It must be incredibly hard

for some people to actually care about the well-being of other women when society constantly rewards a lot of people for doing exactly the opposite.

Even in 2021,  societal norms will keep reminding you that Paternalistic Standards do an excellent job of treating you and your experience as though it is worth nothing. 

It's a really good read.

“'The percentage of calls they have had in the last 18 months has skyrocketed,' Amos says, adding that many of the calls dealt with 'underage' abuse at a time when children weren’t safeguarded as much because they weren’t at school. 'This problem is endemic,' she says of sexual assault. 'It is beyond anything we can grasp. And it hurt more with schools being closed on both sides of the Atlantic. Places where an abuse might get recognised by somebody – a teacher, a nurse, someone like that. Certain settings where it can be picked up on.'”

It's just such a mournful topic

It's also sad that you, a woman, habitually make people feel like you'd treat them better if they'd either a) been born into male bodies or b) had some familial association with a male person you were trained to respect more. 

Uh sexist presidential elections are not fun

Although it sometimes appears that a lot of guys were trained by the patriarchy to get some strange cocaine-type pleasure from things that degrade women, and then some of those guys were told that they ought to be the ones to dole out everyone's paychecks, which meant that a lot of other people convinced themselves to go along with thinking that whatever the so-called "in charge" dudes were doing was fine,  and then society and health and laws and the environment and lives got impacted... 

whatever could be wrong with that?

Just to be clear...

Is there a reason?

Peacefully watching a farm documentary with a good guy and a kitten and then preparing for sleep when overhearing a domestic dispute shatters your tranquility?

Patriarchy, after I heard the woman crying

I went outside, and I could not see the man who was smoking on the balcony by himself very well. But I guessed that both of these people I heard are probably young. Now my mind MUST ask: what is it about our society that leads people to make extra excuses for the behavior of certain status / certain background / certain personality kinds of men, as opposed to other kinds of men, on a more regular basis? (Other men might also have had excuses made for their behavior from time to time, being this is still life under the patriarchy?)

I had to walk outside

I heard a girl screaming and crying and a guy saying what are you doing?

I saw one guy on his balcony smoking a cigarette by himself.

It's hard to trust people sometimes.

I need peaceful sleep

 Please bring me some today...

I shall ask for more peacefulness

These times are the times to ask for help from higher places.

While experiencing beautiful nature yesterday

In the course of a process of grieving, I and two companions went into the same woods where I once met your brother. A very nice & petite blond woman who was dressed like she was training to hike the Appalachian trail repeatedly warned us to stay away from the copperhead snake she'd just passed. Earlier, in a garden near the same spot where I once saw a heart-shaped balloon float up before making a long journey, I received the news that another friend's father had just died. It remains to be seen what other experiences await in the first quarter of the 21st century.

Often on cusp

of needing to tend to some physical ailment or emotional state that needs healing...sometimes wanting to just stay in bed and listen to healing meditation music all day...therefore, peace is the goal again.

I bet I can sleep in future though.

How can I cry

So lovely to know

Peace is what you love and want most. Yes, please. It's okay if other people want different things. They have different journeys. I might need peace more than other people need it? More than any creative project or anything. I know what it's like to get a feeling of wanting other kinds things that are less peaceful, but now it's peace I want the most.

Maybe gentle comedy helps when you're the kind who needs that good feeling of peace...

May I please

know we need prayers and guidance and peace and also be go to sleep again soon and feel hydrated.

Cat appears just before the universe asks us to go out of town and arrangements are already made. And lots of other stuff. 

Sometimes people need guidance. Sometimes I am the kind who could need to pray constantly.

I propose the universe needs to go easier on me for the rest of this life please.

Health & peace & tranquility.

"A favorite pastime of media outlets and their audiences alike is dragging out vintage advertisements from decades or years past and remarking on how profoundly sexist they are. These 25 are outrageous! The 45 here are shocking! The 35 ads here are extreme! In the face of explicit claims that women belong in the kitchen and are probably just a little bit stupid, it is easy to feel superior in our progressive, gender-equal ways. But a closer look at the way we talk about women’s place today shows that our eventual time capsule of media artifacts will hardly be less embarrassing upon review by future generations."

