Over the weekend, this card was shown in a certain moment and drew unexpected tears....things happen...On another day, the universe sent a message about going to a eldercare home to help people....all a part of having an experience of living on this planent...possibly might try to get the deck that had that card...

"Between student debt and exploding household debt, Americans are being buried in fiscal promises they will never be able to keep. It is the definition of a rigged system. Debt is the ultimate social control — until it’s not, and we recognize the pernicious reality and throw the yoke off our shamed, slumped shoulders.
While the corporate news media does its best to mock Yang’s proposal of $1,000 a month in universal income, they neglect to mention that in his last book 'Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community' that's exactly what Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. called for."

"Deep ecology’s notion of a finite carrying capacity for Earth discounts the powerful role—and extensive track record—of human ingenuity in finding natural resources or innovating new technologies to replace or expand their supply.

I hope I feel better about this real real real real soon
For nearly seven hours I have been drinking water and I am waiting to prick my finger for an at home blood test. I need to do it early so it can dry and be sent in the mail. Then I will hopefully get information from the test within a few weeks. But I have not even performed the finger prick test on myself yet. Why am I living this life? Why does no one else in my family have this thing I have? Why is it so hard to exist sometimes? Why did I even order this test. I guess I am curious. I felt I had to order it. Why now and not seven years ago. How does a handful of years go by so fast. Yesterday I made plans, left the apartment, got in the car, realized I couldn't drive anywhere, called to cancel, and then came back inside to change my clothes. I was wearing too many layers, I thought. It was unsettling to wear so many layers. I put on a t-shirt and loose pants. There. That made you feel better, didn't it? There is going to be something good happening in the future again somewhere down the line.

X: And I also saw a family, you know, like a man, a wife, kids...They had "strong family values." They grew food on the land and now they were getting ready to eat...they were bowing their heads to pray.

Hellooo
If you're one of those who has been mediocre with women and unnecessarily treated the women in your industry very poorly, now you can start figuring out why and how to fix it. Make positive changes that respect your soul. Your disrespect of them was a reflection of your treatment of a part of yourself, too. You can even ask yourself, "How did I learn this was okay? Why have other women made excuses for my disappointing and foolish behavior for so long. What was the trade off for them?" And "How can I be healthier human being in the future?" This is for your self, too. It is good for you to learn how to be a better person.

A hopeful woman
"Every month, Huck makes the rounds of homeless encampments in Chatsworth, delivering clothing, food, supplies and spiritual support. On the day of the protest, she showed up to answer questions residents might have.
“They told me, ‘We’re worried about how are we going to monitor what they’re doing?’” Huck said, shaking her head at the irony: As if homeowners are the only ones entitled to privacy.
“I understand their side,” she insists. They worry about trash, disorder, falling property values.
But the way she sees it, that’s not much different from what people thought 50 years ago, when her father tried to use his GI Bill to move their family into a suburban neighborhood near Chicago.
“No white family would sell to us,” she recalled. “They thought blacks would bring the neighborhood down. When I see that same resistance here to homeless people, it hurts me personally.”
Still Huck is hopeful, because she’s seen standoffs resolved."

A lot needs to change...
"Hidden within the world of homelessness has always been a subset of individuals, usually single parents, with jobs; what’s different now is the sheer extent of this phenomenon. For a widening swath of the nearly seven million American workers living below the poverty line, a combination of skyrocketing rents, stagnant wages, and a lack of tenant protections has proved all but insurmountable."

There's another day of learning coming up
Born in a body and learning from a body.
There's nothing like a few days of ill health and pain management to make you think, gee, if I hadn't had this and this benefit in my life, would I be homeless or maybe even not alive here on Earth anymore by now?
I think of a relative who might have had something similar to my problems...she was addicted to pain pills, often angry, and always felt misunderstood.
Now I think, "I am sorry the medicine could not help you more."
I can go on the internet and research all about alternative treatments and herbal tinctures. I can find multiple remedies to try from different websites and listen to podcasts. I can find out about people who have somewhat similar problems and not feel so alone sometimes. What if she had had that?
She didn't have such easy access to that kind of information.

Two Words: Black Cohosh
"This herb was widely used by eastern Native American tribes including the Cherokee, Iroquois, Penobscot and Micmac. These tribes #1 use of Black cohosh was for the relief of pain. In 1749 von Linne describes it as an herb for female debility and pain relief, as well as a cardiac (heart) tonic and uterine tonic. It appears in botanical literature as early as 1680. Black cohosh was used extensively by the Eclectics for women’s muscular pains, uterine pain, tender uterus, irregular pains, and dysmenorrhea. This herb was also widely used as a mild sedative."

