I mentioned I was learning Hebrew on a language learning YouTube video. Then the aholes crawled out of the woodwork to tell me biblical Hebrew was dead and modern Hebrew was fake. 🙄

I think this is so cool and it's awesome they're streaming games for free! I also think it's incredible that this picture is the one they used to advertise the opening day. It's like those videos where someone threatens the camera while their partner shows off their collection of rocks they found.

[sheydyflora]

Well... Looks like I've gotta get some baseball merch and actually become a fan now...

I'm writing my symptoms down in case I get sicker and have to go to the hospital.

Light sensitivity and parethesia. My eyes feel swollen and that tingly burn like when you get pepper on your lips.

Exhaustion, fatigue, weakness. Comes and goes. I can be fine one minute and shaky legged the next.

Sensation of the room spinning levels of dizziness without it actually spinning. Then bouncing back to perfect mental clarity.

I had stabbing stomach yesterday. Broke into a cold sweat while eating. Stomach pain. Weakness. I could eat today though.

Now I'm cold like my temperature regulation quit on me... And the back of my neck is really tight. Slight nausea. Eye pain comes and goes.

Update: Still alive. Still got symptoms. Last night I had a terrible migraine and a dull throbbing is still present this morning. On the brighter side, I think another part of my back popped into place. I still feel like I have the flu without having the flu...

Update: dull throbbing headache, more fatigue. Spent most of the day in bed, heading back to bed soon.

Todays Daf explores the commandment to not slaughter an offspring with its parent. Originating in Vayikra, this prohibition has been interpreted as forbidding the slaughter of a parent and child animal within 24 hours of each other. The Mishna expounds on this, stating that this is a commandment that applied to slaughter of all animals, in all laces and times.

The distinction mentioned here by the Mishna is unique, as there exists many leniencies within shchita dependent of factors like the Temple standing, the consecration of a given animal, and the species of animal in question. This gives a particular type of moral weight to this Halacha, in my opinion. Most rules of kashrut have a popular association with morality or hygiene, but in reality are purely theological commandments with no rational or moral basis. This law, however, reflects a type of timeless mercy that is crucial to how humans interact with the other living beings we consume.

I feel like being chronically ill should exempt me from having periods. I just don't think I should have to deal with both
