There are Reasons why Judaism appeals so strongly to so many neurodivergent, queer and especially ND gender-queer people, and part of that is discovering that "this is who I always was" and part of it is the affinity with masking and being closeted. And some can't join us yet, so we hold space.
Why do I want to be Jewish? Lots of personal reasons (not private, just "I'm obsessed with Judaism" reasons and so on), but one I hadn't thought about is I want to be Jewish for those who cannot be.

There’s no such thing as the ideal disabled person and the insistence on only catering to the ideal disabled person creates compounding structures that actively harm the disabled community and these structures get repurposed pretty quickly for isolating and harming other marginalized groups
It reminds me of the classic “real victims” fallacy that mainly functions to deny that victims are really victims in pursuit of respecting “real victims” but it’s just a practice of shaming specific victims that hurts everyone

For people who think book banning isn't a big deal because even if they're not available in libraries and schools, you can still buy them--this is an elitist argument. Most kids ONLY have access to books from their library. Libraries ensure info access for all. Libraries are vital in democracies.
It's not a badge of honor when books get banned. It stinks for everyone. For the book creators, who worked hard to create something special that now won't be shared. The kids who miss out. The librarians and teachers who are treated like criminals. And taxpayers who have to pay for this nonsense.

Does anyone have suggestions for SF & F in which the main character is a full time wheelchair user?
Literally asking this for a friend who uses a chair and wants to see themselves in a book.

People want to think of abuse as a story of individual monsters who can be rooted out and taken down because it is comforting to think of it as just some bad guys we can lock up, but abuse is really much more about systems that enable bad actors to exploit vulnerable people.

And lo! The oil lasted for ten days! And the parents were exhausted, and potato supply depleted.
A quick tip: AI is notably bad at menorahs.

Throwback to last year's "worst AI menorah" winner
I'm not calling out every AI-generated menorah I see, just the ones from people who deserve it. Like the founder of "Gays Against Groomers" here.

From the point of view of being an Actual Historian I just find the idea of needing to be "proud" of history baffling. Identifying with the history of a nation, which is in and of itself a made up thing, is just weird. It is also something that usually corresponds with not studying history.
