me: *identifies as/with witchy things bc of my family history of woman-centered jewish mysticism that I used to ridicule cause I was made fun of for believing in it as a kid, and I am now embracing it*

u: *identifies as/with witchy things cause u saw that “we r the daughters of witches u couldn’t burn” quote on a girl power website.*

me: ur ancestors used to literally burn my ancestors at the stake for being inherently magical people

u: … girl power

# been feeling this a lot lately, like, I just need people to be aware of the history, it scares me when they aren’t, like I can’t even claim the things about me that are mine and everyone else has free reign idk, these are the scars on my family tree, and the witches in storybooks all look like me, witches, antisemitism

THIS.

i cant count the instances where our stories, our likenesses, our lives, our stories, are written and immortalized in goyische fictions with their jewish contexts completely erased
