Maybe that's the secret.

The cat is having so much fun by experiencing a little change in her environment and exploring that she only wanted to eat a little bit of the treat, and well, she doesn't seem to want the rest of it because she's having too much fun exploring.

I brought her back in. She did try to jump out of the car but I put her back in the carrier. She doesn't seem too mad. She's curled up by me. I guess we're listening to music and stuff!

My cat gets a treat too. She's exploring the car. Just the car by itself.  She was supposed to be a cat that was trained to be good on a leash but unfortunately... Some of us were not disciplined enough... However, I have seen the cat whisperers online and I am inspired/ using their techniques.

Honestly, I think she's having a lot of fun exploring the car. I think this was exactly the right thing to do. Oh there's other cats outside and she gets to spy on them! She has a better view than she normally does.

So much sewing. So complicated. So another century.

Anyways I went to a yoga class for the first time in ages and at the end of it the instructor kept saying "Why do I want to call you Amy" so then I remembered there was these twins (a boy and a girl) that my Grandma invited over and I feel like their names were Mitch and Amy, but that was also the name of some twins in a Beverly Cleary book, so I can't tell if that is a correct memory, and then I decide to type in "Mitch and Amy Michigan" and Amy Mitchell is apparently a doctor in Petoskey / Boyne City.

My younger self who used to think I would do things better when I was older has been decimated.

Anyways, I think the chewing on skirts era is probably almost entirely over, but it's very new.

Didn't start chewing on skirts until perimenopause, after finding out who what's his name was, after


he started going out with what's her face.

(Why would that trigger such a response? And why did it keep on going for years and years when other things triggered it?)

Yeah, I guess the younger self has been educated.

Also, as I got older, I started to feel bad for the older women who had to live with Anne Frank sometimes. She was quite judgey! 

They lived in tight quarters.

None of them were chewing on their clothes. I guess that's a good thing. 

A significant person to learn from.

Seeing if that's the problem.

Here I lay for hours, feeling relatively peaceful, and then I got interested in a song, and that was followed by some thoughts, and then I posted something about how I was interested in those thoughts, and now I have an kvetchy uterus again. 

What the hell. How quiet am I supposed to be. This is what happens when some women's minds and bodies get too out of sync. Creativity becomes a painful process, and that's sad. 

Or perhaps it's better (from the perspective of the owner of this body) to say, okay, well now we know this needs attention. Let's figure out what we're going to learn from that. Yes, that's probably better.

Actually this is very rough.

I have a very bad pain in my universe again. Well, I meant to say uterus. It's like I just have to survive and be enough.

Things could get better. They probably will, actually.

I could turn into one of those practice makes perfect people. I could be a glass half full.

Well, I had a very scattered evening.

I guess I scattered my energy too much. Now I will get back in order with myself. They almost never say, when you read a book about something tragic happening, that scattered energy is the culprit, do they? I managed to get a few things accomplished with my scattered energy, but I was having a terrible time for at least half of it, and a mediocre time for the other half. Now it's better because I've named the problem, which is that I don't do well when I get my energy too scattered around because I've gotten too distracted by too many things going on. I don't know how much anxiety has to do with this, and fear of the unknown. Perhaps the higher self was like: "Oh, today is actually a good day to get a little bit scattered and fall to pieces, just a little bit. It's better if you do it today than if you did it another day."

Whenever your brain gets fixated on something, maybe it says what you're interested in.

And maybe that's interesting information. And maybe you should be more concerned about migrants and children being locked away in detention centers. Because you are a part of society. And if more people in society had the ability to be concerned about migrants and children being locked away in detention centers paid for by the dollars being taken from the American taxpayers, maybe it wouldn't be happening to other people's children anymore, like some nightmare being repeated from some other nightmarish time. Why isn't the brain more interested in that?

Guess what? My brain didn't think that was actually true either.

"You only live one life." Yes, you only live one unique life in this body, but my body seemed to have been designed to believe our spirits can live multiple lives. And in other cultures, that's considered normal. 

