I could go 🐈‍⬛ someday

There was a sign outdoors next to a water cooler that said something like: these cups are for cats who need water. If you don't want to be thirsty in the next life, don't touch these cups.

Sorry, male model (kinda)

I had a dream I was sitting in a restaurant and this kinda older guy who reminded me of the "cowboy" in one of the versions of the "A Sorta Fairytale" video kinda liked me.

Well, isn't that interesting. Maybe...

U: No.

OH. Well, how time-consuming, honestly.

U: Maybe I'll soon get help and be much less horrible?

Sounds like a nice idea...

They protest more now

"So far, Skidmore, like many schools, seems to hope that it can treat the movement against sexual violence among its students as a matter of silly women’s hurt feelings, something that can be condescended to and made to go away.

It just occurred to me

Always puts me in a super bad mood to think of having an obligation to serve even a subtly controlling man, much less an overtly controlling one.

Maybe some of those kinds of people could learn to relax more. Breath better... Get a ~~~~ massage.

Unpositive thoughts

How to treat people like second class citizens class revised for the new century:

Appear to treat a few people well so you can be awful to the rest.

Make abusive behavior into a joke.

Pay people for situations which will be far worse if replicated in other workplaces.

Be contented with a man or a woman or anyone if only a few benefit from...

(See above.)

Keep expectations low like that.

Say "I don't know why you're mad. Things wouldn't even be this way if lots of people had not liked or at least tolerated this for many years."

Encourage toxic positivity that lacks empathy for others even though it clearly does not serve people from all backgrounds equally well.

When everything gets tough, apathy.

What?

"None of the people around me would tolerate half of my behavior if I weren't..."

Languages all over

"Shibboleth" - Wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shibboleth

What a time to be experiencing the time that it is

"When the Florida politician Joel Greenberg discovered that one of the women he and Gaetz were allegedly paying for sex was not a woman but a girl at 17 years old, Greenberg, according to reporting by the Daily Beast, told the girl that she was at fault. 'She apologized and recognized that by lying about her age, she endangered many people,' Greenberg wrote. This, too, is one of the surest signs that a girl is becoming a woman: suddenly, she finds herself being held responsible for men’s actions."

BDE still has not adequately explained why treating certain members of the human race so badly is so enjoyable.

Better luck for me this time

about how your choices made being awful to certain types of people more okay for you.

Where's the pain relief?

Maybe some of us are a bit like canaries sometimes.

It would be pretty NICE

to live in a society that was really focused on GOOD health-care.

A society that gave space to say, it's not that I think an individual is always entirely unwell, it's just kinda weird how good the universe can be at pointing out there are some parts that are...

Also fruitfully hoping

that the overseers in the fields act in accordance with some wise ethical standards while they deliver the healthy food we eat so we can exist for a living.

A body cries

Where is the beautiful sensitive side that got buried away? Crying inside and suffering from strong shoulder pain I did not expect...I keep knowing part of me could be more like others and then the universe insists I go back to being a more sensitive person. I think it would be best to just give up, or at least soften what ails my crying tense muscles again. Salon patches and aspirin too.

Crying ghost might get better when she's been heard I hope.

Guard empathy

Is when you sit outside on a bench with your back to a courthouse and feel someone watching and thinking "she doesn't want to be here" and later when you exit with your slip of paper the person who is now inside stares at you almost at the very top of the staircase and you feel surprised and maybe a bit vulnerable like a kindergartener holding a paper drawing, and a part of you wants to ignore any intense feeling but truthfully it is like you are carrying him down the steps through security and out of the courthouse, this complete stranger whose name you'll never know, until you turn the corner when you are fully outside and have your own day back.

Autumn unusually full of death

Got another reminder...

Parents pass away...

Like my friend's mom today...

Be true!

I had a dream

It was sad

It said some kids

Are smarter than dad.

Okay but really

I had a dream about people feeling a lot of despair about trying to flee poverty and I was remembering the stories my friend in college who came here from El Salvador told me. I feel physically impacted and rather upset. Honestly.

I hope my next dream goes easier on me!

Loveunderstatement

Immature dads have issues to work on.

Ladies, my dreams have informed me

Feminist guys are more feminist than you if you look at the situation from a certain perspective.


This is like living in the 80s almost

As I lay in my bed that was most definitely not anywhere near a villa in Italy, I wondered about a friend who wants to help???

"Farm work is twice as deadly as law enforcement and five times deadlier than firefighting. Doctors who have treated farmworkers say virtually all of them will experience pain and injury because of the nature of farm work. To add insult and further harm to injury, low pay ensures they struggle to stay above the poverty line.

Nevertheless, the fearmongering on behalf of big factory farms is in full force."

https://www.indiewire.com/2021/10/procession-trailer-robert-greene-netflix-1234674282/

"Here’s the official synopsis courtesy of Netflix: 'Six midwestern men — all survivors of childhood sexual assault at the hands of Catholic priests and clergy — come together to direct a drama therapy-inspired experiment designed to collectively work through their trauma. As part of a radically collaborative filmmaking process, they create fictional scenes based on memories, dreams and experiences, meant to explore the church rituals, culture and hierarchies that enabled silence around their abuse. In the face of a failed legal system, we watch these men reclaim the spaces that allowed their assault, revealing the possibility for catharsis and redemption through a newfound fraternity.'”

Thank you for the op-ed

"At a diversity and inclusion conference last week, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor said that part of the reason the court had to change the format of its oral arguments was that female justices kept getting interrupted by men. Indeed, a 2017 study of three Supreme Court terms in which there were four women justices found that the three justices who were interrupted the most were all women.

If some of the most experienced and venerated women in the country can't hold court without being interrupted, just imagine how much of a problem 'manterruptions' are for the rest of us."

Sometimes I ask myself questions.

Did I not just want to get along with some people?

Did ghosts interfere because beings are sick and tired of the same old BS repeating?

Did "Black Dahlia M~something" appear on the car in front of me when I drove home yesterday and "Stay Back Driver Also Old" draw my attention to the condition of another car for any EARTHLY YET ALSO GODLY CHRISTIAN REASON?

Be reasonable.
