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 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 hope your grandkids don't marry somebody being affected by the cruel xenophobia right now!
“'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."

Oh I guess it's a Grace problem. That's what it is!
Well, I guess Jesus would like it better if we gave Grace to the ones who we believe are acting like they find it very difficult to give Grace to others.
I bet it would be fun to ride a train and look out the window during wildflower season.
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.
Maybe it's easier to actively care about certain kinds of human beings if you choose to intentionally feel better about doing so.
See, they don't have too much stupid white guilt interfering with their lives, do they?

There's a kind of brotherly love thing going on here. Care and concern for the collective.
"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."

Oh, I just felt a little lighter, for a second.
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.
May some people escape their prisons soon.
"Guri said he worried he was going to go 'crazy' inside Dilley.
He feels sad, he said, but also bored. 'We sometimes entertain ourselves,' Guri said. They collect empty plastic water bottles, and take turns hitting them on each others’ heads: 'Like, I hit it on her head, she hits it on me.'
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 don't always think some other people have enough experience with that, though.
I think I have had plenty of experience of not only noticing when people get treated badly because a shallow Patriarchal Society wants people like them to be forgotten and slip through the cracks, but also having empathy and suffering alongside them, or even feeling empathy from afar, has been a big part of the human experience.
Isn't it sad when the female judges are worse to women? Who taught them to be that way?
She must have gotten some kind of rewards for having this kind of attitude, from society, from her community, from the people who raised her, etc.

"She celebrated her 11th birthday in ICE detention."
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/apr/27/texas-ice-family-detention
"Hurt people hurt people" energy.
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.
People are going to have to figure things out.
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.
How rich have I got?
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.
Auschwitz had an orchestra.
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.
Or not! It's your life, but...
Why not try harder to not create circumstances that make your great grandkids feel embarrassed by your behaviors. Why not?
Gifted with another gem.
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.
I guess I just have to ask for some grace!
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???
I feel like performers in different areas of life will burn out if they don't learn how to take better care of themselves.
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.
You have to figure out some better tools to help you.
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.
Moms too, probably. But the dads are standing out more at the moment.
Sometimes it feels like if some people had different dads, they'd be acting really differently at this moment in our time...
Another thing for a nation of avoidants to have to deal with...

As the old fashionedness is fading away, as nature intends...
It's so inspiring to think of all the genders of grandchildren being super stoked about treating all kinds of people in all kinds of bodies really well, and making sure everybody has optimal access to reproductive rights.
I feel like it all looks pink in the pictures.
But in real life some of the buckwheat looks more orangey, to me.
This is why it's good. There's music that doesn't have lyrics. Out there.
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.
Oh, there's such a lot of Brothers...
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...
Sounds good, like something that could remind someone to go out and take a walk, like me.

In case I ever wear a sundress out in public this summer, I was excited to find a removable straps bra for a plus size person that doesn't have wire included. The store actually had exactly one in stock. "It's called a bralette." And when I bought it, I asked if I could order another in a lighter color. "I know, I don't like bras with wire in them either" said the cashier. "I'm not used to wearing wire. I guess that was something my mother's generation was more used to wearing." "My mother hates wearing wire bras too," she said. (!!! But they're always the main kind of bra that's in stock, especially at the stores for the plus size people. So how many other people don't like them and have to try extra hard to find something more comfortable for their bodies???)
I will say that everyday is different and it's kind of educationally entertaining and like a learning experience.

I kind of feel so much working class Watervliet energy coming back at right now. But women in my childhood didn't have feminist content to watch on YouTube. They had the "Clouds in my coffee..." song by Carly Simon. And Jane Fonda aerobics. And diets! Teenage girls had babysitting jobs and MTV. And there were advertisements in the back of Seventeen magazine about very thin, happy girls in bikinis going away to a camp in La Jolla, California, and having all your dreams come true could happen after you lost weight.
I have ascertained that having a large audience for your content can change the dynamics.
