Some dads made me feel...
I don't think their "Well, it was hard not to choose Clarence Thomas over Anita Hill when we had SO much more in common with him" parties would be very fun to attend, even if it's an accurate assessment of some of their mindsets.
Oooh, Casa San Gabriel...
Also intriguing, but not my first choice.

Free the Ice Cream Likers...
In Before Barbie Drink times, do you know, one time within the past year, I was thinking about buying strawberry ice cream, and I pointed at it in the grocery store and said so, and then there was this woman standing nearby who said something like, "But you know, this one is really good, right?" and she made a big deal of pointing at the coffee-flavored one. I said, "Oh yeah, that one is good." And the "The lemon one looks like it could be interesting to try, too."
Bad dream with a quirky ending.
I rescued a scared cat that the Cosby - worshipping ones had put into a crude wooden crate, and the cat spoke to me, saying, "Oh dear, how terribly inconvenient!"
Unfortunately, the last dream was harsh.
Might be worth mentioning since I got an antibiotic and probiotics and I might get better now.
Bill Cosby showed up in it.
See, first I was in a school, taking a class, and learning about society and food banks. It was fine.
But the lighter tone of the dream became less and less friendly.
By the time it ended, I knew the woman who taught the class was in league with a bunch of guys who still worship Bill Cosby.
This body & spirit still need help.
Why. Why. Why.
Help the Universe to Be Better & Beautiful to Us.
Please help people. That might even be yourself.
That was productive.
I had a dream I told a younger version of man he was very insensitive but he had talents, but I wished he were not so insensitive. I woke up very sick. I have learned some nice techniques and they eventually helped and so did taking essences.
If they thought more deeply about long-term effects...
Some people would really act a lot differently. There would be less manipulation going on.
Or who they're sitting next to on a plane, sometimes.
People change their personalities according to who is around them.
Where does it go...
O memory...I went to Peru several times when I was a young woman, and now I am remembering when I met the feminist aunt of the young man I was with. He had such a big family. He seemed proud of her, too. I wish I remembered her name. She made an impression on me that she was very nice person and a grassroots activist and she had many photos of herself gathering with women. Such smiling faces and good energy!!!!
Why does it go away when some get more access to power & money...

The staff observed his intuitive skill with animals, and they encouraged him to keep pets of his own. He learned 'not only reading and writing but also how to cooperate, how to be kind,' he said. Tante Anna in particular struck him as 'a farsighted and truly altruistic human being.'”

"This comes after several recent heat-inflicted deaths of farm workers. Through the nature of their work, farm workers perform labor in dangerously high temperatures and are vulnerable to heat illnesses and death.
The organizations are backing their support for the reintroduction of the Asuncion Valdivia Heat Safety and Prevention Act, named after a California farm worker who was killed by the extreme heat while harvesting grapes in 2004.
'Farm workers are at the frontlines of climate change as extreme heat continues to expose them to more danger,' said UFW Foundation Chief Executive Officer Diana Tellefson Torres. 'We must prevent heat-related deaths and we can do so by establishing a permanent heat standard that provides workers access to shade, paid rest breaks, training, and water.'”

"On the show, she ended an acapella performance of Bob Marley’s 'War' by ripping a photo of Pope John Paul II into pieces as a stance against sexual abuse in the Roman Catholic Church. 'Fight the real enemy,' she said.
Sexual abuse committed by clergy of the Catholic Church was pervasive for centuries against children around the world, including in Ireland. Native American children sent to Indian Boarding Schools that were operated by Catholic Churches suffered as well, separated from their families and tribes."
~ Neely Bardwell
It's not being mentioned much elsewhere if she did say it...
"Native people and the Irish have long been allies. During Ireland’s Great Famine, the Choctaws collected $170—the equivalent of $4,400 in today’s dollars—and sent it across the Atlantic Ocean to help feed the starving people in Ireland."Why is picking food still so dangerous?
"Her son Andy joined her when he turned 13.
'She needed help to pay for food,' Andy recalled.
But in the summer of 2021, things changed for Abalos. That year, a heat wave swept across the Pacific Northwest. Temperatures hit triple digits for weeks on end.
'He was so little,' Abalos said in Spanish. 'I no longer wanted to take him when we started to go in at 3 a.m. because it was very dangerous. We would run into snakes, other animals and we pick blindly because they gave us a little lamp and we barely see our hands.'
Due to the heat, the harvest times got earlier. Picking berries in the hot sun is a danger to both the fruit and the workers."

She would have been older than the farmworker dad who just died. She could have babysat him.
"The cross reads: 'María collapsed from a heat stroke and no water access. This is in her name and of those others who have lost their lives at work. We demand justice and respect; no more abuse to workers and to future generations. May she rest in peace and may God give her glory.'"

