Huh, this is an interesting perspective and makes me think of that World War II show "World on Fire"
"LONDON — Social media, the 24-hour news cycle, and cellphones notwithstanding, Americans often find it hard to be interested in the world beyond our borders.
Unless, of course, people that don’t look or sound like us are actually crossing our borders; then, we pay attention.
But while the horrors of Gaza have grabbed the attention especially of young people, the U.S. feels comfortably distant from the horrors of the rest of the planet.
We have our own horrors, thank you very much.
But here in Britain, you don’t have the luxury of ignoring what’s going on in other countries.
The distance from Kyiv to the south coast of England is about 1,200 miles, which sounds like a lot until you consider that’s not even Tallahassee to Boston — and those two towns are in the same country.
But should Putin prevail in Ukraine, he could get tanks to Warsaw in less than 10 days. Then to Berlin in less than two days.
Then on to the shores of the North Sea where, on a clear day, you can see the White Cliffs of Dover.
Everyone in Britain understands that if Putin were to strike a NATO nation, there would be a war, and it would be fought on European soil."

The cramps are back. It is harsh. I am sorry if less than optimal eating habits brought back these miserable pains. But I have some tools.
Sunday, May 26, 2024
I actually feel pretty good.
What if this is the magic of the black currant seed oil and the ginger and the castor oil pack combined with a little bit of the good healing music.
I almost wonder why I've ever let anything upset me. Almost wonder why I didn't just accept what I went through, because maybe I was supposed to feel certain things and know more about about certain kinds of experiences, and accept the isolation it brought and those feelings, instead of making it even more painful by chewing on my fingers and shirt, but it was from the feeling of not having an outlet for that kind of pain. But what if I could just accept that pain as a learning experience?
This is such an interesting feeling, of doing a good job at getting myself into a healing space. It's almost like I gave myself a spa treatment.
I should relax and watch an NDE video.
Some cramps have been like NDEs for some people. And I may become all about angels and healing energies soon. What if that's me? What if everything else was a phase...

"Kids today, I swear.
Standing around on college lawns, protesting against genocide, calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and an end to arms shipments — what are they thinking? These students should be shopping, getting wasted at end-of-semester parties, and engaging in meaningless sex.
Instead, they’re going around acting like citizens, engaging in civil disobedience, exercising their right to free speech, telling university administrations to get rid of all investments in Israel, and demanding humanitarian aid for Palestinians.
Don’t they know protests are unnecessary pointless, and annoying?
Look at the civil rights nonsense in the 1950s and 1960s: Sure, the March on Washington, the Freedom Rides, and that business in Selma bullied the federal government into letting Black people sit in the front of the bus and even vote, but was it really worth all the discomfort it caused the nice White People Who Built America?
If only that Martin Luther King fellow hadn’t been so impatient. I’m sure we would have gotten around to giving minorities some rights. Eventually."

It does sound like he had a lot of energy and curiosity.
"Graham would be the first to acknowledge his privilege: His older brother, Philip, became the publisher and owner of the Washington Post as well as a confidant of John F. Kennedy; Philip’s wife, Katharine, oversaw the paper when it broke the Watergate stories; his other brother, Bill, helmed the Graham Cos., which built Miami Lakes, Florida’s first “new town.”
Yet he was fascinated by lives very different from his own. Maybe this was the impetus behind his famous “workdays” — that and first-rate campaign instincts. Graham bussed tables, picked tomatoes, hefted garbage cans, bellhopped, cleared brush, taught school, packed fish, cut hair, flew planes, and set up rigging and camera equipment as a grip on the 1983 Burt Reynolds movie 'Stick.'
He understood regular people because he talked to them all the time; he understood regular jobs because he did them — more than 400 of them.
In 2010, five years after he’d retired from the Senate, he decided he wanted to see my office at FSU before we went to lunch. God knows why: The Williams Building is not exactly an architectural masterpiece.
I met him in the university guest parking lot, and what should have been a two-minute walk to my office took more like 45 minutes. He stopped every student and professor we encountered. Some of them knew who he was; some (undergraduates who weren’t born when he served as governor) hadn’t a clue. He didn’t care: He interviewed each one. Where are you from? What are you majoring in? What are you teaching? Why did you choose FSU? What are you reading?"

