Chastity Belt ~ Time To Go Home

Conversations with Heavenly Father

Quasi-inspired by Christine. Except she probably would have chosen a Sybil.

http://sibylesque.com/2014/07/15/notable-women-christine-de-pizan/

Earthly Daughter:
Oh, heavenly father, you know how in this life, I am not a man but a woman and I deal with certain things. Well, I found a brother I wanted to know better, but he took it as an opportunity to show off how important his sex life was to him. You know, just like scads of others did in the past.

Heavenly Father:
Ah, well. That is a pity. Did you take the opportunity to recite I, Being born a Woman...?

Earthly Daughter:
Not a bad idea! I never did that before either, did I?

Heavenly Father:
Ho ho ho! Poetry for the Chicken Soup Lover's Soul.

Cozy...

Coeur ~ Pinterest

my body will be up for going on a very nice nature hike (like it did just last week!) because it will not be all achey, and I will not be frantically injesting liquids and anti-inflammatory foods in between naps and hoping that if I have to reschedule dental work I can do so in a very short amount of time...

Strange glee

Cuerpo esta mejorando. Hopefully the throat will get happier and happier.

I think these folks picked a good song:  West Point Glee Club ~ "Gone Gone Gone" in LAX. This woman, Marina Arsenijevic, clearly enjoys making music with them:  Balkan Suite

But over here, this is still the main theme song:


Chastity Belt ~ Drone

So

sad to be sick. Achey upper body & shoulders, sad cough, chest, tired of this already, it's almost like a grief experience. I want some kind of white light energy to sweep over and free me from the illness / make me better.

On The Wings Of Angels

Ill-ustrative

Creative visuals about having a cold...

I'm a girl (music video) watcher

Pulled up this one because it was on the radio while in the car to go cold remedy shopping...


Monika ~ Babyboy

And then I wanted to re-visit pleasing dance sequences...


Fiona Apple ~ Paper Bag

It is time

Pinterest

to go towards that soul- healing work. On the physical level: take care of throat chest cold cough and dental work (not fun to loose fillings, get better, try to recover and not miss that appointment...) When you want to sing to yourself, your body, and to others with whom you were not exactly on the same page, the most hopeful songs (and take a break from cynicism) listen. What is healthy going to look like for you? Heal your health, your heart, your body, and find balance.

Ah...sigh

So, after going for a walk and then getting dessert (too much fro-yo) but then not feeling so great, I decided to look up "body fascism."

Found this (its kinda old.)

Then I looked up the two women. The Google results had name & "weight loss" for one and name & "hot feminist" for the other. Sigh. Body facism exists. I wasn't happier at size 8 (could insert various stories about why not here but I have no desire to relive them.) I suppose others were happier with my size, but I don't find that liberating. There are numerous opportunities for being healthy that are not apparently registering on some people's radars.

My throat is feeling tight so I hope I don't get sick.

It's something that came up.

After going through things (originally La Luz was in the background)


Chastity Belt ~ Drone

Probably will have to listen to more...

"Gather your crystals, because the sophomore album by Seattle post-punk quartet Chastity Belt fluoresces like a neon sign for a $10 palm read...lyrics veer from crass realizations like “Everything’s a joke” to repurposing a Sheila Heiti quote for the chorus of 'Drone.'"

Around all those people who don't want to hear what you have to say because they're brought up to expect praise for behaviors that you experience as prejudicial and unhealthy. Sexism as benign neglect. Disinterest in what any woman has to say about critiquing all those little actions and messages about gender roles. It's just another day... (according to Paul.)

Hah

A useful review!



