Mamdani is 100% right here, despite some people reading into this things that are not said here. Antisemitism is a scourge upon the world. Doesn't need any qualification or quantification or caveats or what-abouts. Any antisemitism is too much antisemitism.

Things I’ve seen people hand it to Hitler for in comparison to Trump: -fighting for his nation unlike SOMEONE who fights for Russia…. Y’know what I’m not gonna start -accepting the expertise of a qualified architect (Speer) for his building projects -having bigger hands -not bribing voters

They note that all visitors are required to walk through body scanners in each of the state’s 41 facilities while officers can simply decide if they want to be screened. (State law prevents the department from forcing correction officers to go through body scanners; they can refuse “for medical or other reasons” and opt for alternative methods of screening.)

...Which maybe THAT'S part of why we're seeing less of various representations. Shorter seasons, longer times between seasons, and smaller writers rooms, means everyone is coming in as strangers, unsure if they can fully unmask, especially with corporate breathing down everyone's necks.

(from Chanel Miller's memoir)

Text reading:

condensation. My cheeks were pink. I combed my wet hair, slid my limbs through the cotton sweatshirt, draped my necklace back over my neck, centering it on my chest. I laced up my boots, the only other item I'd been allowed to keep. I stuffed my blue sweatpants inside them, on second thought, untucked them, pulling them over the outside, better. As I shaped my hair into a bun, I noticed a tag dangling from my sleeve. On it a tiny drawing of a clothesline, Grateful Garments.
Every year Grandma Ann (not blood related but our grandmother all the same) made extravagant paper hats out of recycled material: the mesh netting of pears, colored comics, indigo feathers, origami flowers. She sold them at street fairs and donated the proceeds to local organizations, including Grateful Garments, which provided clothes for survivors of sexual violence. Had this organization not existed, I would have left the hospital wearing nothing but a flimsy gown and boots. Which meant all the hours spent cutting and taping hats at the dinner table, selling them at a little booth in the sun, had gifted me a gentle suit of armor. Grandma Ann wrapped herself around me, told me I was ready.

Exactly How Many Taylors Are There?
🪩Braid Theory + 2-3 Taylors

Thanks to u/gilbke 's fun post last week, I've been thinking again about the Target promo and commercial for TLOAS, and that has made me think about versions of Taylor… This is more a case of the penny slowly dropping, thanks to Taylor's hints, lyrics and visuals and thanks to the brilliant insights of Gaylors on this sub, than of a huge interpretive breakthrough. But I think I can finally put together a theory that accounts for all of the Taylors we have seen.
Introduction

Gaylors were pretty quick off the mark to realise that Taylor was often in dialogue with herself- the two Taylors theory - and then added a third Taylor to the model following ‘Anti-Hero’ for obvious reasons. I do think we’ve often been uncertain about exactly how many Taylors there are, though, and I remember when we first saw the Target promo with all the TLOAS posters on display there was some discussion in the sub about how there may be many multiples of Taylor like the small broken pieces that make a mirrorball.

There's multiple good threads going around today about how to speak up when you see something wrong. I'd like to recommend "gentle parenting other adults". Examples: "no thank you, we use kind words, please" or "listening ears on! Our friend said 'no'" Condescending? Yes, and that's the point.

The student journalists at Cornell are very brave, and it's worth highlighting that they absolutely knew before going to press that publishing those names could negatively affect their chances in journalism because of bosses sympathetic to the fraternity members.