Society should start having more acceptance of motherly men too.

Why not? Why not have more acceptance of the grandmotherly men as well, while you're at it?

Such is life. Property matters.

Anyways, nothing is perfect and people who don't do things in a traditional way will probably make lots of mistakes. I guess time will tell if more people think the traditional ways really were better in the long run for everybody.

Meaning, were those traditional ways actually healthy for society overall and not just a stop gap measure for some people to temporarily get by as best as people around them could see fit at that time.

Keep in mind that traditional ways used to mean that I would have to be somebody's property and I couldn't vote. And I certainly couldn't keep the same name I was born with. And I would have to wear specific regalia that showed whose property I was. All of the time. Not just as a temporary, fun playful thing. No, property all of the time. Property of somebody else, all of the f****** time.

Can you give yourself a day off from being someone else's property??? What about cosplaying as somebody else's property???

It kind of messes with your mind. Properly.

Some traditional heterosexual parents were trained to act like hero-worshipping a rich dad who's a rapist is their favorite thing, better than Jesus. Maybe they had some very cruel granddaddies, who didn't treat the women and children well back when all the women and children were seen as the property of the men, and they still can't quite come to terms with that, so that's why a rich rapist daddy who is the most applauded by Patriarchal Culture in the modern era still appeals to them so much?

Sadly...

Traditional patriarchal heterosexual parenting also traditionally makes a lot of excuses for rape culture. It kind of makes you wonder why they still feel like they have to do that, sometimes. Painful stuff. 

Your society is not child-centric at all.

It's Patriarchal. I don't think a child-centric Society would be locking away a bunch of migrant children in detention centers right now. The way the patriarchal sexual assault nightmare people are running things is not good for children.

Yeah, thanks. That was really helpful to hear throughout my childhood.

"All children should only have one He - Man - Father and one She - Woman - Mother. Anything else is blasphemy! And they should all just carry the one He-Man Father's name, because they're all his Property. That's the one and only Healthy Way!"

Anyways, I think if you have a lot of strict rules about what's healthy, you end up with more abandoned children.

Because many people who end up having children simply cannot live up to the standards that Patriarchal Society places on parents. And if they seem like they do and they're faking it, that's f***** up too.

Judgey online life.

"I bet her relationship is really based on lots of rules about strict gender roles too." 

Reaction to a woman who made a video talking about how the lifestyles she finds very distasteful and unhealthy are obviously very unhealthy and distasteful for everybody. Obviously, everybody in the comments agreed with her. Also, she had big boobs and wore a very tight shirt and a lot of the comments were about her chest. 

Anyways, what about the deceased parents? That's the topic that's more comfortable to me.

Some of the modern parents' content are making me think Society would progress faster if some dads were more like moms and if some moms were more like dads and that's a lot to process right now.

Time to eat tacos and watch this.

Actually, there's a Greek place nearby that does a burger with gyro meat piled on it and it's been an extremely long time since I've tried that, but...

It's a very dense sandwich. It's a lot. Maybe I could split it. Like, either with a person, or eat a portion earlier, and then a portion later. 

And have a really nice salad. 

That sounds kind of good, actually.

I've woken up several times now. Pray for my period to lighten! I like lighter periods. They're more fun. And I had a dream where there was like a thing they might do nowadays where the girls in an apartment were hinting to offer to make tea in case somebody needed to be saved from somebody else, and it was like, nobody needs saving, all right. Nobody needs saving. The tea is good though. Maybe people want tea.

Sensitivity makes life more fun, too.

Sensitive people might suffer more, but they also get to experience more nuances and sometimes I think they literally feel more sensations, too, and they can experience more surprises. It's like, even lying by yourself in bed and then suddenly being sensitive about something that's unfolding can be an engrossing experience. But then sometimes, when sensitive people get overwhelmed, they  feel like they have to rest more and be by themselves to get more centered and grounded.

