"Anybody seen 'Central Station' (1998)?"
"When I was in kindergarten, my mother was already warning me to be vigilant. Decades later, America elected a president who famously bragged about grabbing women 'by the pussy.' That vulgar phrase — excused as locker-room talk and shrugged off by millions of Americans — was an exact description of what happened to my mother that day at the mall. She was sexually assaulted while boys laughed and strangers looked away. And even now, the misconduct and sexual violence of Harvey Weinstein, Sean 'Diddy' Combs, Jeffrey Epstein and too many other men prove that these stories are very much still worth warning us about.
I feel my mother’s absence every day, and it’s especially urgent this time of year. My grief is anger that my mother died, and anger that she suffered for years before she died. It’s anger that she had to teach me about violence before she got to teach me so many other things. Anger that women are still expected to absorb shame quietly and move on. Anger that in 2026, we are still arguing over whether women are believable.
This Mother’s Day, I’m tired of trying to squeeze myself into someone else’s tidy narrative about what love and grief are supposed to look like. Instead, I’m going to honor my mother’s full legacy — not just the parts that fit neatly into an Instagram caption. I’m going to hold the beauty of the day alongside my ire, and the tenderness alongside the truth: I feel anger for the world she had to prepare me for.
Rage is my inheritance, too."

"The Defiance of Marjane Satrapi" - The Atlantic
"When the news broke last week that Marjane Satrapi, the French Iranian artist best known for the groundbreaking graphic memoir Persepolis, had died at age 56, I had what turned out to be a common reaction: That’s impossible. A friend wrote to me that Satrapi seemed invincible, which feels correct—not only because of the bold vitality of her books and films and public statements but also because Persepolis is, in so many ways, about survival."

"Who Gets Believed? by Dina Nayeri – why asylum seekers struggle to be understood"
"Nayeri learned the value of performance early. Fleeing Isfahan after Iran’s Islamic revolution with her Christian mother, she wound up at a refugee camp outside Rome. Little Dina would sit around campfires with other refugees “practising, tailoring our stories for asylum officer[s], knowing that our lives depended on what the officer found credible”.
Later, during her training at Harvard Business School and then working for management consultant McKinsey, Nayeri became fully fluent in the “glossolalia” of business speak, deploying to clients such aggressively meaningless phrases as “directionally correct”, “outperforming at scale” and, my favourite, “achieving granularity”.
What Nayeri learned, she writes, “is how to be believed – how to be the one people want to believe, feel safe believing”. Sri Lankan torture victims and Ugandan lesbian asylum seekers rarely get such training.
“The refugee in me fumed,” writes Nayeri. “These lessons exist, have long existed and have been handed to those who need them least. The rules were created for the children of the (native and colonising) rich. I just happened to be in the room.” The author now teaches creative writing in the UK at St Andrews University, no doubt coaching students in how to give literary performances believable enough to woo cultural gatekeepers – agents, publishers, critics – as she has."

It feels good to have a more positive attitude. It feels great to be emotionally supported by a white guy whose look is less like what the Nazis would have preferred. Sometimes, the callously uncaring ones were also really callous and uncaring towards certain kinds people because of other reasons.

I did try to have a fruitful caring conversation with them, but they were sort of self-absorbed, but I do think they were good at gardening. They definitely weren't going to be sorry about anything. And even though I said I would be back, as I drove away from their estate, I thought to myself, maybe I should just never come back here again.

And it kind of makes you feel like more people would live a lot longer and have a better time in their existences...

I have lots of herbal supplements and probably some PTSD from seeing how side effects from psychotropic medications affected others after experiencing less horrible but still really not fun side effects myself.
And also there was the whole incident where the massive doses of black currant seed oil stopped the bleeding when whatever the allopathic doctors gave me was making me have horrible menstrual cramps, and at the same time I got told about a woman who was undergoing a hysterectomy for the exact same problem I was having.
Which made me feel like an impending hysterectomy got stopped by the black currant seed oil capsules.
And also, not everybody can get their paychecks from the same imbalanced work environments and truly be psychologically okay with it.

