And so another day has gone by...πŸŒ„

I do feel like it would be so much nicer for some people if they could believe in a Divine Cosmic Mother energy that can guide and assist them.

It's hot. Gotta go drink some water...

They just want to learn things the hard way, I guess.

Stuff comes through, but people don't want to hear it. You'd think it would help, but they don't want to hear it. Stubborn. It does make you realize how easy it was for Germans to let fascists take over their country a century ago. 

I even heard a whinny, but it's not schizophrenia.

Anyways, I imagine wild horses, running for their lives, traumatized, getting to a place where there are humans and needing to be calmed down. It reminds me that I haven't read The Horse Whisperer yet.


They just don't want to know, but why

Why don't some people want to know what is not going to be able to be hidden much longer? Why don't they want to know. Why do they want to prolong it? Why? Why? Why? Really. Why? It's almost as if they have some weird energy attached to them making them behave that way.

There's a lot of problems with fear and how to handle it, and not everyone's in the same boat at the moment.

Why is that?

Patriarchal people have such a hard time seeing women as real human beings.

Among other things!

 "Fascism taught me a lot about how it's absolutely useless to try to change people's minds when they're just not ready to change yet."

Change is bound to happen in one form or another.

Man, I hope some people's children can get to therapy and have the courage to address and overcome all the lessons they're still being taught about great ways to dehumanize others in exchange for certain rewards from the ailing patriarchal society that's still controlling things.

Traumatized people can be so mean.

 Wow! These mistakes could create the conditions to dehumanize a lot of people.

It's good to share experiences. Very informative and educational.

"I enjoy what male writers have to say about love. I cherish my Rumi and my Rilke, male poets who stir hearts with their words. Men often write about love through fantasy, through what they imagine is possible rather than what they concretely know. We know now that Rilke did not write as he lived, and that so many words of love offered us by great men fail us when we come face to face with reality."

I'm sure there's plenty of room for people who've been treated better by the Patriarchal Society than others to grow.


Didn't know I'd find something like this on my walk to the beach the other day.

And then on top of it, we had so much fun performing our skits in front of the class!

I'd really like to thank those two guys who were in my library technology class years ago for meeting me in coffee shops and library study rooms on multiple occasions so we could work on a project together, and how they were completely cool about listening to my ideas and treating me with respect, like I was a real human being worth listening to.

Maybe kids who are lucky enough not to be in hiding or in concentration camps can learn a lot from these.

Just a random thought floating up.

This is fun.

 


"We have all been PSYOP-ed."

This passage will seem quaint and archaic someday.

"Reviewing the literature on love, I noticed how few writers, male or female, talk about the impact of patriarchy, the way in which male domination of women and children stands in the way of love. John Bradshaw's Creating Love: The Next Great Stage of Growth is one of my favorite books on the topic. He valiantly attempts to establish the link between male domination (the institutionalization of patriarchy) and the lack of love of families. Famous for work that calls attention to the 'inner child,' Bradshaw believes that ending patriarchy is one step in the direction of love. However, his work on love has never received ongoing attention and celebration. It did not get the notice given work by men who write about love while affirming sexist-defined gender roles."

God, it's almost unimaginable.

Imagine if I had been raised to be some sort of boy cult leader. Just imagine! I bet my dental work would be in better shape. But I guess I don't really know for sure.

Maybe you can find an ICE agent with a childhood that mimics your own and that will make you feel really good.

Anyways, I guess you can pray for the ICE agents because you don't seem to care about the "other" kids that much.

ICE agents are more like the ones who have more "agency." They don't have as much "empathy." They're just "doing their jobs."

Well, unfortunately, they were "normal" people.

I'm sure plenty of them felt that they'd had way less privileges in their lives than others had.

You know what's interesting to note? Anne Frank's father came from an extremely wealthy family.

I thought wealth and privilege was supposed to protect people from persecution, but apparently, not always.

https://www.mprnews.org/story/2026/09/01/sahan-minnesota-schools-lost-at-least-1700-students-after-ice-operation

What do you have to say about it?

Look at how your Society is treating other women's children! Your Patriarchical White Supremacist Society. You're next! Who else is next?

The patriarchy really does dehumanize so many different kinds of bodies.

I mean supposedly, if you're a woman who gives birth then you're less degraded, but not even that is a sure thing, is it? Good Lord. Not a good Lord, actually!

You were literally trained by the patriarchy to degrade women and worship abusive men.

And then women are supposed to give birth to babies in order to be put on a pedestal and not be quite so degraded because they've served their useful function and purpose to society which is to mother people like you. People like you who already have a ton of financial and all other kinds of resources available to them. But it's still not enough because every time you get praise the bar gets moved and then you need more praise and more praise and it's just never f****** enough is it? No, it's not.

Looking forward to that one.

"You can't blame me for not being the most feminist guy if my dad traded my mom like s***." Okay, now why was that traded instead of treated?

These snacks were very tasty. I wish she'll get some again.

