So I guess I can say...

I'm repeating things again. I've watched Kill V. Maim a lot. It's because it has a message for me. (Maybe not the same as the one it held for the artist.) If I were too stressed out, I wouldn't be able to watch it. But I was drawn...I had some older things circulating in my brain (Beatrice D'Este, the person she married and worked with, their roles in the arts, some of the dynamics, how she died in childbirth, how he was sent to prison and what he might have done to survive before he died there). Blood. I had some more 21st century issues in my head (my own health, women's health issues, abortion rights, laws / politics). Blood. I thought about this one too: Dream Fortress. That would be more relaxing to watch, of course. I still don't know what I will be doing in the future. But I can think, isn't it amazing what people can create.  And I saw this and I went, hmmm...I want to read Break In Case of Emergency when it comes out. So I love literature and art. But I cannot go to AWP. I thought about it. I cannot, this time. Will I ever? I don't know yet.

A day off

The sounds of Beatlesque screaming girls drove me out of my apartment. They were cheering at whatever a man on a bullhorn was saying. I needed to know. I put on my shoes without socks and began walking briskly. A beautiful day. On the way, I passed three cop cars and three male cops surrounding a smaller woman in a very broken-down looking maroon car. A fit woman in exercise attire stood with a dog on a leash nearby and watched the cops and the girl; she seemed to have a worried expression on her face. I kept going towards screaming (it was dying down, but the bullhorn voice wasn't.) I got to the high school. I saw a few teenage girls milling about. The ceremony was hidden behind the buildings. From what I could understand, a voice had been awarding medals to girls and was now awarding medals to boys for track/field events. It was a sports ceremony. I turned around. Mystery solved. I once again passed the girl (or woman), now sitting on the curb with a most miserable look on her face, and the cop cars. One car was still blocking the street but the officer moved it. They were pulling blankets and pillows out of the maroon car. The blankets were a cranberry color. I didn't stop. The officers were watching the passersby, too. I kept going. The Beatlesque Girl Screaming was coming back. The Male Bullhorn Voice. Maybe the ceremony was winding down to a glorious finish. Maybe the girls cheered harder for other girls. Maybe there weren't as many boys at the ceremony. Maybe the cops were searching the maroon car for drugs. Of course there is no rule, if you are a woman, that the cops who search your car will be of your gender...

"Struggling For Equilibrium"

 Teen boys and a girl

The junk mail dilemma

The process

I want to do what is best.  Worry is so tiresome.  Worried about upper right back molar. Also, it's hard when my fear of not being treated well in a doctor's office comes back...I want more positive experiences and to feel like doctors will listen to me and respect me and be wise with me. I want to be open to the best healing experiences...a healing experience between a patient and a healer is a beautiful thing on this planet.

Beauty...let's get better

There is an underlying message  ( I believe) of love, beneath the exhausted physical state and its ailments.

We deserve love.
We deserve positive change.
We can accept our differences in ways that allow us to live more graciously.
We can recover and receive more healing.

I hope I can get better at listening to the wiser messages, for I do have a greater capacity for joy and I really want to get better at tapping into it. I do not wish to live in a way that makes me so drained and suffering from mysterious ailments so much. Even if I do get unwell for genetic imbalance reasons or because of my immune system I want live more cheerfully and heal. Sunshine...

Once again

Time flew. Where did it go...

Whine, whimper. (Achey physique).

Be happy anyway. (Otro lado.)

I am going to have a healing session with myself. Especially  for back ribs area, especially on the left, and maybe for kidneys. And just breathe and be better about healing.

Go healing energies. Or I should say, Come home along to heal me please!

At least my womb is being nicer than it was at 5 a.m....and 11 a.m...seriously. Why. Why. Why. When I finally have the motivation.

O Easter Day

Today can truly be wonderful...however, here is my first thought this morning...."balanced" is not the vibe I get from intelligent women and men who are so invested in their candidate that they refuse to acknowledge or interrogate the many components of sexism that are still at work..."fanatical devotion" is a far more accurate description.

Tonight

Tonight was not balanced enough. Sugar...salt...This Helen Keller article was interesting but sometimes I read too much. I stuff my brain. Too much food and reading. Also, I want to get better at self-expression and self-acceptance and love-acceptance. And be more clear. Clarity. Where did struggle originate? But sometimes I am not struggling. So why do I let myself go off course? And be less to myself and to others? I have helpers. But we struggle. We have our differences. Still...we can be more caring and intelligent...we can say we will be better...on earth...we can love it. It's a journey. It's a lot of lessons. We can...

We can love more and worry less.

