God, patriarchal rape culture is such a trip. (A bad one.) I really do think it's done quite a number on quite a few people's brains in this era!
"At 16, Ian met comedian Bill Cosby backstage at a Smothers Brothers show where she was promoting 'Society's Child.' Since she was underage, she was accompanied by a chaperone while touring. After her set, Ian had been sleeping with her head on the lap of her chaperone (an older female family friend). According to Ian in a 2015 interview, she was told by her then manager that Cosby had interpreted their interaction as 'lesbian' and as a result 'had made it his business' to warn other television shows that Ian wasn't 'suitable family entertainment' and 'shouldn't be on television' because of her sexuality, thus attempting to blacklist her.[9][10][11]"

"Power" by Adrienne Rich
https://allpoetry.com/poem/11641436-Power-by-Adrienne-Rich
Living in the earth-deposits of our history
Today a backhoe divulged out of a crumbling flank of earth
one bottle amber perfect a hundred-year-old
cure for fever or melancholy a tonic
for living on this earth in the winters of this climate.
Today I was reading about Marie Curie:
she must have known she suffered from radiation sickness
her body bombarded for years by the element
she had purified
It seems she denied to the end
the source of the cataracts on her eyes
the cracked and suppurating skin of her finger-ends
till she could no longer hold a test-tube or a pencil
She died a famous woman denying
her wounds
denying
her wounds came from the same source as her power.
~ Adrienne Rich
Sometimes it's too exhausting to be around people who have little to no depth when it comes to seeing how interesting different kinds of people or experiences are but owning land and houses and making money is their main way of feeling good. And also when people have had particular experiences or traumas that they are scared to talk about then they push away those people. And they mostly get their self-esteem from protecting themselves and acquiring land and houses and money. And it just feels really f***** up. And also people of certain genetics seem to be more inclined to do that than others. I just can't deal with the exhausting people some days. It's like I need to spend 3 days in nature to spend an hour with those people.
It can be very sad and lonely when you're made to feel like you are just way more sensitive to human suffering than the average person is. The average person apparently has a huge ability to block out what's happening. And it's not like I'm never happy because I have moments of happiness. But I also have a lot of knowledge about the suffering that's happening in the world, and when a lot of people most of the time seem to feel like they don't need to know about that stuff, I feel out of place with the people who are like that, and Patriarchy seems to want most people to be like that.
Well, either I will or I won't? When I meet a bunch of strangers to me now who might become better known to me soon, who knows if I either will or won't ask, Hey did you read this book or see this film, and then I either will or won't ask, Hey, did you hear about that South African asylum seekers thing, and then I either will or won't ask hey, what if those characters were from South Africa seeking asylum right now?
I don't know if it matters more about the music or if it matters more about the words...Or best to say that both of them matter. I'm possibly one of those halfway to being a medium types, sometimes.
Tori Amos - "Taxi Ride Lyrics & Meanings" | SongMeanings
Four or five different books I still want to finish reading at the moment. Some old, some new to me. I love rereading the books that I really like. They just kind of call to me.
It's probably part of The Healing Journey.
They made me want to take a little journey somewhere.
I often traveled in the summer when I was younger. So I journeyed to a diner and ordered something I would have ordered as an older kid who got to choose from the adult menu. A hot roast beef sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy. It was a bit indulgent. But I ate half at the diner and shared the rest of it when I got home. Rainbow colors made me think of summer vacation and sleeping in a room called the rainbow room because of the rainbow bedspread and how it felt like the most colorful and creative room to sleep in. It could often be a very relaxing room, too. That's the room I think of when I think of listening to classical music tapes at night. Maybe it was the best room. Even tending to skinned knees and wounds was another nurturing thing that happened as child. Good grandparents would sing a little healing song in German which I've tried to reconstruct:
Heile Heile segen.
Drei Tagen regen.
Immer mehr (?) besser sind.
The unfortunate occurrence of falling down in a pothole this evening was also an opportunity to tend to some wounds, and be decent at it.
Fell into a parking lot pothole tonight and hurt my ankle but it got better quickly. Also skinned my knees. As I sat on the ground recovering, two people checked on me to see if I was okay. Two young men, actually. One of them asked me if I needed help standing up. Humanity was functioning at basic humane decency levels. After I got up, I was able to go back inside the diner and tell the server about the hole. (They said to each other: Que paso? Se cayo.) And I showed it to her, because I hope it gets filled in. I was on a jury in the past when an older woman with diabetes broke her ankle and her health was severely impacted by a pothole, or in her case it was actually a tree well that wasn't kept up to standard. The second half of my dinner was not ruined even though it fell with me and got a little messy. But there was a bag around the to-go container. So I shared it when I got home. And took a shower and squirted peroxide on the wounds at the end...Ow, that was painful. But there's something about tending to oneself after a fall that has a nurturing quality to it.

