Oh youtube, I give in too easily sometimes.

After about one minute, I concluded that
only a very desperate, rigidly heterosexual woman would prefer Joe Rogan or whoever that other dude is being insecure misogynist assholes over Tess Holliday being fabulous. She is 5,000 times more attractive inside and out than they will ever be. Poor oppressed, offended Joe. Maybe Rubens ditched him in another life.

Ooooooh

Cedar tree

I found something.

https://momastery.com/blog/2011/05/28/our-cedar-tree/

And breath more deeply

Deeply...

https://www.thecut.com/2018/12/what-deep-breathing-does-to-your-body.html

Because one person's treasure is another person's sad reminder of injustice and inequality and that's not how it was supposed to be.

Think of something nice

The smell of cedar.

We deserve a better year

We cry.
We feel things.
We wait on test results.
We chew holes in t-shirts.
We feel sad when the holes show.
We have slippery health problems.
We need to save money on clothes...
We can't afford to be victims of our sensitive genetics.

It's just weird because

I have driven on so many of those roads.

Well, some are like that sometimes

More from what I read...

"She blinked back the flood of tears she’d been holding since God knows when. She said, 'It’s just, when he has Fox, he has Obama to hate. If he doesn’t have that ...' She kept looking over her shoulder. She was terrified of him. 'I’m sorry,' she said. 'I just need him to have Fox.' I got out of my van."

"The neighbor with the possible attack dogs wasn’t home. The next-door neighbor wasn’t either. But I looked up his account. I got lucky. He didn’t have TV service. I pulled up his modem on my laptop, perfect signal. There was an attenuator where the cable connected to his house-wiring to tamp down the signal — too much is also a problem. I got enough running a line from the neighbor’s house to theirs so the asshole would be able to get his rage fix from Hannity. I remember leaving a note on the neighbor’s door, some ambiguous lie about their internet service being urgent."

~L. Hough, I Was A Cable Guy...

Woke & read something

It is called "I Was A Cable Guy..."

"On paper, the way we were rated, I was a terrible employee. That I was a damn good tech didn’t matter. The points were what mattered. The points, I’m realizing now, were why I spent the better part of 10 years thinking about bathrooms.

The guys could piss in apartment taprooms, any slightly wooded area, against a wall with their van doors open for cover, in Gatorade bottles they collected in their vans. I didn’t have those options. And most customers, I wouldn’t ask. If I had to pee, I had to drive to a 7-Eleven or McDonald’s or grocery store, not all of which have public bathrooms. I knew every clean bathroom in the county. I knew the bathrooms with a single stall because the way I look, public bathrooms aren’t always safe for me either. But they don’t plant a 7-Eleven between the McMansions of Great Falls. One bathroom break and I was already behind."

Book club?

"Milkman deals in industrial-strength estrangement and depersonalization. And depersonalization is central to its plot—though really it’s less a plot than a setup whose foundations are obsessively deepened over the course of about 370 pages—which concerns a particularly insidious and creepy campaign of sexual harassment and its disastrous ramifications. The 18-year-old narrator is marked out in her community as an eccentric for her habit of walking everywhere with her face hidden in the pages of 19th-century novels. ('I did not like twentieth-century books, because I did not like the twentieth century,' she explains, not unreasonably.) Out of nowhere, like a human malediction, appears a paramilitary potentate..."

To dream of kids surviving a tidal wave

"What’s gone from the internet, after all, isn’t 'truth,' but trust: the sense that the people and things we encounter are what they represent themselves to be. Years of metrics-driven growth, lucrative manipulative systems, and unregulated platform marketplaces, have created an environment where it makes more sense to be fake online — to be disingenuous and cynical, to lie and cheat, to misrepresent and distort — than it does to be real. Fixing that would require cultural and political reform in Silicon Valley and around the world, but it’s our only choice. Otherwise we’ll all end up on the bot internet of fake people, fake clicks, fake sites, and fake computers, where the only real thing is the ads."

They were not the white people from Canada types of immigrants.

Lesson

Entitled people who misuse their power and mistreat others are that way because they are very insecure and are mistakenly trying to compensate for feeling weak inside. Some of them do it because they act out abusive childhood patterns they never properly healed from...Some even could have been trustworthy if they had made different choices.

" For the tech overlords of Silicon Valley, an 'entrepreneur' is someone innovative and savvy, who 'moves fast and breaks things.' The entrepreneur alone creates his company’s exorbitant wealth — not his workers, nor any taxpayers who may fund the innovations his company sells. (Elon Musk, for example, has received nearly $5 million in government subsidies). It’s a very useful concept for billionaires: after all, why redistribute that wealth, through taxes or higher wages, to those who didn’t create it?"

You don't remember that time your mother came to the library and I thought it was kind of funny to watch her watching me and the people I was with, but then she seemed horrified and left because actually she's kind of a xenophobe.

I got some relief

And a song in my head about a "smooth criminal. "

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Luther_King_Jr.

