I think it's the Moon. The Full Moon. The Full, look at your bank account Moon.
Health is wealth. Oh, health! Okay, let's be nice to our bodies. Let's be really nice to them. We certainly can get the message that we need to do better for ourselves when it comes to that sort of thing.
It's really funny because it seemed like I was just doing the right thing for a while, however strange, and the universe was letting me do that thing. But now, I'm like, wait a second. I need to start earning $ again, soon.
It's the end of the month, a full moon and halfway to Halloween (apparently, or that's what I learned tonight.) I live in a material world, so I need to figure out a way to start earning money again soon. I guess I'm going to pray and stuff about it. What should I do, who should I ask, what kind of work would be beneficial for my health, etcetra. Oh, I could do some bookkeeping for the side hustle, but that's not really making extra money come into the household if you live with the person who's paying you. Also, I've never done bookkeeping for money, so I have to sort of learn it and stuff.

"Fulton thought about her paternal grandmother, who died in childbirth and left seven children behind.

Yes, your traumatized grandchild will want to hug a stuffed animal in the ER, too.
I think I have finally stopped running away from the traumatized by the patriarchal cads endangering reproductive rights energy.
I think you'd start acting like a better person if you started hanging out with people who are actually going to expect you to act like a better person. You're very influenced by others.
Do you think your mother has to reincarnate as a man like you in order to have a nice life? I also kind of hope that if she knocked somebody up in her man's body, she wouldn't traumatize them by doing it.
I'm starting to feel like your mother and I are almost equally unvaluable to most of the people you know or have known.
However, I am not currently homeless, so that's a stroke of luck for me. And my mental health seems to be somewhat more stable (it's still not as good as it could be for sure), no thanks to the sloppy laziness of the servants of this really messed up and inequitable patriarchal society, which is filled with parents who voted for a rapist of women and children just so they could have a little bit more money in their pockets.
And now they're locking away children, the children that you're not supposed to care about, in detention facilities. And they don't even get the money. Where are their morals and values?
I see hardly any evidence at all that being a parent makes you a more moral or outstanding person. It might make you more servile to a patriarchal regime, though.
However, I'm not talking about all parents. I might not be talking about the parents you know either.
I'm just saying that I've been asked to be more observant of some of the behavior patterns that cause more inequity and suffering when you're born with a certain set of genetics.
I'm thinking of the student who bluntly told me that the girls who can't get pregnant get cast out to a far away village in her country. Just imagine! Okay, so would you rather be cast out to a far off village or locked up in a detention facility by unscrupulous ICE agents?
Actually, I think I'd rather be passed out to the rural village because you could get in tune with nature and maybe become a wise herbalist more easily there, than in a detention facility.
Anyways, "You're a miserable outcast urchin and I'm the thin and beautiful and easily impregnated one in this orphanage" will return after another uplifting song from one of our generously endowed by the patriarchal cult sponsors.
Maybe it's been difficult for certain kinds of women to function at optimal levels in a patriarchal society

Lady in Red... You're going to have to chase a lawyer around the restaurant when she's drunk and scantily clothed... And other people will make fun of how she's mad and kind of a mean drunk and really angry underneath all of her little weird flirtations that she likes to do when she's not drunk... but you have a moral obligation to make sure someone doesn't take advantage of her incapacitated state... Because life has definitely set things up for you to feel this way... And as part of this whole process you'll take away her phone to try to call for help ... then she'll growl and jump on you like a cat and you'll give up....you'll give up and then she'll get home fine...but she'll call you and make you give her a blow by blow account the next day and...she'll still act mad at you about everything... So fun! Hope she found the right man to marry.
The punitive patriarchy will need to either die or fizzle out. Also, so crazy that apparently my higher self wanted me to be a bigger size at this moment, since it feels like I gained XX amount of weight in such a short span of time.
Another question I find really interesting is, if you're the survivor of some forms of violence and you're living in a patriarchal society, then does the any aspect of society encourage you to pay attention to that part of you that might become more empathetic to other people and their experiences as a result of your experience? Or does the patriarchal society instead ask you to ignore and shove that down and reward you more for going along with certain agendas if you're living your life in a certain type of body?
Nature can help people have conversations, and maybe it would be fun to ask questions and compare notes and administer flower essences and get in touch with the earth or water or air or fire elements and things like that.

I am starting to remember...this didn't actually happen to me, but I knew a person whose dad would get so mad, that he would say: "If you're very lucky, you can have a relationship with me again someday." Not so nice for a dad to say. Probably had lots of unresolved trauma from his childhood to work on.
I'm literally never ever ever going to have to go through something like this ever again, and that's fantastic.
Maybe they'll try harder to figure out how to have higher standards for how they believe certain members of our society should be treated.
People can be quite shocking in regards to what they expect others to just go along with.
And if any of your kids or grandkids have infertility problems or need to have abortions or have any other reproductive health rights issues, I hope they're experiences are absolutely idyllic considering that you're so great at acting like you just really don't give a s*** about those kinds of things because you're so invested in acting like such a brainwashed tool of this Awful Patriarchal Society. Be better! Do well.
I don't know, I find this to be a very hard time of life right now, but I'm sure things will get better.

“'This is all driven by the Trump administration’s cruel and xenophobic mass deportation agenda of rounding up and warehousing longtime members of our communities, forcing them to either endure indefinite detention under inhumane con"itions or, out of desperation, to make the devastating choice to leave their families and communities behind,' said Loren Khogali, executive director of the ACLU of Michigan."