Maybe weight is just what needs to get examined

For the purpose of our social evolution, I will admit I kind of feel like pretending I'm unacceptable as long as I give in to a bag of Doritos that gets brought home after a grocery run is kind of a safe space, but it's certainly not the optimal safe space. And also, it's not entirely pretending when society just expects women to be smaller and skinnier. I mean, I certainly have had to pay attention to this stuff my whole life. You know, I actually have a memory of living, or of visiting, rather, Michigan, and seeing some commercial on TV for Pringles and there was a bunch of skinny girls running around on the farm and they were all so happy to be eating their Pringles together and I was filled with despair because I was like, I'm never going to be that skinny, and I'm still going to want to eat the Pringles. And I don't understand, how come they get to eat the Pringles and be skinny? But then it was kind of weird because I got a little bit more skinny, for a little while, a few years later. Oh I think I found the commercial.

Patriarchal culture hates people who have deep feelings.

Maybe I got wiped out by how I was feeling because I was trained to ignore how I was feeling until the feeling gets overwhelming. The cat does not do that. The cat is incredibly content at this time.

The cat thinks I'm amazing.

I feel like my cat put her needs first by asking me to feed her but also now acts like she appreciates me and she loves me a lot.

This is why people are nicer when they're more in touch with nature. 🌎

Humans have gotten really out of touch with nature. It's complete arrogance. Humans wouldn't even be here without nature.

My pure and not at all sugar-coated opinion.

Boys need to be trained to not be like that. Most boys did not have access to the right training when it comes to how to treat other humans in this life. Honestly, a lot of girls and women are also kind of trained to be assholes by the patriarchy too. Bragging about how they never get cramps? Some moms were actually like that. Well my mom wasn't but other moms were. Get out of my face. It's not going to be so valued in the future to be such a jerk to your fellow human beings.

Auuugh, heal me universe. 😭🩸🙏🏼

As if it required Herculean effort, I made a cup of bone broth, boiled water for both tea and raspberry leaf infusion, swallowed B12 boron and bee pollen, and fed the cat, and I feel smacked in the face by life's busy-ness and a lack of empathy right now because I have extreme sensitivity going on. I feel like I've died today. It's fine. I can get reborn. Maybe I can just take a nap and wake up and have enough supplies left to either go to the store or else I really will use Doordash. I just have to face up to my reality for today.

Okay, body, raspberry leaf tea is coming.

Times like this make me think I don't even know myself at all.

I have to fortify myself.

I guess the menstrual period is king. I'm suddenly wiped out, running low on supplies, and can't believe I'm considering DDing this stuff now.

I think I need a nap.

I feel kind of wiped out.

I could do a little ritual.

For embarrassment of the eight year olds. Like when I was a child and I made two toy horses kiss for the first time and one boy told the other about it and maybe they were just delighted to make fun of it. So embarrassing! (That was at a nice house in the Catskills, or else it was in some mountainous area that I thought was the Catskills.) And when the boys were crying for some reason and their fathers (military guys) would get embarrassed and yell at them. But I was allowed to cry more than them because I was a girl. That was so embarrassing, too. Well maybe that was around Storm King. That probably makes more sense. The game farm was in the Catskills. Storm King has vistas of the Catskills.

Also why I stopped after just two COVID vaccines and didn't get any of the boosters.

Passing ginormous blood clots for days after getting the vaccines! It reminded me of a very anemic time. I wonder how many years it will take before they know why that happened to some people?

Also, another list that was probably more fun to make was...

(In response to people who could be tempted to think things like, "You're just jealous" or "This is a schtick / gimmick" ...)

That's an interesting point of view to consider.  

However. 

Have you also considered these...

"Well, you may think I'm just jealous, but now I think 'You're just incurious.'"

"You're just not as interested in more kinds of people getting seen on a larger scale."

"...more satisfied with conventional standards."

"...not very open to alternative viewpoints."

"...not very sensitive when it comes to this particular topic."

"...being resistant to considering a more feminist point of view."

"...falling back on your anti-inclusivity programming."

