Hello Newsies fandom, for your casual viewing pleasure (and because apparently some people think headcanoning the Jacobs family as Jewish is antisemitic), here is the exact passage from the official Newsies novel that states Davey is Jewish and Jack is Irish :D

It's not a headcanon, it's literally written in the source material and, even if it wasn't, this fandom has been headcanoning characters' ethnicities based on their names since 1992. They're street kids living in New York City in 1899, they're going to be a diverse group and the best thing we have to go on is their names. I know my group of mutuals headcanon at least two other characters as Jewish, somewhat if not entirely based on their names.

Like, I don't know how else to explain that headcanoning a character with a traditionally Jewish name isn't "stereotyping" it's literally just being like "oh hey, this whole family has really common Jewish names, it would be fun if they're Jewish" and then we all move on with our lives because it's also literally canon. Like, it would be bad if we were headcanoning a character as Jewish purely because they exhibit behaviors that are also associated with negative Jewish stereotypes but that's literally not what's happening here. Also I'm pretty sure it's mentioned in the non-dialogue parts of the script somewhere but I don't have access to that.

In conclusion, don't be weird about people headcanoning characters as minorities, it's not stereotyping it's literally just people existing.

(Also, I am not Jewish, so I do not at all claim to be any kind of authority on representation. If any Jewish bloggers want to weigh in I will happily read and be open to learning!)

#not to vague post on main but i'm feeling confrontational today #my old post about character details confirmed in the newsies novel was going around again and i got excited until i found out why #the jacobs family is canonically jewish and even if they weren't it's not a weird thing to headcanon #if you're going to police people's headcanons at least go after the ones that are actually harmful to disenfranchised communities #tell me if you want to hear my jewish mush headcanons because i have a lot of thougths about him that i don't think i've ever posted #also if anyone wants my pdf of the newsies novel just dm me it's such a fun read #david jacobs #newsies #92sies #livesies #newsies novel

why do you mean you have trouble discovering new music. back in my day we got our obscure music recs from the welcome to night vale weather and we fucking liked it

#welcome to night vale was the first place I ever heard songs with swearing and references to sex. it was literally life changing #especially for a queer kid like me #incidentally welcome to night vale was some of the first media I ever consumed #(aside from educational children's books) #that had out queer characters #Welcome to night vale is fucking magical. #The main character is a gay Jewish dude with aids who is just. Peak queer joy. #He loves his husband so much it literally drives the story sometimes. also he's probably nonbinary #This generation is missing out #welcome to night vale

Man this is so unimportant in the grand scheme of things but idk how I'm supposed to just follow fandom people and do normal Tumblr shit after this because of how widespread the absolute mask-off insane antisemitism has been recently?

#jewish stuff #i guess #i have actually generally found my main fandom to be safer from that stuff than others #despite the impression people have of it #which is nice but #you know #far from perfect #definitely have seen some awful shit but it's from the corner i expected it from rofl

Goyim non Muslim/Arab/Palestinians who are trying to help with the situation have to understand this:

Reading one book. Reading 3 news articles. Reading even three scholarly articles. Watching the news every day. Even doing ALL OF THESE THINGS EVERY DAY since 10/7—this is nothing more than a drop in the bucket of the work you need to be doing to contribute to conversations about this conflict, let alone leading any kind of charge.

I have been intimately aware of the conflict and it’s intricacies since I was seven years old. I have been learning and unlearning things my whole life. I am Jewish and pro-Palestine and have spent my adult life learning about Palestinian needs as well as combatting pervasive propaganda from extremists on BOTH SIDES meant to confuse newcomers to the situation like most of you are.

It is, honestly, entitlement that makes you think you can’t waltz into a complex situation involving a 2,000+ year old conflict, multiple identities of non-western origin, multiple cycles of extremism and expulsion and ethnic cleansing and wars from all sides—and take the lead on any of this. You can’t. You don’t know enough. You don’t even know enough to know what you don’t know or how to tell if what you know is wrong.

That doesn’t mean you aren’t necessary for helping to solve this conflict. It means a lot of people are being more vocal than they have any right to be about a situation they know almost nothing about. And they’re doing it so they can feel morally righteous and on the right side and like they’re helping.

But if you actually want to help rather than just looking or feeling like you’re helping, then you need to listen to affected groups when they are speaking. You need to not declare either side right or wrong. You need to learn the difference between terrorism and activism. You need to understand the impact of your words on Muslim, Palestinian, Arab, Jewish, Israeli, and even south Asian communities who are constantly roped into the conflict by racists who just hate all brown people.

You need to learn about the foundations and warning signs of antisemitism. You need to learn about the same about Islamophobia. You need to be open to being wrong. A LOT. Because you will be. Because this conflict is complicated and even those of us who have been in it forever learn things and have to revise our opinions and stances. You need to not assume you are correct about anything and you should have reliable sources for anything you add to this conversation.

You outnumber ALL OF US. You outnumber everyone who is actually affected by the conflict by A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT. And your job should be to focus your efforts on FINDING A PATH TO PEACE. Move the conversation away from the personally fulfilling but globally damaging good guys v bad guys narrative. Move it towards a mutually beneficial peace agreement that keeps both Jews and Palestinians safe and protected and equal in their shared homeland.

