Life is in a certain kind of body this summer
Not being able to work because of illness is no easy picnic. Haven't felt well enough to go swimming even once this summer. If I can feel well enough to go out and look at a sunset or lie on a blanket in a park, that's an excursion. I managed an appointment with a nurse practitioner and got some tests and felt fine and then had hours of pain in my head and face when I got home. The physical and emotional overlap.

Someone who is good at being considerate
advised me to see the people who seem to be not so good at that as different kinds of cats. He thinks humans are wired to be selfish. "I am, too. I just include consideration for other people's feelings." Yes. π♥️πππ
Even though I want to heal..
I am still very sure that anger can be an appropriate response to self-absorbed patriarchal people. Because they are capable of much, much, much better things, too.

Humans are vulnerable and deserve exquisite healthcare
I have to pray for my health again. It's really feeling like a challenge to know what to do next. First, I want to rest. Help me, universe, to make good decisions for healing myself. Help me get in touch with a healer within to know when to call or try to see someone or stay home and rest...Healing is what we all deserve, but some of us know it more urgently at certain times.

If you have an inner child, why not tend and befriend her?
Even if it doesn't suit a society built on capitalism and patriarchal colonizer mindsets, I believe that my body has been telling me that my inner child needs to spend more time around healing energy and/or in healing environments and/or with people who can actively show that they care about healing and have no need to be embarrassed.

Well, I just going to ask higher powers that are wiser than I to help me be on a very healing path for my physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health and well-being. Help me. This is a prayer.

Different experiences in different bodies...
OM.
Truth is, there can also be quite a collection of emotions to deal with when you get a certain kind of sad feeling while looking at the mountains...it comes from perceiving that some people are not very open to listening, and that's been disappointing. But tonight two younger-than-me women who are also moms who probably don't know I have been dealing with certain insecurity-fueled messages from...
self & society?
told me several times they were happy to see me and that I have good energy. They gave me several book recommendations (Braiding Sweetgrass, Women Who Run With the Wolves, Warrior Goddess Training.) Because they mentioned being interested in learning how to be better to their bodies at certain times in their cycle and in one case doing so for the purpose of treating PMDD, I recommended Womancode.
There must be some higher forces out there that want to help all kinds of people on this planet.

Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps...
Perhaps a lot of us were taught by various belief systems to be like conquerers or colonizers to parts of ourselves; that could be part of the reason why some people still seek comforts and rewards in self-absorbed ways that mimick the colonizers. But comforts and rewards are what we are wired to seek. So...is that all bad? No, but there are some very big problems with over-indulgence and imbalance. But you also don't want to be too puritanical. What are you rebelling against?
Perhaps, like droughts or floods, illnesses can teach us to appreciate water
"Women and girls in many regions in the Global South are typically responsible for collecting water, which becomes a lot more taxing during droughts, and in Europe, women are more likely than men to live in flood zones, where the impact of climate change is felt most severely."

When the Irresponsible-to-Others lifestyle is just too harmful
Dear babies, what can you learn when some of your parents won't quit acting like Christopher Columbus?
"Epistemological genocide" was a term that I came across in recent days.
Sadly, in the 2020s there are people out there who continue to demonstrate that they got a message from society and/or acquired the mentality that discounting the experiences of other human beings in an effort to preserve a very self-absorbed way of life is supposedly a perfectly okay thing for them to do...it's really not.
Who should care and why?
"What does gender have to do with environmental sustainability? These two issues may seem unrelated, but they are in fact closely intertwined. Indeed, a comprehensive report from United Nations (UN) Women found that women are disproportionately impacted by most if not all of the challenges highlighted in the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). For example, natural disasters (which have become more common due to the climate crisis) often disproportionately affect women, children, the poor, the elderly, and the disabled, whose perspectives often go unheard or ignored. Women and girls in many regions in the Global South are typically responsible for collecting water, which becomes a lot more taxing during droughts, and in Europe, women are more likely than men to live in flood zones, where the impact of climate change is felt most severely. Studies have also shown that gender-based violence, including physical, psychological, and reproductive violence against women, becomes more prevalent after natural disasters, with complex and far-reaching consequences on health and well-being."

I was feeling better yesterday. Then maybe I went down a less healing path in some ways, with my thoughts or with what I ate or drank? But now I will be back on the better healing path.
Thank you. ππ»π·π§♥️π

Dear wonderful universe, please let me know forever that humanity deserves all the love and healing and beauty and let me remember it well. I can only make healing myself and my suffering a big priority right now. I can love myself. So many voices have made us feel guilty if we weren't a certain way, but we are serving our higher purposes when we truly and deeply honor and love ourselves and our needs. Please help me get better at it. And I appreciate those healing energies and healers and helpers.
Please let us know love very well
We are humans and we can find healing and we can forgive ourselves? Yes.
For something magical...
Thank you. I am feeling some healing energy and I truly truly appreciate it. I just needed that so much. Thank you. I did just begin to feel better emotionally and I will be praying for more healing. Healing is so powerful. Healing is the most important for loving ourselves. We deserve all the healing. All of the healing. I feel GREATER HOPE AND GRATITUDE NOW. THANK YOU.

We deserve love and health and forgiveness and healing and love again. Peace...love...healing.

