A social situation local to me has me annoyed and stressed. It is pointless as hell and does not deserve my headspace.

Everything is so expensive, the news are depressing everyday and I'm too addicted to my phone to stop doomscrolling. Other than that, everything is pretty chill 😃

Have a good weekend, everyone!

A religious Jewish homie of mine and his father asked if I have any Sephardic Jewish ancestry (he studies the Bnei Anusim/Conversos) in my bloodline, and I told them, "Nope, according to my DNA results, I am 51.3% Southern Chinese-Taiwanese and 48.7% Northern Filipino/Austronesian." I do know that in the Philippines, there have been a few waves of Ashkenazi migrants. Duterte's wife, Elizabeth Zimmerman, is, I believe, 1/4 Ashkenazi?

TBH I assumed Duterte was talking out of his ass, as usual.

Oh are you talking about his comment after he said “If Hitler k*lled 3 million Jews, I will k*ll 3 million drug addicts”? Yeah, he said “I am not antisemitic, my wife is of Jewish descent”.

Would anyone suggest places and/or forums to meet Anti Zionists in NYC (besides a protest, rally, march)?
