as an autistic jew, passover is objectively the best holiday because it's a dinner party with a script that everyone has to follow

Hey all. Just wanted to give my non-Jewish followers who might be curious about our calendar a little note.
I had a friend ask about Passover this morning, because they thought it always overlapped with Good Friday and Easter.
So, here’s the thing: The Jewish/Hebrew calendar is a lunar calendar. It doesn’t follow the Gregorian/English calendar, which follows the sun. Each of our months is 29 or 30 days long, following the lunar cycle, and the holidays fall on different says of the English calendar every year because of that. Also because of that difference, a leap year adds an entire month for us, rather than just a day, so that the seasons in which our holidays occur don’t change, since our holidays are mainly based around the seasons and not just the calendar dates.
So, because it’s a leap year—and, yes, it’s pretty much the same schedule with leap years in the Hebrew calendar as the English calendar—we’re currently towards the end of Adar 1, and Purim, the holiday we celebrate during Adar, will be celebrated during Adar 2. This also moves Passover out to late April this year.
This isn’t a very comprehensive explanation, but I thought it might be helpful or interesting to those of you who might be curious about the difference between our calendars.

You may know, if you’ve ever seen a Jewish house before Passover, it’s hard work. It really is. I try and be away from home when it’s happening. You have to clear the house of all products that contain leaven, you’ve got to clean everything, you’ve got to take out a new set of utensils and cutlery and crockery, and it is really hard work. I got somebody in England to design a special apron for Passover cleaning that read, “For this, we left Egypt?”
I used to wonder, why make Passover such hard work? And now I know: because freedom is hard work. And it has to be fought for in every generation. We have to tell and re-tell the story. We have to remind ourselves what it feels like each year to eat the bread of affliction and taste the bitter herbs of slavery.
...
Freedom is hard to attain, but it is very easy to lose. And that’s why it has to be fought for in every generation.
Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks z"tl, "In Defence of Religious Liberty," the acceptance speech at the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty award ceremony

Shoutout to those who can't get rid of chametz this year.
Those who can't clean as thoroughly as they'd like, either from sharing a living space with others or just not having the energy or ability to do so.
Those whose safe foods aren't kosher for passover.
This has been such a stressful year, and I know for me cleaning is exhausting when I'm at my best (and this year I Am Not)
So if you're stressed and anxious about cleaning, struggling with the idea of losing access to safe foods for a week, experiencing the anxiety inertia of "oh no why haven't I done anything yet and why can't I bring myself to", or just don't have the energy needed to clean, know that you're not alone 💛

Ok since I've seen a lot of people saying they haven't started yet:
START CLEANING YOUR HOUSE FOR PESACH IF YOU HAVEN'T YET. DON'T TRY TO DO IT ALL THE DAY BEFORE, IT WILL BE PAINFUL AND YOU KNOW IT!!
Alternatively, sell your chametz to a goy

99.96 percent of the year when I go to a museum: oh my gosh! Egyptian artefacts . What a complex society. Love their things with cats!
Me in the two week lead up to Pesach, staring daggers at random pharaoh 8,789’s bust, gripping the visitor’s guide in my hand: oh you fuckers.