"I have to choose healer over artist" and now I have chills. Literally my body breaks down over this stuff. I can't do it anymore. I have too much to deal with right now. I have to delegate. Or if I can manage to fall asleep and wake up, sometimes that helps.
Maybe I can take flower essences or supplements too. I wonder if I can make myself take a nap and if I wake up then the sensitivity won't be as much anymore? I'm doing things for it that are supposed to help with sensitivity.
I have so many tasks to consider and it feels overwhelming sometimes! And now a tooth is being sensitive again!
People who are called to be creative have a difficult time following a certain path because something's telling them they're supposed to do something different. And doing something different is not always very easy or acceptable.
People have to learn how to take care of their nervous systems and their health and then they have all these other people around them trying to make them do things in a certain way and that is not necessarily the way that might be the best for their health.
Well I'm disappointed about the tooth sensitivity I have had with the veneer. I don't think I really needed or wanted a veneer. I think bonding would have been better on the veneer damages. The tooth more and takes away more of the enamel but it's supposed to look better on the outside and I don't really think I needed it and now it's bothering me.
And it lately seems interesting that the good experience I had with dental work happened with Persian dentist, and it was more of healing . And it was all complicated and it was like a part of the tooth was extracted and part was saved.
I think communication is important because when honesty is detected, that feels like good communication, but when manipulation is detected that does not feel like such good communication.
I feel like there's a nervous system / tooth sensitivity thing going on again.

"The Beryl Markham Mystery"| Vanity Fair | October 1984
https://archive.vanityfair.com/article/1984/10/the-beryl-markham-mystery
I always felt like I should read that book I saw it lying around the house a lot with it's significant Hemingway blurb on it when I was living in the Pacific Northwest. My mother really liked it but I for some reason could not get myself to read it. But of course I was a child and probably wouldn't have appreciated it very much. But I did read some other adult books.
I miss the Pacific Northwest. It's ridiculous that I haven't been there since I was in my twenties. It's absolutely ridiculous. It's so much a part of me. How could it be such a small part of my life and by now? This part is the sadness of having little money when you're an adult.
I have "West With the Night" and "Women Who Run with the Wolves" in my Libby queue. I read the latter when I was 14, but I don't think I retained much of it, or I think I could use a refresher.
Good thing I was an English major. You know what I want. I wanna hear what it was like to study literature but not have any feminist theory classes or even anyone to tempt you to study it whatsoever. I want to know what that was like. There were men in my feminist theory classes. Where did those men go? What did they do with what they learned? Maybe they're making some of the more feminist content that's been circulating. Maybe they're a Content Creator now.
And also, the love being an avoidant seems like it is kind of an American thing, too, sometimes.
But not everyone can be equally infatuated with a video game.
Sometimes, this is my favorite drink.

