Speak of the devil!

 The older gentleman dining behind me were talking about the healthy range weight range for a 5'10 man and it's apparently 132 to 195. I looked up a 5'4 woman and apparently it tops off at 145. I don't know who set these standards but they are pretty impossible to meet for some people.

Felt drawn to eat American Italian food tonight!

Some rolled eggplant with the cream sauce and vegetables and pasta. It's very good. I will take half the entree home. 

I think if  some people believed in multiple soulmates they wouldn't be so worried about some people giving his getting skinnier.

I didn't really watch the show "Friends" very much, but that was one thing that stuck in my mind from an episode of "Friends," the having multiple soulmates idea.

I didn't expect my little walk around part of the lake to be this enchanting.


And then, and then...

 


Gazebo wants a girlfriend!


Full moon over an army tank!

I believe I like to be authentic. 🙀

Also, we should all get better at the whole friendship is magic, brotherhood of men and humanhood of women stuff. But sometimes I honestly don't know what to do. Maybe I should just be like those people who smile big and repeat positive stuff that isn't true and then that will make it so.

"I'm so happy that my husband is treated so well at his job and gets consistent days off every single weekend or at least every week because I can tell the people in charge really care. I feel so fortunate to be enjoying an optimal state of health and things are getting better and better all the time."

I feel like somebody was impressed when I brought this poem to a class.

I don't know if the students were really into it and they were all forced to be there because it was a special summer program where the people who were the first in their families to go to college had to go to compulsory tutoring everyday and I really feel like tutoring worked better when it wasn't compulsory and when they chose to come. 

But they had this counselor type person and I think the counselor type person might have seen the poem and been impressed by it. 

Anyways, I'm never going to know and I might be wrong but I like to think that one person benefited!

Otto Frank was kind of like a good rich guy, I guess?

For the majority of his life, he was very wealthy! Just not so much when he had his kids. And when Hitler was doing the worst. But before and after that war, he was very well off. And he was a decorated soldier from the previous war. I guess they just don't make all rich guys the same.

I just polished off some cheese.

And apple butter and pumpkin sourdough bread. Anyways, I'm afraid some of these rich guys are going to look like dumb pool boys to the descendants. And now I'm sorry because there's probably a pool boy out there who's really smart and he's like hey don't insult us. The English language is an imperfect medium. I just feel like I'd be in a better mood if there weren't so many concentration camps. I feel like this has been a lifelong battle. Scarred for life. By a past life, possibly?

I hope I get some healing help from the universe with this today.

I got some very tender, maybe receding gum line type stuff around my lower left teeth and it's causing a lot of sensitivity. It's quite distracting right now. I hope to get some help with healing that.

Anyways, do whatever you want, I guess.

It doesn't stop the fact that I've decided to be convinced that for years, some kinds of forces aligned with Otto Frank et. al. have been interested in my life and are watching over me.

I'm trying to hone in on the best part.

We have to stop these old patterns from continuing.

Come on, Brothers!

You can still have the fun things you like. They'll just be better in the future.

I really wish I didn't have to be this mean.

But weren't Nazis just like the most hard-bodied and libidinal dudes ever? Do you think dudes who are more into their own and each other's muscles than anyone else could ever be into them are kind of like, the ones who make concentration camps possible?

Rich people f****** hate talking about concentration camps, and yet rich people are the ones who make the concentration camps happen. 

It's really sick. It's like Epstein Island type crap.

We have a ridiculous amount of concentration camps in this country right now, and they never f****** want to talk about it. 

The rich guys are like last on the list of who's going to take care of your little sister.

And first of the list to make excuses for the ones who've made your life worse! 

Stop doing that!

They're more aligned with the fraternity brothers who are terrible. We have to stop this pattern from continuing. Come on, Brothers!

Do you think the grandchildren are going to care how hard your bodies were? 

"My grandpa couldn't be a freedom fighter. He was too busy thinking about his muscles. He was kind of a Nazi, actually."

You rich guys kind of suck, sometimes. I mean a lot. You make so much extra work for the rest of us to have to f****** do just because you're so into yourself and following some weird program that got shoved into your brain at a very vulnerable age.

It's almost like you have to learn how to be much kinder and more attentive to yourself first.

And then perhaps some other people will be brave enough to follow suit.

I know that there are others who feel that way too.

