If you read nothing else on my blog at least read this:
Jewish survival is beautiful, and amazing.
I know times right now are absolutely awful, and it can feel like the world is against us. We're seeing the Nazi marches, the targeting of Jewish businesses, harassment of religious Jews, and so much more at a much more severe rate than many of us have seen within our lifetimes.
But we've survived this before.
The most dangerous thing right now is to lose hope. To lose hope of a better future, to lose hope of any future. We have survived the pogroms, the Holocaust, the Inquisition, the many Middle Eastern anti-Jewish genocides and attacks, various expulsions and so much more.
I've reblogged someone else's post saying this before but I'm going to say it here again: every single Jew alive right now is a miracle.
So here's one thing I want to ask of you: Live.
Do it out of love for your fellow Jews, do it out of spite towards our enemies, do it so that there will be more miracles in the future.
Living is the greatest form of Jewish rebellion.
Living a proud Jewish life is even more so, but at the very least, please live.
Please please please don't give up on life right now. If you feel alone, reach out. Reach out to your fellow Jews, find non-Jewish allies to stand by your side, seek out supportive communities.
As a Jew, you are never truly alone. You have people who will love you like family if you just reach out, because we are one. One family, one nation, one soul. And we all care for each other.

Hi, guys.
I know Iāve been sort of off the platform for a while but Iām here to tell everyone that this blog isnāt dead. Iāve been gone for three reasons:
Tumblrās environment when it comes to its user base and platform has changed dramatically. What started as a fun little blogging site turned into a war zone full of political stuff popping up on my dash with the ongoing conflicts of the world (along with a good heap of antisemitism). Iāve only been catching up to mutual blogs every once in a while but it hasnāt been the same since a couple months ago.
I havenāt got a lot to post about lately and a lot happened over my winter break. Sure I posted a recent artwork of mine a bit of a while ago but then again it wasnāt consistent afterwards.
Iāve been cooking up a personal project of mine, well actually two in particular but I havenāt fully decided on what to start on first. But whatever it would be I do hope to post more of that consistently whenever itās close to being fully done. Iāve been plotting it and connecting major events together and so far itās been a puzzle. Overall I canāt wait to start updates if I manage to come around to it.
Anyway, just a blog update. I really do hope it gets better on here though but weāll have to see when the tide gets steady again. In the meantime, Iāll just be preparing before I go back to school again.
I hate it here now Tumblr isnāt fun anymore.
I came here to express my art and creativity while also maybe gaining a bigger following but Iām not so sure anymore.
For one I havenāt gotten anywhere during the past year. Iāve been posting more OG stuff yet no traction at all.
Tumblr used to be a silly old site where I could not only scream into the void but also allowing anything of niche interest. But now itās just a sad, empty placeā¦dead even.
I had my very first blog during 2019 in which doesnāt exist anymore and I can say for sure that it has not been the same since the period of 2019-2021. I really miss that era when it was actually fun and experimental.
I had to draw this little guy
The recent additions to the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been steadily falling off anyhow thanks to Disney, so I wasnāt too surprised at this news.
However Iād like to also point out the absolute hypocrisy of this decision:
Sabra was an early character during the beginning eras of marvel, which unlike how black panther was made for the sole purpose of fighting back in a cause, Sabra was and additional character to diversify the many heroes from all over the globe. This component is the key part of Sabra. Taking that away on the mcuās part not only opposes their modernized ārepresentation motiveā while also being antisemetic without making it seem as antisemitism.
As a film major Iām already super disappointed to the direction of modern releases and especially pissed off that Hollywood continues their double standards when it comes to Jewish representation within characters and the stories they inhabit. Itās everything inclusive except for Jews; they are simply not allowed to be in character spaces.
Stories are a part of what makes us human; removing one of many varieties of such defeats this purpose.
My point is, stories are for everyone, including for Jewish people!
So is making her RUSSIAN somehow less controversial than making her Israeli?? Really??
It is absolutely disgusting to erase a character's identity like this. I'm not a marvel fan, but as an Israel-born Jew I was looking forward to on-screen representation and would've loved to see Sabra on screen.
Definitely won't be watching now, what's even the point?
This song reminds me so much of āThe Amazing Digital Circusā
Iām going to take a break for a bit on Tumblr and social mediaā¦
Iāve just been feeling burnt out latelyā¦
I post art and stuffPlease donāt repost or steal my artwork, reblog with credit! ā”ļø AM YISRAEL CHAI!! š®š±šļø
