one of my biggest regrets on my website is that I didn't include an upload date on all the stuff I write. My website goes back over 4 years, and I've evolved a lot in that time as a writer and person, so I don't like a lot of what I have but want to keep it up for archival reasons, so as of now I have no way of delineating what I actually agree with and like and what dumb ass opinion I had at 22.
like some things I wrote (like my thing about guilt around being Jewish in the modern day with Israel being as it is) I just straight up hate. I do not agree with myself back then, and if I had written it now, I would push way harder on the idea that being Jewish matters whatsoever to what Israel the state is doing.
like me as an individual have nothing to do with Israel and I feel no obligation to demonstrate my lack of allegiance to it. But at like 21 or whenever I originally wrote that, I was a lot less mature, and I had a lot of internalized antisemitism that kept me from recognizing that the genocide is not my fault because I was born Jewish.

I've been considering writing refutations of some of what I wrote in the past, or putting a "circa 20xx" thing, but idk, I gotta think about it