I did also think about how IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES this can be a nice and kinda feminist poem for some people:

https://genius.com/Fiona-apple-fast-as-you-can-lyrics

However, if it's not for you and you need to spend all day listening to chimes and meditation music and that sort of thing because of The World being all the stuff that it is, that's a good decision as well.

As the world hums along

I suppose I will be tending to whatever needs arise and building a better relationship with my teeth and other things that people should care about more. I meant their teeth. People should care more about their teeth, and of course be less sexist. And environmental stuff is super important. And maybe people can come back to make things better next time around. Don't they deserve that? Probably.

Spiritual books time finally.

Another tiny distinction

Before I get back to my spiritual book.

Well I'm glad

 I bet some people learned a lot and are definitely dedicated to improving society NOW

One time, a really long time ago

I ate sushi with some people at the appointed lunch hour.

I have some books to read.

Spiritual Ones.

And I have to attend to some dentally beneficial healing practices too.

Personally, I got kind of tired

Of the universe always shoving references from The Office in my face for several months.

Not The Office.


Why don't you go to church and pray

Or what if I mean nature center and look at turtles.

What's this tone

"I guess not."

As in: Remember ladies, how that man acts is not some other woman's fault.

Glory to guidance survivable~lujah

In a world of so many beings wanting so many kinds of love at this time I will be praying for the best guidance for this one and if you see it is so well perhaps either you'll appreciate such a thing now or know it better in the future because beloved by higher sources you are too...

It is gold.

I am so very grateful to feel more even and balanced again compared to earlier...feeling more balanced is honestly the very best state, especially if you've gone through a lot....

But I really do need to pray again

Maybe a nice person who is tending to a cat outside can be in my thoughts.

Prayer needed because of anxiety and need for painkiller and wishing to god it wasn't like this to survive a certain portion of a sensitive human life sometimes. 

So that's why prayer must be accessible to the people on this planet.

Such heavenly preponderances

I read he got in trouble for making it, but now everyone loves that song.

Beautiful cinematic emotional body

In a film:

Emma Thompson to what's his face Anthony Hopkins: "My Life is with Helen now."

In a head:

"My Life is with my 12-year-old personality who was really spiritual and attuned with her soul and with nature now."

I shall pray and pray and pray.  

Life Lesson

You can always pray when you can't help but you know help is needed. Surely some benevolent forces in the universe can help, and maybe it will all be much better later.

I am gonna try a healing process

Because it's too much and teeth too. That is why healing processes exist on the planet.

Pleasant

Maybe you and your special friend Agoraphobia can stay in all day & tend to teeth or any other attention-getting topics & get another person to go outside & deal with the phone's SIM card issues.

If someone

needs to just stay inside and stare at nature-y things while processing life in the 21st century there might be a reason or several.

I just wanna think about gardens

For the rest of the day.

Gardens.

Gardens.

Gardens.

Gardens.

Gardens.

Gardens.

Gardens!!!!

Gardens.

X: Hey you want to apply for this job I just saw? Might pay better? (Dreams of a less problematic living situation)

Y: Have you heard what's going on with that company?

X: No, why would I.

Y: The state of California sued them for toxic work environment. Look it up.

X: Okay, I shall do that.

"The suit, spearheaded by the Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH), concluded a two-year investigation into Blizzard and Activision’s workplace culture, and contains allegations of entrenched misogyny, gender-based discrimination, and rape culture throughout the corporation. The suit paints a damning picture not just of Activision — the company behind game franchises like Candy Crush, World of Warcraft, Guitar Hero, Overwatch, and Call of Duty — but of gaming culture itself." 

"The suit also purports that in an unrelated event, after a period of targeted sexual harassment which reportedly included male staffers sharing nude photos of her around the office, one employee died by suicide."

X: That's BAD. 

Y: I know.

X: Here's another interesting quote.

