I feel so sick. I can tell I am not well. I'm going to pray. Everybody deserves healing and love.
Thursday, July 09, 2026
You have to make a new way instead.
Older men who were taught to go along with patriarchal white supremacy and who are treated best by patriarchal white supremacy will fill your minds with poisonous ideas and tell you that you're supposed to live that way, but it's not going to work out as well for you. It's not going to work out as well for your children. It's definitely not working out as well for other people and their children!
Pray for yourself and for protection.
I have seen men use and manipulate other women's children to prop themselves up and to make themselves feel better about what they did to align themselves with a patriarchal white supremacy. That is not a good way to be.
Pray. People deserve healing. People deserve to get well.
The sick ones need bravery so that they can heal.
God help the sick and the wounded ones.
Poor little wounded by the unwell Patriarchal Culture babies.
I want to cry for what's happening right now.
I feel like what I'm going through right now is really terrible and the tooth injury is just making it worse, with people ignoring acting like it's okay if I just attend to it with more flossing and it's not okay.
I'm re-visiting this one now.
"Clearing shame and pain from the hips, psoas and fascia"
JadeCosmicIntelligence
And it's sad when people I used to admire remind me of them.
Me and my sister were exposed to dangers and my horrible relatives never wanted to acknowledge it because they're assholes. Their favorite thing about themselves is the houses they own and the way they were able to align themselves with an unwell Patriarchal White Supremacist culture and take vacations to Europe, or sometimes other places because that's their way of being culturally sensitive. They probably went over there and acted like ugly Americans. And I don't know what else. I'm glad I didn't bring little children around them. Some people become worse as they get older. That's what I learned.
They aren't? Really?
Oh, they're not racist and sexist? They're just awfully prejudiced and act like it in ways that are incredibly racially insensitive and "accidentally" misogynistic? All the things that the unwell White Supremacist Patriarchy taught them to be when they were children. And they never healed from it, and then they have to show off how entitled they feel to perpetuate those old, prejudiced attitudes. Terribly unwell people. I suffered from being too sensitive when their behavior got so terrible; I was distraught. I felt like I was related to Nazis or something. It's bad. Other people were luckier with the kinds of people they got in their families. I should have just made myself less sensitive and let them bother me less. If they want to act like prejudiced materialistic jerks in their old age, that's their f****** problem. The hoarding sexist, selfish, prejudiced jerks of Patriarchical White Supremacy.
I can't take on her religious beliefs or outlook on gender roles, but my grandmother was a good person.
My grandma didn't have to be friends with a single Mexican person to see a Mexican person working hard in the fields in Michigan, and to have empathy for their struggle. And she used her words. I wish her other children had turned out more like her because they didn't, and they've been acting like huge materialistic assholes.
What did my uncle do when I tried to bring up concerns about racial prejudice to him? He stopped talking to me and then he made a big display of inviting friends with little boys to play on his farm and their last name was White and he made this big deal about how their last name was White and that's what he posted. Who does that? This is a man who worked in the school system. He has multiple degrees, and psychological training. This is what he did. He regressed into a prejudiced child. What an awful person he was. This was somebody I was supposed to look up to and respect and admire when I was a child. A creative person. An artistic person.
Where do white people get off acting like such assholes? They dare to act like assholes right when the country is getting more and more awful for non-white people. Everyday the white people get worse in their behaviors.
This stuff is really happening. People don't need more people to be in denial about it.
It's important to live with good, honest people. It's not as important to have a perfect relationship. You can always work on the relationship more. I feel that I live with a good, honest person. We don't have a perfect relationship. Also, to be honest, the worst thing is that sometimes things that happened to me were things he didn't want to believe happened to me, and that felt a lot like gaslighting, and that's incredibly painful. It was just hard for him to want to believe that something that happened to me that he didn't want to happen to me had happened. But he's not malicious. He deserves better. I'm not going to expose him to the icky, foul, prejudiced white people. Are they crazy? Yes, the answer is yes. The foul, prejudiced white people are f****** crazy. And it's probably better that I don't have children right now. But if I ever am put in the care of children, I know what I think about them. I think they are not good for children. I'm sad that their own children don't have better role models than them. Well, I hope that they do find some better role models. They're going to need them.
Sorry if they are hurting; if they don't seem to think so.
You deserve better; abused children deserve better. The incredible emotional immaturity of some makes them audacious. Well, I guess it had to come out. Maybe a lot of the younger people can learn from the example of the older people, and not repeat what the older people are demonstrating.
You should never expect your children to emulate your prejudices; that is really selfish and cruel. Parents can be incredibly cruel, not only to other people's children but to their own children.
Things are not okay. Don't pretend that things are okay with these people when they're being jerks. You could get reborn as one of the kinds of people, including children, that they're disrespecting right now, and that's terrible. Things are not okay. Do not act like what they're doing is okay; it's not.
Jesus weeps.
People who were callous, insensitive bullies when times were better feel like they want to keep on being bullies when times get worse, too.
You can pray for children who are way worse off than you right now.
People of all ages deserve better. I'm sad that some people are acting like callous insensitive jerks at a time when more compassionate empathy is called for, and then they expect you to just celebrate their chauvinism? What is wrong with them? Dear God, really? It's like what they learned from their elders, their whole upbringing, has brought them to this?

