Square shapes made with primary colors, like tools that are either made for children, or for adults who are healing their inner children. Adults are talking about them.

It's because I'm doing the Shadow work. But I'm going to shed light on dark places so new things can flourish. Like beautiful gardens. I love them!
The men who are servile to The Patriarchy are so underwhelming. I'm doing more work than them right now. And I am not being paid for it. The system is so, so, so corrupt. Well, I guess it's all coming out now.
The system does not want me to put the health of my body first. It's so hard. I always get sabotaged. It's not fair. Was such a pampered man in past lives, I can tell. Is not that way this time around!
I want to heal but I have to do Shadow work.
Probably the first way of saying it is better.
More privileged and more...something else...

There was this one day, when I had this really nice time...
"Here’s how much ICE detainees pay for 5 everyday items" - The Washington Post
"Family, lawmakers call for mariachi detained by ICE to be released"
It really is a lot of work, especially when you get the kind of genetics that make it a lot of work.
F*** England, f*** Queen Elizabeth, f*** Oasis, f*** The Beatles, and Viva Mexico, cabrones.
Still being fed and clothed by The Patriarchy's persecuted people today! And yourself? Oh well, this is quite obvious!
You just shouldn't let it stand in the way of developing and growing into your full potential as a human being. And even though the Patriarchal White Supremacy wants you to forget about the ones who put you where you are, that attitude is simply not sustainable.
You should figure out how to make the kind of mashed potatoes that don't suffocate the life out of others. And while you're at it, why not think of and thank the people who provided you with those potatoes.
"Privileged guys who got trained to act like your kind is worthless are the very ones who help keep me up here in the manner to which I have become accustomed. Now I must pander to the masses of the most easily manipulated in order to survive the system and not see you."
And all of the women and girls being mistreated and abandoned by this awful patriarchal society deserve so much better!
I really thought some people would have been better at acting like they know that other human beings count as real people on this planet, too.
Since you're being so indifferent and acting exactly like the Cult trained you to act, I don't need to be one who can afford to be in a big crowd of prejudiced people putting you on a pedestal at the expense of the humanity of others. It's very hurtful!
Immigrants are still feeding and clothing you anyways!
The callous Patriarchal cult of White Supremacy really does not want you to change or start acknowledging the existences of a much wider range of human beings. Trump and others have shown me how much the Patriarchal cult of White Supremacy wants people to act like myopic, selfish indifferent assholes. Big money, big crowd adulation, big wounded egos, big trauma, and the outcome of big abandonment of the ones who fit in least well with the cult of Patriarchical White Supremacy. Oh, it is almost too much to deal with!
After all, the immigrants are still feeding and clothing you and your very special set genetics if you're not starving or naked.
Donald Trump and other performers who need the adulation of crowds to make them feel better about themselves and their life choices. It's like they were all raised in a callous Patriarchal cult of White Supremacy who trained them to be like that, or something.
"In addition to feeling impressed by you creating some of the most astounding art I've ever had the privilege to enjoy, I'm even more floored by your dedication to plumbing your own depths to reach the grand culmination: all of the highest peaks of your human potential!"
Successful artists who have made great work That's reached a wider audience sometimes get seduced into complacency when it comes to their own personal development. Because the stuff they've put out is so good and they will always have fans, people who love them for their art, they might become overly reliant on basking in that flattering feedback. Instead of developing themselves further as human beings, they can go back to their fans who love them for the art they've already created.
Developing yourself as a human being is not supposed to be something you're ashamed of or an insult to your character. That's what humans come here to do; they come to Earth to develop themselves. And why should making great art now prevent them from making more great art in the future, which will have to be made after they have developed themselves more as human beings? Why are they so seduced by the compliments and the flattery?
What if artists in the future are really different and they also make a huge point of developing themselves as human beings, and not being as seduced by the compliments in the flattery?
For some reason I'm remembering when we visited my mother's older friend who lived by an estuary on the island, because down the road from her, there were some other older people who had the most beautiful home with gardens. Oh my goodness, these gardens, they were like something out of a fairyland. Those people had a real gift for gardening. It was so beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful. And they seemed so happy there, too! And then, if my memory serves me correctly, we later heard from my mother's friend that everything had burned down and they did not have insurance. I always wondered what happened to them. It just seemed like their gift for gardening was so immense that they would have to go somewhere else and create more gardens.
The mad women could be the antidote to the Mad Men! Ha. Well, I have discovered that when you seem to be sensitive to all kinds of energies on this planet, and also your brain is wired to give access to certain types of interesting information, functioning as a "normal person" feels more difficult, and processing the emotions that come with certain kinds of experiences requires a skill and patience and dedication to forging your own path, even if it feels like you're receiving me messages that you are not behaving as others would like you to behave.