I'm going to make believe to myself (or begin to believe) that I don't have to be like some of the meaner people with money I've met and maybe I can feel not so poor and feel more able to be well off enough to not feel triggered and upset by cycles of poverty that have happened on this planet because humans really struggle with that stuff a lot for some reason.
I had a dream that a tall man was on a park bench in the middle of winter at night staring at some houses and thinking it would be nice if certain girl was there with him. But he couldn't say it. He just had big feelings about it. And the girl was there but just in spirit and she with either behind the bench or on the bench, too.
I had another dream about being invited to go to a lesbian wedding with a woman as my date and it was suggested to me that instead of a trust dress I would wear black slacks and a button down white shirt and I said I would think about it.
Oh, another little thing around the periphery of the dream was there was a kind of mean mother figure but she would give people gifts and you could choose to enjoy them or not. And she was telling me and another girl that she was disappointed that a third girl was not enjoying her gifts properly and we had to commiserate with her even though we were kind of scared of her. Because we were able to enjoy her gifts a little bit more than this other girl was able to enjoy them. I don't quite remember the details on what the gifts were. It kind of makes me think of drinking a glass of white wine. But I think it was more involved than just a glass of wine.
I had a pretty good cat dream after some other kinds of dreams. I had some other kinds of dreams where I was observing some characters who were in the Show Business industry and those were sort of just okay dreams. Not being able to fit in very well with it was part of it. Smarmy man being able to fit in well with also part of it.
The cat dream was about how I had a cat and in the dream it was a little bit different from the cat I have, and it had some ancestry with some Wilder cats.
In my dream, the cat went back to some of her Wilder cats and they went very high up on some rocks and it was beautiful to see but I just hoped my cat would come back again.
I called out to the cat that I had in this dream. My beautiful girl. Be careful, my beautiful girl.
Tonight is the time for it. I'm doing some processes again. I really was neglecting my processes. I was neglecting myself too much, really. Even though I was exercising more and bought some clothes I liked...that's kind of surface level stuff, you know. But it's kind of fun, but it's just not what you need sometimes as badly as something else that you need.
I need to get a lot more satisfaction out of my own path of healing. Even if it is quiet and not that interesting to other people, that's fine. Don't get pushed off the path so much by some other people and what they are doing and saying and choosing. Especially at a time like this.
Children deserve to be adopted. I cannot adopt children with childish adults. It will not happen. I really must focus on my health first. But wow, love is great, isn't it? That's real. Real love.
The foot underneath the pillow where it feels cool.
Fools don't know what it feels like to lose everything.
The way my nervous system gave out on me in the past.
And it wasn't like that tonight.
It was not as bad as it was a few years ago.
But maybe I forgot that it could be.
But I am not forgetting it now.
So really it's the body that I am grateful for again.
It's teaching me a lot.
No, not for me right now. No parties no performing no podcasting, no. No no no no no no no no.
I am floored by how much I need to heal my own stuff again. I'm in a real state of other people can do whatever they want and it's fine because that's what they're supposed to be doing so they can learn from it. Perhaps I've dissolved something and I just will be in recovery for a little while now. Grasping at little fragments of energy that got scattered about, collecting them to make myself feel whole and reborn again. I don't know why I've chosen such a dramatic way of learning. I don't know why. Especially when I was known as a quiet person. My gosh my gosh my gosh. It's so humbling. It's so humbling. A whole new you...
This is cute but also I know people need to heal themselves deeply and rest and repair their nervous systems.

I want to try to get better in ways that don't make my nervous system flip out so much. I got to remember that.
I know other lifetimes happened where people pushed themselves too much and it went too far and that's why this lifetime is supposed to be different and be better. It can be really good. It can be healing. It can be better. It can be more. It can be full of surprises that we didn't even expect. But wow, it's really, really time to get back on the healing path now.
I accidentally pushed myself too hard if I accidentally push the person I care about too hard and I need to really gather my healing energies and become the kind of open to healing person that I'm always hoping I can be. I don't understand why I do this but I'm going to get better because that's my only choice. I have to get better.
I just got some really intense tooth sensitivity. So much that I wonder if I will need extra assistance with it. Oh, I am sorry we have struggled so much. We have asked a lot of ourselves! Need to get better at healing and patience and opening up in ways that serve a more healing pattern. I will ask for more healing and guidance and help from gifted healers. It's been so much to go through. The sensitive people need the healing ones. The healing energies can be more elevated. We have been through a lot and we deserve extra healing. Extra healing can help us. We can ask for and receive help and healing. I really pushed myself somewhere and I've really got to get back to a healing place now. Help us really heal ourselves. Help us know we can heal.

I really liked this movie when I was younger called "Central Station," and I still think it's really good but there's this part at the end of the movie where the little kid meets his brothers, and there's one brother who just seems depressed in a way and it's like he's kind of...really off.

Sometimes, when she didn't like people, she would criticize them, and sometimes she would call them a chicken!
Actually we had a worse side than that to deal with. On account of the sexism and misogyny and all that. But you know, I think we already talked about it and we don't need to bring that up right now. Because you're just going to feel more empathy. Because you know lots of drastic beliefs were pumped into her head from a very young age, and I don't think she would have acted that way if she hadn't been absolutely forced to by her misogynistic parents. Was Martin Luther a feminist, no.
Anyways. It was all an interesting experience. And here you, are a product of your experiences!
Go for another walk soon, and let the birds talk to you.
And Jesus - loving Grandma would have preferred loving the child over the tickets to the ballet.
And remember, Jesus - loving Grandma was the one who brought up the farmworkers to you, the Mexican farm workers. Even though she was a German farmworker, she wasn't a Mexican one. She still brought them up to you. That's the kind of person she was. She was the Jesus - lover.
You know what she would have liked better than having to babysit a certain kind of child? She would have like tickets to a ballet; that's what she would have liked.
They're assholes. They've constantly shown you over and over again that they want to be assholes. Stop expecting them to be different. They want to be assholes. They don't want to f****** care.
These people are like the racist mommy babysitter. They don't give a s***; you don't need to be nice to them.

