This also goes to my point that #ActuallyAutistic people and their loved ones who support them need to welcome parents of newly-diagnosed autistic children as soon as possible. If they don't, then the cranks and grifters selling snake oil will.

There are two talmuds - the more well known one - the Babylonian (or Bavli). and the lesser known and studied Palestinian / Jerusalem (the Yerushalmi) which is older

Autistic masking is something that many autistics do to stay safe. It informs much of how we go thru the world. It looks different from person to person. Not all of it looks like “being neurotypical” How one masks doesn’t create a separate or new type of autism. It’s a strategy.

People don’t like hard stuff. I can understand why. And, it can often be rewarding. What’s difficult is drawing the line between hard and helpful for growth + hard for no reason that just crushes you.

Jews speaking out against antisemitism and violent rhetoric about controlling the world, the Talmud, demonic sacrifice, and Rothschilds isn't "silencing the voices against genocide" Literally a member of Rabbis for Ceasefire FFS. Ghouls.

When one tolerates antisemitism and makes excuses for it, one becomes part of the very problem. I shouldn’t meed to say this, but - don’t read into this anything that I didn’t say. Opposing Israel and its action’s need not be antisemitic at all. Plenty of us do who are Jewish.

We need to stop calling every autistic person leaving an overwhelming situation “elopement.” Elopement and self-regulation aren’t the same thing. As this term is getting popularised by the influencer crowd, I’m hearing it more and more in spaces I’m in, and being used to describe things it isn’t.

This is disgusting. This isn’t Torah. This isn’t a shared home. This is thuggery masquerading as something else. This isn’t about Judaism. This is about nationalist and xenophobic hate. I’m ashamed and we all should be.

Trying to explain Judaism via the same lens of analysing Christianity is inherently ignorant and can verge on the antisemitic. Failing to recognize the colonial and replacement nature of Christianity when using the same critiques towards Judaism is steeped in millennia old bigoted ideas.

I think this piece from @theautisticcoach.bsky.social @autisticrabbi.bsky.social says some of the most important stuff about Judaism's future possibilities. Read the whole thing by backing our Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/ben...
"[Mordecai] Kaplan’s Judaism refuses assimilation. It was grounded in peoplehood, in communal creativity, and in the lived, complex reality of being Jewish in the Diaspora."
"And critically, this meant placing community - not belief, not ritual, not law - at the centre of Jewish religious life."

Y a pas d’argent pour protéger les synagogues et les Juifs qui prient, pas d’argent pour préserver les sites historiques juifs, pas d’argent pour aider à soutenir nos communautés. Mais y en a plein pour le pape et le « patrimoine » catholique. C’est ça, la laïcité.
