ICE is terrorizing the parents and children of the disadvantaged and to be concerned about their welfare is better for the parents and the children of the advantaged.

Hooray for the Renaissance!
I'm consuming more feminist content, they are taking in more feminist content, learning how to be more feminist feels great, and whatever feminist things I'm going to be doing today and from now on for the rest of my life.

Time to get better at healing stuff!
When I passed by the Pitkin Conrow house while on vacation years ago, and I got this intense need to find out more about it, and then I read online about how it was supposedly haunted by a ghost named Alice, and I started to have flashback as if I had had dreams or out of body experiences while I was sleeping and didn't realize that I was appearing as a ghost named Alice to other people, I was staying in an an Victorian house in Nipomo. It was interesting to read that the girl ghost Alice played with a boy ghost and it seemed like they were friends. I wondered who that could be. I ate too much candy while I was in that house (they had free fudge), and I was ill on the morning that we left.
For the remaining days of the vacation, we moved to a different Airbnb because it was much cheaper. It was a a room in a girl's apartment and I remember when I was there I started to have issues with achescmy body and I started to feel like the issues I was having in my body were connected with some Beatrice / Ludovico stuff and it was trauma about a woman not having enough control over her body in that lifetime and it was tension and trauma in my body, too, like PTSD type stuff. That story was hanging on to my body for years.

Sigh.
I have muscles running along the sides of my body that are sore right now because I did something with a weight behind my head and bringing my arms in front of me and then doing a crunch and I do believe if I had done the amount of exercise that I've been doing for the past 6 months in a man's body it would have made more of a difference. If I were in a man's body instead of a woman's body that has PCOS and perimenopause, it would have made more of a difference in my external appearance and in the size of clothing I wear.
These were cool to witness, too.

Some things could be a lot better later.
Some people might have to forgive the situation if I wasn't a good joiner and if I had to make my own way because they're not in charge of my destiny. It might even make some things come together in a more interesting way later on. Like when you make a mistake in the recipe and you end up improvising and come up with something completely new.
Didn't know that before today.

The younger people are not going to have the same kind of youth that you had.
They are going to be so much more interested in working together on fixing societal problems that you were trained to ignore in favor of self-interest and short-term rewards. I don't know how else to say it right now.
After I got out of jail, in the dreams, some more freedom fighter type people (who were also just average people, actually) came and started talking to me and they told me how full of s*** some people are being right now.
So that was the end of the dream. Walking around. Trying to figure out what to do. And the freedom fighter type people (who are also just average people) were telling me that some people are really full of s***.
It was so nice to be out of jail. But I was wary of going to some spaces. I was still processing my experience.
Recurring dream about getting out of jail.
I had a dream about being put in a little jail or holding cell and I got out of the jail because there were two holding cells and a woman with more Native American heritage was on the other side and she was able to unlock the door. I had to squeeze through some bars to get to her cell to get out. It was scary because we just kind of got thrown in there for no reason, and nobody came to check on us and I don't know how long we would have been in there if she hadn't been able to unlock the door and if I hadn't been able to squeeze through the bars to the other side, and that's what happened in the dream, which I had at least twice.
So humbling to be here again.
It's been really hard because the very deep traumas have been triggered more (reasonably? recently), and I have to pray to the universe for higher guidance and more wisdom, really, for help, when it comes to knowing how to process everything again.
People do deserve a lot of love and forgiveness.
I know I went off my path. I know other people went off their paths. We didn't have the same consequences, but we still deserve some good things to help us get back onto a better path. You know, all the peace and forgiveness and love and all that stuff. We deserve all that. Wow, I don't know why humans learn the hard way sometimes. I guess we make it interesting for ourselves, though.
I sent some bells music to someone who wasn't feeling well yesterday.

