reading these books about the sephardic diaspora in america is making me realize just how ashkenazi centric a lot of fan content for mcu moon knight is (which i don’t think is wrong necessarily? idk i can’t speak on this) when oscar is of conversos descent and everything in the show points to them being sephardic. unfortunately a major issue is that it seems that information about sephardic culture is not as easily accessible as that of ashkenazic.
are there people out there purposefully writing them as sephardic? i’ll admit i haven’t engaged with the fandom as much to encounter such things if there is.
also if there’s interest i might make a post about the books i collected and which ones i recommend most. i’ll say it now though, the most important book i found is Ladino Reveries by Hank Halio.

Russia, 1881: We’re gonna kill any Jew that doesn’t flee Russia. We’re restricting Jewish emigration to Europe, but permitting emigration to the Middle East.
Germany, Austria, Italy, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Finland, Slovakia, Croatia, France, and others, 1933-1945: We’re gonna kill every Jew in Europe. Flee to the US or Palestine, or die trying.
The US, 1927-1952: Yeah sorry we’re restricting Jewish immigrants to like. 300 people per country. So good luck getting in. We recommend that Jews go to Palestine instead. Btw we are looking to take in Nazi scientists if you know any
Egypt, 1947-1950: We’re rounding up all our Jews and deporting them to Israel
Iraq, 1951-1952: We’re rounding up all our Jews and deporting them to Israel
Algeria, 1962-1965: We’re pressuring and intimidating Jews in the hopes that they’ll all leave the country and go to Israel
Egypt, 1956: We’re rounding up all our Jews and deporting them to Israel (again)
Egypt and Libya, 1967: We’re rounding up, torturing, and killing all our Jews. The ones that survive can flee to Israel
Poland, 1968: The Jews in our country are already loyal to Israel. They will face dire consequences if they don’t leave our country and go to Israel
Ethiopia, 1974-1985: We’re going to marginalize and eventually try to kill all our Jews, and the only way they can escape is by being airlifted out of the country by Israeli helicopters
The US, 2023: Why can’t the Israeli Jews just go back to where they came from? Don’t they all have dual citizenship or whatever?

the simplicity of lactase supplements is so funny to me. it costs like $4 to circumvent evolutionary biology. want to eat dairy but your body doesn’t produce the enzyme necessary to digest lactose? the devs haven’t patched that yet but you can download a mod

I think an under-discussed reason why so much of the internet completely lost its mind after 10/7 is because antisemitism functions differently than other prejudices. Conspiracy theories are closely linked to antisemitism in a way that's not really the case for bigotry against other groups, so morons online very, very easily jumped into Q-anon style thinking when it became both socially acceptable and considered a moral imperative to hate Jews in dipshit zoomer and social justice spaces. They accelerated their radicalization by lapping up the conspiracy theories heavily tied to the antisemitic tropes they were already reblogging. Half a year of antisemitism and conspiracy theories melts your brain, which is why some young leftists are now as unhinged and unrecognizable post-radicalization as someone’s boomer Q-anon uncle. 6 months of protests against a coffee company because people think it funds a foreign military is the kind of crazy stupidity that got people believing a pizza shop was a front for pedophiles
