In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing.
You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics.
That is all.

Friendly reminder that many autistic and otherwise neurodivergent people overexplain to avoid miscommunication because we've learned the hard way that if there _is_ one, we'll probably be the one blamed for it. 😬

This is where I make a minor note that Jewish religious court commentaries have held that the actual "sin of Sodom" (that pushed the Most High to decide to smite it) *wasn't* gay sex, or even angel rape, but a girl subjected to death by scaphism for feeding the poor www.sefaria.org/Sanhedrin.10...
![The relevant text of Sanhedrin 109b from the Talmud (the world's oldest law library in existence, on matters of Jewish religious law and, historically, civil law as well).
The doom of Sodom, per this particular chapter (which details many, many other instances of Sodom and Gomorrah's general policies of "fuck the poor and we will screw visitors in EVERY way possible"):
"There was a young woman who would take bread out to the poor people in a pitcher so the people of Sodom would not see it. The matter was revealed, and they smeared her with honey and positioned her on the wall of the city, and the hornets came and consumed her. And that is the meaning of that which is written: “And the Lord said: Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great [rabba]” (Genesis 18:20). And Rav Yehuda says that Rav says: Rabba is an allusion to the matter of the young woman [riva] who was killed for her act of kindness. It is due to that sin that the fate of the people of Sodom was sealed."
In other words: Young girl was running an illegal soup kitchen (feeding the poor was actually prohibited by law). Her illegal soup kitchen was discovered, a mob dragged her into the streets, smeared honey on her, and tied her outside the city wall to be eaten alive by insects (in what amounted to an ancient Levantine version of the infamous Persian punishment of "the boats"/scaphism).
Forcing a girl to die by scaphism for the "unforgiveable crime" of *feeding the poor so they wouldn't starve* is what doomed Sodom, and by extension its continuing violations of customs and laws requiring the poor and the visitor and the refugee to be protected.
Hmmm, kind of sounds a lot like the present Dysadministration and Christian Nationalists, no?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ypwzxphp2vrumidtfscckz6l/bafkreicb3tflfwyrn6jrhsikomanqkg4u777n62yqofktd4uvvrwwodqua@jpeg)

At a certain point, a healthy text conversation with your spouse is a string of random links, a joke you can’t say aloud on public, a text asking “when do you want to leave?”, a regular comment turned into a sex joke, a sext followed by a completely different and unsexy comment, and more links.