On women politicians

I read this piece on Lena Dunham being chastised for supporting Clinton. It made me think that there are a lot of people who are interested in politics but they still don't seem to find much motivation when it comes to female politicians.

Why Does The U.S. Still Have So Few Women In Office?

If you don't like Clinton because you want Sanders more, or you think no one can live up to Obama, that's your choice, but if politics interests you, isn't it possible to find another female politician you like and could support (maybe one who isn't currently running for president)?

So many spins

Remembering a cable guy in Virginia who bragged about meeting Lynda Carter and how she spun...

I will indulge in a massive quote from this article:

"When Marston created Wonder Woman, in 1941, he drew on Sanger’s legacy and inspiration. But he was also determined to keep the influence of Sanger on Wonder Woman a secret. He took that secret to his grave when he died in 1947. 

Most superheroes didn’t survive peacetime and those that did were changed forever in 1954, when a psychiatrist named Fredric Wertham published a book called Seduction of the Innocent and testified before a Senate subcommittee investigating the comics. Wertham believed that comics were corrupting American kids, and turning them into juvenile delinquents. He especially disliked Wonder Woman. Bender had written that Wonder Woman comics display “a strikingly advanced concept of femininity and masculinity” and that “women in these stories are placed on an equal footing with men and indulge in the same type of activities.” Wertham found the feminism in Wonder Woman repulsive. 

“As to the ‘advanced femininity,’ what are the activities in comic books which women ‘indulge in on an equal footing with men’? They do not work. They are not homemakers. They do not bring up a family. Mother-love is entirely absent. Even when Wonder Woman adopts a girl there are Lesbian overtones,” he said. At the Senate hearings, Bender testified, too. If anything in American popular culture was bad for girls, she said, it wasn’t Wonder Woman; it was Walt Disney. “The mothers are always killed or sent to the insane asylums in Walt Disney movies,” she said. This argument fell on deaf ears.

Wertham’s papers, housed at the Library of Congress, were only opened to researchers in 2010. They suggest that Wertham’s antipathy toward Bender had less to do with the content of the comics than with professional rivalry. (Paul Schilder, Bender’s late husband, had been Wertham’s boss for many years.) Wertham’s papers contain a scrap on which he compiled a list he titled “Paid Experts of the Comic Book Industry Posing as Independent Scholars.” First on the list as the comic book industry’s number one lackey was Bender, about whom Wertham wrote: “Boasted privately of bringing up her 3 children on money from crime comic books.”

As it seems to me...

If you are a man, and your behavior indicates that you've been taught to value women more for looks and for how much a woman can prop up an insecure male ego, you may get away with that behavior for a time, but you are doing a disservice to yourself (and absolutely to women also) because even though you have been taught to squash it, you do also have a feminine side, and your feminine side deserves better than what you were taught. If you don't even want to admit you have one, do you honestly expect you are going to be able to treat a woman better than you treated yourself? This is a question. I suffered a lot before I could articulate that,  probably because of many messages I received, and now I am more hopeful about making my way back to health.

I like this one

Tips for certain situations

If you are a man and you can actually be a good friend to a woman then you should do that. If you can't, and the person seems worth being friends with (you know, even though she's a woman) why not figure out why so you can fix it and be better at it in the future. Women do not exist just to automatically prop up your ego, do whatever is on your agenda, etc. etc. (At least, this one doesn't think they should.)

What an ear wants

For a HEALER to take her seriously even though the pain is off and on.

It

It is an old boy's network machine. I feel It weighing on my soul recently. I'm actually also worried for those benefiting from It who don't know they are getting damaged by It, too. I want feel healthier and less crushed by It. I feel an absence of language to describe It. Exhaustion. Time to look at colors and drink something liquid (oh, water is fine) and maybe do some knitting (to put my mind on other things.) And...

Endless Summer

(Albeit briefly)

Wow and again

"Last I checked, he still had tenure." 

I read an interesting article. Now several memories (including ones from a mid-2000s grad school situation) resurface. My experience wasn't the same as this woman's but I think hers is well worth reading. And isn't it sad when you feel like you can't draw attention to certain societal problems without making people kind of hate you for doing it? Yes, that is a very sad place to be.

" I believed he wanted to talk to me because he found me smart and interesting." 

We need to become better communicators. Humans are human. Is flirtation always so awful? Maybe there are some situations where people can indulge in flirtation and have good creative outcomes, or even good relationships if they communicate well enough and if there is also RESPECT.

"Would I have deserved the scorn and trouble? Would I have deserved censure..." 

The problem, I think, is that the way the system is set up, it promotes behavior that is lacking in those very qualities.

 "...with lifetime job security and easy access..."