Monty Python's Flying Circus - Lumberjack song

the walk

Cynical on the way in...stopped 2 x to go the bathroom...both times, 2 or 3 dudes talking to each other stopped and silently watched. I'm sorry, I didn't know my entrance would be so fascinating. What the hell were you talking about that made you have to shut up when my presence appeared, vaginas? Trudged and worried about the dark and made up a small negative song (to the tune of "I'm a Lumberjack") about gender dynamics in Hollywood: "I'm a chauvinist and I'm okay, I work all night and earn karma all day, society doesn't expect more so why should I change? I'm a chauvinist, I'll still get paid." Also, each time that thing happened with the guys, I had serious thoughts about turning back. But I kept going. I said, if I can just get there by 4:30, it won't be too dark to walk back. I was passing groups of girls and they were friendly. "Hi!" they said. Truth. All girls. Young. Passed a final group of girls and then...rocks and white cliff-face and waterfall. It was quiet and pristine. It was my first view of these particular falls, and I had the place all to myself. I breathed in cleansing ions for about ten minutes then headed back. Mood on the way out: very good. I stopped at a cabin and talked to a man and a woman about the area. He gave me a lot of helpful suggestions. I only passed a few people on the way back and they all looked happy. I was slow and took pictures of my surroundings. I didn't feel perfect, but I felt much better. Don't forget the power of nature walks.

"I’m a wheelchair user: a visibly, physically disabled woman. And my wheelchair acts as a strange sort of forcefield. People register 'disabled' before they register 'woman' and the former always overrides the latter, because in our ableist society, a disabled body is necessarily a desexualized one."

Un rêve étrange

dreamt I met an older man in a coffee shop / pharmacy type place who was interested in what I had to say and started to throw money at me...he wrote large checks and gave me a thousand dollar bill (do those exist in real life?)...then he all of a sudden grabbed me and started aggressively spraying perfume in my face...it was like a weird inverse of a girl pepper-spraying somebody...then I wrestled away from him and he started apologizing...

moving on from that (glad it was just a dream)

Had a dream that some writer in a book was lecturing me about how he respects petite women more for their athleticism.

Mysteries of Harris Burdick

Then I woke up, but if had spoken back to the text I'd say the following: 1) I really don't think "respect" has much to do with it. 2) Are you one of those guys who used to be out of shape and now you can't stand the idea of going back? In my experience, those can be the worst about judging women on physical appearances. 3) Lynne Cox, the non-petite athletic swimmer 4) I'm not gonna let your attitude ruin my ability to enjoy exercise (hiking, swimming, pilates, yoga, maybe do a 5 k or walk a half marathon)...okay four things are enough...

It's cool that youtube gives you access to a variety of female musical artists (unlike when I was a kid, and MTV was dominated by male artists and their particular views of women.) Those songs are also fun sometimes, but it's just not enough for me to be exposed only to them.

Can you even imagine

being that guy or girl who just sees a bunch of dudes drinking and laughing and goofing off and thinking "oh, that's just a bunch of happy-go-lucky dudes drinking and laughing and goofing off! nothing whatsoever to worry about here!"

Work accomplishments

who wants to tell me how cool it was that day I kept my shit together when some female police officer in training who was my coworker told me she thought that women who wore slutty clothes and got raped were asking for it...and I even said "I don't agree with you" and she said "well I don't know if I agree with me either..." Yeah...Also, when I heard some girl talking about how her friend "gets roofied a lot; she's so dumb" and clarified that this friend just goes home and wakes up with a bad headache when this happens, I didn't beat anyone...

Film

Saw the bloody Ravenous movie. I recommend it for the sensible and lovable men and women of this planet.

"Eat to live. Don't live to eat. Ben Franklin."

When some people exercise...

what a pity it is that their chauvinism doesn't burn up right along with their calories.

Paternal instinct?

The man's methods...positively stepfatherly...

"'Rosemary Kennedy, the third of Joseph P. Kennedy and Rose's nine children, was one of the most striking of all the Kennedy daughters. Yet in Rosemary: The Hidden Kennedy Daughter, excerpted in this week's PEOPLE, author Kate Clifford Larson depicts a vivacious and curvy beauty with a 'perfect smile' who was always on a diet to please her strict parents.

Once, after she put on a few pounds during the winter months, Rosemary, who was intellectually disabled, wrote to her father from boarding school, knowing he disapproved. 'I am so fond of you,' she wrote in her childish script. 'Sorry. to think that I am fat. you. think.' Joe responded to the school: 'She is getting all together too fat and I told her in no uncertain terms.'"

~Inside Rosemary Kennedy's obsession....