"During the Depression, our economic problems were being blamed, like always, on the immigrants. The Hoover administration had a policy of “real jobs for real Americans,” and since people of Mexican descent were not considered real Americans, between one and two million of them were deported in cattle cars to Mexico. A majority of them were citizens from the United States, and among them was my grandfather.
His deportation broke up my family. My father was raised without a father, and the pain of this forced separation haunts our family to this day.
I have relatives I didn't even know I had. I recently met one of my father’s sisters, who is now in her 90s. She was born in the United States and she doesn't speak English anymore. When I see families being separated on the border today, I know that the pain they generate will last for generations. So my idea for “El Norte” was born in the middle, at the border, but I understood that the border was simply part of a process. The story had to go deeper into Latin America, so you could understand the world where the people came from and why they had to leave it, as well as go deeper into el Norte—the United States—so that people could understand what happens to them after they arrive.

Words at breakfast
"Everything you eat has been touched by a refugee or undocumented person. Everything. Our buildings are built by the undocumented. Our food is picked by the undocumented. Our children are cared for by the undocumented. [Trump’s golf course] hires the undocumented. This is central to our society, and it’s integrated into our society. If you deport everybody, the whole economy of the United States would collapse."

Another movie I have not seen...
is El Norte for some reason.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Norte_(film)
I never saw this movie but when I was young I passed by it many times in the video store. I think my stepfather and mother commented it, as if they felt it was a very good film.
Last month I was walking around a campus with a woman who wanted to find a job in the film industry after she got her degree but could not because she was undocumented. Now she has the preferred legal status but has moved on to other things. We admired a lot about the campus--it was our evening's entertainment, and her alma mater. At one point, she commented on all the students whose parents can pay for them to go to such a fine school...how could they fail? she asked.

Three lives...ideas...
One lived in a canyon with a dog as a companion. Spells of poor health made it difficult for him to hold a job. The medical community had been unhelpful, so he did not go to them for treatment. Two became adept at pleasing the most highly insecure set of people she had ever met and walked that path for a while. Details? Details. Three found another way of being in the world. How did she do that...
This "ask" idea
"In her 2018 book Ask Me About my Uterus, Abby Norman initially defies the odds as a newly emancipated minor from an abusive home by earning a scholarship to Sarah Lawrence. She desperately wants to stay at the only place she’s ever felt at ease—but as doctors continue to dismiss her pain and misdiagnose her Endometriosis, she can no longer keep up with classes and is forced to quit college and dancing."

Medical drama.
Who needs awareness about this?
"There remain a slew of women’s health issues that are underfunded and lack awareness—and medical sexism remains rampant. Most of the medications on the market today were developed without any consideration for women’s bodies: The NIH did not mandate that all pre-clinical research include female subjects until 2016, and the FDA only stopped excluding women from trials in 1993."

She recalled her biggest regret in her time at the magazine is having had Aparicio only on the Mexico cover and not the Latin America issue.

The attention of two
"There are competing explanations for the rise in inequality. Those on one side argue that wealth concentration is natural as a result of globalization, technology gains, and economic growth, which give enormous rewards to the smartest, innovative, and most hardworking people. Drastically increasing tax rates, they say, would discourage innovation and hurt the economy.
The other camp sees rising inequality as unfair, immoral, and a threat to society.
Saez and Zucman are firmly in the second camp."
~ N. Krishan
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/economy/the-berkeley-economists-advising-both-warren-and-sanders-on-their-groundbreaking-wealth-tax-proposals
"The American economy just doesn’t function very well when tax rates on the rich are low and inequality is sky high. It was true in the lead-up to the Great Depression, and it’s been true recently. Which means that raising high-end taxes isn’t about punishing the rich (who, by the way, will still be rich). It’s about creating an economy that works better for the vast majority of Americans.
In their book, Saez and Zucman sketch out a modern progressive tax code."

https://mobile.twitter.com/nithyavraman/status/1179815242521628672
"Feuer recalled and quashed nearly 150,000 city warrants, and moved to dismiss about 800,000 pending years-old infraction citations. Lacey took action to dismiss 248,000 county warrants and dismiss roughly 900,000 pending infraction citations — more than half of which are older than 10 years, she said.
Gary Blasi, a retired UCLA professor who specializes in researching homelessness, said erasing warrants and citations will have significant impact on people who can see a bench warrant spiral into a situation that prevents them from getting a job or housing."

“' I felt called to this,' Morrison says now."
"Morrison won a fellowship to further her studies, checked out mental health programs in other U.S. cities, and traveled to a town in Belgium where families “foster” adults with mental illness. Last year, she gave notice to the property owners group that she’d be leaving her job in February to devote her full attention, unpaid, to her cause."
"But it was a trip to Trieste, on the uppermost rim of the Adriatic in Northern Italy, that turned her despair into hope."