"Loose-boned by virtue of his youth, and cushioned by the carpeting, Herbert arrived at the bottom without breaking. He was shaken, of course, but he did not cry, for two years with Clarissa had taught him that crying did more harm than good. He merely sat up, rubbing his head, and looked around. And as his eyes turned left, to the wall opposite the matron's office door, he froze in an ecstasy of terror and delight. There was another child sitting at the bottom of another staircase and that child was wearing the same shirt and trousers and was rubbing his head, too. Herbert Rowbarge had discovered mirrors."
Herbert becomes entranced.
"Herbert stayed a full half hour in the entrance hall, perfectly content. For not only did the boy in the mirror move as he moved, and make the same faces, this boy was the possessor of the other lion from the Noah's Ark. He brought it out from a pocket just as Herbert was producing his own, and when Herbert pressed his lion to the surface of the glass, the other boy did the same, so that the two wooden animals were together again at last. Herbert smiled at the boy in the mirror, and the boy smiled back, and the time they spent together in the entrance hall was a time of sweet discovery and peace."
Herbert's dreams.
"He would find himself arm-in-arm with the boy in the entrance hall mirror. They would smile at each other, and float off together into a world that was neither the world of the mirror nor any other place he knew, but a far more magical place, a dim and watery place with little boats, a warm place far away. This was all that happened in the dream, but, dreaming it, he was eased. In the morning he would waken calm and cheerful, and the anger sometimes did not come back till long after breakfast."

"His friends considered him smart, even brilliant, generous and funny, willing to bend a rule for a laugh or the next great adventure. “If he likes you, he will do anything for you,” Kafka wrote to Epstein’s assistant Lesley Groff in 2019. “If he doesn’t, he won’t give you the time of day. He’s the most private person ever. Even when he was poor!” Even today, after everything she has learned about him, his high school friend Barbara Santangelo credits Epstein for tutoring her in geometry so she could get into college. “I talk about it now and I could get choked up,” she said in an interview."

Like, even if you did something really bad in a past life, instead of having that bad thing or something worse happen to you in the next life, you could read a story or see a movie and have it affect you so strongly psychologically that you wouldn't have to have the horror repeated on you to be horrified of ever repeating that action again. Or you could also have a nightmare.
"Think of them like the children that get more clingy and needy when somebody else gets sicker."
"And then there was the time the shallower ones told themselves that being more condescending and bullying towards x-types of peoples was called for, as if they knew that people in those kinds of bodies were just about to get pummeled by more plans of sadistic patriarchal revenge. They were not the most aware of what was going on in certain situations, but their perceptions had been molded, and their instincts were sharpened to encourage them to behave in certain ways."
I think it's Patriarchal when parents are compelled to leave behind messes that other people's daughters will have to clean up after them. They might also get reincarnated as part of the clean-up crew, though.
"Father Florek says that some farm owners offer the workers access to alcohol and women but make no effort to provide any true comfort. In one camp in Ohio, he says, the owners don’t even let the workers play soccer on their days off for fear they will be injured and will not be able to fulfill their contracts.
'The workers use the word dehumanization. [They tell us:] ‘They treat us less than human,’says Father Florek. 'Like animals. In some places it’s difficult even to get in to visit them. The owners are suspicious, even of the Catholic Church. We’re seeing more and more of that, especially with this administration.'
After dinner, Veronica Rodriguez, the 48-year-old coordinator for the Ministry to Neighbor program in her Michigan diocese, passes out rosary beads, Bibles and prayer cards with the help of her sons, husband and mother. Ms. Rodriguez—whose reserved, quiet strength balances Father Florek’s resounding voice and outgoing nature—helped create the Sembrador pilot program here four years ago. The project has now spread to Yuma, Ariz., and is sprouting in upstate New York; Raleigh, N.C.; Monterey, Calif.; and Richmond, Va.
As a rooster crows and the sun sinks farther on the horizon, the priests lead the group in a Hail Mary and bless them with holy water. The men humbly bow their heads. 'It’s a great thing,' the former construction worker softly says, 'to hear the word of God.'”

I feel like I know people who could have turned into Amber Czech. However, they were more psychologically assaulted than anything. And if somebody already has trauma to deal with from other bad things happening to them, that is very serious.
And people are mesmerized, so mesmerized by patriarchal b******* that they just do not help women when they meet a violent male co-worker in the workplace. Even when it's on camera. And HR gets involved.
And the men at that workplace. Men who were fathers making excuses for this guy.
Even your own parents can seem mesmerized, stuck in some weird state of helplessness, feeling unable to fight back against The Violence of The Patriarchy.
They make excuses for violence and then they expect you to be fine with it. They expect people who were traumatized, even those who were sexually assaulted, to cater to their shallow, materialistic and incredibly selfish egos.
These people are not okay. You cannot rely on these people. They are very swept up in catering to the kinds of people that their patriarchal society taught them to cater to, though.
Amber Czech was penalized for being a hard worker. Penalized. She went to HR and it didn't help. This man was violent. People still made him more important than her. He killed her. What was the reason. She gave him a bad attitude? She wasn't cute and feminine enough for him?
It's not okay. Daughters deserve better than that.
Catering to people's selfish egos is not inspirational, and in fact, I think it's quite tragic. Patriarchal people really have been led astray.