"...being too obstinate to care about others' experiences."

"... relying on a very limited patriarchal perspective when it comes to health and humanity."

"...being activated to to perpetuate old patterns rather than create new ones."

"... acting resistant to this new information that you don't want to consider."

"...threatened by a hint of knowledge that indicates you might still not know very much about some things."

"...being too stubborn to see that it might be important to include perspectives that you previously were encouraged to diminish or discount."

"...on the edge of considering other points of view, but you're acting like you're not quite ready for it yet. Give it a little more time!"

The brain attached to this body can get distracted.

So to start, and not get overwhelmed, there will be tasks on lists and these categories:

1) junk drawer 

a) keep if you use it daily, weekly or monthly 

b) trash if you want to throw it away completely 

c) donate 

d) wait and see 

That was a good idea, because there's somebody who made a video about having a "Wait and see" bin.

It's morning now.🌄

What should you do if your body wants you to exercise in the morning but you want to stay inside?

I was wondering about that after seeing the video of the evening exercise - at - home routine where the woman lit candles and making exercise into more of a dark, soft, nurturing, self-care experience...

Well, maybe sometimes this is how I wish my animus and my other animus would act if my inner 19-year-old ever ran into another VMI guy at a mixer who liked my peasant girl dress and said it reminded him of some of the stuff that he liked to see women wear, and yet, according to him, in the presence of the other military guys, he wouldn't wear his ancestral kilt. This was back in the 1990s.

I guess I still find that to be really funny.

Well, I liked "Train Dreams"

And the flight in the yellow plane was interesting.

I found a picture of a plane my sister and I saw flying over a park I like to go to when she was visiting.

Savage times.

Trees maimed and murdered men.

Community quilting bee people?

Does the woman in this film have any friends or family?

Also, rural women used to earn money in various ways. Selling eggs. Sewing.

Spontaneous insight.

Might revisit some Henry James.

Alternating between mature and youthful mindsets is...

Timber!

What a biologically significant time to take in the cinema. Can I learn anything about women of another century's handling of their monthly courses?

Oh nice! It's the lesser known William Carlos Williams plum poem.

I'm just...encouraged by the universe to think about things like this.

I don't know if you think it could happen in this life or the next life, but it might be fun if some people's parents came back as some other people's little kids. So anyways...That's so much responsibility! Maybe just put that thought on hold; that's on the shelf for now. Probably the next life. Probably that's when that sort of thing would start happening. More often.

Oh, ha-ha, very adult '90s joke.

I tolerated the "Train Dreams" trailer better now.

Well, I got reminded that I feel like both an extremely diluted ancestry on one side, and something left over from previous lifetimes (probably even more so), makes me want to see more Native American characters in the films that feature nature.

The Pacific Northwest is so alluring!

Apparently, now we might want to watch "Train Dreams" over here??? I might have to look at the trailer again and see if I still feel like screaming. Or not.

It's very sunny outside but I'm going to be inside under the covers right now.

How many days left for this lifetime? I'm sleeping with two heating pads because I have chills, but glad my uterus is not cramping. I have a rough pebble right front tooth now and on the other side, my nose hurts. It's time for a Sunday afternoon nap after a Sunday afternoon nap. Siesta number one; siesta number two.

Coins can be trinkets.

Parties on yachts on one side of the coin. 

Shuffling around in a low wage position on the other side of the coin.

Should I wonder something else?

What do I sometimes wonder? Well, I wonder if some of the more artistic people went to parties on yachts while I was performing the duties of my low-wage positions. Like, was it the kind of thing where they got to partake of an exciting lifestyle, yet at the end of the evening, their hearts were hollow, so then they had to become more spiritual? And in the meantime, some of us were shuffling around at the bottom. How strange. I wonder why it seems this way?

Well, I guess some things aren't supposed to be too easy.

I guess God likes it when people take a little time and space to grow and learn to take better care of themselves.

I have a weird little mini crisis happening again because after I ate taquitos, the back of the temporary crown feels too rough, so something probably came off the back of it. 