"His mother was an accomplished organist and choir leader who took him to various churches to sing, and he received attention for singing "I Want to Be More and More Like Jesus". King later became a member of the junior choir in his church.[12]

King said that his father regularly whipped him until he was 15; a neighbor reported hearing the elder King telling his son "he would make something of him even if he had to beat him to death." King saw his father's proud and fearless protests against segregation, such as King Sr. refusing to listen to a traffic policeman after being referred to as "boy," or stalking out of a store with his son when being told by a shoe clerk that they would have to "move to the rear" of the store to be served.[13]

When King was a child, he befriended a white boy whose father owned a business near his family's home. When the boys were six, they started school: King had to attend a school for African Americans and the other boy went to one for whites (public schools were among the facilities segregated by state law). King lost his friend because the child's father no longer wanted the boys to play together.[14]

King suffered from depression through much of his life. In his adolescent years, he initially felt resentment against whites due to the "racial humiliation" that he, his family, and his neighbors often had to endure in the segregated South.[15] At the age of 12, shortly after his maternal grandmother died, King blamed himself and jumped out of a second-story window, but survived.[16]

King was initially skeptical of many of Christianity's claims. At the age of 13, he denied the bodily resurrection of Jesus during Sunday school.[17] From this point, he stated, "doubts began to spring forth unrelentingly."[18][17] However, he later concluded that the Bible has "many profound truths which one cannot escape" and decided to enter the seminary.[17]"

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Luther_King_Jr.

************

"In his third year at Crozer, King became romantically involved with the white daughter of an immigrant German woman who worked as a cook in the cafeteria. The daughter had been involved with a professor prior to her relationship with King. King planned to marry her, but friends advised against it, saying that an interracial marriage would provoke animosity from both blacks and whites, potentially damaging his chances of ever pastoring a church in the South. King tearfully told a friend that he could not endure his mother's pain over the marriage and broke the relationship off six months later. He continued to have lingering feelings toward the woman he left; one friend was quoted as saying, "He never recovered."[28]"

Lemme guess, just like with some poor people, some wealthy people had a shallow abusive untrustworthy parent who instilled fear in his family and mostly valued children and women for selfish, superficial reasons.

Now, some of the guy's outwardly privileged but inwardly deprived offspring, who never got substantial healing from their childhood wounds,  just continue the patterns of dad, as is apparent in their words and actions.

Really good

I love my friend so much for being her flawed and brave self, for coming back and talking to me even though we were seperated by death, and for making me believe she can come back in another way. What an unexpected person she was! Its easier now, when I think of her. Instead of agony and loss, if I think of her I feel peace and serenity.

"Lila, however, is furious. 'They take Ada, and we stay quiet, because they're just going to kiss?' she exclaims, incredulous. Cerullo makes another good point, telling Lenu, "
'Pinuccia Carracci, who's beautiful — they've never bothered her. You know why they act like this with Ada? Because she's poor — she doesn't count.' In other words, poor girls like them are in a dangerous position, because the elder boys view them as an easy target because they literally do not matter in the grand scheme of things."

Juan "He’s Built an Empire, With Detained Migrant Children as the Bricks" Sanchez has a story to tell, too.

"Juan Sanchez grew up along the Mexican border in a two-bedroom house so crowded with children that he didn’t have a bed. But he fought his way to another life. He earned three degrees, including a doctorate in education from Harvard, before starting a nonprofit in his Texas hometown.

Mr. Sanchez has built an empire on the back of a crisis. His organization, Southwest Key Programs, now houses more migrant children than any other in the nation. Casting himself as a social-justice warrior, he calls himself El Presidente, a title inscribed outside his office and on the government contracts that helped make him rich."

Nero did some good things.

"...there is evidence that Nero enjoyed some level of popular support. He had a passion for music and the arts, an interest that culminated in a public performance he gave in Rome in A.D. 65."

'He let slip no opportunity for acts of generosity and mercy, or even for displaying his affability,' wrote the otherwise critical Suetonius in the 2nd century A.D. "

https://www.livescience.com/40277-emperor-nero-facts.html

I still think his ghost needs to exeunt.

https://www.history.com/topics/ancient-history/nero

"In the four months following his return to Rome in February 68, his delirious pretensions as both an artist and a religious worshipper aroused the enmity not only of the Senate and those patricians who had been dispossessed by him but also of the Italian middle class, which had old-fashioned moral views and which furnished most of the officers of the army. Even the common soldiers of the legions were scandalized to see the descendant of Caesar publicly perform onstage the parts not only of ancient Greek heroes but of far lower characters. 'I have seen him onstage,' Gaius Julius Vindex, the legate who rebelled against him, was to say, 'playing pregnant women and slaves about to be executed.'”

“The White Man’s Burden”: Kipling’s Hymn to U.S. Imperialism


So apparently, even in the 2000-teens, if you are placed at the top in a system of patriarchy and never get any sort of help for how that must mess with your psyche, you are still too prone to abuse your so-called materialistic "power"...Yet some of these abusive people walk around with what seems to be an enormously painful victim complex that makes them mistrust most people, treat employees and families abusively, and continuously sabotage what might have been joyful relationships and connections with others due to fear, trauma, suspicion, dishonesty and controlling / bullying behavior patterns...

Why so much unnecessary discord? Maybe it came from early childhood lessons?

But even so, what a bright soul who was a child once and really did want to live well and be loved and love others and work with all kinds of people to make our sojourn on the planet better...who could listen to and work well with others...What is the solution? Find your soul and take better care of it, perhaps.

Just because so-and-so was a jerk to you or to other people, didn't receive enough (if any) therapy or treatment, & repeated what he didn't unlearn from his elders doesn't mean you have to follow the same abusive behavior patterns. Lots of patterns get broken. Happens all the time!

Type why

I once lived with a self-proclaimed "Type A" who was more inclined to yell at you after a scary car crash (air bags! totalled! only a slight reprieve when officer said it wasn't my fault! chastising me for forgetting to collect change from the car!) than to make sure you were okay.

Why be like that? Because his dad was a jerk?

And is this a "Type A" who acts like he wants to be happy?