Well, a body has survived another day!
And it seems to be improving...and acquired a much fuller understanding of how good it is to feel appreciation and gratitude for getting back to better health.
That one can have a genuine appreciation of access to things like antibiotics and good sustenance, and be filled with gratitude at being allowed to feel like one's well-being is being restored, is almost an understatement.
What if you never knew when what how and why great changes could occur...
If a poor person suddenly inherited millions and an entire mountain, would that person appreciate those things?
And also, I should not fail to mention a newfound appreciation of the "Palma Christi" castor oil pack.
It really is kind of like a continual unfolding...

Also my body wants me to heal from something right now, and please help me with my treatment for my physical healing.
And I want to change for the better. Thank you for the opportunity and I can feel grateful to have this chance.
BEAUTIFUL Wonderfulness Exists Too
Dear wonderful healing energy that can surpass all limitations...please help me to gratefully accept any and all gentle loving healing energy that I can for right now. And help me to really know this: I am grateful for any and all gentle healing energy that may now and in the future benefit me and also humanity. Thank you so much. Thank you for helping me survive so I can get better. Love is out there and so are the wonderful wonderful wonderful best healing remedies. Let's be able to appreciate ourselves and really heal, just like being in a body is telling me we deserve to feel better and get well. Please and thank you.
Ask for healing and higher guidance to help
Okay, dear universe. Please help, blessed Universe, all of us. But U know I feel like my body needs and deserves the healing love that we can still experience. Please and thank you for love and help and healing and guidance. ♥️ππ»

Now I was experiencing pains and not well enough to eat breakfast, but at least I listened to the body and realized I am better off just lying down and drinking water at the moment. Water is great, too.

"BRAINWASHED: SEX-CAMERA-POWER (Sundance FF 2022) – Review by Marilyn Ferdinand "– ALLIANCE OF WOMEN FILM JOURNALISTS
"If women cannot be heard in a film, it’s only a short leap to silencing them in workplaces, public spaces, and relationships. If women are sexualized and give in to men’s sexual demands with pleasure in the movies without negative consequences, then sexually harassing and raping them in real life won’t seem so wrong."
So, WHY NOT CHANGE?
"Obviously, men at the top of the filmmaking food chain are trying to protect their financial interests, but they are protecting so much more. They are protecting their right to behave however they wish toward the people they consider their inferiors. It will not be easy, but through the education that Brainwashed provides, we can make room for the voices these gatekeepers wish to silence." ~ M. Ferdinand

“Oftentimes the fines will be reduced or eliminated,” she said. “We know that the food production employers — and the companies they’re producing for — have very powerful legal teams to reduce the fines.”
~ Lil Kalish
"The companies’ violations often included failure to provide and implement a health and safety system, which is required by a 1991 state law, the study said.
The report describes food production workers as those working in meat packing, dairy operations and agriculture — primarily Black, Latino, and Indigenous people, and often undocumented immigrants."

This is the time I need to say something,’” said Canning. “And instead of being confrontational, all he did was go up to this boy and say, ‘You know man, I think you’re a lot better than that.’”
Canning said the young man was surprised by the reaction.
“After a moment, the other boy said, ‘You know what? You’re right.’”

"'Men With Guns' is immensely moving and sad, and yet because it dares so much, it is an exhilarating film. It frees itself from specific stories about this villain or that strategy, to stand back and look at the big picture: at societies in collapse because power has been concentrated in the hands of small men made big with guns. I understand guns in war, in hunting, in sport. But when a man feels he needs a gun to leave his house in the morning, I fear that man. I fear his fear. He believes that the only man more powerless than himself is a dead man."

Still haven't visited the pool this summer
Wonder whatever happened to the blond woman and two guys who were talking about yoga class and doing the happy baby pose.

One great idea might be to actually act like you care about the human rights of fellow human beings.

Well it's that time again.
Well it's that time to admit I am better off doing whatever I can to as wisely as possible fix my own physical mental emotional and spiritual health. Wow. Again. Many reminders of this in this life.
Found out there's a UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
"Many Americans might have never heard of the Convention and also might not know that their food may have been picked by one of the approximately 500,000 child farmworkers in today's US."
~ Cao Siqi, Liu Caiyu and Xu Yelu
"Farms are the most dangerous places to work in the US for children. A report by the federal Government Accountability Office released in November 2018 presented alarming findings. Researchers found that between 2003 and 2016, 237 children died while working on farms in the US. This happens despite the fact that farms employ less than 6 percent of child workers, highlighting the devastating consequences of weak laws and regulations that don't properly protect child farmworkers.
The AFOP also pointed out agriculture is the US' most dangerous occupation for farmworker youth, while pesticides increase the risk of developmental disorders in farmworker children."

Misogyny is also "mean-to-children-yny"
"After a draft of the opinion was leaked in the spring, Alito’s misogynistic reasoning was widely dissected and even mocked in aghast legal circles. The opinion was joined by four other justices, all conservative Catholics like Alito, for whom abortion violates their religious faith.
Among them is a man credibly accused of sexual harassment of women, another credibly accused of attempted rape, and a woman affiliated with a charismatic cult whose structure rests on a doctrine of male superiority."

"South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem was challenged Sunday about her stance on exempting rape victims from her state's abortion ban after a 10-year-old girl, who was raped, was denied an abortion in Ohio."

"But what if the next generation is less sexist than we were? How will that make us look?"

A cyclical, early-adulthood-as-a-child rather than an extended-childhood-as-an-adult sort of thing.
O earworm. O childhood music in the car memories. O Youth!
