PSA: If you are Jewish and you need a menorah and candles, contact your nearest Chabad house and they will give you one for free or at most extremely cheap.

People have already dug up and begun circling this post again for this year, but here it is again.

Another thing! If you live in a college dorm that has a policy against candles being lit in the rooms, and you want to light a menorah for Chanukah, seek out help advocating yourself from your local Chabad, Hillel, or other assorted Jewish organization. They know how to deal with this stuff and will help you work on a compromise with school officials. You have a right to celebrate Chanukah.

This is genuinely the same problem I Will forever have with rfs like even if every rf somehow stopped being transmisogynistic they will never stop being people who push imperialist rhetoric and work as intelligentsia for the State trying to legitimise their actions lol… Dworkin did it and Bindel is doing it… none of u are free of sin

Anyway the burqa bans and headscarf bans across Europe weren’t because of women’s equality they were about actively sending the message that “Europe is not for Muslims” and about decreasing the amount of safe public spaces for Muslims to be in lol
