Dream travels

Hitched a ride on someone else's road trip when I was eight (maybe?) then came back.
Hovered around other people's houses...
Then came back.

Wonder how many of each of these types would also have an abnormal MRI.

To never be enough is a most painful message to internalize when it is conveyed to you in your own voice, replicated from others' voices for so many years.

Pain management is not free.

Some...day...I will go...

to the mountains...

Beauty!

Yes, it sometimes feels like something wants me to look at certain poems

Like A. Fulton's "From Our Mary To Me" in Dance Script with Electric Ballerina, page 7-9

I want to feel autumn in New York, the state where I spent the most time in my life before the age of eight. Met someone there, always thought we'd meet again, and was upset because I did not say someone should abruptly leave that way. Honored to know you again if you came back, but also wonder how will we know if we're supposed to talk about it and if so how long will it take? I haven't been back there in such a long time...

Is there anything better

than hot water and Epsom salts

What would you do

Watching a segment about Adnan Oktar and his kittens.

I have no idea if a muscle relaxer that expired in 2016 is gonna work but I am hopeful.

Oh boring and humbling human situation

I just ate a powerful painkiller with food I somehow transferred into my mouth because pulled a muscle in my upper left back shoulder and I am a shell of my former self with sunscreen on because swimming was not happening today not literally screaming in pain but wow.

I bet this is good though

"Still, even at my lowest weight, the PCOS symptoms didn’t stop; and suddenly, doctors were changing their tune about how to manage the condition. 'PCOS is a little-understood condition,' they’d tell me. 'It’s not linked to weight for everyone; but hey, you look great!'"

Physics, Feminism...

From Prof of Physics Chanda P-W:

"I’m now in my mid-30s, and I think all men and a not small number of women are part of a brutal patriarchal system that teaches us from a very early age to accept abuse.

I mention the change because I was extraordinarily resistant to this analysis."

The training...

From J. Luther:

"They have now participated, whether they understood it that way, in trying to clean up the past (and assure the future) of this man whom one woman says assaulted her in high school, another he made fun of in his yearbook, both to impress high school boys. They have had to listen to so many people say over the last week or so that boys assaulting girls is normal, something all boys do, and what does it really matter anyway."

"And all this is because they wanted to play basketball and their coach ended up being brought under scrutiny."

"What is this, some kind of New Age music?" 
(Home from College, East Coast X-mas, late 1990s)

feelings ♡ point of view (s)

Here on earth, people have them a lot...

http://www.moon-palace.de/tricky/nme95-3.html

"After spending so much time in awe of Tricky's lyrics, she has to think about her own writing, her own future. Plus some things are starting to annoy her about Tricky... "Like the way he stops a song right in the middle of the part where I'm enjoying it." Aren't there ways she can get her own back? She smiles. "Retribution is a pointless thing. That's not to say I can forgive and forget. I'd like to be able to, but that's not always possible." There's the baby to look after, of course. When I'd earlier asked Tricky if he had become a father this year, he took a long while to come up with "no" for an answer. Previously he'd told a journalist that Maisey was his but it was personal, nothing to do with his music, and that he wouldn't be responsible for his actions if anyone wrote "anything sneaky" about it. Martina is too worldly-wise to sound off about the responsibilities of fatherhood, but ask her how Tricky has changed since they first knew each other and her comment is brusque but pointed. "He has certainly retained a lot of child-like qualities," she says..."  ~ G. Martin

But this was kinda funny...

From: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/35605491-landwhale

"As we swung our oars the wrong way for sixty minutes, the producers (also not sweating--what sort of genetic anomalies were we dealing with here? Do New Zealanders not have sweat glands?) followed us in another boat, bellowing instructions like 'Talk about the fifth graders who hate their bodies!' and 'You're going the wrong way again, Jes; try rowing backward!' Somehow, we managed to chat about how harmful it is to idolize one body type."

"At one point, she stopped rowing for a moment and somberly confessed, 'Sometimes, I wonder how many people I harmed by being visible and part of that idealized demographic.' I surveyed her for a moment, with her golden hair slightly moving with the wind (that I certainly didn't feel) and her long and slender arms clutching her stationary paddle."

