oh no

By Sunday night the fever was gone and she was complaining that the hospital didn’t get WWE and she was gonna “miss my wrasslin shows!”.

the main jewish holy site, the Temple (and rly all of judea), had been conquered by the seleucid empire and repurposed into a temple for greek god Zeus. some upper class jews wanted to accept greek polytheism, letting the ancient tradition of judaism die out in favor of assimilation into empire. this of course was met with resistance from many jews, and that resistance was met with murder, subjugation, and outright religious persecution.as things in jewish history tend to go.

a large group of angry jews, largely poor farmers, who decided they werent afraid of death or imperialists or anything banded together as the Maccabees, named for the rebel leader Judah Maccabee and meaning "hammers". They fought a war against ensconced imperial forces, using largely guerrilla tactics and winning small skirmishes that built up over time into the ultimate victory: retaking the Temple and driving out the seleucids for good. as they celebrated and ritually cleansed the temple in accordance with the torah, the rebel fighters found that much had been taken or destroyed, with only one pot of oil left fit to light the Menorah, the religious lamp (which dates back to Moses himself). though there was only oil enough for one night, the lamp burned for eight nights, which was seen as a miracle and brings us back to the 8 candle lightings of modern day.

My mom was having trouble using they/them prnouns with some friends for a while. One day she said “I think the problem is that I haven’t changed the way I view their gender outside of their pronouncs which adds several extra steps in converting binary pronouns to they/them then conjugating it. So I need to shift how I see them as a gendered person entirely to make using their pronouns easier.” And since then she hardly ever messes up.
