Hungry. Can’t string words or thoughts together coherently. This fast is hitting harder than usual for me. Feeling out of it like this can help with prayer, tho. If I don’t fall asleep.

Our synagogue had even more security than usual today. I suppose they tightened it up after the shooting in Canada last night. I hate that this is necessary. But apparently we need armed guards & photo ID checks to pray safely. #Jewish

I feel closer to being ready for this. I have an idea for how to structure it: We’re going to use marrying Jewish woman as an entry point for discussing how Islam sees Judaism, in general. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

This week, I need to lead an hour of discussion about the Jewish wives of Mohammad for a class of college freshmen. I have a lot of reading to do before I know enough, & it’s daunting…I hope I can rise to this challenge.

A pet peeve of mine that’s gotten stronger over time: When people speculate about whether Barron Trump has autism. It’s always said in this sniggering, conspiratorial way, as if it’s scandalous & embarrassing. Cut it out.

If I make a mistake or typo, in English or any other language, you should all assume I’m 1) already aware of it & 2) deeply embarrassed. Maybe 2 people will be able to read my Syriac posts, but I don’t want to look stupid in front of those two people 😭 …

This whole “dog autism” discussion drives home: Autism is not an illness. We aren’t sick or dying. The disability is social, including economic: We can’t network, or get & keep a job. It’s a mismatch between our skills & what’s expected of us. It wouldn’t…