I feel like my responsibilities extend beyond my own personal situation or feelings or wishes or hopes or dreams. My body thought it could be relaxed and have fun and go on excursions and suddenly it's screaming at me to stay inside and do some kind of healing work on my nervous system. It's pretty crazy. I wouldn't wish it on a lot of people, actually. I feel like I got stuck in a glitch where humanity started to progress and then stalled. So I have to be super attentive to my health, and that doesn't always equal what some other people's ideas of of optimal health means in this time period, which is the 2020s.

Actually, I might have to stay in right now.

I feel really complicated. I think I might need to do some energy healing work all by myself. Sigh. Sometimes we have more difficult situations to work with, and we must do what we can with what's available to us.

But isn't it cool how Craftsman Taylor...

I want to think about praying and God a lot. I don't want to be the same anymore. I can become a new person.

My cat is back after an escape and we are so relieved.

That was scary. She got out either while I was in the shower or after I was lying down and I fell asleep while I was listening to some content from one of my classes. I wasn't feeling very well. I fell asleep. Then I woke up and I didn't know where she was.

She's in for the rest of the night. She was found underneath the car and she was scared but now she's back inside. 

We need to be doing our utmost to be good to ourselves and to be truthful and open and flexible enough to make good changes. We really need to truly be good to ourselves and do our best, and only in that way can we be good to others and help each other.

I really think I must have needed to get some kind of wake up call, and I did.

Taking pictures outside was a nice way to end the day.

Thinking about opportunities.

I've had a certain set of experiences in this life, and I know that some of my experiences have been different for me because I've been a woman as opposed to maybe in another lifetime when I was a man, and it just feels like if I don't pay attention to those experiences, and if I'm not a fairly high level of feminist as a result of those experiences, I'm squandering my opportunity. Not every opportunity is about generating revenue. For a lot of my life, being feminist didn't seem to make most women very rich, so it didn't seem very lucrative, but that's not the point. The point is to make the most of your opportunities and sometimes things that advance the Soul or Society or Humanity do not generate a high $ income right away. This is how it's been. And in fact, the very opposite seems to be true sometimes, where being sort of selfish and against women having advancement seems to be very $ lucrative for some people and it make some people feel very fortunate and rich and powerful. But I don't understand how they can be satisfied with that. And it gives me the creeps, too.

I do. I feel in awe. I feel like love is in the universe.

 One of my friends who helped me out a lot recently helped her sister peacefully transition and she told me some things about it. I feel in awe.

It got cold and whispery, in a good way.

"Seven Swans" ~ Sufjan Stevens

A whole mentality that is simply never going to be accessible to a lot of people.

I feel like wanting to be a part of the Epstein class is a whole mentality.

Savannah who has opinions about immigrants vs. any male or female character in the "Address Unknown" story.

I have a feeling that the people trapped inside the concentration camp don't get a lot of access to Angry Chickz delicious sandwiches, but some of the people that work for the concentration camp probably do.

I think I want a chicken sandwich.

As a spiritual being having a human experience, I decided I craved a chicken sandwich, and when I searched online, I saw a chicken sandwich place that I had never seen before, and I thought oh, let's see where "Angry Chickz" is, and it's too far away, but lo and behold, it's really close to the nearest concentration camp.

Are you into Kings? 👑

Savannah seems really into Kings. 👸🏻

My hair is still wet.

I took a shower, and then I watched a little bit more about silly Savannah, and now I want to take a shower again. It's insane.

"20 Striking Examples of Modern Rooms With Grand Pianos"

https://www.housebeautiful.com/room-decorating/living-family-rooms/g38529637/modern-rooms-with-grand-piano-ideas/

The last time I was in a fine living room with a grand piano was in the late 1990s when I was in college. I slept over at my classmate's house and she introduced me to a show called Red Dwarf, and we watched multiple episodes of it in her room. Her father, who was probably in his late thirties or early forties, had some money but he was very strict. So according to her, I had to be hidden away from him. He knew I came over to visit for a while, and I feel like perhaps when I saw him, it was in the living room by his grand piano. But he didn't know that I slept over, according to her. I'm not so sure that he didn't know, actually. But nevertheless, I slept over at her house. We were both technically adults but not 21 yet. When she decided to go out with a very nice young man in our religion class, he called his own daughter a w**** because he was such a controlling jerk. So I don't know why I feel like looking at rooms with grand pianos in them now, and thinking about how there must be nicer people than that. Or maybe her father evolved became a nicer guy to his own daughter eventually.