My body wants me to be on a more healing path again now.
I had to wake up and do a castor oil pack for myself. I know it's true that people deserve a lot more healing. Everybody deserves some more healing I think. Even people who seemingly had things easier than me some ways deserve better, and we all just deserve more healing. I'm going to try to change for the better now because my body wants me to be more in touch with what I need to do to heal it. Perhaps it'll just be a little bit more boring and and that's okay, I don't know sometimes. I think it's not worth it to be clever and say things that are provocative or referencing other times all the time. There's just this time to live in now so I guess it depends on the situation.
Make it so.
Your life is going to get better. It's going to pay off for you to talk about all this stuff that you were trained to not feel able to talk about. It's going to work out in your favor, too.

Actually, I do think it's sad that people have a hard time communicating and being better friends because there's so many forces that are working on us and making it difficult, and these are forces that have been at work for a very long time, like since we were very young, like since we were children.

The Unwell Patriarchal Culture is not GOD.
You are not a more important human being to GOD than the people who are getting kidnapped and put away in ICE detention centers.
You are not a more important human being to GOD than somebody who got raped by a bunch of spoiled, selfish fraternity brothers.
Stop acting like being a peon of the unwell, chauvinistic, racist patriarchal culture is what GOD wants us all to be. Because that definitely isn't true.
Not everyone is as insensitive as you are. Thank GOD.
Can you stop being so sexist and racist!
I don't know which is worse!
A) You would treat me so much better if I was in a white man's body right now
B) Most of your female friends and male friends would treat me so much better if I was in a white man's body right now!

"Heal What Was Broken Inside You - Stop Overthinking"
@PositiveEnergy Vibrations
It's a really big lesson. 👀
Knowing that some people need to make others into outcasts and untouchables in order to have what they think is a more cozy and secure life for themselves.
It can be shocking, to come to terms with that. To feel it and see it and experience it. It feels like a big shock to the system.
To be honest, some of today was really rough.
People who are capable of more are still not choosing to see certain kinds of immigrants as real humans. People who are being put into concentration camps are real humans. People who have been disadvantaged are real humans.
People are not treating them as real humans. People are treating them as untouchables and outcasts.
People are acting like their money and their temporary short-term pleasures are more important than seeing the humanity in other people.
People who you wouldn't have expected, who you would have thought would do better. Who used to act like they cared about humanity more. Well, they turned out to just be into money and short-term pleasures like everybody else.
But actually, maybe not like everybody else.
That's just like some people.
It's not like everybody on the whole entire planet.

I would not be at all surprised.
You know, the average person doesn't seem to think a lot about how some things are going to look in 50 or 100 or 150 years or 200 years.
I feel annoyed that people have aged into being discriminatory. People who you would have thought would be better. But they get sucked into going along with all the others into discriminating against certain kinds of bodies more than others.
When I was a younger person, none of the major movie stars were anything but tall and skinny.
When she first got famous, I was thinking that my body as a younger person was a bit like Florence Pugh's, but actually when I've seen the latest pictures of her, I still think my hips were always bigger.
And I wouldn't be surprised at all if the universe thought that my being a bigger size at the moment (maybe not forever but at the moment) is actually beneficial in some way.
Thinking long-term thoughts! Maybe it's a survival mechanism, but maybe its also the truth!
I also like all of this snazzy stuff.

"The Hungry Artist: Rereading Betty Smith’s A Tree Grows In Brooklyn"
https://hudsonreview.com/2021/10/the-hungry-artist-rereading-betty-smiths-a-tree-grows-in-brooklyn/
I’ve also talked with readers who grew up in Virginia, in Minnesota, in Chicago, in California—people who are African American, Hispanic, Pakistani—the book’s appeal cuts across class and racial lines, even across gender: during World War II, in an Armed Force Services Edition, it reached thousands of men overseas. One letter to Smith tells of 200 soldiers on a waiting list for the book; another suggests the novel’s ability to evoke strong feeling:
The other day the book came and I started to read and just couldn’t stop. When it got dark I read by flashlight in a dugout and for those hours I was carried away, my heart was light with the Nolans’ triumphs and a thing I thought impossible, so impossible it never entered my mind was that I actually cried at the description of Francie’s and Neeley’s grief when John died.
Surely a book whose impact is so deep and so wide deserves more than cursory dismissal by scholars and critics of literature.

