americans think ABSOLUTELY NOTHIN of driving 7 hours. they’ll drive 7 hours just for dinner. they’ll drive 7 hours just for chips and dip
…I have seriously considered driving 16 hours just for that gumbo from that one diner in New Orleans.
And I have driven 6 hours to pick up bees before.
I’ll drive 12 hours to have breakfast at a Diner outside of Glacier National Park before they run out of Apple Pie. I don’t even eat Apple Pie but my sister loves thiers and her plane wouldn’t get in until after they run out.
It helps that we have large sections of extremely senic countryside with little to no traffic, which is different than driving in through many small cities with stop-and-go-traffic for two hours.
We also have no other option. Our major cities are SEVEN HOURS APART and our trains are exorbitantly expensive and always late.
WE HAVE TO DRIVE SEVEN HOURS, WE ARE FULL OF EMPTINESS AND THERE’S NO TRAIN.
It really sucks being a Jewish person in fandom spaces because even with things I like and enjoy there’s virulent antisemitism. Sometimes it’s huge and big and in your face and sometimes it’s something subtle, that people don’t even realize is antisemitic but causes actual harm.
And I wish people would actually listen when we talk about this stuff. A lot of goyim think they’re listening, but they’ll still do shit like make content for a blatantly antisemitic source, or make content of Jewish characters celebrating Christian holidays.
Sometimes it’s something as simple as refusing to accept that a character or race is an antisemitic caricature.
It fucking sucks, and you can reblog all the posts about supporting and protecting Jewish people all you want, but until you start calling that shit out, you can’t say you support us.