Also I guess more people are just going to have to figure out how to be better to girls and women based on their characters and not be so focused on their looks, or how much some egos are being catered to.

Everything's in a developmental phase.

Patriarchy really messed up men.

It's unbelievable how much anger or rage a girl or a woman can appear to provoke in a Patriarchal man just by opening her mouth and having a different opinion. All kinds of violence starts to break out. Physical violence, losing it, rages, screaming. And that's how the culture trained the Patriarchal men to react.  The Patriarchal culture trained them to inflict violence on girls and women just because of some words coming out and not being sweet enough for their liking.

It's nuts. It's ridiculous.

A lot of the men were not okay in the past. 

Some of them are still not okay.

Such a "sweep everything under the rug" cult-ure it's been.

This cult-ure is still very insensitive towards survivors of trauma. People are becoming more open and communicative now than they used to be, but I really think that there's such a long ways to go still.

I like how being out in nature more can make a lot of things feel more flexible.

Anyways past things have passed so now we know more than we used to. We know who doesn't feel like being particularly sensitive and romantic (and has blatantly said so) but is steady and open-minded and amusing and can be very good company. We know who likes to have a simpler life and who already has a more complicated one. We know who likes to play video games the most, but can also enjoy spending more time out in nature.

Sensitive people need to be more careful than other people.

Muscles can get a hold of very weird information sometimes. For example, if you're a sensitive person, you might go to a sweet person who's a body worker, but not knowing that the sweet person is in a bad relationship and is in denial about it. Something happens in the session and afterwards you have some of the worst pain you've ever experienced and you immediately have to go to a chiropractor the next day and get a lot of special treatment on it. But since you know this is a sweet person and you are not skilled at communicating sometimes and also at the time you were unaware that their partner was being sinister or cheating on them with escorts...There was a lot of suffering that happened in between that session and that chiropractic treatment. Now you shouldn't hold on to it, but you will never forget the memory of that time. (Agony.)

Modern parenting!

People who are in the middle of a process of healing can be fragile.

Cultural norms can be too crushing. All the tears from unresolved childhood pain come to the surface. Staring at a rock wall in California echoes staring at rock cliffs in the Catskills. The sensitive people who didn't get very much support (because the Patriarchal Culture really loves ignorance) don't need to be around insensitive ones. Imagine if the culture began sufficiently acknowledging more people though.

Btw, even though I am not a mom...

Lots of people wouldn't have their creative and financial lives lined up the way they do right now without the existence of someone's mother.

I'm sure I'll figure out how to become the next thing I can be soon.

I became a girl who got access to an album and later I figured out I wanted to listen to it again when I didn't know what to do.

Lessons be lessoning.

I think I have some military guy energy around me. It's not just from this lifetime. It's not about the military guy being out on the field. It's more like he's laying on his bed in the barracks staring up at the ceiling and getting some kind of lessons just from being there.

It's evening. There are some wonderful things going on, out there.

Maybe I'll make a work of art and I'll call it "Feeling like you're failing intensely can still be funny and interesting." The only reason why it feels like you're failing intensely is because you're scrambling your way up to another level of consciousness, but you can't do it as fast as you wish you could. Surely, that must be something that explains a state of needing to change more than you can see how to change in one evening. Or maybe another phrase for it that would work for some people is "learning about cultivating patience."


Time to get spiritual...

Got any insights transmuted from God to human mind?

It will be so interesting to find out.

I feel like I have some. 

It seems to me that I'm fine with other people being more successful than me and perhaps even prefer it because you know what we can't all be good at talking to the large crowds. I mean I'm sure I could get better at it but I don't have to make it my life mission. 

And what else. 

I like to learn new things. 

And what else. 

I like brave people, even if bravery gets very embarrassing sometimes.

I get to learn more about the keep on going feeling in this life.

I wonder why experiencing a certain kind of female body has to feel so punitive when you're living in a patriarchal society sometimes. 