Not everyone can be blah blah blah.
Not everyone can be like Barbro Karlen, who at one point spoke at a university in San Bernardino, but I just didn't find out about her until after she passed away.
"Since childhood, Barbro has had a fear of men in uniforms. Even as an adult, if stopped for a traffic violation by a police officer, Barbro would have such anxiety that she would consider fleeing. In order to get over her phobia of uniforms, as well as to work with horses, Barbro in adulthood, decided to become a mounted Swedish police officer. After completing her training with the Swedish Police Authority, Barbro did become a mounted police officer and she worked with police horses for over a decade."

Reveling in the imperfection of it all...
"When you first begin to speak truth, you may find there is a part of you that criticizes you for not having done it better. If you find yourself reviewing past events, don't make yourself wrong for the way you spoke or acted. Instead, see that you did the best you knew how. You can send energy backward or forward so the energy you send from your heart can heal a situation in the past. Recognize that what you learned opened up your truth.
At a certain level, everyone knows the truth about each other. You may try not to see the truth, but you do indeed know it at some level. There is no hiding from each other, and there is no need to do so. You are a magnificent beautiful alive human being doing the very best you know how. All of you are deeply aware of each other and when you match your words and actions precisely to that awareness you evolve. You may think it is not kind to speak your mind to speak up if you hold an image that is not understanding and sympathetic. You may think you are doing someone a favor by covering up your feelings, but you may be setting up a drama where the only way out is through the truth. You may even have to end a relationship if that is what it takes to detach enough to speak the truth.
Honoring your deepest truth is a great gift to you and to the other person."

This is what it's like...
Who is hiding?
Bold and blustery question typed in a box.
In real life...
*soft whisper*
Who is hiding? Are you hiding?
People do make mistakes.
If some people voted for Trump and they didn't think he was going to do as much of the bad stuff as he's now doing, was it a mistake? Did people agree to participate in this for some reason, to see what we're made of, like, to test our mettle?
Are we reincarnated holy warriors?
I guess it's also a holy time. My cat is enjoying her life a lot. She doesn't know about anything that's going on. Nature keeps on going. Winter is coming. I got this song in my head again.

I feel some measure of appreciation.
I think some people can be better friends and communicators and things like that in the future after we all grow a little more, and it's nice of us to help each other out in this way.
This one looks good! It's out of order but that's okay.
"Revenge of 'A Good Walk Spoiled'” | Revisionist History
https://www.pushkin.fm/podcasts/revisionist-history/revenge-of-a-good-walk-spoiled
I'm going to go back to my puzzle now.
I never finished my Lady Liberty's Independence Day Enterprising Stanley Casimir Pulaski Groceries puzzle this summer, and it a little bit reminds me of the Salem Customs House now. But it's been quite a while, so I hope I didn't lose any pieces from it.
Maybe I can listen to some of Malcolm Gladwell's podcast again. I used to always listen to him when I was working on puzzles.
Can it help, somehow?
Today the universe wanted me to think about Salem, MA a little bit (I visited it in the winter of 2005 with some friends when I was in grad school) and also about how I was in a blizzard in Charleston, South Carolina in 2018 and that delayed my plane several times, and then when I finally flew back, I ended up getting recognized (I now believe) by Elon in the Atlanta airport and then he decided to get on the plane I was on because he recognized me, but I didn't remember him. Although I did sense his presence. But he recognized me because I had talked to him at the La Brea Tar Pits Museum years before because one of his sons asked for help because the parents weren't listening to him, and I sort of nicely stood up to his father and his father liked that and remembered me enough so that he wanted to sit next to me on the plane, and then the plane had to emergency land in Memphis and it was really scary and I felt like he went up and talked to the pilot and helped the plane land and so he actually helped us. But he was not the sort of Elon you see in the news; he was this quiet and reticent guy who just tried to make a little chit chat now and then. And then he sat next to me again on the next plane that went to LA. But I was only half thinking about him if he tried to make conversation with me because I was thinking about Margaux Fragoso more. And then later that year, I finally figured out who he was because he started dating Grimes, who was one of my favorite musicians.
Lol. Because people are like that.
I think people should get really good at examining all kinds of messages that they received even from earliest childhood onwards about how people communicate with each other when it comes to trying to get stuff from each other.
That was a unique experience.
I remember the time I got very sick on a meditation retreat (kidney infection). After I began my antibiotics, I stayed in bed at night and as I was feverish, I heard everyone else dancing and having fun upstairs, pounding on the ceiling, and I could not get away from the noise, so I gave in and felt like I was tapping into some kind of vibrant healing energy just by listening to them. (I don't want to get sick on a retreat again like that, but it was something.)
Maybe maybe maybe
Maybe it's a natural phenomenon and a good quality that people still want to have a regular life and have fun even when things are falling apart. Maybe it is actually like when nature is rallying and determined and it's healthy?
Maybe I should watch the "Hocus Pocus" movies this month. I have never seen them.