“'What you have is an industry filled with Peter Pans,' game developer Brianna Wu, a feminist activist whose outspoken views on the industry have frequently made her a prominent target for harassment, told me. 'And the thing is Wendy eventually leaves the Lost Boys, and that’s very much a metaphor for the game industry.'”

We are going to have to move soon

Again. New place. A large roach. It is disappointing.

What's really important to figure out?

When is it better to rest your body and when is it better to dance....I can feel I have seen and experienced a lot for my level of perceiving. I believe my body is asking me to be more careful, so I must listen. If I look at my life in the right way, I can feel it's a real privilege and a joy to be here, on the earth right now. Really, even though I must have a quiet Saturday night, I do know people love to have many kinds of fun experiences sometimes. I am not unaware...but I still have to be wiser...and at the moment that means choosing to be quiet and slower...I am trying to heal some things, and it's important.

Saturday, September 11, 2021

Could i please retrain my brain

slower movements and more healing-oriented 

and could I please retrain my habits

I really would love to succeed at being wiser with this person I am currently being

that's physical, mental, emotional and spiritual 

We can bless ourselves 

Pain could be an opportunity to heal and learn new ways of existing.

Isn’t it lovely to have

An opportunity to be sloooow.

Sloooow moving after a hot shower.

Sloooow and turtle-like.

What luxury...

On a Caturday Night

I hope this one gets a peaceful rest.

I can stay in on Saturday night forever

I can enjoy thinking about how fine and admirable it seems to be even more lowkey than Star or Barb (was impressed that one of them chose to wear my blouse on vacation) and being legitimately fixated on health concerns is also a treasured past time and lately my new favorite supplement must be the EFA Omega-3 capsules I started taking also I threw away half a pint of ice cream yesterday which is not something I would have done in previous times.

Even though...there is good stuff.

Can we know gifts like beauty and honor and love and courage and wisdom

Yes...and we can have deep respect for people who have passed because they have gone through such a transition...and we can believe the universe has a lot of good healing properties and gifts in store...

Gosh i need to pray for better health again

Now I have heating pad and pain stuff and I took vitamins but part of me wonders what if some of  these health issues tell me to protect myself by staying away from stressor to tend to my issues? To get more focused on good healing cause? Because why did I eat that trigger food at the worse time of the month again? What can I do to help the twinges on the left. What if I add in turkey tail mushroom...maybe I must apologize to my body and ask for forgiveness and more wisdom in the future...and love like like peaceful love that comes as a gift from higher healing places...

Tonight my life says something like

I hope some souls make the effort to heal themselves so that a healthy interaction with others comes more easily and naturally. If so, good things can happen. If not, tonight it seems we probably should not hang out in this lifetime for a lot of reasons. But who can predict the future. Surprises can happen sometimes.

Might this be part of the reason why he's felt  entitled to act like an insensitive asshole to others a surprising amount of the time? 

Did systemic practices mingle with personal choices and the results were patriarchal and gross, again?

Who are some of the men in society you know who don't behave that way?

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-58420270


"The report said that many religious groups were putting children at risk by:

  • Victim blaming
  • Not openly discussing matters of sexuality
  • Abuse of power by religious leaders
  • Men dominating the leadership
  • Mistrust of non-religious agencies
  • Misusing the concept of "forgiveness"

The inquiry found that in some communities "the relationship between ideas of sexual 'purity' and social and familial standing are likely to make abuse markedly harder to report."

Maybe they'll get better at some of this stuff soon!

Tried? And tried? And tried again?

But my body keeps being like "F~~~ this patriarchal BS, both men and women are enabling a lot of 21st century nonsense."

A Most Internal Dream

Seemed to be about being in the home of famous older woman who was a singer and there was a younger woman in there talking about how there are times for standing up for rights and I said that time is now. And it was. But instead of going out to protest,  quietly doing so seemed to be a theme. Alterations were made to the bed so that the oppressive obstruction outside was not going to interfere with much needed rest, and the viewpoint of what was going on outside was being adjusted on the inside.

Goodbye terrible pain from earlier

Prayers. Blessed relief.