It is quite painful to consider.
That some people are failing their fellow humans and faring poorly in spite of their materialistic advantages.
When some people, including some who are parents, are still acting like they don't think that certain kinds of humans or human rights matter, just because a select few amongst the Patriarchal people benefit more from going along with that mindset in the short term....
Who can truly believe that's good enough for all kinds of people in society to be an adequately acceptable long term strategy?

Did you guys ever have those talks with your significant others
...about which kinds of girls and females in this world she thinks deserve to have equity and equality and human rights?
Because when you reincarnate as a girl in the next life, and when you meet up again (since SO is SO great), hopefully you'll be in the right kind of body, and you'll be the right kind of girl to have the kind of human rights that she thinks a female of your kind truly deserves!
Get on with it, why don't you!

"Nakeenya Wilson, who nearly lost her life giving birth in Texas, sat on the committee as an outspoken community advocate, pushing for the release of data when the state health commissioner delayed publication of the report in 2022. As a voice for people of color, Wilson championed the stories of black women, who are disproportionately affected by maternal mortality rates both nationally and in Texas.
After legislation in 2023 eliminated her 'community advocate' role, Wilson applied to a different role on the committee, but did not get the job.
While Skop’s role is meant for a rural community member, she has spent her career working in San Antonio, a major Texas city. Skop, who is one of seven new appointees, will begin her six-year term on 1 June.
'As a black mother who went through a traumatic pregnancy first-hand, I think I provided that necessary lived experience and could represent my community well,' Wilson said. 'We need to ask, what community is [Skop] representing?'”

"March 31 - Rescuers: The People Who Helped - Samuel Oliner, Ph.D"
I do not want to act like you.
I know that if you were in a different body, you would be treated far more poorly by the people you mistakenly think "are more important than others" than you're being treated now.
Rich Men who bully people are not solo operators.
My head aches, but it feels like it is not only certain rich guys who have helped traumatize other people.
By the way, the nicer people who have helped the traumatized ones may deserve better healthcare, but even the abusive rich guys do, too.
Although they may not care to know it.
It seems to me that Conan, his wife, and others in his life who make excuses for his addictions would be more honest people if they could explain in further detail about how being rich makes you feel entitled to be an abusive, sexist, selfish person who bullies other people.
I think Conan's wife has to become an abusive, sexist, selfish person who bullies others just to maintain a lifestyle with a man who is an abusive, sexist, selfish person who bullies others.
They are not the people who want things to change for the better, because being that way paid off for them, and now they're stuck in their own patterns. It's sad.
They are like alcoholics who don't care that their patterns are bad for other people. They just keep finding fellow addicts to tell them whatever they're doing is fine, instead of trying to get healthier.
My body just cannot be around them as long as they keep on acting like that.
A guy who is especially great at dehumanizing, abusing, and taking advantage of systemic inequity without caring about how it makes things worse for others gets rewarded for bullying far beyond the average person.
Otherwise, why else would that one keep on acting that way?
I kind of think he's depressed and pretending.
Who has to be nicer to the abusive men than to others just to fit in with a lot of shallow, uncaring, dehumanizing, sexist people?
It's really not even approaching a healthy situation, at all.
Not everybody can be your selfish, sexist, enabler drug buddy who ignores others just to cater to your bottomless needy ego.
You can do better.
Casualties of Patriarchal Values 🎻🎭🪆💸⏳⚰️
I've met some guys who almost would help me but they have these great & terrible addictions they're battling. You know? Who knows how long it'll take.

Gosh, just think.😭🫠🤔🧐
Some people are terribly disturbed by toxic or sexist workplaces (panic attacks! nightmares! needing to leave job or feeling like terrible danger or even death could occur! PTSD symptoms!), even more than the lack of money.
But others are far more disturbed by the threat of the lack of money, and are not so disturbed by toxic or sexist workplaces.
What gives?
Can such people ever coexist harmoniously and help one another?