They could grow out of the old, oppressive ways & still have a lot of fun. They could still meet interesting people and explore new places and help the planet more in the process.

Liberation...
"Liberation from boys being boys:
I’ve dropped in on The Huddle several times over the past six months. One meeting focused on mental health and substance abuse; a former drug addict shared the story of his attempted suicide and recent recovery. Another served as a #MeToo confessional. 'I bet every man in here has a story about how they’ve mistreated a woman,' the facilitator prodded. After a deafening silence, one man threw up his hands. 'I know I’ve done some foul shit.'"

Humans wanting to experience pleasure is not so bad, it's just the bullying and cruelty they rely on to get through life that becomes much too addictive to them, and it ruins things.
Ah...water! I need some.
This was in my head a lot today for some reason.
Collective Soul - "December (Official Video)" - YouTube
Good thing some people expect more out of life.
The abusive situation you accepted, that you think is alright for others, is not alright for them.
Poor old them.
Their kids deserve much better access to human rights than the patriarchy wants them to act like they deserve.
It seems sad that some well-off folks just accept living in a realm of brittle superficiality.
Gosh, I wonder if I lived in previous times in circumstances which were both exceedingly wealthy and spiritually confining, and swore I wouldn't need to go through that again? I bet I did live through that, or else something in the universe really really really wanted me to think so.
Of course, this time around I got to experience how much anxiety and disrespect and exploitation occurs when you are at a different level in society.
When poorer people have less access to resources and are prone to being more exploited, that actually harms all of the weathier ones in our society, too.
A good creature must have a good soul, too.
I saw a nice, shy cat that probably had good interactions with people at some point, and still thinking about how I wish I could have pet it.
Congratulations to Your Earth Life for Emotional Development.
You had someone who might have been homeless or a migrating person with a mask on wave at you as you backed the car out of a space, and you didn't know what to do about that, but you put out a little food for a stray cat, in an alternate reality on this planet.

It is so sad that children suffer.
Just because the patriarchy wants you to act like the unwell guys who bully people when they don't get "their way" all the time are the most important humans on this Earth.
Because no amount of dehumanizing is ever enough for them...

"Workplace sexual harassment in agriculture is gaining recognition as a profound threat to the lives and health of farmworkers, and the integrity of our rural jobs and communities. Recent studies estimate female farmworkers face sexual harassment at a rate 2-3 times higher than other work sectors. Many farms lack appropriate training and prevention programs to protect workers and are seeking assistance. The PNASH Center has been working with stakeholders throughout Washington state to develop a sexual harassment prevention program specific to the needs of this industry and culturally appropriate for Latino farmworkers."

Dear Trad Moms,
'Conan O’Brien Writer Lashes Out At Stormy Daniels"
Sometimes it seems like the women with the genes that white supremacy has traditionally preferred still gotta lotta "programmed to fight each other for their patriarchal privileges" issues going on, but perhaps they can be the grandchildren's next philanthropic project.
Boys should be able to play with Barbies.
I got to play with little cars and blocks and Tinker Toys, which may have helped me score higher on that one spatial relations test I took in college, which I found fun, but the other girls mostly found it exasperating, judging by all the sighs in the auditorium, and since they were a bunch of young ladies who had been raised in those environments of 1980s Super Southern Feminine Gender Roles, they probably did not get their Tinker Toys to play with, for they did not do so well on that test, and they kind of made a big deal about it when we looked at our test scores because they saw that I did sort of well on it (spatial relations was my 3rd highest score, just below reading and writing.)
Well, if the Tinker Toys did that for me, just think of what playing with Barbies will do for the boys!?
It's pretty exciting to think about it. Even when I remember it now, I still feel like it was a special experience.
However, many of the girls who grew up in the South had received more instruction in the way of dance lessons and posture, so I got that message, too.
But anyway, thank you, Tinker Toys. That was a fun lesson for me. Now, go get those boys some Barbie dolls!!!!
Bummer, they got to him.
"Ken’s vengefulness, which masks his rage, shame, and insecurities, is largely a byproduct of Barbie’s lack of sexual-romantic interest in him. Ken is the prototypical patriarchal man, who is raised to believe his identity and worth are explicitly tied to his sexuality and ability to sexually dominate women."

Can't sleep! But it will happen.
Do any moms or dads of daughters who have struggled with caving in to uncaring patriarchal values have any kind of memories or experiences to draw upon which can help them to be much less abusive towards their fellow human beings from this day forward? I would like to know which moms or dads would be able help me know how to be someone who is better at not instilling toxic patriarchal behavior patterns in others, just in case I ever become a parent sometime soon. Or, even if it happens in the next lifetime, or something like that. Well, just in case that scenario ever happens, it would be good to find the parents who are interested in advancing towards a more openly humane society, you know???

