Parashat Vayishlach isn’t a story about Jacob returning home a hero.
It’s a story about what happens when someone who has spent their entire life masking, surviving and running finally has to face the wreckage left behind by his own unprocessed trauma and violence.

I spend a lot of time comparing the idea of secularism in France, Belgium, and the United States.
Each system is very different and comes with its own challenges.
I can’t help but feel that all of them, however, are set up in such a way to promote Christianity as the majority culture.

Imagine being a goy and standing up and telling Jewish people they don’t know or understand their own fucking history. That Jews are ignorant and too uneducated to have correct opinions about the Jewish issue of our time that has broken families and communities. You absolute piece of trash.
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

Autistic safety requires more than just being left alone.
It requires being met - seen, heard, and understood without being corrected or managed.
It’s about knowing that when we name a need, it won’t be dismissed as overreaction or weakness.

Autistic thinkers reshape worlds.
We build structures that become foundational.
We imagine possibilities that others can’t yet see.
And then, once those ideas become normalised, the world forgets who made them.