I would like to be done learning this lesson now please.
I think the Angels should help me with my tooth now. Please. After all, I was a little kid once, happy in a swimming pool in the summer. It would be nice to have that kind of a summer experience again. I feel I've been quite neglected by medical misogyny as an adult. It's not been fun. Don't want this life to keep on being this way.
Maybe it would be good if people listened to Angels more.
Hey, if you want to commune with Angels, and like, my clumsy way of communicating is not doing it for you, and you need the Angels to help you, I encourage you, I really want you to go find your Angels and get some help. Please.
That's me, and maybe some angels did help me.
Also, if I picked myself up when I fell, if I helped myself when I was hurt, and I pulled myself out of a way thinking that made me think, "Oh gee, I now understand why Virginia Woolf walked into a pond with a bunch of stones in her pockets." That's me.
I'm not planning on repeating the behavior patterns of irresponsible patriarchal adults.
"But my parents taught me that imperialism is good for children."
"Well guess what? It's not. It's just selfish stuff that adults do. It's actually very bad for children."
Anyways, that's been my lived experience.
Yeah, they don't even say that, but it would be better than acting like imperialists.
"I've tried to think about those types of people but it just stresses me out too much and I can't handle it."
I'm going to ask for higher guidance to assist me.
I have to learn how to take better care of my health. My nervous system gets too stressed out by their stupid selfishness.
I don't believe these people.
Selfish people who say they want to live a simple life, but actually, they just act like they want to live a very prejudiced and bigoted life. It's banal. It's unbecoming. It's unflattering. It's going to be an embarrassment and be a weight on your grandchildren, if you have them. Figure it out.

But since you're here, why not be a better version of yourself? Don't contribute more to the problems by acting so insensitive, mean, shallow, callous, uncaring.
"A Mexican father was shot and killed by an ICE officer. His son is demanding an independent probe"
Creeps me out.
It's amazing how what some people think is best for them is just so bad for society, and for them, too, in the long term. You have to set boundaries with those people. They're like drug addicts. Maybe someday they'll get clean and sober and they'll be nicer people to be around, but until then, you are going to be affected by their influence. And maybe they have to make a decision to change, for themselves. When they want to. I actually wonder if they're being used by, like, bad energies or something. Bad energies or something like that are manipulating them, maybe.
Misuse of your tax dollars, materialistic and selfish people!
“Has a single deportation made your life better?” Ramos said. “Has one inhumane detention center improved your circumstances and conditions?

Don't age so sexistly and racistly. It's not good for your health.
Older people who carry their prejudices with them as they age just weigh young people down. They are not helpful and they are being very selfish.
Of course, it's not good to make generalizations.
But since journalists are asked to look at other people's lives and consider what they're going through, maybe they're more likely to be trustworthy than some other types of people in different occupations.
Oh where is this? A real place with real people?
"ICE raided their city, taking parents, spouses and friends. That’s not where it ends" | US immigration | The Guardian
I think this is a time when showing anger is appropriate.
And moreover, the people who are determined to be mean and racially insensitive and sexist and flaunt privilege at a time like this don't seem they would be very trustworthy or like they would be very kind people for most children to be around.
Cuz usually people who are kind for most children to be around are also nicer for most adults to be around, not just a select, small-minded, closed-hearted, insecure, mean little group that needs to exclude the ones who deserve much better right now.
And if I don't suck up to people, yes, it is partially out of my own self interest, but is also quite painful because maybe it'd be easier to just be a pushover and go along with them, but actually no, not for me, it's not easier for me. There's too much stuff that happened in my life for me to be like that.
And so if the supposedly more "privileged" ones have to be stubborn and mean to get through whatever they're getting through right now maybe they aren't that privileged after all. And they only have more in terms of materialistic things or perhaps they feel genetically superior. That's tragic to think that's the best you can do with your life.
But perhaps they'll find the people who speak to them in the ways that they want to hear and maybe that will help them. But I deserve better than to have to deal with the insensitive shallow people sucking the life out of me. And so do lots of others, including the children that are surviving trauma wrought upon them by the mean patriarchal white supremacy and the self-absorbed, uncaring adults who perpetuate it.
I guess I was just trying to have some fun, mystical experiences or something.
I will say that sometimes fun, mystical things still do seem attractive sometimes. So I'm sure that shadow work and journaling and reconnecting with nature and getting in touch with more by doing some somatic work and finding people who want to do deeper amounts of healing could all be really good.
It does seem like some people who are being so offensive had some pretty awful role models as parents.
They need to do the work!

