As we approach Holocaust Memorial Day tomorrow, I can't help but reflect on my family's own tragic history during that dark time.

Some survived and many others perished in the horrors of the Holocaust.

But from that darkness emerged a profound lesson: the importance of having a homeland, a place where we can proudly stand as a people, with our own army to defend us, and the importance of fighting anywhere against antisemites.

Today, as I see images of Holocaust survivors standing next to posters of Israelis taken hostage by Hamas, it strikes a deep chord within me. The parallels between past and present are undeniable.

These so called "protests", these acts of aggression, they're not about political disputes. They're attacks on our identity, on our existence.

You can't tell me that the chants of today aren't fueled by the same hatred that once fueled the Nazis.

We see through the veils of rhetoric; we know exactly who you are—the new Nazis of 2024.

But we will not be silent. We will not let history repeat itself. We stand strong, united, and determined. We remember the far and the recent past, not just to mourn, but to ensure it never happens again.

We honor the memory of those who perished by fighting against those who would seek to erase us.

Today, we remember, we mourn, and we vow: never again. Just watch us.

that was in fact not kaveh at all.

“The Jewish response to trauma is counter-intuitive and extraordinary. You defeat fear by joy. You conquer terror by collective celebration. You prepare a festive meal, invite guests, give gifts to friends. While the story is being told, you make an unruly noise as if not only to blot out the memory of Amalek, but to make a joke out of the whole episode. You wear masks. You drink a little too much. You make a Purim spiel.” Precisely because the threat was so serious, you refuse to be serious – and in that refusal you are doing something very serious indeed. You are denying your enemies a victory. You are declaring that you will not be intimidated. As the date of the scheduled destruction approaches, you surround yourself with the single most effective antidote to fear: joy in life itself. As the three-sentence summary of Jewish history puts it: “They tried to destroy us. We survived. Let’s eat.” Humour is the Jewish way of defeating hate. What you can laugh at, you cannot be held captive by.

Here's a dumb Genshin comic I made based on a real thing that happened back when I was still teaching elementary school! I just really wanted to see Lyney being a big brother to the kiddos~ This isn't meant to be a shipping comic necessarily but feel free to read it that way haha. Also Wanderer only shows up at the end because I think he'd absolutely enjoy pushing Lyney's buttons 😈

VERY IMPORTANT a dam in the Netherlands, the weerdsluis lock, is directly on a migratory path for spawning fish. They have a worker stationed there to open the door for the fish, but they can take a while to open it. So to keep the fish from getting preyed on by birds they installed a doorbell. Only, the fish don't have hands to ring the doorbell. If you go to their website, they have a LIVE CAMERA AND A DOORBELL that YOU RING FOR THE FISH when they're waiting, and then the dam worker opens the door for them! I can't express how obsessed I am with this. look at this shit. oh my god.

Please check on the fish doorbell once in a while :)