No, you were not able to rely on those people.
These people were full of their own things they were going through, though, so you should try not to take it too personally.
I still feel like I have to heal from the violence of the Patriarchy and from experiencing how much it got inside of people's minds, including the kinds of people you were supposed to be able to trust and rely on.

Maybe I'll go out to the mystical desert soon, but it is very hot in the mystical desert. Still, I could do it. It's not that far to drive. But when it's very hot, you have to stay well hydrated. Maybe Palm Springs?

I guess it's possible that I've been allowing the bad political things to infiltrate too much. I guess it might be. That's been throwing me off, perhaps.

I suppose this might be a good time to finally finish up "Escape from Sobibor," after I escaped from it halfway through the movie in junior high and didn't come back to school for like, a week, or a few days, at least.
I can't tell if they're making kids watch all the harsh stuff and read all the harsh stuff nowadays, like at school, officially, but I wonder if they're just getting access to some information because of the internet's wily ways anyway.
I hope the more fortunate ones are not being raised to be desensitized to what's going on in regards to the human rights of their peers. I feel like the incels want to prey on those kind. The incels are not going to make our world better, kids.
How am I going to be the more sensitive person to you and your body if you have a uterus in your next life, and I have the other situation again.
It's really too bad about the Patriarchal White Supremacist Society still being so unfair to so many different kinds of people who truly do deserve so much better.
Way more special than my little boy who was brown person friend was to the little-minded shallow and sad white mom blonde babysitter. Who was so different from the nice not-a-mom but cool and fun blonde teenager with a swimming pool in her backyard babysitter. I don't know. I feel kind of bad for her (the mom who probably just needed to take care of her own child instead of take care of other people's children) but at the same time she was so mean, and she left this permanent scar on my body. I just looked at the scar just now. I still have it. She left a permanent scar that exists over 40 years later on my freaking finger. It's still there. She dug too deeply with a needle to get the splinter out. Grrrr! It's still there, after all of these years! Take care if you dig splinters out of kids' fingers.

With all that's going on with human health / human rights situations, I can see why the universe was constantly encouraging me to look at the dynamics of the Ludovico/Beatrice non-lavender marriage, resplendent with art and excessive wealth and too much power, and then, a few centuries later, the folksier and more productive rapport of Emerson/Thoreau.
"No, I don't wanna to play let's not be demonic grandparents; I wanna to play fuckboy makes spiritual progress."

We need to be less biased, racist, misogynistic, etc. towards the daughters that the patriarchy wants to discard, and we need to make it feel more fun to be that way, like it's a really fun game.

I'm sure someone's older sibling will get convinced to go where the emotionally immature parents fear to tread.
Imagine making a show for the children who are trying to survive adverse conditions in which a generous proportion of the parents (half of them!) are the helpers, and the other ones have potential but aren't quite there yet.

And also, an opportunity to wonder why the patriarchy wanted so many people to act like they still wanna behave like shallow cult devotees divorced from their ability to have or process deep feelings.
There can be music in the part of the film where an emotionally immature adult begins to act like it's okay to self reflect more. They are God's gift to the world; they're just not the only one of them on this planet!

"Throw Your Cat Away"

And the raccoon thing happened after I was thinking about when an energy healer asked me if I'd ever lost a child and then told me I was supposed to get my womb energetically cleared and also the womb was sitting low in my body and she was going to move it but to let her know if it started hurt too much and my womb area indeed got poked at and I started to cry out and then I was given the gentler version of an energy healing and I started getting calmer and thinking, but I have a cat. So I got the cat inside, but after the raccoon encounter.
I was getting the cat inside for the night when all of a sudden she went after something and that something happened to be a raccoon. She didn't want the raccoon in her yard, but the raccoon was skittering across the cat mat laden wall and then I went closer to it and also picked up a flimsy bird bath that the birds never use and then the raccoon just grew taller. Then I called for assistance and the man came outside and the raccoon ran away. And I wondered why I had the "does not scare away the raccoon" energy, and then I remembered being a child and there were some raccoons in the backyard and they called the dog catcher to get rid of them. And at one point my father, who probably wasn't even 30 years old yet, was supposed to assist the dog catcher for free and he was standing in the backyard holding a big stick and a raccoon was snarling on the end of it and this makes me laugh now for some reason but I was trying to see what was going on. Get back. Get back, stay away, get back the adults yelled at me to stay away from the situation with the raccoon, so you know, they did have that instinct to protect children. So, good job. But now maybe I don't have such big scare away the raccoon energy. So.

