I used to make websites. I wrote “Design for Community.” I designed the original Blogger. I created JPG Magazine, Fray, Kvetch, Cute-Fight, and more.

Now I grow flowers and turn them into CBD products for https://milkbarn.farm. I take care of 30-something chickens, 13 goats, 3 dogs, 2 cats, and my wife and myself in Boring, Oregon.

Nazis, TERFs, and Republicans can fuck off. Do not explain capitalism to me.

He/him.

You know you must be doing something right if you're upsetting the Nazis.

Really fucking annoying that the far right explains what’s happening in Israel as Jews controlling Biden and the far left explains it as Biden being controlled by Jews. It’s all just antisemitism.

And neither side will acknowledge reality: Bibi is an insane war criminal. Israel is not an American colony, it’s a nation that Biden has no control of. It’s completely arrogant and wrong to think either man can control what the other does, or that the Jewish people have any say over any of it.

@garbados If you haven't bumped into antisemitism of the "Jews secretly control the world" variety on the left, I'm happy for you, but I have. A lot.

@garbados Everyone raised in America has absorbed some amount of unconscious antisemitism. Some people just haven't noticed yet.

@garbados If you really haven't seen "Israel is controlling the US" from lefties, then yeah, you probably are.

If you read this as a leftie and feel defensive, I'm only asking you to not be antisemitic when you criticize Israel. That's it. You can do it. I know you can. If I can do it as a Jewish leftie, you can fucking handle it. And if you can't, that's a you problem, and I don't need to hear about it. Thanks.

@Hcobb usually when I can’t tell if something is a joke or not I just block the person because it’s too much trouble.

Years ago, I went to Poland to see where the Powazeks came from. Dad and I took a tour of one of the camps where our family was killed. The tour guide asked us if we were Polish or Jewish. "Both," I said. "You can't be both," he said flatly. This was in the early 2000s.

This is how the Poles could kill us. Help the nazis send us to camps. Take our homes. We weren't part of "us."

Today: Republican Ron Johnson reminds us that Jews in America are also not "us."

@floating Exactly.

@Vai what does that mean?

@mivox They don’t see it as bigotry. They see it as fact.

I wish more people understood this. Jews aren’t a religion in most places - we’re a people.

Quite the mind fuck being an American Jew and descendant of Holocaust survivors right now, as nazis and republicans call Jewish protesters “antisemitic.” I don’t blame anyone for being confused by it all. Just know that your Jewish friends have been angry about it for a long time. And remember that anyone claiming to speak for all Jews probably isn’t.

We have long watched as the worst people use us as an excuse to enact their power fantasies. Please don’t believe them when they do.

@darkandandstormy Yup! But please don’t use that site. They pay nazis.
