A. The shirt itself goes very hard.
B. Usually I roll my eyes when people talk about the whole “Alpha/Beta Energy” BS, but this actually has me rethinking that entire POV. Sometimes just being brave enough to be yourself, whether it’s in the deep south or anywhere else, takes a lot of balls. ❤️
Leaving the coasts somehow sets you up for experiencing overt antisemitism. In Arizona, I was genuinely asked if matzo contains the blood of Christian children and I was expected to pay most of the time since “He’s a Jew, he’s got plenty”. In NOLA I was asked to leave a bar by patrons with swastika tattoos. In Colorado, at a conference (they were from NC, I picked up a “fan” who wanted to shout Nazi slogans and do the salute around me after they overheard me speaking Yiddish.
I’m so sorry you were attacked in NOLA, it’s absurd that we have to put up with this shit. I truly hope we can be free from this stupidity one day.
America is fucked up.
