How dare my brain distract me from good, wholesome cat lady content with stuff like this?

 I should play this

Maybe you can imagine such things too.

Sometimes it's weird to think that I could have been born in another time and have lived through the decades and be an old Boomer guy, maybe even like a dad or a grandpa. It's crazy, man. I wonder how many of my friends would have voted for Trump.

Oh, I think need to watch both this video and the other one soon, too!

How about on behalf of others? What if the wrong person gets into the Uber of someone you're supposed to take care of? I actually like having these kinds of conversations; I actually have fantasies about having these kind of conversations.

I am of the opinion that multiple kinds of people can look at the stuff that's happening right now.

And we have to make the world more equitable and safer for multiple kinds of people. And we have to start seeing and listening to multiple kinds of people. And it's not going to be perfect in our lifetimes. And it doesn't have to ruin everything if things get uncomfortable sometimes. However, it will take time and effort and patience.

Takes so much effort to try to start to do something fun...

 Relax and make some easy art! 

I have to laugh.

I believe I can understand multiple points of view.

And if I'm nice and calm and grounded, I can even integrate the goodness that can come from understanding multiple points of view, instead of feeling like they're making me ping pong around every place.

so grouchy

I really think inequity sucks a lot and I wish other people were just as mad about it as me, because why not? I don't care. I'm not that spiritual sometimes when it comes to those things. I'm not like the picture I deleted a talk by Wayne Dyer who thinks all resentment is unjustified. I don't really f****** care; just get mad. Neither spiritual friend nor hard-working Mexican American man shall be a chaperone to me if I end up going on a musical excursion. I actually thought spiritual friend might be able to do so because she lives with people who are in a band and her ex-husband used to be in a band, but on second thought, maybe that is not a good indicator.

Is a really weird time to be alive on Earth, you know?

This reminded me of some stuff about how Patriarchy operates.

"It's going to have to affect their daughter before they feel it."

But actually, if it affects their daughter instead of them, that's really no guarantee, either.

Sometimes the opposite of perfection is exactly what happens.

Yesterday, when I was not in panic attack mode but still feeling triggered and nervous, my friend who normally doesn't really focus on the bad news of the world suddenly started talking about how AI could wipe out jobs and I said I can't talk about this right now and she said oh but there are people who are getting together and forming committees to address it, and also, sorry I didn't mean to trigger you but thank you for telling me. This is would be my tall and thin friend who has lots of people in her family who are the opposite of television (lol, tall and thin) and more like me. And she doesn't seem to have an eating disorder that makes her feel like she has to disrespect others just because she's been told thin is better. Also she's a mother of two but she doesn't have an attitude about it that makes you feel inferior or less than for not being a biological mother, and in fact she actually lost one of her children at a very young age. It is interesting how some people will teach you raise the bar when it comes to other people's behaviors, though.

Lord, is this progress?

I had a dream about an artist getting concerned about the welfare of others.

A friend shared this with me today.

This feels more grounding.

This is a "you learn more from the journey," and not so much a know exactly what you're supposed to do, or a figure out exactly how things are going to turn out in advance, kind of a thing.

On account of some parking issues, the evening got weird.

Gooooooooooooooooooooool.

Ended up in a Peruvian restaurant with futbol behind me, a couple with a baby in front of me, and Kamala Harris in Michigan on TV behind them.  

Wolfed down the food.

Told my friend in the car that romance and control issues are not good to experience, and it's not like a panic attack was happening, but it was nerves, and it was triggering.

But maybe this was a good thing to know about me! At this time. 

I'm disappointed that nobody wants to come to a concert with me. 


Well that's already a few days ago, and who knows what dreams are going to happen next.

One of my vivid dreams that I had when I went on my little retreat was there was a boy in the dream who was standing in front of a gas pump and he told me to pay him and then said if I turned around he would tell me he loved me and that was like a real thing he did for money and I was amused by this for some reason. So I was opening up my pocketbook to find some money to give him and something told me he was going to chew up the money in his mouth and open it and show me he didn't really care about the money, and then this one morphed into an adult man, kind of blond, tied to a tree with Cupid's arrow stabbing him in the heart and he was giving a performance. So I guess it was a combination of this and some other stuff that happened in the dreams that made me feel like I needed to heal my third / solar plexus chakra when I woke up. Anyways, it wasn't my worst session of vivid dreams, I guess.