Happy Anniversary of some terrible unnecessary action that someone has done to someone, somewhere, surely.

"At some point, customers started sticking dollar bills to the ceiling — a nice trick in a two-story-high room (hint: it involves a thumbtack and the weight of a silver dollar). Every February, Wall takes down the money and uses it to throw a free feast to all comers. In Adami’s day, it was a liver feed, but Wall has branched out to buffalo burgers, crawdads and more."

How did it end up this way
What a time to feel tired.
There are people who came to the planet as beautiful innocent souls and then got corrupted by years of poor choices and bizarre circumstances and never healing from abuse and investing in materialistic things instead of healthy relationships and that soul is hiding under the mask in tatters...The sadness is almost unreal.
This is why people get religious, surrender, go into seclusion.

And for my internalized patriarch
Kellyanne should actually listen to her husband.
"The people have a right to know, and a need to see. Many people have watched all of Trump’s behavior, and they’ve drawn the obvious conclusion. They know something’s wrong, just as football fans knew that the downed quarterback had shattered his leg. Others have changed the channel, or looked away, or chosen to deny what they’ve seen. But if Congress does its job and presents the evidence, those who are in denial won’t be able to ignore the problem any longer. Not only because of the evidence itself, but because Donald Trump will respond in pathological ways—and in doing so, he’ll prove the points against him in ways almost no one will be able to ignore."

This Is What High Schoolers Like Me Are Learning... by J. Melnik
"My peers and I fear coming forward to report any forms of sexual violence because we have no effective recourse. When I was in 9th grade, I was sexually harassed by a group of boys. When I came forward to report my harassers, I was scrutinized by my peers, who told me that I was 'ruining their reputations' and that it was 'just a joke.' I regretted my decision almost instantly. My decision to report came so easily when I was calling 911 in a panicked fear that somebody was violating the safety of my home. But I did not have the same confidence reporting my harassers."

"I will not be silenced. I will not let my younger sister be told that her experiences should be swept under the rug so that her male friends can get their prep school scholarships and their football scholarships, while she sits in silence and fear of coming forward.
Adults; The #TimesUp for you to address these issues in your young people’s lives. Silence is complicity. This issue is not a liberal or conservative issue; it is a moral issue. We are all watching history being written before our eyes; please do not be on the wrong side of it."

Learning opportunities
"Yes, we have inspiring examples, famous and non-famous, whom we can point to. But with social mobility decreasing, unthinkable amounts of wealth being held by just a tiny percentage of the population, and with an upswell in racism and bigotry across the western world, it stretches credulity to breaking point to suggest hard work is all that is needed for success.
Maybe, just maybe, if we as adults actually started practising what we preached then our children wouldn’t need to go on strike and could instead focus on their own futures. But for the time being, with the adult world so filled with hypocrisy and inaction, I’m glad we have an ever increasing group of young people who aren’t listening to their elders, and instead are being seen and heard."

Rigged game
Even with a board game....
"After 15 minutes, the experimenters asked the subjects to discuss their experience of playing the game. When the rich players talked about why they’d won, they focused on their brilliant strategies rather than the fact that the whole game was rigged to make it nearly impossible for them to lose. 'What we’ve been finding across dozens of studies and thousands of participants across this country,' said Piff, 'is that as a person’s levels of wealth increase, their feelings of compassion and empathy go down, and their feelings of entitlement, of deservingness, and their ideology of self-interest increases.'"

Women, Cleaning, Climate Change
"12 minutes. Of my time. That I’ll never get back. I briefly considered these 12 minutes multiplied by thousands of 'this is on you' instances required to get through each of my days and began to understand acutely why so many women are running against the clock from the moment we wake up.
What might not be so clear, because it wasn’t to me that night, is: Why was this on me?
Why domestic work falls to women
The answer came to me 12 minutes later when I returned to our bedroom after cleaning up the mess in the front yard, still wearing rubber gloves: Seth was not valuing my time equally to his."
~ E. Rodsky

"From sinking islands to drought-ridden savannas, women bear an outsize burden of the global—warming crisis, largely because of gender inequalities. In many parts of the world, women hold traditional roles as the primary caregivers in families and communities, and, as the main providers of food and fuel, are more vulnerable when flooding and drought occur; the U.N. estimates 80% of those who have been displaced by climate change are women.
Given their position on the front line of the climate-change battle, women are uniquely situated to be agents of change—to help find ways to mitigate the causes of global warming and to adapt to its impacts on the ground."

“What I realize now is that even if I had followed Sheryl’s playbook perfectly, corporate culture as we know it was simply not built with women in mind,” Baum says. “In fact, it’s not just corporations. All of the systems that define our society—our government, our jobs, capitalism as a whole—were all built by white men and, therefore, are naturally suited for the success of other white men.”
