as we are portrayed to be. We aren't "natural enemies" or whatever people think. We are all human, and we should all be united in the fact that generalized hate has no place on either side.

Both Antisemitism and Islamaphobia are rising right now. We may not see eye to eye on everything, but we are all human, and we should all do our part in dealing with that rise in hate. Not contribute to it.

...

Even though I am trying to speak against hate and division right now, I am certain that I'm probably going to receive at least a few hateful or negative responses to this. But you know what?

I don't really care anymore. Those hateful people are not anyone I could ever change or convince. So I'm going to try and remind myself to pick my battles and not waste energy on pointless arguments. Hateful responses to this post will be blocked and deleted.

However, Muslims of Tumblr, if I did say anything culturally problematic or inaccurate (for example, if the term "hijabi" or "experienced" in regards to being a hijabi is somehow a problem) (or like if comparing wearing a hijab at all to tznuis clothing is an issue) please let me know so I can fix it! I tried to not be culturally insensitive but I don't really know all that much so please do let me know!

Little People, Big Art...

I will be less inclined to selecting, highlighting, praising, writing texts, pointing to the YWAMag galleries of the scornful artists. There are two reasons for this hate (cold hate, most of the time, aka passive aggressiveness) : slander, and “anti-racism”, as I am considered by neo-collaborationnists as a “white racist”, which I’m actually not, but having daily worked for about 6 years on crime and terrorism, my fact reports and logical conclusions don’t please those neo-collaborationnists. Yet, the mag is literally full of neo-collabs’. It doesn’t matter, I can’t do otherwise, I just have not to know it or think about this shit.

These little people function by hate and boycott and this is opposed to art. I’m here for art. The Tumblr staff is strictly the same, recruiting on these ideological bases. So, I keep on praising, selecting, etc, just slightly less, for these little people, with big art. Basile Pesso - YWAMag director since 2 014 Nirvana, Serve the Servants

Flicards vous êtes littéralement fascinants de connerie et de folie on va vous attaquer collectivement en justice pour harcèlement (et pas que) sur victimes d'actes de torture et de barbarie. Vous êtes foutus.

-Je n'ai AUCUN CASIER JUDICIAIRE dans aucun pays. J'ai vécu en France métropolitaine, en Espagne, et à la Réunion.

-Je n'ai AUCUN HISTORIQUE DE VIOLENCE SCOLAIRE.

-Je ne TUE NI EN VRAI NI À DISTANCE.

-Je lutte contre la violence quotidiennement en particulier en France depuis 2 017. J'ai ainsi subi ainsi que ma femme et collaboratrice un boycott terrifiant étant donné que je m'occupe beaucoup de violence de rue et qu'elle n'est pas blanche en Occident et surtout en France.

-La rumeur sur moi "sorcier serial killer télépathe" qui ne court pas que chez des clampins atteint des proportions mondiales et gravissimes. Je ne détaille pas les faits liés à ces délires pour l'instant, et ne dis pas qui en est atteint.

-Les massacres et autres afflictions non létales de type paralysie des jambes continuent depuis le 13. Non, je n'ai ni grimoire ni marmite ni chapeau pointu. Vous êtes PSYCHIATRIQUEMENT MALADES et devez vous faire interner pour notre sécurité.

Today I had a great day, with a terrible experience from another parent at my kids' school.

I wore my favourite new t-shirt:

And as I was walking to the school picnic, another parent was walking toward me, with her two young kids (preschool aged) and commented:

"I should have worn my straight shirt."

I laughed until I realised what she said (my brain takes a minute to process) and as I walked away I managed to say (hopefully loud enough)

"At least we'd know you're a bigot."

Overall, I wish I had said it louder and faster, on the other hand, everyone I told this story to was offended on my behalf on how hateful this parent was.

I live in BC, Canada. Hate is real. Canadians have a duty to be loud and proud, to drown out the hate. We are not immune to the influence of narrow minded people. And we owe it to our kids to help make the world a safer place.

James, was a compassionate employee at the city hall, always elegant looking with his suit, tie and warm smile. One evening, he sought solace in the public park, having a peaceful smoke. Unfortunately, his peace was abruptly shattered when three boys, on their way to a party, crossed paths with him. Regrettably, they chose to inflict physical harm upon James, beating him to the ground, leaving him in a grievous state on the park grass. Unaffected, the teenagers proceeded to join their intended gathering, reveling in their malevolent actions.

As the night continued, the trio retraced their steps, encountering James once more. Tragically, he remained motionless on the ground, his wounds unattended. They cowardly left him there throughout the night. It was not until the following morning, when a passerby stumbled upon the scene, that James’s lifeless body was discovered.

A reminder of the cruelty that transpired, his beloved blue tie now adorns a tree near the park bench in Perth. The city itself bears witness to the profound impact of this tragic event, forever altered by the loss of James.

James lived to be 51 years old.

i have a special hatred for liberal zionists who say "you're not helping Palestinians" and pretending to advocate for us. keep our names out of your mouth. you do not speak for us. only talking about how you feel victimized while we watch people die of bombardment and starvation. i would rather you admit your selfishness than for you to pretend to care about us only to use us for your own self interests.

#palestine #no actually fuck you and your indigeniety arguments i fucking hate you and you speak about things you don't even understand #fuck you #fuck you! #you've never seriously examined racism/race in your life and it shows #fuck yall #fight for palestinians right to life before you fight for your “right” to stolen land.

the taylor swift ai porn issue is such a bleak reminder of how inescapable the horrors of misogyny are. like obviously there's the talk of sort of "celebrity problems" like treatment by the tabloids etc, but beyond that there's just the constant heinous shit that women seemingly cannot escape no matter what. it doesn't matter that she (as well as other female celebrities) is extremely rich and famous and successful and has basically as much privilege and power as it is possible for any person to have, ultimately that's still not enough to escape the revenge porn and sexual assault and stalking and harassment. like there is literally no level of power a woman can have that puts her out of reach of all the men who hate women and want to control and humiliate and subjugate us in any way they can.