Come back, younger self.
I miss parts of my younger self. Where I lived, what I did, clothes I wore. The summer I was on a jury. How I used to be better about hiking (foot was happier).
Cat just opened the door...
I looked up Catcon and I remembered a friend coming out here to visit me and when I told her about going to Catcon, she thought it was really funny and she just has this certain sense of humor, and I was like I don't know, even just remembering talking to her about that is just as much fun as going to Catcon was. When can we speak again?
Where does the time go???
Moon watching tonight, somatic work tomorrow night...
There's more to the moon than the picture shows. I almost couldn't look at it too much because it would start to remind me that it has overlooked terrible things on Earth. But another part of my brain just wanted to look at it as I lay on my bed and get that more "enchanted" feeling, which is what happened when I was a child.
Sometimes when you are a child, you think things are okay, and then you find out things weren't as okay as you thought, and there's that residual trauma that you have to figure out how to process, or it will keep coming back, as if it's still recurring all the time, instead of getting stored as just a memory that you wanted to learn from so you could move onwards.
But the "enchanted by the moon" feeling is still here. "Alongside the 'terrible things have happened under this moon' feeling," an anxious voice reminds, as if not wanting to be forgotten or left behind just because it had to see and experience and acknowledge some trauma.
Beware the toxic positivity that penalizes the ones who are still processing the trauma, but don't forget about the enchanted by the moon children. Because why would you want to forget that kind of delight? Maybe that's who will become stronger and be able to help some of the traumatized ones, too, someday. Not to the extreme extent of burnout, but as a helpful and creative exercise that includes the love of their fellow human beings and living creatures, which is still alive on this planet.
Dear Universe, again.
I have had the thought that I should tell the universe that I am open to everything that is good for me and that is for the benefit of my health.
To the Universe:
Please help me to better understand and to accept that what I am supposed to do in this life is supposed to be good for me and to be complimentary to what is good for the benefit of my health.
Please help me to understand and accept that.
Please help me to know that I have my own path and other people have theirs, and I will just go on my path, and I will pursue what is best for me and for the benefit of my health.
Please help me to do that.
Thank you.
Oh well, back to the #1 life task.
It's really is like this life is just a never-ending reminder that I have to focus on my health. That reminder is always just around the corner.
Maybe that's what some other people are trying to do.
Maybe I'll stop questioning why other people seem to be so content with stuff that I can tell is not going to be healthy for me. Why other people are just lax about sexism.
I don't know their Journey.
I just know that I have to do what I have to do.
Maybe focusing on health is just what is the best and it will seem more and more valuable as time goes on.
Spiritual journey.

"The images stand in stark contrast to snapshots captured by SS officer Karl Höcker around this same time. In the photos, Rudolf, Josef Mengele and other SS men stationed at Auschwitz participate in a sing-along and relax at a retreat, as well as attend official camp ceremonies. Juxtaposed with the final moments of the newly arrived Jews, the officers’ blithe enjoyment of everyday life appears both callous and eerily relatable, reminding viewers—much like The Zone of Interest does—of the Nazis’ humanity.
“Though Höcker's album does not depict any criminal or immoral actions, one is struck by [its] amorality,” notes the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum on its website. Eliding the brutality of Auschwitz, the photos instead show “SS officers going about their business, socializing, enjoying the beautiful weather and mourning fallen comrades, seemingly oblivious to the magnitude of the crimes which they are either perpetrating or enabling.”

Why are you like that?
Can you believe you might be motivated to not treat "what's-his-name" as badly as you treat certain girls and women, for whatever strange reasons you have to actually be that way!?
Do you know why? Can you think.
I feel that if some of the "most materialistically fortunate" women and girls were actually a lot MORE feminist, it really would also help them be even nicer to the "most materialistically fortunate" men and boys, too.
You really are so fortunate.

issues.
Hey, how about that idea.
"Hey, maybe that different person isn't someone we should discriminate against just because the Patriarchal Ones told her and us that we should, and then they also gave us lots of materialistic rewards for doing so."
It's good to know these things.
"These types are acceptable to the Patriarchal Ones, whilst these other types are unacceptable, and therefore, they are far more likely to be the ones who get ignored and dehumanized" is not my favorite genre.
Opportunities await.
Were you raised by your society to not only feel an absence of respect, but in some cases to not even actually knowledge that certain types of people exist?
Would you like to have more humanitarian values than what was expected of you in the past?
Do you think this could happen soon, perhaps even before your next lifetime?
Well, you're here now, and so is your chance!