Making space on the phone device is a good spring cleaning activity.

Apple blossoms from another year competing with pictures of apple blossoms from this year. 

And I believe after that there's a picture from last time I saw a show; it was Skating Polly.

I think I'll eat this for as long as I can keep getting pomegranate seeds.

Roasted endives with some olive oil, walnuts and the pomegranate seeds were added at the end. Probably will add salt and pepper, too.


Nature's being naturey!

Today there was a celebration of life for a poet and mentor and teacher who passed away so unexpectedly this month.

"Amble in the Woods"

https://ambleinthewoods.blogspot.com/

Because some people read poems he wrote about acorns, I decided I wanted to make something with acorn flour. I still need to do this. I have the acorn flour and the ingredients for the recipe I want to make. I always thought I would make it in the Autumn for Thanksgiving, but maybe it's good to have in the Spring. Our teacher's wife said he would love it if everyone committed a radical act of wonder. Right after the end of a zoom call something told me to go open the front door and I found a package. 

The star necklace came!

I never order jewelry but this was a piece I kept thinking about; I really wanted to order it, so I did.

It's beautiful! 

" A radical act of wonder, " I thought to myself.

Also, it's cool because when I visit that blog I can see a video of Quaker Lake, and I had decided to read one of the poems about Quaker Lake from his book. So I'm going to go watch that video now.

Another radical act of wonder!

I watched it while I was eating, and the roasted walnuts and pomegranate and endive with salt and pepper and also some tiny roasted zucchinis taste so delicious! Also, I shared some of my veggies with a harder working person who's eating a microwaved burrito in front of the computer in the other room. I'm pleased to be able to contribute roasted veggies to somebody's life!

How artistically interesting...

When I drove out to the desert, the billboards that seemed to stand out to me the very most were the ones for that " Something Very Bad..." Netflix show, and for Nine Inch Noize.

Suddenly, I kind of miss being in the van with my mom as a young person when she was laughing at the "Waitress" song by Tori Amos. (She was laughing in a good way. "I believe in peace...") I also have a memory of my sister telling me that our mother liked that Nine Inch Nails "Closer" song.

Moms can be so much fun when they're not getting brainwashed by Patriarchal bullies or trying to appease cranky controlling men, yeah...

Humans have to work harder than my cat.

It was fun and interesting to go away, but also there were some low moments. I viewed the place I was staying in a like a womb. It had very dark interiors. I had access to a hot tub and the stars were beautiful out in the desert, but I couldn't stay outside at night very long. Had to be inside. Time went by pretty fast. I guess I would have enjoyed the hot tub and stars more with company. But the point was to be on a solo vacation. I had vivid and disturbing dreams in the morning. I experienced some toothache stuff. The vulnerable after the vivid dreams feeling needed a chakra healing music video. The third chakra seemed to be the one that needed the most healing after those weird dreams.

Cat even thinks watching you do some house cleaning is fun.

The cat just wants to have fun. The cat just wants to have fun and go hunting and eat food and get petted and make messes and take naps and have fun... 🫴🏼🐈‍⬛😊🎢

People should use their talents wisely.

People who sound a lot like someone else when they sing kind of remind me of when I read about how the neighbors used to say that Thoreau sounded so much (too much) like Emerson, especially if the person who's doing that kind of looks like a modern-day version of Thoreau with a beard and just that whole look.

In the name of effervescent brotherly love, nothing can be rushed!

Okay, the side of me that's interested in narrative does not want to take a vacation yet, I guess, because I just remembered that when I was a little kid and I visited the shall I say not so friendly mom babysitter (poor woman, she needed to just take care of her son and not all of those other people's kids) I realized that I'm pretty sure her son's name was Steven. Was he The Little Prince of the household? Yes, he certainly was! He wasn't really my friend. Well he was too little, for one thing. The brown kid who the babysitter seemed to like the least of all was the most my friend. He loved me the most. I associate him with caring and embarrassment and a hot flush coming to my face. Because when I got off the school bus and he called out for me and I tried to run to him, the babysitter yelled at him and it was super mean and I felt so much empathy and love and shame and my face got very hot. Maybe I'll go under hypnosis one day and remember his name. But the universe has allowed me to remember that Steven was like the little prince of that domain. Isn't it funny?


