I took the screenshot from a Twitter mutual I trust, but he was just riffing off it for a joke of his own so he may not have done a thorough investigation... I can't guarantee its authenticity. At any rate, I found it like this
I remember learning this when I was a kid! "It seemed there was only enough blah for a single night. But then, amazingly, the blah lasted for eight full nights ... and ever since then we've celebrated the Festival of the Blah!"
(it is a myth that the 19 year cycle results in perfect realignment of the Hebrew and Gregorian calendars; test it yourself with a few dates on any online conversion tool)

BTW, for a serious thought for a moment, I know the ‘depression lies’ mantra and believe it to a certain extent - though not quite internalizing it emotionally - but a few days ago I was listening to science podcast which included a dry description of the cognitive distortions characteristic of ...

So I'll hope it's ‘yes’
