I think it's probably time to make a new #introduction post since my life picture has, well, changed pretty radically since my last one!

I'm a #queer man from Italy, and I am working as a researcher in #Korean studies at a quaint little university in #Tuscany, also Italy. I hope to become a university professor in the future. I have a second degree in #wine studies as well, which I’m currently only using to be obnoxious at parties.

I am #Jewish (a convert) and I belong to the local Progressive Jewish community. I like #videogames, especially indie and/or narrative ones (but I'm also an avid #FFXIV player), I dabble in #photography at an amateur level, and I love #food and #LanguageLearning - apart from my degree in Korean studies I've studied a handful of them academically or through self-study, and I wish I had more time to pursue #hebrew and #spanish.

Feel free to send a toot if you post about any of my interests - or even if you don't and you just want to say hi!

Anyway, the lesson here is that you can't just decide on the historical origins of things using politics and vibes. You have to actually know history.

So I tested positive for Covid for the third time today. It's been barely six months since the last time. My symptoms are fairly light, but I can't say I'm happy.

Let's just hope 2024 is kinder to us than 5784 has been so far.

This isn’t a shitpost this is just the fediverse
just delete "zionism" and "zionist" from your vocabulary. when people use those words, ask them what, specifically, they mean. when you want to use them, say something more articulate instead.
i double dog dare y'all to stop using the word zionist.
mildly threatening
I’m increasingly convinced that like half of modern leftists would seriously consider being Nazis based on aesthetics alone if they weren’t actively considered uncool in leftist circles.
I saw something on the internet that upset me and made me have a quiet freakout and go down a whole rabbit hole, and now it's five minutes later and I can't remember what that thing was because I've seen ten other upsetting things since then, and this just feels like 2023 in a nutshell

7th night, chag Hanukkah sameach!
