A Brief Absence: May You Be Sealed [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2023-09-24

Given I’ve been a lot more active recently, I wanted to give notice to folks who may notice me missing over the next day or two that I have not been kidnapped by angry ostriches, nor murdered by an axe-wielding maniac. And unfortunately I have not been spirited away by Meryl Streep with love on her mind.



No, it’s Yom Kippur, and as I’m unable to complete the traditional fast from food and drink for medical reasons, I choose instead to fast from technology. For the next 26 hours or so I’ll use only my alarm clock, a livestream for Yom Kippur services, and Spotify for liturgical music and white noise for sleep. All other electronic distractions, bits, and baubles will be shut off, shut down, and logged off.



To my fellow Jews: may your fast be easy and meaningful, and may you be sealed.



To the gentiles of KOS: y’all behave while I’m gone. I’ll see you on the flip side.