When I didn't have cramps (but I probably still had imbalances and issues) I think I gained more weight because pain was not keeping me in check when I consumed food in ways that were not optimal for health.

Now I have to make lifestyle changes again.

I mean, I've seen other people in other kinds of bodies consume food in ways that are not optimal for health too, but they don't seem to experience the same kinds of consequences.

It's almost as if there's forces at work in society that are trying to keep the knowledge away...

Yes, it feels that way.

Now I have to hold out until the next feeling of wonderful wellness again.

I'm feeling pained, crippled and maimed every time cramps come back, and these cramps had been not here for so long. I thought they were done with. It was nice to go for months and months and months without any cramps. It didn't fix everything but it was kind of cool.

And this is what a phone can do these days.

This is just scratching the surface.

People might need to consider what happens when self-immolation becomes attractive or desirable or intoxicating or like it's what God wants you to do. Sometimes people probably need to develop skills in order to handle certain situations better. Actually, it just might be very basic communication skills, that's all? Is your mind online? Is your higher mind going to help you if your mind is not online? Are you capable of listening? Are you going to be in flow and harmony? Are you going to do good work and help yourself?

Wisdom is expanding...

Really think they should study temporary pain dulling effects because after cramps and then feeling better and then going to a Pilates class at the beginning of the class I didn't seem to feel pain as much as other people. It only lasted about for the first 10 minutes of class though. (No meds. Unless you count rubbing black currant seed oil into the skin as medicine.)

Then they get expired, I mean, inspired, and then they get to have a different experience again later.

People aren't designed to have the top tier intoxicating experiences 24/7. It just happens once in awhile.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=_6gwyvZvnXY&si=uP5xRXqUEGn0IDDA

Friday's been kind of exciting.

I tried out group meditation for the first time in many years and it was more painful and stressful than I expected.  There were lots of very specific instructions and the guy in charge wore robes and regalia.

It made me miss the lighter touch of women who led meditation sessions when I was younger. One was from a town in northern Michigan (where was it? Maybe Cheboygan) at school in Binghamton. In Virginia, there was a pregnant woman I really liked who led donation-based meditation sessions at a yoga studio.

Anyways, it was just a reminder that I don't relax so well around controlling men. Even if they have good intentions. My body really tenses up.  But there was another woman there who's been there several times. She seemed relaxed enough. So it's clearly not everybody's problem. It's my issue, I guess.

It was by far the most regimented meditation class I've been to. So maybe I just haven't been to a lot of traditional ones.

When I switched from sitting on cushions to sitting on a chair (I had back pain) after a break from sitting and a walking meditation I was instructed to put the chair over the cushions, which were next to the instructor. So we didn't have the cushions in between us, which is what I would have liked.

I felt like I was being made to sit next to the instructor so I could be assessed. 

It was tense. I had not some very not harmonious thoughts, especially as the tension in my back intensified and crept upward. 

Oh and then I was going to relax in the chair and  immediately the instruction was try to sit forward,  sit up straight. This wasn't helping my back muscle tension at all! And since he wasn't interested, I didn't feel like saying I can't because of the back muscle tension. I just did it and then relaxed when everybody's eyes were closed. But it wasn't a great relaxing time. My back still hurt.

At the end of it, we were invited to speak. I was able to mention the back muscle tension and then then somehow his focus went to stories about monks doing things like cutting off their arms and immolating themselves and I prayed menstrual cramps wouldn't start happening. I felt so far away from my water bottle. And my ibuprofen.

But I knew it's not like he expected us to be like those monks or anything. It's just that's where his mind went and I didn't necessarily need my mind to go there with him. 

He did seem to know it went a little off track and said, "You'll have to forgive me."

So I was tense, and afterwards I decided, look, I've been pretty good with my eating today. I ate very minimally. I was thinking about Ayurveda. But I'm tense now after my meditation session, so maybe I'll get an ice cream. 

And I was going to get the Superman ice cream. Cuz I was thinking about the meditation instructor from Michigan, and that's a Michigan ice cream.