This is exactly the type of stuff I think about when I say tenure can be (not always is but CAN BE) terrible and unfair. Sigh. Yes we are all humans... inhabiting the SAME PLANET but living in DIFFERENT WORLDS!

I mean, I can't even. [Cries] "

Strange

I bet a man who has been groped or made to feel uncomfortable / unsafe would almost never presume to use language that indicates that he knows very well what a woman who has been assaulted goes through. Yet some women who have been groped a few times seem to feel that they have the authority to speak on behalf of women who have suffered violent, severe assault / torturous flashbacks. This is curious.

This is Elvis being asked about the war and stuff...(oh wait, this is another one, which the one the actor watched alot according to this article) 5. This scandalousness about Elvis's attraction to underage girls (and virginal ones!) 6. And hey, while we're at it:  http://www.xojane.com/issues/what-is-it-about-powerful-men-and-very-young-girls  7. This is the last song I remember the sidewalk guys singing (Elvis will do it.)

Cat meter

A cat that acted scared of me at first let me pet it through some bars. It was grayish blue. I can be a winner at the game of petting cats.

"My wife played a huge part in helping me to persevere. I was rejected from NASA's astronaut program eleven times. People get rejected twice, on average, before they're picked.

The sixth year that NASA rejected me, I crumpled up the rejection letter and threw it on the bedroom floor. I was going to quit trying, but she talked me out of it.

'Let NASA be the one to disqualify you, don't disqualify yourself,' she told me.

I was rejected eleven times. It wasn't until the twelfth time that I was selected. I was 41 when I became an astronaut. The average age of new astronauts is 34."

Will I check out the latest (by Ms. Open Marriage whose daughter wrote a tell-all book...should I read it too? Yes. The 13-year-old who was entranced by her mother's copy of Dancing In Light is not dead.)

Now planning on listening to I Am Montgomery Clift while cleaning/ paying bills (sometimes having fun inspires me to be more organized...)

Ah.

"See, this is why I don't have a full-time income. Ghosts are haunting me, they want me to write about them, and..."

"Is that so."

Well, maybe or maybe not exactly.

"Maybe you just need some rest."

Yes.

Environmental Thoughts... (S.M. & O.)

In a way it's kinda funny

Mind found yet another to add to the list:

Being tall is associated with higher income for men and being overweight is associated with lower income for women.

Funny! Like expecting to feel better from reading a math puzzles book.

"That Sanders has a son whose mother he never married has received so little attention that most people don’t even know about it. This is as it should be. But what are the chances that a woman would be given a pass under similar circumstances?"

Slim to none.

"He began by characterizing her as a 'seamstress'... ended by calling Clinton a 'sorceress'..."

Conflicted...I like both those words.

Lists are gOOd. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/seven-solutions-that-could-help-stop-rape-on-the-night-shift/  Wait a sec. I only counted SIX. Oh. Wait. Six are in bold headings. One is not. Had to fully read the article for all SEVEN STEPS. Okay. There are seven. And a film, which is the seventh bold heading, but technically that's not one of the seven steps.

Food and backaches

"Over the last six years, legislation to increase overtime for farmworkers has failed twice in California, most recently in 2012.

Gonzalez views her bill as a simple fairness measure that would give farm laborers the same employment benefits as workers for food distributors and grocers.

'This is basic human rights,' she said. 'We haven’t let the workers on farms catch up to the rest of society. It’s time we do that.'

The legislation would lower the current 10-hour day for farmworkers in half-hour increments, reaching eight hours in 2020. The standard 60-hour workweek for farmworkers also would be reduced to 40 hours.”

Boo. :-(

"While the Supreme Court heard a case on Texas' restrictive abortion laws this March, Indiana's legislature was in the process of approving an abortion bill that is arguably worse. Like Texas' HB 2 law, Indiana's HB 1337 bill also restricts women's financial access to abortions, but in order to do so, its capitalizes on ridiculous guilt-tripping. Indiana may be seen as a quiet state in the midwest, but its gross disregard for women's reproductive rights is among the worst in the nation. The state also ranks low in the promotion of social equality within the LGBT community."

"Ohio Gov. John Kasich, the latest Republican to step into the presidential fray, has widely been labeled the moderate in a GOP field that tilts sharply to the right. Climate change? It's real. Common Core educational standards? He'll take it. Medicaid expansion? Sure. Immigration reform? He's open to the possibilities. But his celebrated moderation disappears when it comes to reproductive rights. The religious * former congressman and two-term governor is a hardliner on abortion: As governor he's signed and supported some of the most stringent anti-abortion legislation in the country. "