Gross misuse of taxpayer dollars.
A whole bunch of people are in jail just for being immigrants right now. Just to make some selfish people feel rich. They're not rich. They're not good.
Thanks to the book I was reading, I went to Sizzler.

I enjoyed the salad bar. I ate less than half my entree. I brought home the rest of the entree and some of the better stuff from the salad bar, which was like, kale and tomato salad and quinoa and chickpeas and stuff, to share. Sharing's fun!
Thought of this thing I saw about prison makeup.
"Prison makeup"
https://www.reddit.com/r/LoveTrash/s/Vmig4TFHUN
I don't love this guy's attitude. I wonder what she's in jail for... I have no idea. But lately I've heard a lot of women are in jail because they fought back against domestic violence. Do you know, I have no idea but anyways. He's got some control freak issues going on, in my opinion.
I don't want to do this, but I do want to do that.
I do think it's interesting to consider the idea of building new things in a way that also takes into consideration many different kinds of people, because right now there's a lot of imbalance when it comes to the people who have more money and people who don't have as much money and it's kind of not even just about the money.
I think it's about values. Some people just value money more than others.
People who value money more than others don't seem very disturbed that lots of concentration camps are popping up everywhere and that kidnappings are happening and that children are being separated from their parents.
It's also more about the acknowledgment of other people's existence and situations. It's less about the money and land ownership and more about acknowledging other people's existence and their situations. Come on, you guys.
I mean maybe I also sometimes think there are karmic debts or experiences that the soul has chosen to undergo and maybe those things surpass the need to manifest fun parties and stuff.
Short version: who picks their food and does these guys's laundry?
Its just ... I sometimes feel like when people are getting ready to speak out about injustices that have been going on for a long time, it can seem disruptive but it's also a great opportunity for healing, and to see that there are talented people who could be participating in that process too feeling that they would rather not, or have no need to participate...I just feel like it's a bit of a cop-out? And also, they're missing out on something very rewarding, actually. But maybe in the future, they will change their minds.
I like this one.🦋

A liminal space? A place of imagination and play...
I feel like when I was a kid and we moved to the island. I walked down the road, downhill, and everything was so pretty. It was spring. In a way, it felt like I was going back to another time. There were farms nearby with draft horses. At some point I got an impression of two men having some kind of heated discussion or argument next to some horses. Later, when I grew up, I remembered it, and began to believe those two were Thoreau and Emerson.
Conditions could be better is what I'm saying.
Future family reunions could benefit from more attention to details.
Whoa there!
Do you really think it's going to look good to be so indifferent about the concentration camps that your money is paying for?
I was not aware that this documentary existed, but now that I am, maybe I will watch it?

I, too, have always wanted to visit a Sizzler. They didn't have Sizzler on the island. But they do still have them in California... And it might not be around forever. Look at what happened to Bed Bath and Beyond and Toys R Us and Joann's...
