The thing about Maus and everyone saying that it’s triggering just makes me think of the best argument pro critical race theory, which is that if a five year old black kid is exposed to racism everyday, then your five year old white kid can learn about racism.

Jewish people grow up and they know from their youth about this event that decimated their numbers, an event that has been so fucking traumatic that people don’t truly know just how deep the intergenerational trauma will go.

I, as a non-jewish guy, read Maus and I feel my insides churn but the difference between me and a Jewish guy of my same age is that it doesn’t mean I am in danger. This didn’t happen to my grandfather or grandmother. I can put fucking Maus down and I can go back to my day, unlike Jewish people who will need to face the world AS JEWISH.

The world hates Jewish people. When they read Maus, it is something that HAS HAPPENED. It isn’t fiction, it isn’t a story someone wrote to entertain, Maus tells you what fucking happened.

You HAVE to digest that, like thousands of Jewish people have, MUCH younger than you.

Get a fucking grip, of course it’s horrifying. Let that motivate you into unlearning antisemitism, instead of putting the subject away for your own comfort.

Hey guys, if you have the time please click this link and go view the AIDS memorial quilt. As of last year, all 1.2 million feet of the quilt has been photographed and made viewable to the public.

As such a cornerstone to our community as queer people, the AIDS quilt was a sign of love and remembrance of all who were lost. And for some, with no solution in sight. What a wonder science is, because living as HIV/AIDS positive is no longer a death sentence. It is a treatable and manageable disease. We can live full and happy long lives and not transmit the disease.

When it was intitially unveiled, the quilt had about 2,000 panels and it was now bloomed into 48,000. The majority of them measuring 6'3". About the size of a grave.

I urge you to take the time to treasure, understand, and support our community. As their lives and the queer movement- have brought undoubtable freedom as we live in our own.

Making a quilt can take countless of hours. And a quilt of this size, it’s a whole generations worth.

Love your queer elders. Love your gay history. Live free, today.