But I knew I didn't want to run into the robed and well-intentioned if he wanted an ice cream, too, so I made sure to walk around the block first. After dialoguing with myself a little more, I decided, sure. Why not just get a small cup of Superman ice cream. I was about to walk into the shop that sold it when I saw the robes. I turned around and went into a different ice cream shop. 

And that's where I got this!

I was my own sugar daddy tonight.

A Saranac Shirley Temple ice cream soda. I asked them to substitute Rose honeysuckle ice cream for vanilla. I don't think many men are ordering that, huh? Not that there would be anything wrong with it if they did. 

Anyways, it was good for a little while and then it got very sweet. I did finish up all the ice cream but I poured out the rest of the Shirley Temple soda because that much sugar is not necessarily my friend. 

But I get to relax at home with my beans and cactus and toasted tortilla now. 

The more relaxed meditation instructor could have been from Cheboygan.

It's really good to have access to information about different approaches to health.

Feeling a little bit fascinated. (And amused.)

I seemingly lost 5 lbs the day after I binged on top tier (IMO) chocolate (perhaps it was water weight?) so I'm not following the app's rules about carbs. But I might just get more interested in nutrition for other reasons. Like being able to appreciate my food and eat more vegetables.

Just lots of processing is still going on / happening, I guess!

I just realized it's kind of funny that I saw Nine Inch Nails in concert as a teenager, but I didn't see Tori Amos in concert until I was several decades older.

Be patient. God will introduce her to nicer people soon...

"God does not ultimately abandon her. Only in recent decades have feminist readers of these texts pointed to the ways in which they reflect and reify violence against women. These texts suggest that women are generally the property of men, and as such, may be controlled, manipulated, and brutalized."

I don't know. Maybe I'll just drink tea or water for now.

I had eggs and cactus and salsa for lunch and I'm thinking about getting ice cream.

Bothered.

If he's either a great feminist boy or young man or a great feminist girl or young woman now, I wouldn't be very surprised.

Nirvana - "Rape Me (Live And Loud, Seattle / 1993)"

I didn't used to like this song very much though. I was so much younger then! Oh also, I guess he wrote it in response to finding out that a girl was raped while the rapist was singing one of their other songs and I didn't know that because there didn't used to be all this information available on the internet so easily.

But don't you have anything nice to say?

I guess they love Jesus more than Epstein loved Jesus, and Epstein loved raped girls more than they love raped girls? Yikes! That's super messed up. 

Epstein didn't love raped girls. 

Jesus.

Not really.

Has anything they've done indicated to you that they've ever felt compelled to be or were encouraged to be particularly kind to the plethora of raped teenage girls that are out there in the world right now?

I just don't see why more teenage girls should suffer on account of your deficiencies.

I think you have Great Cosmic Mother Deficiency Energy.

I mean let's look at who you do identify with.

Did you ever in your life believe that you, too, could become more prosperous by raping a teenage girl in the eyes of the Lord or in the name of the Lord?

Is there any one in particular that you identify with or feel you might resemble the most?

All rapists are children of God! Very highly favored children.

"That's all it was."

"A very daughterly affair."

What are you saying??

Are you implying that some dads have raped teenagers out of consideration for their daughters' marital prospects??

How about as a Clever Matchmaker??

"Daughters of rapists are still highly prized and very sought after by the most valued members of Patriarchal Society. Very valuable matches;  incredibly favored in terms of useful marital alliances."

Or are there any other options?

Do you think he'll come back as a blonde rapist or as a girl who meets a rapist?

Let it marinate.

Let's think about how people react when you talk about this topic versus how they react when you talk about that topic.

This is true.

The more feminist you are, the more your cat will love you.

Oh, I like her stuff...Cursed feminist stuff.

I will say I don't enjoy memorizing these and I did have to talk about them a lot in a former life. But nevertheless, I do think they are still interesting and well worth considering in certain cases.

Sometimes I have wondered if I should write skits...