This is not a Western European-American Christo-centric conflict. Stop applying your principles to it. Start considering that marching, calling senators, and calling for more or less bombs to happen to the “right” people isn’t helping. It’s not helping. You’re not helping.

What will help is listening to people who are actively working to achieve peace. Listening to concerns about ongoing attacks against Israeli civilians during ceasefire. Listening to ongoing segregation of Palestinians and depravation of essential resources from Palestinian Territories. Learn about the official political history of the international community with Israel and Palestine and what the motivations of EACH NON-I/P COUNTRY might have been over the course of Palestine’s 2000yo history. Learn how that might still influence modern western nations today. Learn about Jewish diaspora. Read about counterterrorism and propose or spread awareness of methods and means that can both protect Israeli and Palestinian civilians and defang or eliminate antisemitic or Islamophobic extremists and terrorists. Look for organizations devoted to SHARED PROSPERITY FOR PALESTINIANS AND ISRAELIS.

Furthermore, anyone who tells you that the conflict is simple or repeating a phrase over and over is simple or tells you there is an obvious good answer is at best uninformed but is most likely operating in bad faith. Their “simple” answer isn’t something every world leader ever has magically overlooked. It is one of the routine, recurring “solutions” that depend upon the disenfranchisement, death, or displacement of an affected population that they deem unworthy of consideration.

Israelis aren’t going anywhere. Palestinians aren’t going anywhere. Both populations deserve safety. Both populations’ religions and cultures deserve equality and, yes, explicit constitutional guarantees that they will have their religious and cultural practices respected and protected from violence or suppression. That may not fit with your modern secular ideas that having any guarantees for any religion in a constitution is inherently evil.

But we are dealing with two groups who have been brutalized to near extinction on the grounds of their religion and culture for millennia so consider that asking for guaranteed safety in writing is a pretty reasonable thing to want for everyone, actually.

PayPal finally delivered! Ty for your business!

I focus political stuff on my main blog since it has the most followers, but for the love of god don't forget what's going on and don't get complacent. This is a drop in the ocean for what's needed but it's something, and a lot of somethings make a lot.

#not an art #Also I hope Israel and USA never recover from the digitally documented war crimes. But that's for the main one #Extra disclaimer: all my Jewish friends I'm sorry you're being forced into this you definitely did NOT need it #Being against the Israeli government does not mean anything against Jewish people in general. People who know right know right #400 feels like nothing now... but it's not nothing it's a little something.

listen. star trek has been my special interest for literally over a decade. All of the characters are so near and dear to my heart in so many different ways, but none of them quite like Mr. Spock.

In him I have always seen myself: A mixed kid wanting to reconcile both my heritages without losing pieces of either one. An autistic kid wanting desperately to find a way to connect to the neurotypical people around me, trying to navigate my emotions and find balance. A mama's boy, a son seeking the approval of his father (but never wanting to admit it). And he made me feel proud to be Jewish; proud of my nose and my dark hair.

And I know so many people who have identified with these parts of his character and more, and I will always be grateful to Leonard Nimoy for making him what he was.

Honestly, I think any actor would be hard pressed to fill Nimoy's shoes. But there is so much more that could have been done to keep Spock... Spock. I think Peck is a fantastic actor, and I know he's at the mercy of the script he's given. But never will I be able to connect to his Spock, not the way they are articulating his character. He's still very much ND coded, still his mother's son. But G-d, they really have neglected so many other pieces.

I just think it's a shame.

TLDR: snw spock is impossible to connect to in the way I connected to tos spock.

#literally no hate to peck at all #and it's a shame bc i rly like the other snw characters #but it's hard to watch for me #sorry to sperg out on main #star trek #star trek tos #spock #star trek the original series #spirk #kirk #snw #ethan peck #leonard nimoy #jewish #judaism #race and ethnicity #autism #autistic

btw i'm palestinian. i've said it before but i'll say it again. anyone who expresses support towards israel in any way can fuck right off my blog. there is no "both sides"-ing this shit. my people have been suffering for almost 80 years, getting ethnically cleansed and oppressed. there is NO "both sides". israelis do not get an ounce of sympathy from me. and anyone who disagrees with what i just said can leave. i will not respect you if you actively support the ongoing genocide of my people.

#i've been posting like crazy on my main about this #and i've barely been posting on here #guys my family literally got bombed right in the middle of a phone call with them #i have 0 sympathy for settler colonizers #the propaganda and everything they're saying about palestinians now is fake #and hey. if you're gonna take this opportunity to be antisemitic #get the fuck off my blog too #this blog is a safe place for jewish people #jewish palestinian solidarity <3 #oil.

"[My daughter is] neither bourgeois nor a twit, and has long been out of diapers, while your writings have not risen past the level of their contents" is such an extremely Russian insult; I'm crying with how true-to-life Ivanova's dad came for this guy's fuckin kneecaps

#erin is talking #babylon 5 #andrei ivanov #susan ivanova #anyway does anyone remember how good Ivanova's part of the episode TKO was #I didn't care one bit about the main plot but hoo boy did I care about Ivanova's arc #where Susan keeps repeatedly running away from dealing with her complicated grief #and it's her rabbi who prompts her to realize she can heal by leaning INTO her Russian and Jewish heritage instead of running away from it #and he gives her her family's samovar and she finally agrees to sit shiva for her father