"The Emperor's New Clothes" was playing on the radio as I thought about the amusingness.

This was a fun part of life yesterday.

I got a set of books for $4 (at a library used book sale before an appointment) and before I picked out the books, I thought the set of music I listen to in the car was pretty cool; I typed it into my notes before I walked into the library.

I like how unfettered by Patriarchal Society my cat feels...

 My cat acts happy every day. 

Actually, this is true.

Actually yesterday I met people who made efforts to be nice. It's just that they're working within a barbaric patriarchal healthcare system, and the stuff they have to do to conform in order to work within the barbaric system and get their paychecks kept poking and stabbing at me.

Everything's too weird. Glad I get to go away...

And there are very humorous parts in it, so it's good.

Oops, good things can still happen in the future though.

Kind of another death like experience I don't hardly even want to talk about this but a medical visit  made me think it's a real shame that there's a lot of adults who are constantly walking around in a state of perpetual immaturity and insensitivity. They (trained professionals) will blatantly say stuff like they just want everybody to get a Mirena inserted even if that's not necessary for your body. It's like a cult that's not the right fit for your health. Then you have to walk back to your car afterwards and try to feel like not throwing yourself off a cliff again.

This is a restaurant job song...🎢

This song came on the radio recently and it reminded me of when I worked at a restaurant back when they still allowed smoking in the bars all the time.  I was over 30 years old with a master's degree and real bills and student loans and rent to pay and I was also trying to help out some unwell family members and I took little trips to see them and had a sort of flexible schedule. I got paid $10 an hour, and then I found out that another host who was an 18 or 19-year-old kid, got paid $13 an hour, and he was a boy. And sometimes I was nice to him because he would cover shifts when I had illnesses, such as getting a horrible yeast infection from my gut getting out of balance because of drinking free soda all the time, because that was the way to get through a shift; you could drank a lot of free soda. And then you were supposed to be upbeat and energetic and answer the phone with: "You've hit Rock Bottom!"

It's April! I can make a pilgrimage to Corrie ten Boom's grave.

Gee, maybe some things have been orchestrated by a more optimistic corner of the universe...

Doubling the possibility of feeling on the verge of going insane for different reasons in pursuit of a brave experiment is worth the joys of acquiring knowledge through empirical methods, I guess, lol?

How thoughtful of her to bring along lots of dancers to entertain Mr. Science Variable as he just sits and stares and drinks whatever he's drinking. He's probably processing a lot of information and learning so much. Oh wait! He's got also a whole bunch of scientists...he's got like a team with him. This is being concocted by the aliens' intelligences. Actually, I feel like it's like dance tryouts in front of judges. What happened at the end. Did he spontaneously combust?

And of course, it made me think about the yellow wallpaper, too. Sigh...

Doesn't it ever feel like the suffering ones deserve better and they got to get to the next level somehow?

When it feels bad, like there are forces that want to suppress your voice, you seek evidence that there are others who probably would not do so.

"In 1972, Martha 'Marty' Goddard volunteered at a crisis hotline, counseling girls who had been molested by their fathers, their teachers, their uncles. Soon, Marty was on a mission to answer a question: Why were so many sexual predators getting away with these crimes? By the end of the decade, she had launched a campaign pushing hospitals and police departments to collect evidence of sexual assault and treat survivors with dignity. She designed a new kind of forensics tool—the rape kit—and new practices around evidence collection that spread across the country. Yet even as Marty fought for women's rights, she allowed a man to take credit for her work.

When journalist Pagan Kennedy went looking for this forgotten pioneer, she discovered that even Marty Goddard's closest friends had lost track of her. As Pagan followed a trail of clues to solve the mystery of Marty, she also delved into the problematic history of forensics in America. The Secret History of the Rape Kit chronicles one journalist's mission to understand a crucial innovation in forensics and the woman who championed it. As Pagan Kennedy hunts for answers, she reflects on her own experiences with sexual assault and her own desire for justice."