Well, I've had worse days. I'm getting really weird twitchy feelings in certain facial muscles. Maybe some higher light beings are trying to heal me!
Okay, now there's a possum on the wall and it's staring at the cat.
And the cat is about 6 ft in front of me.
So we've got human - cat - possum.
The possum's gone now.
Never mind the possum came back again.
I suppose it does this a lot.

I just want to be able to have a nice life and enjoy art and music and relax and feel like I can have the proper state of health.
Patriarchal attitudes that feel like a warm, comforting bowl of mashed potatoes to some people are like being boiled in oil to other people.
I thought "I feel like the Nine of Swords tarot card is my life right now."
Some people were seemingly just raised to think about whether other people are servicing their needs and not much else. They weren't really raised to be especially curious about people who are different from them. But when more people are curious and show it, it becomes normalized. And now it becomes more normal to think about certain things that used to be so outside of the norm of what the patriarchy wanted you to think about.
These are luxuries. These are not things I used to think I could afford. I know that there are rich people who don't understand these things. I've seen it and I've felt it.
However, it's a quality of life issue. Quality of life is important. Continuously being dragged down over the years because your particular body's state health is unimportant to the system is very difficult.
When I was in my twenties, feminism was not as popular. Sometimes people would just fixate on things like weight loss and looks so much. I wouldn't go back to my twenties even if I wore a smaller size because there's more feminist content available now. Both men and women are making more feminist content online. More feminism makes life better.

Sometimes it's fun to exaggerate the accent a little more.
And sometimes it's fun to be more subtle, like somebody from Winston-Salem or Staunton, Virginia.
I wonder where they're from. I cannot tell. I am not an expert on all things Southern. But I have a little bit of knowledge.

I saw that Bill Burr's going be performing at a venue out here, and I was like, oh I wonder if that would be fun, and then I was like, but he still reminds me of the time I had the worst massage when a man was walking on my back and it was torture and could not believe I was actually paying someone to do that to me, and then at the end when I found out the masseur's name was Bill, I almost immediately thought of Bill Burr, plus it wasn't the masseur's real name, his real name was something Thai, but Bill was his American name.
Dear Energy of a Brother Who Could Convert Conservatives, I do remember when I attended a literary reading that included queer and gay authors and I wrote an article but it did not go to press. Do you wonder why that happened? Because they were unknowns, and they don't sell the same number of tickets that a musical performance does!
You should just make men mad by telling them how messed up by the Patriarchy they are. It's very sisterly. And then they won't be as lonely anymore! They will be filled the joy of discovering they have so much stuff to learn about and work on. Projects!

And then, like a charming fairy tale told by the neighbor hippie parents...
"'Tonight, half hour ago, she started screaming. It was terrible. Whitman and I ran in and found her thrashing about in the bed. There were two bites, on her neck. Oozing blood. The window was wide open. The wind was just terrible. And the room... well, it just spelled bad, man. Like a...a crypt.'
'What the hell are you saying? You think she was bitten by a vampire?'
'I know it. I just know it. It had to be a vampire.'
She was correct about the window being open and there was indeed a fetid aroma in the room and there certainly was blood on the pillow and Tony sure as hell had marks on her throat and, yes, her eyes were still glazed.
I didn't object when Sage and Whitman scurried about laying heads of garlic on window sills and under Tony's pillows and even stringing a head (Red Tempest from Formosa) around her throat.
'It might have been a raccoon,' I said. 'Or a feral cat. You better take her to the doctor tomorrow. You know, raccoons and cats can carry rabies.'
'Are you kidding? With our two dogs out there? There haven't been cats or raccoons around this place since we moved in.'
~~~
Well, the garlic worked. Tony recovered from the vampire bites.
But the garlic did not succeed as well as a contraceptive would have. Tony gave birth to a beautiful son with dark hair and light-blue eyes.
Sage and Whitman still hang garlic all over the house. Even under Tony's pillow."

I feel so garlicky! And this is such a good book. I found it at an Airbnb and then I ordered it for myself later on because I liked it so much!
Sadly, it is not unsullied by a sexist point of view, such as when his friend's daughter got weirdly attacked and then made pregnant and he made a big joke about it, but I do appreciate his passion.
That must be what consuming Patriarchal White Supremacy feels like to some people, eh?
But how generous and thoughtful of him to share this information with us:
"We interrupt this broadcast to send a short message to your mother.
Yes, it's possible that I should have paid more attention to the fact that we've started giving the baby real food now. And yes, I can agree that maybe I didn't listen as closely as I should have when you explained the exact circumstances around that.