You have got to keep a bunch of human beings that you were trained to be nastily and mediocrely unfeeling towards employed, you know.
Well, gee, I don't know why you think your unpaid job has to be to make me so glad that I'm not in your male body. Because you're getting paid for a whole lot of other s***. But still you're doing this unpaid job. I think it's because you were trained from a very tiny, little age to act this way, as the other men around you were constantly acting, when you were growing up. And probably lots of women were fawning over them while they were doing it, huh? Really? It's f****** insane. I don't want to look at this right now. I will look at it more later. When I'm in a less "bad for my particular biological state" kind of mood. Anyways, I went to Texas churches, too, I mean, sexist churches, too, so you know, I don't know what it is that makes it so much more appealing for some people than for others to continue the old, bad traditions. But it is and I don't want to deal with it right now. I have other things to do. I will make my own day better.
So different!

I guess she just wants to completely remind me: She hasn't been warped by the patriarchy, like, you know, some people have been.

I don't know how you can expect these people to care about children from other social classes or from other ethnic backgrounds when they're not even that great at caring about their own kids. I mean they're not the worst. It's not like you would call Child Protective Services on them. It's just that they're not that impressive. With all of the "great fortune" that has been bestowed upon some of them.
It's amazing how much some misogynistic women would like me if I were a man, or in the body of a man who just felt entitled to be a selfish jerk.
I mean it's not like my parents would have paid the upstate NY racist babysitter mom to babysit me if she seemed like a super mean person on the surface. She was just an average white mom with access to land and money and a white husband. But they wanted her to help them make more money for them anyways. So she had to babysit kids. She didn't want to babysit them, and there were some she certainly liked the least of all. What a disappointingly superficial, shallow woman.
They're just raising the bar for everybody else. All the "fortunate" moms with internalized misogyny issues who don't respect other women enough and are still constantly making excuses for the f*** boys just like their parents and their churches and their schools taught them to are simply not as much fun as the feminists are.
Maybe some people should just be aunts and uncles.
I had a grandma who loved raising kids, and I had another grandma who was kind of nuts, and her not - well - enough treated mental illness alienated a lot of people, including her own child.
And apparently she also had PCOS, and I probably inherited mine from her. But I'm not really like her. I'm different from everybody! I'm my own person.
Yeah, just tell us. Oh well, probably. People who have an easier time being shallow do tend to get more satisfaction from succeeding in the system as it's currently set up.
I found three different types of films to watch. One is a BBC drama (which makes me think that a lot of men actually do like soap operas if it involves something manly like going off to war), and two are documentaries.

In order to recruit children to serve in the military, they put them in a trance with songs!
That is some crazy s***.
Of course, they focus on the poorest boys first.
Well, that's because the kids are going to get killed, and they don't value the poor boys very much.
So they have to find ways of hypnotizing them, so that they're willing to do what they want.

Well, who knows? I don't want to know what her skincare routine is though.

Oh, and when I sat next to Elon on the plane that was back when everybody thought he was a super genius. I'm sure more than half of the people I've met would have taken his business card and been super excited to work for him.
But it was not this!
Today was the day to turn away from the donut shop and go down to the farmer's market to buy some interesting pastries and French kefir with rose and raspberry and probiotics!
It was a Latina lady who called out hello and brought my attention to this interesting and very large work of art. I guess sometimes Latinos are the new gofers of white supremacy these days. It's not just for the shallow, selfish white people anymore. And that's under the guise of selling people bowls of superfoods and vegan and keto and dog treats.
Also, I saw the homeless lady who got my blanket so now I feel better and worse. How much credit have I been giving them, thinking about rich people? So much that I thought a rich person was a homeless lady? She called out to me and said how are you? And when I asked how she was doing she said, "I'm blessed."
Who knows. Maybe she was a reincarnated rich person? It was a weird morning. It made me feel very angry. I need to settle down before I eat my pastry and yogurt and share it. Oh yeah, don't forget about sharing.
Wow! People who like to cry would appreciate page 69.
