I don't know what
I am going to want to read.
I can think I know
& then...
something else happens.
But The Winter Soldier got read. I am pretty sure that if I reread it there's a lot of details that would seem new, though. Well, that part of the world is kind of unfamiliar to me.
I almost felt like that book had something to do with my back injury, as if a character in it kicked me. Very weird. Don't actually believe that. But I read more because I was in bed and also bought The Body Keeps the Score. Maybe less physical pain could be involved in steering my ship next time. And my back is still recovering.
Maybe that will change...

I don't think most of the farmworkers get the day off, though. Why not? Who cares?

What if teating treating the patriarchy and white supremacy as if they are the only or the most important forms of oppression is just another feature of patriarchy & white supremacy, with $$$ and capitalism being involved in keeping it that way.

It seems there's no single remedy to combat the sheer agony I experienced in my body earlier today, but it is possible to be grateful about feeling better now. A collection of remedies and treatments and lifestyle changes could be what's going to make a positive difference. I still have no clue what happened with the lower back, as it difficult to sit or walk, but it will get better.

Nickleback ~ "How You Remind Me"
Because this Nickleback song also played a lot in the bar, and I realized I didn't absolutely love how tall and skinny the model is, but I've been brainwashed by the media and in an alternate reality I'm probably all like "Ooooh, look at that long, tall, cool, refreshing drink of wa💧 ter 🚰 ."

Well clearly part of x doesn't feel so good about something. If x spied in addition to temporarily behaving like a howling dog, is x f**ked? Very weird. Perhaps a doctor could study x. Would x like the universe to set boundaries now. X has a peculiar communication style & is lucky the universe has been generous.

"A number of the cases document instances of domestic abuse, with one officer dismissed after being arrested 'on suspicion of rape, threats to kill and common assault' against his partner. Another, a special constable, 'raped his wife numerous times over eight years of marriage' and was also dismissed.
A separate incident involved an officer who was dismissed after allegedly sending shocking posts on the messaging app Kik. The summary of the initial claims against him reveal that his messages included 'comments stating that he wished to rape the females in the picture and have them raped by others. The images appear to be his daughter and niece.'"