Now I feel curious to see this place someday...
"Lyon is a city that creates chefs, says Buford, and he thinks he knows why: Everything the Lyonnais eat is grown right around them. 'Lyon finds itself among vineyards and rivers and mountain lakes, among birds and pigs and fish,' he writes."
~ Eleanor Beardsley
"Buford obsesses over the intersecting currents of French and Italian culinary history. He pours over cookbooks: La Varenne's 1651 Le Cuisinier François, but also worn, family recipe books picked up at flea markets. 'I coveted stained, used, filthy ones,' he says, 'and found an almost addictive pleasure in flipping through pages that had been studied, in some cases, more than a century before.'
Buford describes one recipe book as 'a seventy year conversation between a grandmother, a mother and a daughter, until finally it was swept out in an estate-clearing auction of whatnots and ended up on eBay.'
He called another collection of recipes 'radiant and sad and beautiful.' It was put together on 'sheets of another era's thin paper,' by a French soldier captured by the Nazis when they invaded France in 1940. The prisoner of war painstakingly details the recipes for his nation's most beloved dishes — a cassoulet from the southwest; a cervelas de Strasbourg from Alsace. Buford senses his urgency in case these should be lost. 'It needs to be preserved, like civility, like dignity, like the table, like a shelter that protects us from the ugliness just outside our front door — the crudeness, cruelty, selfishness, the incomprehensible injustice.'
That soldier, says Buford, recognized that cuisine 'protects us in our humanity.'"

Kitchens, kitchens.
"The kitchen can be a brutal world of daily bullying and humiliations. Take Mathieu, a 15-year-old aspiring chef who arrives eager for his internship. 'He was like a petri dish of the workplace's toxins,' writes Buford. 'He had arrived innocent, got roundly abused, and was now trying to find his place as an abuser.'
Then there is the shy Hortense, the only woman in the kitchen. She's subjected to the kind of harassment and jokes one can only imagine in a macho, French kitchen of the pre-#metoo era. But Hortense, like everyone else, has to suck it up and show rigueur for the good of the kitchen. And the axiom 'What goes on in the kitchen stays there' prevails above all."

Parent's Day, when does Rehab start for The Bullies?
Would they all like to accept help with changing their destructive behavior patterns, to help themselves & their descendants more, instead of hindering them? Well, why not?
The Cruel One, The Angry One, The Mean One, The Self Destructive One, and the Lets It Happen Just To Cope With Her Circumstances Lady are all Capable of Becoming Much Wiser People.
Instead of behaving like Puppets Operating Under Abusive Patriarchal Controls Who Got Duped into Being Way More Degrading of Themselves & Others Than They Needed To Be, and instead of being so discriminatory against others, (and probably against parts of themselves), what else could they be doing with the rest of their lives?
What about next time?
Will the "girls and women they trained themselves to dehumanize more than the others just because some abusive patriarchs were being insecure and needy and greedy again" be able to have more access to something much better?

In fact, every three days, a child employee dies while working in agriculture,' Ruiz said in a statement 'Despite these dangerous conditions, agriculture is the only industry with little to no protections for the 400,000 young children who work in this industry every day. As the son of farmworkers, I’m working to change that. My bill, the CARE Act, would raise labor standards for child farmworkers across the country, protecting their health, safety, and overall well-being. This legislation will bring much-needed parity to farmworkers, advancing equity for the families and workers who help put food on our tables and play an essential role in our economy every day.'"

"Can you explain how butterfly migration connects with migrant and seasonal farmworker labor?
I like this question; it’s philosophical and poetic. It’s the reality, migration goes both ways between Mexico and Michigan because of the Great Lakes and natural resources. Many people don’t know that monarchs fly all the way from Michigan to Michoacán, Mexico, in late August and September and return to the southern U.S. in March and eventually to Michigan in May.
This observed pattern signifies Michigan’s weather change and drop in temperatures in the late summer and the warming temperatures in the spring. When the butterflies migrate back north, seasonal farmworkers know that the growing season is close. It is a hard seasonal journey to endure and, in the end, there’s a beauty to this cycle of pollination and the resilience of migrant labor.
Why is honoring and recognizing migrant farmworkers so important to you?
I believe honoring migrant farmworkers is a recognition of all the people. Food is important to everyone, every day. Michigan farmworkers are essential to the Michigan economy and the food security for the entire nation. It is incredibly important that this group is recognized."