 Why did that come out in the third person? Perhaps there's a reason? Perhaps perhaps perhaps?

Kind of miss being on the vacation that I was on. 

I can strum my ukulele.

Life can be very painful. Patriarchal people are shockingly prejudiced. Perseverance.

I'll probably have to talk about my own personal experiences with violence and the patriarchy more, and about how some men and women seem to have been very influenced in regards to getting messages about what the patriarchy wanted from them, whether some people like it or not.

I hope my left eye heals soon.

It has developed what seems to be a stye. 

And possibly upon closer inspection a second stye, in the same eyelid in the same eye? 

Specifically, the lower eyelid.

That sounds really appropriate right now.

"Yiannopoulos, 41, described the experience in the US as 'humiliating and disorientating', 'physically degrading' and 'frightening'."

He also said that he was 'ashamed' of his previous support for Donald Trump, who has pursued an agenda of mass deportation throughout his second presidency.

'I didn’t really understand the physical reality of how institutionalized the brutality is in America' he said, adding: 'It’s like everybody that’s arrested is an MS-13 gang member, and it hurts a lot more than it looks like on television.'”

It's apparent that other people have no problem with this whatsoever.

"How to learn how to take care of yourself even though from an extremely young age you were taught to always supposed to look out for others, and you had to as a survival strategy, because average adults aren't very good at looking out for children when it comes to things like sexual predators, for example, and lots of them are so good at  worshipping all kinds of athletic male sexual predators and voting for all kinds of sexual predators if they think it's going to make them a little bit of extra money. The consequences of that have been particularly unbearable recently. So you really have a lot of looking out for others and yourself to do now!"

Just because the patriarchy wants you to act like certain kinds of people are second class citizens and also rewards you more when you're doing what the paychecky wants you to do doesn't mean that everyone can do that or that everyone has to act like it's anywhere near the best option for them to choose to do so.

Of course people want to feel good, and sometimes what feels good is doing what Society rewards them the most for doing.

Just because you got a lot of sexist, misogynistic programming encouraging you to repeat patriarchical patterns pushed into your brain at an impressionable age doesn't mean you have to continue repeating those patterns for the rest of your life.

You know it seems really patriarchical and oppressive and not at all eco-feminist to act like this?

"The best thing about my life and where I get my self-esteem from the most is the fact that I got my body pregnant and gave birth to boys. I'm so filled with self-esteem from this act that I feel entitled to act like I have absolutely no compassion or empathy for people who are different from me."

Really?

Feeling like I should go on another vacation, for at least a whole week though.

And I got parking right in front of the proper place to eat.

Well, at least I was in a good mood when I spontaneously turned down the road to Morro Bay and had fish and chips there.

People are being assholes.

They give me that well, at least I tried the food at that Thai restaurant in Malibu once before it burned to the ground feeling.

Geez when are some people going to stop behaving like such fascists?

This ice cream was for all those children who have to grow up ahead of their time right now!

 

Superman!

I suppose I sort of miss my little one winery Friday afternoon bubble, in a way.

He was an American white guy, and he wasn't doing so well.

Anyways, I decided to go out and eat an ice cream and a beggar came up to me and I gave him some cash. He said he wanted to buy water and a banana. I think there was enough for him to buy those things.


You must think about this once in awhile.

How safe do immigrants who clean motel rooms feel these days?

Dolly Parton is another reminder that music is such a gift!

Madonna Inn was giving a claustrophobic, Trump voters in denial vibe, but they like talking about how Dolly Parton's favorite booth is there and Trump likes flying the flag half mast for Dolly Parton.

If I had known this, I would have taken a picture of that house because I was walking around Solvang taking pictures for my dad (whose birthday it also was yesterday) to show his wife (who's in hospice right now) She really likes Solvang and they enjoyed visiting Dolly's Theme Park earlier this year.

More than enough.

Also I think there's enough mean uncles out there already.

Feminist Man Highlight.











He seems interested in feminism. Which is to say, he seems capable of showing a normal level of concern when an imbalanced patriarchal society is being incredibly harmful to so many women.

I keep thinking about the cleaning ladies wishing me a good morning when I left the motel. πŸͺ£πŸ§½πŸ§Ί

And they were probably friendlier to me because I was feeling really tired as I was trying to make my way down the staircase. I feel it's probable that all of the motel cleaning ladies were immigrants.

Time to test some products.

 

See if they're sellable.

You know who they say likes their wine!

Back to life, back to reality...🎢

If I were rich, maybe I'd become a real wine connoisseur right now. 🀣 Instead of immediately coming down from a vacation "high" by explaining how special this $49 bottle of  wine is and no I don't know off the top of my head how much the tax was for it and that it's for a special occasion like the next birthday or something. Because when you put it that way, it's more relaxing. And how I tasted it and it was pleasing. And I took a bottle off the shelf, but the woman put it back and went and fetched me a bottle that had been on its side the whole time from the cellar. And I think it's pinker too. In the meantime, can research recipes with pink peppercorns to go with it!
