Word of the day...lumpenprole?
As in
"Why, then, isn’t everybody jumping all over this? A methodology that can reverse runaway atmospheric carbon while churning out hamburgers is the planet’s Golden Ticket. But the lumpenprole press has yet to take notice."

Oh dream
Dream, dream, that a lousy dream in the morning. Not the worst dream, but definitely not the best. LOUSY. Now to get on with the rest of the day. Ugh. BLEAH. YUCK.
Marshall seems to feel a lack of attention lately.
(I thought about saying marshallmarshallmarshall! but that would req. 3 links, so no)
Literally, I can't fix anything by donning a bikini.

I'm not such a horror movie type, but I read about this one that came out today and went, hmmm....
"...the Girl’s look, which conjures up the “Papa Don’t Preach” music video..."

more quiet focus
As I looked at trees last weekend, a homeless man told me that he's a birdwatcher who thinks about geology. He said, "there's a lot to see." After that, I was disturbed by a recurring dream of a skinny blond girl who was all tied up and oppressed. I thought about it while driving on highways. One day before I left for work, a neighbor said that cigarette smoke crawled through a vent into her apartment. She came out to find the washing machine yanked out, and a skinny blond girl with her hair done up was sauntering down the sidewalk. A white flower from a bush across the way was snipped off and laying by the concrete step. I picked it up and put it in a little tupperware dish of water. It's been there for days. It's still happy.

And after reading http://boogiewoogieflu.blogspot.com/2007/04/slim-gaillard.html, thought that the "taken in by a nutcase" aspect of the test card girl anecdote was all the more reason to view the rest of the documentary!

there's an annoying cluster of black (and red and green and blue) lines all up and down one side of the TV screen, which apparently got damaged somehow, (and it's more annoying where there's closed captioning) this documentary is capturing my interest: The Island President.

"Anti-abortion measures pose a risk to all pregnant women, including those who want to be pregnant."
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/08/opinion/pregnant-and-no-civil-rights.html
"Based on the belief that he had an obligation to give a fetus a chance for life, a judge in Washington, D.C., ordered a critically ill 27-year-old woman who was 26 weeks pregnant to undergo a cesarean section, which he understood might kill her. Neither the woman nor her baby survived."
"In Louisiana, a woman who went to the hospital for unexplained vaginal bleeding was locked up for over a year on charges of second-degree murder before medical records revealed she had suffered a miscarriage at 11 to 15 weeks of pregnancy."
"Florida has had a number of such cases. In one, a woman was held prisoner at a hospital to prevent her from going home while she appeared to be experiencing a miscarriage. She was forced to undergo a cesarean. Neither the detention nor the surgery prevented the pregnancy loss, but they did keep this mother from caring for her two small children at home. While a state court later found the detention unlawful, the opinion suggested that if the hospital had taken her prisoner later in her pregnancy, its actions might have been permissible."

"What did it mean that my mother had to break the law to end a pregnancy? It meant that America basically said to her: It’s the twentieth century, so we’re going to let you vote and go to college, and have a family and a job—not a great job, not the one you wanted, because unfortunately that job is for men—and your own charge accounts at Bonwit’s and Altman’s and your own subscription to the Heritage Book Club, but underneath all that normal, forward-looking, mid-twentieth-century middle-class New York life is the secret underground life of women, and that you must manage outside the law. If you are injured or die or are trapped by the police, you’ll only have yourself to blame, because the real reason you are here on Earth is to produce children, and you shirk that duty at your peril."

WORDS
"I don't mean to say men are the criminals and women are the victims — it's not like that at all — but men can be quite disengaged with this issue. I've been to a lot of conferences about reproductive rights. And the only men you ever see there are gay. Why is that? You don't see a lot of activism on the part of men.
Why is that?
Because it affects them less directly. It's not their body. I put out a call for abortion stories when I was beginning to write this book. There were so many that said, "I told him I was pregnant and I never heard from him again," or, "He said it wasn't his," or, "He wouldn't come with me to the clinic," or, "I came home and he wanted to show me the clothes he bought that day." That's one thing I liked about [the film] Obvious Child — he's taking care of her and being nice and they're going through this experience together."

"Can you be a pro-life feminist?
You can be a pro-life feminist for yourself. You can say, "I would never have an abortion," and then when you got pregnant, you never would have an abortion — because a lot of people who say, "I would never have an abortion" actually have abortions. But I don't think you can restrict freedom for women in such a fundamental way and be a feminist."

Shapes
 |
| http://www.gameparts.net/backgammon_pieces.htm |
Had a strange dream about a game (about kids and sexism?) A girl and a boy play a game supervised by some elders. The boy gets five points. His points are shaped like long wide popsicle sticks. A girl gets two points. Her points are two circles, like backgammon pieces. In the meantime, the boy gets his points doubled. So they are starting out in the game with 2 round points for her and 10 long wide points for him. He feels pretty good. She looks at him, like, how can she catch up? (Even if her points get doubled she'll just have four, and in the meantime he'll get fifteen).
You can be a winner at the game of life...