Silly Savannah! I need a break from her now.

Gee, I guess we can be grateful they wouldn't have done that nowadays.

"Address Unknown was first published in Story magazine in September 1938, and then in book form a year later, becoming an instant bestseller. It has been translated across the world, adapted into a 1944 film and into multiple productions for the stage and radio – all under the name of Kressmann Taylor, after Story’s editor, along with Kathrine Kressmann Taylor’s husband, Elliott, decided it was 'too strong to appear under the name of a woman.' The impact was immediate, the story credited with having 'jolted America,' alerting it to the horror unfolding in Nazi Germany."

Creativity and problem solving and empathy.

I do feel like those are three ingredients that could go together very well, and they could really help make the world seem like a much less atrociously violent place for some of us. 

I see far too much evidence that other people don't value those three ingredients, and for some reason, they seem to think that just worshipping another three ingredients (men and money and STEM) and turning a blind eye to the world's violence is an adequate substitute for the rest of humanity, and it's really not.

So consider valuing these three ingredients more:

Creativity 

Problem-solving

Empathy

Show that you value all kinds of women and children by acting like it.

Not just the ones who are going to act like they want to jump out of a cake and say you're a king all the time. And then they'll be more valuable to you. Because that's Patriarchal sexist nonsense. It's not what the majority of us were born to do.

He is sexist, and he does remind me of Texas.

Since that one Texas dad's wife and daughter still do not feel empowered enough to help me out, I think he should stay the f*** away from me. Donald Trump is our "Rich Dudes in Show Business Hate Women" President. Hating women feels far too normal to these guys.

Turn in your homework on Aunt Lydia and Serena Joy, then write for five minutes on the following three panels.

 "There is now a market in alarms, drink spiking testers..."

"I KNOW THAT THE LOCKER ROOM IS EVERY SINGLE ROOM WHERE MEN ARE THE MAJORITY. Not just Cornell fraternities"

"Men are hardwired to empathize with men over women. That is not going to change because men lose nothing from not giving a s*** about women's feelings. In fact, men have sustained power through their worship of each other..."

And yes I've been talking to some other people about AI because it's just infiltrating people's jobs and everything. 

And at the same time, even though everybody is going to be encouraged to use AI at their jobs now, I also feel like it's possible to live in a way where it's just kind of like a tiny corner of your life and it doesn't absolutely take everything over?

I feel like it's possible.

I just got to have a really nice life tonight.

I saw a variety of people. We talked about a lot of different things. We talked about books. We talked about ideas. I was in this place. I was in that place. I discovered that I liked it better when I was in a group of people when they're a little bit less moralistic and a little bit more just, like, discussing ideas. There was food. There was wine. There are plans to do some fun things in the future. 

I wonder why. 

Because part of me still has one foot back in a place where lots of traumas and confusion and distress was unfolding, so to have a harmonious evening feels almost strange.

But also, maybe it feels natural enough to expect it to keep on happening. It's pretty good.

Did you see this? I keep thinking about it.

Wow, that's crazy! Would they really do this? Why?

I think this might get through to some old school kinds of dads!

"What Makes Men in Groups Behave so Badly" by Kate Manne

The phone woke me up. 911 may not be working.

 


I got to have one of those really good dreams.

I got to see my friend who's been through hard times in a dream. I was happy to see her again. It was a good dream. Now I feel like we might see each other again in real life someday.

Oh this is good. I think this is golden. This is a real gem!

Building a new world might not necessarily be all about building a new business that's lucrative right away.

Explain.

Did the Lord say ""You must abandon others as you yourself were abandoned, and then you will be doing my work" (?)

I didn't expect that to be the dream, but that's what it was.

I had a dream that in order to get a skeleton I mean in order to get out of some mucky water I had to get away from a skeleton that was attached to me and I was able to put the skull on a shelf because I was in this Nature Center even though I was also in the water. It makes no sense really. And then the skeleton had a bunch of brochures and information about parks and stuff. It was like the spirit that had been attached to the skeleton who was sort of like a grandfather type said, Well, I did my best. So something that seemed horrifying ended up being about just getting a little bit detached from something that you no longer needed and then and then you had to go on to the next thing and maybe find some new people to talk about it with. I don't know. It's very weird and quirky after being such a dramatic thing like you're saving yourself from drowning.

I am horrified. Truly.