But I don't care what you say. Because if I see ten small plastic Tupperware containers of homemade mashed potatoes in the fridge, I'm going to eat those mashed potatoes. Because it's my duty. Because evolution demands it. And most of all, because I love mashed potatoes.
How was I meant to know they were for the BABY? A few months ago, we counted takeaway pizza as 'basically homemade supper,' and now you're standing here, making your own baby food? Who are you? Mary Poppins?
Stop giving me the silent treatment and open the door! It's really cold out here!"

Just in case I have something undiagnosed and maybe garlic can help clear it up if I eat a lot of garlic and maybe garlic will ward off the vampires too.
The hugely successful author of A Man Called Ove Heard wrote a book called Things My Son Needs to Know About the World.
I opened the book and I found a place where he made a joke at the expense of the baby's mother, and it seems like he was trying to be funny, and he's actually just being a huge jerk.

I don't think I am out of the woods yet. I had an image of people cleaning out the fridge and throwing old food away this morning. The tooth I babied and tried not to chew on or touch since last Thursday might not be as imperiled after all. It doesn't seem to wiggle that much anymore. It's been x-rayed and tapped on; I have been told to be very scrupulous with my oral hygiene. The septic tank at this place is also being worked on, as another surprise. Hmmm.

Kind of blame myself for neglecting going to yoga but now it's time to move onwards.
Do not focus on so-and-so's sexist friends. They will divest themselves from the cult of the Patriarchal Supremacy when they feel their calling to do so.
May God have mercy on me and my painful experiences in my injured body today.
Today when I was in a dark corner of a cafe, I began to feel like some shifts were occurring. It felt like I had been carrying around baggage that I want to let go of, a lot of bad feelings. I felt I could let go of of some of that.
"It was HEAVY to carry that stuff around," I imagined another, a friend, saying to me. I was feeling like I could be more in alignment with some other people sometimes in the not too distant future.
I had a childhood memory of jumping in the water and getting it up my nose, perhaps for the first time. It hurt. There were also boys there, playing in the water, but they didn't get water up their nose. Or after all, maybe they did, too?
Young parents in the '80s were people in their twenties not always knowing what they were doing with their children but they were trying and doing their best.
The 1955 "East of Eden" film. Perhaps it's because there's a new one coming out. Also because I spent time in that part of California off and on when I was growing up. Also, I started looking at that book on the phone, too. I have several books to finish.

And fuck the Beatles.
And another group of people were crossing the street towards me, and one of the girls shouted:

There should probably be more songs out there about how the "sensitive" men have done some young women wrong.
"The gentleman standing beside the fireplace with an almost untouched glass of whiskey beside him on the mantelpiece is Mr. A, a descendant of one of the great American families. There has never been an American Blue Book without several persons of his surname in it. He is poor and earns his living as an editor. He has had a classical education, has a sound and cultivated taste in literature, painting, and music; has not a touch of snobbery in him; is full of humor, courtesy, and wit. He was a lieutenant in the World War, is a Republican in politics, but voted twice for Roosevelt, last time for Willkie. He is modest, not particularly brilliant, a staunch friend, and a man who greatly enjoys the company of pretty and witty women. His wife, whom he adored, is dead, and he will never remarry.
He has never attracted any attention because of outstanding bravery. But I will put my hand in the fire that nothing on earth could ever make him a Nazi. He would greatly dislike fighting them, but they could never convert him. . . . Why not?"

You just have to flaunt all of those messages that got pumped into your little fragile brains when you were small and felt insignificant and you wanted to grow up and be big and important and accepted by a violent, patriarchal, racist, misogynistic culture.

The queen of fight or flight, I mean
The Ice Cream Queen of Orchard Street by Susan Jane Gilman | Goodreads
https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/18656072-the-ice-cream-queen-of-orchard-street
Having contempt for others is the number one occupation of the privileged rich ones. They are in a cult.
Tears are coming out of my eyes because it is sad to know this: Acting like the rich white people and rich people of color are more important than the people of color, and sometimes white people, who are getting persecuted right now, is racist. The uncaring Cult of Patriarchical White Supremacy is being activated in a lot of white people and non-white people right now. It's very sad. Tears are coming out of my eyes.
If other people had chewed on their finger hard, it wouldn't have messed up their tooth. I had a weaker tooth. I used to have a stronger tooth than that for most of my life. My other tooth off with the veneer didn't get messed up. It was the crowned tooth.
White people of privilege hate thinking about others more than any other kind of people, but also, a lot of other kinds of people will adopt that white people of privilege mentality if it helps them fit in with the cult and get some short-term gains. There's a lot of not very sensitive people from all kinds of backgrounds out there, stuck in their own survival modes, and being the insensitive people that they are being is, I guess, the best they can do right now. I just don't know why.