Because because because...

I have heard the women who say, after they lost weight, that it's sad that the world treats them better now just because of their weight loss...

I like to balance my perusal of groupon deals at pilates studios with a dose of feminism.

 From Good Girls Don't Get Fat by Robyn Silverman:

"I've always been used to people—strangers—making a fuss over Tallie. Even at five months old, she was quite engaging. But before I could smile or utter a proud 'Thank you,' the woman continued effusively, 'Look at those fat thighs! Me, oh my! Enjoy it now, honey. It's the only time fat is cute.' Then she laughed, and a woman nearby nodded in agreement.

I was thinking, of course, that the woman was an idiot. Not malicious. Just clueless. As far as I was concerned, she may as well have said, 'Fat is bad, bad little girl, and you'd better learn it now!'

Taken aback, I simply responded, 'She's a really healthy baby and doing well! We're so glad.' I wish I had said more before she smiled and continued on her way, with absolutely no recognition that what she had said was the least bit offensive. Fat-bashing in all its varied forms—criticism, exclusion, shaming, fat talk, self-deprecation, jokes, gossip, bullying—is one of the last acceptable forms of prejudice. From a very young age, before they can walk away or defend themselves, women are taught that they are how they look, not what they do or what they know. Drawing attention to a woman's 'assets' is usually the stuff of tabloid fodder, accompanied with a compulsory snicker or 'wink, wink.' Butt. Boobs. Legs. Think Betty Grable famously insuring her legs for a cool million, or the more current Mariah Carey upping the ante to a whopping $1 billion. The message is clear: A girl's body, stripped down to its 'perfect' parts, slapped with price tags, carries a higher value than anything else she possesses."

Ah ha, a creepy movie to watch

My yarn issue

I have a skein that has fallen apart into three chunks. The last two are more or less together (like two messy mini-skeins) but the one closest to my work is knotted and tangled. I keep trying to untangle the knots but it doesn't work and I have to just knit up to it and let it unravel.

Because...

I still find it odd that whole segments of the population are expected to change their names when they grow up. If half the women changed their names and half the men changed their names, that would seem equal, but that's usually not what happens. 

Even though getting young, healthy women to pass Ranger School is an interesting development, there is still a massive psychological underhaul a lot of people have to go through.

Was there a feminist curriculum in schools when I was growing up? No there was not.

what if there's lots of people in the world who are highly successful at making money but they've had to cram themselves into a certain system and in order to become successful they have had to squelch their feminine side too much, which makes them kind of sick, but not obviously, but like a functioning alcoholic can still function, yet the overuse of alcohol will not be kind on the body and it might also affect certain other aspects of life...

Bread face

$$ for cheerleaders

possible outcomes:
"finally, she had the funds, so she ran away to a lesbian feminist cult and founded a bank on the isle of yoni worship"
OR BETTER: A HOSPITAL!!!!

Yeah. You fight for what is Right and Best:

"The women made no more than $1,800 a season while the team rakes in $256 million in yearly ­revenue, the case states.

The Bills plan to appeal the ruling, according to a spokesperson.

When an oldie is not a goodie.

something happy

When your friend needs an energy healer and she gets a sign that she found a good one!

Coffee

TODAY IS A COFFEE DAY.

Coffee with Vincent on pinterest from a blog

Many a successful artist has shared this or the equivalent: "Just because you go through hard things doesn't mean you made good art..." a statement which, in and of itself, despite or maybe because it has been so oft repeated, could almost be art...
And so are these.

Go Back To Prague
Put A Bird On It

World outside

When it was dark, there was a dream. Child's voice: But it's not fair. Elder voice: Let's see what the world has to offer. It feels like meditation is coming. The mountains are coming. There are energies from the mountains that are going to make their pathways inside of peoples' homes.

Representative

Sometimes life is like an opened-up, shredded aloe leaf...

okay

The fluid tears are here again. Yourself in your things, tiny baby in NICU, another baby's daddy in a hospital for tests, and the pretense of it's all okay falls away. Then rebuild, of course, but no doubt the tears will return. More is to come. Tears are here for reasons.
