This was cool to learn about, since the movie "Annie" had such a huge influence on girls my age. I also remember being in the back of a car in upstate New York, and someone pointing out that we were driving past an old orphanage, and I was filled with a deep longing to know more about what it was actually like to grow up in one.

And I also remembered "My Place," the library book that I read in high school. It taught me about how was customary for the children of many Aboriginal mothers to be taken away to orphanages, since the mothers had to work, and they couldn't take care of their own children.

I might have to see if the universe gives me any dreams about why the girls always seemed more forced to deal with the heavier topics in this life. I want to find humans who are developing their skills, and going towards compassionate strength.

Listened to some music and drifted off to sleep.
Be really funny if some people named their kid Semper. Just as a girl could be named September, I imagine a boy could be named Semper. I wonder if anyone ever did that. I can almost see this kid wandering around a medieval landscape, taking care of animals...

More reflection must be needed.
Sometimes you might need to take step back because there's all these playful energies in the universe, but you sort of have to find out which ones are the best fit for whatever you're supposed to be doing at the moment.
This musical composition has been going around in my head a little bit this evening.
"Moon"
Sufjan Stevens, Nico Muhly, Bryce Dessner, James McAllister
Does it ever seem like you want more good changes to happen.
And like, instead of being manipulated by certain lower energy forces, you have to get to know yourself better and download something from a higher place and use that to create your path. (Instead of joining a cult, maybe.)
Everything humans find difficult to deal with gets processed eventually.
A human life is very challenging sometimes. Sometimes, it also has its fun moments. Sometimes, it feels like I never knew how many people would seem to feel like they need to be somewhat sleepwalking through an era of important changes. I guess a lot also depends on the day, or even the time of day.
What makes you feel concerned?

Non-sentimental and self - curious in this aspect of life that has already become a part of the past:
I didn't plan it this way but for some reason this is what I was listening to when I visited the grave of Corrie Ten Boom:
"Ziello" ~ Claire Ozmun
Got some yellow flowers from a seller by the road who didn't speak English; practiced a little bit of Spanish.
"Appointment in Samarrah" ~ Anand Wilder
Was helpful last year when I felt kind of estranged from some people, but I still actually talked to these people. But anyways I was disappointed when I felt more traumatized by ICE raids and other people didn't seem to be noticing. But then somebody who attended church more told me Corrie Ten Boom's Forgiveness of the Nazi guard at her concentration camp story, and it helped me shift. I didn't feel quite so horribly estranged anymore.
I think the reason why E.M. Forster wrote "Only connect" is because people are often bad at it.

And, I'm expanding my creative horizons, toooo...
Even if it's sad that fewer and fewer people are reading whole books because they get sucked into online stuff and video games, I can also read whatever books I want if they're in my first language (😭 And I really aspire to acquire knowledge of other languages in this lifetime.) And I'll teach myself some musical things, too, because I used to make up songs by myself while riding on the school bus. I don't really remember them, and that's fine. But I know I did that.
The Patriarchal forces controlling the money are not doing well enough for our society.
"We Need To Talk About This Year's Met Gala"

I feel musical people do have a very superior advantage, like when it comes to accessing emotions and getting through the rumination barriers, sometimes.
Anyways, you can also be on the lookout for the other kinds of ancestors that the descendants are going to look back on the most fondly. Maybe they're the ones who are having kids and feeding us, too. Oh yeah, and some of their kids are also feeding us. That's another great thing to remember.
Is it plenty or a plethora?
"Either plenty or a plethora of parents will begin caring about children in concentration camps as soon as it becomes more pleasurable to do so."
Throw some charity balls or something! I bet it's easier to do now than it would have been in Nazi Germany.
Pleasures are what all people of all different backgrounds are born for, right?
I feel I've been made highly aware of how pleasure-oriented people on this planet really are, and maybe that's for the best, when it's channeled properly, or in some better ways than it was in the past.
Cosmopolitan it up a little.

I do find this idea rather appealing, lately.
Like, if well-off people also thought of some of the things that not as well off people could do when it comes to their opinions about, I don't know practicing some sort of creative endeavor or creating a not terribly expensive meal that's going to give you enough energy, couldn't it be fun for them, too? Pretend you're teaching a bunch of children in a musical orphanage how to rehabilitate themselves. Who are the heros now...
A little education goes a long way!
Even when it comes to simple, repetitive things! For example, now I know that you can push a chair up against a wall and just stand up and sit in it as you do your reps three times with your not very heavy weights. That is really really simple addition, but for some reason I never thought to try that when I was younger. So being able to connect with somebody who is caring and competent and good at communicating when it comes to the things they know that you don't know about is life-changing!
But for some reason, I did know that you can do a wallsit and do it. Cuz we always did wallsits in PE.
Yes, it's better late than never when it comes to access to more feminist content.

Feeling appreciative of the efforts of these students and writers...
"Over the past couple months, Chapman students have investigated what cities in Orange County have done in response to large-scale immigration crackdown that ramped up last June, filing public records with each of the 34 cities to see what they implemented.
Anaheim, Santa Ana, Costa Mesa and Irvine have provided informational resources on their websites, and launched funds to either help impacted immigrant families with legal support or to help them pay bills.
Anaheim is the only city in Orange County to post detailed daily updates on immigration enforcement actions in the city, while Santa Ana remains the only sanctuary city in the county.
Garden Grove, Mission Viejo, Buena Park, Fullerton and Stanton have solely provided informational resources.
Huntington Beach has firmly supported immigration enforcement, declaring the city a “non-sanctuary city” and saying they will help ICE if they come to town.
The remaining 24 cities have done nothing official in the past year."