"'Well, perhaps. You are a traditionally attractive person.' I stated the obvious nonchalantly while wiping the sweat out of my eyes, trying to say it in a complimentary way. "But this has been going on for centuries and is systemic . . . y'know?' I added desperately..." (J. Baker, page 9)

When Medical Symptoms Are Dismissed as 'All in Your Head'

And treatments

"Men and women experience some diseases differently. Doctor Paula Johnson says this is alarming — because most treatments were designed for men, not women."

 ~  https://www.npr.org/2017/02/10/514153036/when-does-medicine-leave-women-behind

"The sad thing is it's even female doctors."

And their effects


"...not only as a social justice issue, but also a public health issue."

The states get grades.
https://statusofwomendata.org

(Some of the grades are better...)

Where to...

I am not a...what do they say in the media..."tech bro"...too many women have expressed how they feel belittled and disrespected by men who care less for others who might "get in their way" and more for their own egotistical gain... Sometimes I am very sad because I see how things are set up to ruin lives and kill friendships or relationships or at least make things very difficult when real issues of safety and identity are exposed...fear ruins things that might have been better. It is not just men who choose to turn a blind eye to these problems. Often women do it too, especially to preserve the status of an idol or someone with exceptional qualities society at large has chosen to admire.

"Famously, Julian used women's experience of motherhood to explore how God loves us, refering to Jesus as our Mother."

http://juliancentre.org/about/about-julian-of-norwich.html


"Although Julian's views were not typical, the authorities might not have challenged her theology because of her status as an anchoress. A lack of references to her work during her own time may indicate that the religious authorities did not count her worthy of refuting, since she was an obscure woman.[citation needed]"

Some very well-intentioned people would know how to treat others better if they truly treated themselves better...

This is timely...

"Lawson, who has a 4-year-old daughter, says she makes $9 an hour. She is heartened by strong support from other workers for the planned walkout. “Everybody’s been brave about it,” she said. “It’s time to stand up for what we believe in."

***** 

"Annelise Orleck, a history professor at Dartmouth College who has written about low-wage workers, said she knows of only one precedent in the United States to the planned McDonald’s walkout. In 1912, she said, several hundred garment workers at a corset factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan, walked off the job in a strike prompted by pervasive sexual harassment, as well as other poor working conditions. The strikers did not win all of their demands, but succeeded in winning public support and drawing attention to workplace abuses."

not so good

Thinking that males (and hey, perhaps females too) of extremely high income brackets who continue to support Trump as people who might as well be kicking poor women in the street all bloody and toothless is a very depressing place to go in the mind.

How underambitious

" As I engage in the so-called 'bull sessions' around and about the school, I too often find that most college men have a misconception of the purpose of education. Most of the 'brethren' think that education should equip them with the proper instruments of exploitation so that they can forever trample over the masses."

 ~ Martin Luther King

'"But the trouble is that intelligent, cultivated people, the very people who might be expected to have liberal opinions, never do mix with the poor. For what do the majority of educated people know about poverty?'" ~ Orwell

~~~~~

"The prevalence of obesity was found to be seven times higher among women from the lowest social class than those reared in the highest class. Later, Stunkard speculated that there were three possible relationships: obesity influences SES; SES influences obesity; or some other factor influences both."

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-gravity-weight/201809/the-body-metaphor-social-class-and-obesity

"Furthermore, in more recent years, 'virtually all social groups are increasingly affected by obesity' such that even though women of a higher SES in developed countries may still value being thin, 'our obesogenic environment may make it increasingly difficult for women of any class group' to maintain that ideal. McLaren also noted that the body, incorporating appearance, type, and behavior, can be seen as a social metaphor for a person’s status, an idea borrowed from the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu. Social class, therefore, is not just about wealth, but 'a constellation of attributes' (e.g. accent, body shape) that become highly valued.

I just find it kinda curious that after being privy to a conversation about section 8 housing (pov of people who've lived in it or have relatives who do) when I searched for more about it in the evening pretty much everything that comes up is from the landlord's pov and not the tenant's...ANYWAYS this seems to have more of a MIXTURE of povs...

sometimes it's great to go back to childhood
