it’s fun being Jewish on twitter bc once a month there’s an anti semitic hashtag trending and sometimes like right now there’s 3 so yeah it’s going great out here

a rambling little thread on my experience being a “bad Jew”

my dad is Jewish and not my mom so i’m already considered a gentile to a lot of orthodox or practicing Jews esp since my parents are both religiously atheists so my mom never converted

this is fine w me bc i’m also an atheist and never had a bat mitzvah or attended temple and i’ve only celebrated passover like 5 times in my life

but i’m still ethnically Jewish and lately i’m getting more and more tired of this idea that because i’m not “really Jewish” i’m going to be fine with anti semitic jokes or statements

and trust me, i know i’m not a good Jewish girl, i don’t believe in God and i’m never getting buried in a Jewish cemetery since i have 4 tattoos and counting but it’s still a part of WHO I AM it’s my ethnic identity

and all i’m trying to do with this thread is vent about my frustration in not feeling “Jewish enough” while at the same time feeling like i’ve been gut punched when someone cracks an anti semitic joke

and i’ve been nice about it for awhile, i’ve let it slide bc i’ve never been denied work or been attacked for being Jewish but i’m really done with it so the next time someone wants to crack a joke they’re the one who’s getting gut punched

anyway that’s the 3 am unasked-for tea from your local bad Jew !! gnight