You know, in another era, when things are not so sick and twisted. It's bizarre. It's truly bizarre.
Like being trapped in the kitchen of a restaurant as a low wage worker, listening to the "How Bizarre" song. What is wrong with people? Why are they not behaving better? Why don't they enjoy behaving better? Why are they making other people do all the work? How hard could it goddamn possibly be to behave just a wee bit better. Just a smidge.

They probably don't want to because they're afraid they might like it and they have to convince themselves that they like what they're doing right now the best, and that they're doing the absolute best they can for themselves, and they're just so stubborn and so addicted to their ways, and I just I can't deal with them right now.
Maybe they'll have a great emotional release, a cleansing, and a great spiritual awakening will descend upon them. That would be kind of cool.
"Hundreds protest in Romulus against proposal to convert warehouse into ICE detention center"
"As shown in research and studies, an estimated 80% of people affected by violent conflicts, civil wars, disasters and displacement are women and children. The lifetime prevalence of the rate of violence against women ranges from 16% to 50% while every 1 in 5 women suffers from rape or attempted rape. The most common mental health issues faced by the elderly are depression and dementia, a majority affected being women."

We are really raised differently, aren't we?
Yes, we are.
I look forward to some people elevating themselves in ways that are not just feeding their insecurities / egos, but are helping them heal, and they can probably become super great at cultivating some of the other forms of "love" besides the ones that kept sucking them under and throwing them off balance because this is / has been a challenging lifetime for them to experience a lot of things, so at times it has been pretty hard row for them to hoe.

On Manpreet’s birthday – which came about one month into the family’s detention – her parents assembled a sort of 'cake' made with snacks they bought from the center’s commissary, and everyone in the cafeteria sang Happy Birthday to her. But there were no candles. If there were, she said, she would have blown them out and wished that she and her family could get out of Dilley.'

I think these are like some past life things that I feel I don't want or need to participate in this life at the moment:
Being shaped by a Patriarchal Society to act like a jerk the moment something triggers my insecurities but still being charming enough about it so that I get accepted.
"I was a jerk but at least I was still charming about it" gets perpetuated as if it is an art form.
Oh and then when it gets revealed that I acted like kind of a jerk, do most people ever actually challenge me or talk to me about it? Or do they just sort of arrange their lives in a way to accommodate me being a jerk? Oh, why do they feel that it's better for them if they have to do it the second way?
Behaving like some kind of manipulative church pastor or professor drawn into a dynamic where the followers are feeding off of the leader, and the leader is feeding off of the adoration of the followers.
The reason why I don't want to act like either of these characters is because these are the kind of people that mess up other people's lives and perpetuate harm. And it's really unnecessary and I don't think people should continue to accept it as good enough.
People feel entitled to be insensitive and boorish, and it permits them to survive in a way where it's like they're wearing blinders on purpose, and they are refusing to see the harm that's a result of the things that are happening now, and those are things which will be talked about a lot more in the future.
But in the present they're still operating in survival mode, and they're just trying to pretend that it's not that big a deal and that they don't have to care, because apparently, that's the best they expect from themselves.
Because an elderly woman in a teal sweatshirt asked for help and I was able to give her a blanket from my car and someone else was able to give her $5 and she walked away and she was crying. I usually have used the blanket to go to the park on a picnic and one side of it keeps out the dew so I think that's hopefully going to be helpful. I have another one at home I might take with me in the car from now on.
Why should I have to go through years of suffering and chewing and being triggered and having these weird mixture of, like, conglomerations of other lives memories, all interlacing with each other, for nothing? Just because some other people are a little bit more selfish and don't want to think about others or see others as being as important as they are, because apparently that's what you feel you must do in order to succeed in your patriarchal cult.
Of course, we're all so incredibly happy that nothing that's even nearly as bad as what happened there is going on now. However, I wonder if the masculine men who are more musically developed could be gaining access to extra resources, as opposed to the ladies who might be locked away in the camp's Joy Division? This does not have to be a literal thing, you guys.
Why not try harder to not create circumstances that make your great grandkids feel embarrassed by your behaviors. Why not?
Whenever you notice a woman is acting like men are more important, it's a great reminder that a lot of men are constantly acting that way. Why are they still acting that way? What do they get out of it? Things to just mull over and ponder. Let it marinate; come to some conclusions later. Might take a while.
When the fun middle-aged people revert to some younger people types of dynamics, because I guess there was some stuff they never worked out in their younger years, and now it's coming back so it can get healed, hopefully???
That could also mean being a "high performer" in a totally different occupation, like accounting or real estate sales or something.
And I don't think that ignoring when things are going wrong in the country with immigrants being persecuted is actually a very high form of self-care.
I wonder if maybe people do that because they feel they deserve better than what they've seen. Other people go through or than what their ancestors went through, but what if it's just spiritual bypassing.
I feel bad we didn't get a well society that could give the emotionally sensitive people some better tools to help them. Maybe I have felt like I needed to look harder for them because I don't get a lot out of performing in front of others. Although it's not like sometimes it wouldn't be fun, but it's just not my primary orientation. And also, I got a lot of pressure put on me to look out for others. And I have to learn how to balance that with taking better care of myself now. Getting really stressed out and chewing on my clothes wasn't my best life.
Sometimes it feels like if some people had different dads, they'd be acting really differently at this moment in our time...

Oh how annoying now a song that was annoying seems to have some better parts to it. But some parts of the song are still so annoying.
There's some brothers in this society who could have been better with / been better to other people, so their whole "let's get quite intimate, and now let's have a big party; no, let's be quiet now; okay, let's have an enormous party again" dynamic is just kind of like when the tides ebb and flow, or when the waves come crashing down, but then things can get calmer again...