People who are in a cult act like people who are on drugs, or like they are possessed by an entity who makes them lose the ability to have empathy for others. They can't be your friend because they're serving their cult.
I hopefully just have to get through one more day with the tooth that's damaged. I don't want my husband to burn out because he never gets any days off because he's the one that makes the schedule and they made them lay people off and he doesn't seem to know how to give himself days off. I'm so tired. My mother has early onset Alzheimer's. My father's wife is extremely sick. I know that the Patriarchy hates people. I don't understand why the richer, more privileged people have to hate the poorer ones.
This woman (a fictional character, but still) had a terribly stressful life; a lot worse than mine.

Hey, this is a world filled with people full of wounded hearts and psyches, but I think this is still an odd take if you're either a man or a woman.
"Oh, it doesn't matter if The Patriarchy wanted me to grow up to imitate others and act sexist towards x types of people. I can definitely avoid addressing that. You know why? Because I can make men act like they adore me."
Um, okay, I guess? And that's it? Isn't that absurd?
It's actually, I suppose, quasi-normal-seeming if your role models were sexist male cult leaders.
Anyways, what about thinking about some other things, like how clouds can tell us things about weather patterns?
That's something I want to learn about.
Sexism has been a real problem in so many places. How awful it has been, to experience it. People who are still in the throes of their own sexist programming are not going to be able to help you very much. That's why you must pay more attention to looking for much better ways forward, for your own health and well-being.
I live where I can see local fireworks from our backyard. That's fun because I didn't used to have an easy time getting a view of the fireworks. But my favorite 4th of July fireworks were the ones I saw as a kid in Michigan. My grandmother had so much fun taking us to see them. She'd drive to a quiet neighborhood and park her car on a hill where we had a perfect view of them. It was a magical excursion. I thought, how could anybody not love this? Truly, I felt that it was one of the best things we experienced all year.
Nowadays, I sort of feel like I can "take or leave it" about fireworks but I try to enjoy them and tap into my inner child when they are easy to see. Cats are not a fan of the noises and need to be by a safe human when the fireworks are going off.
One had a big American flag. I don't think I have ever seen that before. That was cool.
I'll get a better camera someday.
There was an airplane circling around in the sky for a while. I took pictures, but it only showed up when it was against the backdrop of white clouds. I still need to do more work on the Lady Liberty puzzle. I guess I didn't work on it very much today.

The Ice Cream Queen of Orchard Street is fun book to read, but the main character deals with her problems in very materialistic ways.
I just read the part in this book where they they turned some melting ice cream into soft serve and sold it on the side of the road to a bunch of travelers on the 4th of July!

When some people get closer to healing from the weird and not great messages they got programmed with in childhood which are still manipulating them.
Things became very overwhelming for me and it's been a painful time and I have a very expensive dental repair coming up which insurance is not going to cover. So I need to get through the weekend.

Acting like a tool of the patriarchy is not cool because it's actually a very cruel way to behave towards fellow participants in the human experience.
Inspiring! I will take some fun road trips soon.

Actually it's feeling very next level to burn incense, clean off the table with hands that are no longer holding a cigarette, and listen to some music.
People who know how to see people give me more hope than the people who don't know how to see people.

All the male and female DJs ever do is play and praise men. No that's really an exaggeration. That's not all they ever do. That's just most of what they do. Men are such a great distraction from all the other s*** that's going on, aren't they?
This is me: "Gosh, the universe seems to want me to realize in a very empirical way how much adversity some girls and women have experienced in this extremely imbalanced Patriarchal society. And it really is felt at multiple levels. Physical, mental, emotional, medical, financial...Surely some kind of increased spiritual development will be the payoff."
This is them: "Amazing white men! Poor white men! Thrill me! Chill me! Whatever more can we do to attend to the needs of important white men?"
Especially when it seems so relevant to your actual lived experience.

Frustrating times resulted in a dental accident and it will need to be addressed after the weekend is over.
It will distract me from or help me deal with the great contempt that is currently being foisted upon so many by the more wealthy and privileged.
I also have no idea when the paycheck-earner of the house is getting another day off (yes of course, today will not be a day off), and it's out of my hands.
"Right at this time of year I once decided to have a party to bring together Japanese dance and flamenco. I felt there were invisible threads connecting these two forms of dance that seem at first glance to be so utterly opposite. Nihon buyΕ is one of the main arts of the geisha, but I never learned it. I was too old to start dance lessons at twenty-five, and anyway too tall (five feet seven inches), according to my geisha mother. Shamisen was already my gei (art), and so it remained. Since geisha tend to specialize as either dancers or musicians, it was perfectly acceptable that I didn't dance."