#with the obvious addition that if you do not hold these privileges of being rich/white/able bodied/straight/cis etc etc then it's even worse #(which is why even someone who hates taylor with their entire being should still root for her in situations like this. #because if someone with all of her power and resources and privilege can't fight something like this then what kind of hope is there for #any other random woman or girl who faces the same thing.) #talking

"why do these characters always fight why cant they just be nice to each other" because their canon dynamic is that they dont get along hope this helps 👍

#'why do writers make tim and jason hate each other' because they hate each other #writers are not doing anything wrong by making the bats constantly fight with each other #thats just their dynamic. they fight a lot.

What happens when you defend a drag show from the armed transphobes who threatened to murder attendees? In Texas, first you get arrested on bullshit charges, then a "Christian fascist fraternity" sues you for violating their "right" to attack drag queens and their fans. When two people facing this situation contacted the International Anti-Facist Defence Fund, we stepped in to help them with their legal costs, because we have the backs of anyone willing to protect people from transphobic violence. You should too, here's how: Chris' crowdfunder Aeshna's crowdfunder If you also think that having a standing fund to come to the aid of anti-fascists in emergency situations like this = a good idea, you should contribute to that fund right here!

Everything's Gonna Be Ok.

To briefly keep on after my 4 texts of two days ago that have made run away half of you : I don't wait anything from any of you. I have been trying for ten years to wake you up and THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE. Along the years several persons have had the bravery to like some of my texts and fact reports. Globally they haven't been cancelled by the neo-fascists. But who knows ? Have they missed professional opportunities ? France is literally dying. It's now been ten years that many people fear the civil war. Or sometimes hope it, "to end this shit". In June during the riots we have been very close to plunging into civil war. All this has been described by several authors included me in an unfinished novel (Lise) that I had published on Fb slightly before the disappearance of my wife and collaborator. I was particularly proud of this novel, the first one I was about to finish after about 5 unfinished novels. But Anne's disappearance literally cut my wings, on all planes, and obviously the novels' one - except one which hopefully will be published soon -.

Guerre Civile Raciale by Guillaume Faye and the Guerilla series by Laurent Obertone are the two novels/saga that describe what could happen. OBVIOUSLY they have been described by neo-collaboration as "far-right". But the facts are here. Barbarian, each day. Boroughs ravaged by drug deal, gun violence, often kalachnikov one, street rapes, street assaults, murders, burglaries, assassinations, diverse stealings and vandalisms, kidnappings, forced prostitution often upon minors.

Migrants high in this lovely prize list but the invasion HAS to go on and if we protest we're "racists". It's not only France but as said two days ago this is the eye of the cyclone. Don't worry. We're here for art. I know. Basile Pesso - YWAMag director Placebo, I know

P.S : and OBVIOUSLY, the only reactions I get are unfollowings. I told you, it's been ten years that I have been knowing you.

Palme Jaune...

Le climax de l’imbécillité. Après la collaborationniste Rance-Impair Sophia Aram qui croit se découvrir Résistante et qui ordonne en insultant ceux qui ne suivent pas sa kamikazerie délirante de rediffuser les caricatures de Mahomet, n'ayant pas compris ce que j'ai expliqué 5 fois avant la décapitation de Paty et l'attentat devant les anciens locaux de Charlie-Hebdo par un Pakistanais, voici l'idée absolument lumineuse : se désigner comme cible à Franceghreb face à des millions de Musulmans chauffés à blanc par la guerre israélo-palestinienne.

Cazorla est un homme politique RN. La "dédiabolisation" pour se montrer non-antisémite n'a pas de limite, c'est le fameux "virtue signaling" qu'on voit à l'oeuvre dans le lynchage sur lequel j'ai écrit il y a 2 heures.

Ce virtue signaling pourrait nous entraîner directement dans la guerre israélo-palestinienne. Actuellement ce n'est pas un national-sioniste qui gouverne, mais si c'était le cas le risque serait encore plus grand.

C'est un des principes du national-sionisme trans-Etatique : systématiquement mobiliser derrière la cause juive, quelles qu'en soient les conséquences.

Basile Pesso, 1er novembre 2 023 (Fb) Avec post Fb de Jean-Christophe Cazorla avec l'étoile jaune nazie : "Et si tout le monde arbore cette étoile sur son profil."

2023

On a sunny day in Münster, the Christopher Street Day Pride parade began. Amidst the melodies and festivities, a young man named Malte, embracing his identity as a trans man, was partying with friends.

As fate would have it, a fatal moment unfolded when Malte overheard the distressing echoes of homophobic slurs directed towards a lesbian couple. Driven by an unwavering commitment to justice, he courageously stepped forward to defend and protect them. The assailant possessed formidable skills as a former boxer, unleashing a relentless torrent of violence that left Malte battered and unconscious.

Urgently sent away to undergo a series of operations, the severity of his injuries plunged Malte into a coma, a cruel consequence of a devastating brain hemorrhage. Despite the tireless efforts of the medical staff, his life was over. Malte’s glasses were left behind on a cafe table and never picked up.

In the wake of this heart-rending loss, the collective spirit of 6,500 souls converged upon the streets of Münster, harmonizing in mournful yet defiant unity. Their voices intertwined in cathartic song, soaring through the city's cobblestoned alleys, fighting for safe havens of acceptance and relentlessly demanding justice. United through Malte's beloved melodies, they embarked upon a quest to transform grief into a catalyst for societal change.

Malte died 25 years old.
