I’ve been β€œpredicting” it since 2015. At which point people told me I was hysterical and offensive.

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life?

I’m not terrorizing anyone, babe. Your hatred of Jews is tiresome and unoriginal.

A lot of people have yelled at me about Israel and Gaza over the last 12 hours.

Note that I never actually said anything about Israel and Gaza. I asked bigots to stop kicking Jews and pretending it’s out of care for civilians in Gaza.

And that’s about it.

I guess this was fun after my bedtime gummies (it’s legal in New York), but now it’s just exhausting and traumatic. Mass blocking, removing myself from threads I no longer with to be a part of, and moving on.

While I am having fun laughing at that anti-Semite’s attempts to fuck with me, I do apologize for the upsetting content and I’ll most likely delete it in the morning. I hope you had an easy fast πŸ’œ

You need to stop talking over Jews who are speaking about their own lived experiences. And if you think your deep concern for civilians in Gaza justifies your anti-Jewish bigotry, you never truly needed an excuse.

Manchester. That’s where my bio dad is from. His side of the family fled there from Russia in the 19th c.

Anti-Semites are so simultaneously terrifying and dull.

We're witnessing the culminating rot of shareholder capitalism in real time.

Some of the most powerful corporations in America have sided with an authoritarian regime in order to protect their short term profits β€” the fundamental rights of everyone else be damned.
