it’s racist to criticize other cultures for consuming an animal that white people arbitrarily decided shouldn’t be eaten. asserting that white culture and white norms are superior to those of poc is white supremacy.
it’s not about the fact they eat them it’s that the Chinese skin the dogs alive and let them did hanging by their legs and the native canadians club seals to death like a fuckin Flintstones cartoon you simpleton
Or how halal and kosher slaughter is just slitting the throat of the animal and just letting it bleed out. Or maybe how in some areas of India they strangle the animal to death. And if you really want to lose your appetite, look up some of the slaughter practices in sub-Saharan Africa. Far from humane.
Thank you both for proving OP’s point while completely misstating what dhabihah and shechitah are!
if your opposition to antisemitism only extends to antisemitism perpetrated by people you already considered political enemies, then you’re not opposed to antisemitism
Helloooooooo, everybody! This is your front-desk mod (Hagar), letting you know this year’s schedule!
Signupswill run from 03 January (Thursday) through 11 January (Friday). Works are due on 13 March (Wednesday). Reveals will take place across 20-22 March (Wednesday-Friday).
A brief explanation of Purimgifts follows.
Please reblog this post! Thank you :)
Purimgifts is an annual all-fandoms-welcome exchange for fanfic and podfic (either or both, participant’s choice!) with a side-helping of art, focusing on characters who’re at least one of: women, Jewish or persecuted by evil viziers.
This
choice of focus is because this exchange celebrates the Jewish Holiday
of Purim, which commemorates one smart orphan-girl saving her people
from genocide (plotted by the king’s vizier) and becoming a queen while
she’s at it. You totes don’t have to be Jewish to participate, in case
that wasn’t obvious.
Is my fandom eligible? ALL fandoms are eligible;
“nominations” is a misnomer - all fandoms will be approved
unless
they’re, like, a romance between a Nazi officer and Jewish inmate
or something else of that sort and scale. Our tag set is here. Nominations and signups will run concurrently. (Or nominations may open in December. That’s also a possibility.)
Do I have to request/offer both fanfic and podfic?
Nope! You can request/offer only one or the two, or request both and
offer one, or really any combination thereof; you can also make separate requests/offers for each! If this is
confusing to you, we warmly suggest the RULES, the FAQ or the SIGNUP GUIDE.
How’s the podfic to fanfic ratio?
How this year goes is up to you, but in previous years we’ve had way
more podfic requests than offers, so more podfic offerers would be
awesome!
Are you also on other platforms? Yup! You can find us on Dreamwidth and Livejournal.
(A Pillowfort comm is coming!)
Got more questions? You can send us an ask, write us an email (purim_gifts@yahoo.com) or come say hi over at Dreamwidth or Livejournal. We only bite hamantaschen, promise!