It takes a lot of immature parents with unhealed internalized misogyny issues to prop up an unwell patriarchy.

"ICE Conducts Father’s Day Raids on Santa Barbara’s Westside and Eastside
Observer Reportedly Bear-Sprayed by Agent, as Many as 11 Individuals, Including U.S. Citizen, Detained Sunday Morning"
"ICE agents also apprehended a U.S. citizen in the Father’s Day action, but released him at a hospital in Oxnard, where he was treated for unspecified injuries after it reportedly became apparent that he was a U.S. citizen.
According to the reports, ICE vehicles hit speeds of 80 miles an hour barreling down San Andres Street on their way to the Mission Street off-ramp to Highway 101 in the early morning hours. The ICE agents allegedly then performed donuts with their vehicles under the freeway overpass for about 15 minutes. According to the monitors who were following after them, the agents entered the freeway at speeds in excess of 100 miles an hour.
'We did not get any notification ICE was in town. We didn’t have any calls for service from 1 a.m. on that were remotely close to what was being alleged on the Westside,' stated Santa Barbara Police Chief Kelly Gordon. 'Of course that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen, just that we didn’t get notified by ICE or the community.'”

"It was already dusk. They walked about twenty paces down the 'garden' and turn to look back. Above their flat with its lights ablaze was a window with a fainter light. Some skimpy curtains were drawn but they could see the light glowing through.
'That's not a proper electric light,' said Emma.
'I don't think they have electricity at all in their part,' said Roger. 'It must be an oil lamp. It's too bright to be a candle.'
'That's dangerous. . . . It must be awful to be so poor, and to have rich people to stay in your house.'
'Who's rich? We're not rich!'
'I mean compared to them. Compared to them, we're rolling.'
They stood for a while, as dusk fell, gazing at the bulk of the château. It was changing from gold to gray and would soon go black."

Maybe you should have called yourself shitloads of manure piles, like how the bad ancestor you were taught to reverse (revere?) actually treated his daughter.
"Treating other people's daughters poorly is excellent for our daughters." No, it's not!
I am sick almost to death of experiencing more health complications on account of the world's meaner parents discriminating against the other parents' children just because they were pressured into aligning themselves with the guys who get suckered into acting like the asshole lackeys of the ailing, failing, dying patriarchy all of the time.
But they made some content more interesting to watch.

Well, it's time to look out for the helpers again (as Mr. Rogers advised) in order to survive another day of the damaged patriarchal people truly being so incredibly dedicated to discrimination against hatred of so many kinds of women and girls and their bodies and their stories and their very existence on Earth.
It's like the patriarchal ones seem to believe that it's kind of a requirement for them to continue the patriarchy's favorite past times for them to get by in life and get access to their hearts desires, like praise or money or property or social acceptance amongst other patriarchal people, or any of the other things that the cult of patriarchy wants them to value the most and love the best.
“'We were calm. The only thing I said was to not separate me from my son because that was what I was most scared of,' Jonathan said.
Neither of them knew where the other one went.
'I arrived in Adelanto, and they wouldn’t tell me where (Joani) was at all. Even if I asked, they wouldn’t tell me,' he said.
While at the center, Jonathan faced delays in accessing medical care and faced mistreatment before he was released in May, he said.
'Once a week they would feed us chicken, but what really hurt is that they would throw it in your face,' he said. 'They did not let us eat sometimes, or if you wanted a second helping, they also would not let you, they grabbed you and threw the plate.'
'It was so humiliating.'
He also recalled getting sick, suffering from debilitating headaches and asking for medical care but faced delays in getting seen.
'They did not pay attention to me, they did not attend to me,' Jonathan said. 'Other detainees would tell me, ‘Here, you have to be dying for them to pay attention.’'
He told his lawyer about the repeated lack of medical care, and the lawyer called the center. Jonathan said he was seen quickly after his lawyer called.
'When I arrived at the medic, he was annoyed because I had called my lawyer,' Jonathan said.
After his medical appointment, Jonathan said he was led to a small, cold room with a bed. He believed he was taken there as punishment for calling his lawyer.
'It was so cold because they change the temperature to cold, and they don’t give you a blanket, nothing,' he said.
He said this made him fearful of telling his lawyer anything else over the phone because the calls were recorded and monitored.
He said he never gave up on being reunited with his family. He recalled thinking, 'I have to endure this and keep fighting.'
Joani said it took two days to travel to Dilley, and Kaleth was in distress the whole time.
'I couldn’t count how many (moms and kids) there were because there were too many,' she said."
