it’s fun that Mormonism is based off pseudo-archeology and Scientology is based off pseudo-psychiatry. By that logic the big American New Religious Movement of the 21st century is gonna be based on… pseudo-computer science?

something i've been thinking about a lot this year is that the egypt we're lead out of and the jerusalem we're looking for are like. not actual egypt and actual jerusalem. which feels obvious to say but is worth saying baldly.

and i think it's worth thinking about the fact that the letter of aristeas (3rd or early 2nd c BCE), which was written by egyptian jews to justify the translation of the torah into greek (the language spoken in egypt). by describing the process by which g-d led moses out of egypt and to the giving of torah at sinai. and then describing the project of biblical translation as one by which g-d led the translators and their jewish community back into egypt, and gave them a (greek) torah there

egypt has always been a metaphor. and so has jerusalem. and jews have had a strong connection to the story of exodus and passover across vast swathes of historical time. in which that metaphorical-ness has been central. for that whole time also.

yes, next year in jerusalem. but we can also build jerusalem where we are. and we always have.

oh this didnt post. but chag sameach everyone and i hope this year brings freedom to everyone who needs it (all of us) (frankly)

I found out about a 2022 translation of the Metamorphoses that I have not read yet (a crime), it's by Stephanie McCarter. Some reviews say it should "come with a trigger warning" and I think that's the best way to advertise a translation of Ovid.

Sad Bastard Expectations

It's 2025, and we're sadder than ever!

Maybe it's time for a Sad Bastard Cookbook sequel? Maybe a spin-off for parents of small children? Maybe both?

I'm new here. What's a Sad Bastard Cookbook?

Glad you asked! We wrote a cookbook full of judgement-free recipes you can make when you're suffering from mental illness, physical disability, poverty, or anything else late-stage capitalism throws up that makes basic self-care feel impossible. Some of the recipes were our own, some we collected from the community.

The ebook is free--you can download a copy here if you wanna check it out.

I'm a community! Or at least, a Person! Can I contribute my recipe for survival food?

YES PLEASE.

If you have a survival recipe that you make for yourself, or to feed a baby, toddler, or small child, please share that recipe here.

I’m a fan of the original Sad Bastard Cookbook—when will the new ones be here?

We really have no idea. We’re in the very early planning and writing stages of the two projects, but when we have more information, you’ll probably see it here first!