Appalled, but I have to move on now.
Maybe the prejudiced parents can finally find the prejudiced parent party or group that truly satisfies them? Because I don't think they're ever truly satisfied.
Actually, I'm feeling kind of relieved.
I'm beginning to realize that not being in any strange living arrangements with any people who were trained to feel any need to act like cult leaders is quite the luxury.
Well, I really don't feel this way, but some people seem to.
"I'd rather be just as prejudiced as the people who raised me in a Patriarchal White Supremacy then not be a parent."
I am NOT interested in following that dictum. AT ALL.
No one expects you to fix medical misogyny either.
You just have to act like you care a little. Which is clearly the exact opposite of what the Patriarchal White Supremacy wanted you to do.
I think the world is filled with children that deserve better than that.
Sexist, complacent, racist adults, repeating the old ways, sometimes, of their sexist, racist, complacent parents.
Exactly how monstrous do you have to be to feel special and important?
And acting like all girls and women should just be baby makers for the sexist, shallow, insensitive dudes that they marry, and then not having any care about what's happening to so many of the girls and women right now on account of shallow, sexist men going along with the oppressive patriarchal beliefs?
Well I'm sure they had hard lives.
Those not so motherly mothers who worked at the daycare and would mutter their not so motherly prejudices. Ugh. It's as if they reincarnated and came back as you and now you're just like well. I'm quiet enough to keep my mouth zipped. But you're still emanating their f****** energy. It's disgusting, I don't like it, and I'm not going to pretend I like it because it's disgusting. So careless.
What did your grandma sing to you?
"Jesus only loves the richest children. He wants the richest children to stomp on all the other ones."
Is that what your grandma kept saying to you.
How old are you, really? What is your age right now? Like, how old are you emotionally?
Are you at some age when the elders taught you all of the worst prejudices and made you? Just believe you had to go along with it or you wouldn't be loved by them? Is that what happened.
I guess my grandma just saying that song to me too much when I was a kid affected my mind or something.
"Red and yellow, black and white. They are preciousness in sight. Jesus loves the little children of the world."
Thanks for the role modeling. What I don't want to be like has been made clearer to me.
You know who doesn't need more shallowness and complacency?
People of all ages including children who are going to survive the horrible conditions of concentration camps. That's who doesn't need your dumb b*******.
You should do a deeper dive into what your parents taught you was acceptable.
You treat women badly, and you have bad taste in men, too. Wait let me rephrase that. You seem to be attracted to replicating patterns of being misogynistic towards women, and you also seem to vibe best / feel most comfortable with men who are complacently existing in a sexist way. Is that better?
So unkind! So unbrotherly and unsisterly! I guess The Patriarchy must have really insisted upon it?
Unkindness is made to feel "normal" to chauvinistic people warped by patriarchal training. Parents are some of the worst offenders when it comes to replicating these old patterns! The banality of not giving a s*** about women and girls because some shallow men and women feel the most "loved" (pampered and comfortable) with that attitude? Seriously?
It is sad how this memory returns now, too.
Older white women working at a daycare in Washington State muttering in a prejudiced way about children who were *gasp* half black and half white! Right in front of the children. Yes, those women definitely sucked. They had their own kids, too!
This is adorable!! 😻

You can encourage them to love themselves more!
"But if I start being bigger-hearted and less of a bigot, than what if my friends don't love me as much?"
But not even all 2-year-olds act the same, you know?
Maybe they're just like 2-year-olds testing the boundaries.
What can you do for yourself to help break out of that confining mindset?
"The only reason why my friends and I are so incapable of showing more empathy is because we don't love themselves enough to be able to see what's going on with others."
Start loving yourself more!!! Things could get interesting.
I'm totally looking forward to your transition out of "Dehumanizing the circumstances of other human beings with my friends is my zone of comfort."
That's why you're mean; you don't love yourself enough.
Probably should love yourself more. You don't love yourself enough.
After all they're still trying to please the old system, I guess.
Maybe the immature mommies and daddies who don't seem to care very much about human rights for their own children, much less for other people's children, can be the last of their kind.

I'm very disappointed in the choices some people have made.
Really, they made their choices, which were very cruel. And discriminatory. And selfish. And sexist. They seem immature, almost like a part of them never grew up.
I feel like they might have made themselves more immature in order to fit in with a system that rewarded them for being more immature.
And now that the system is collapsing, what can you do? You cannot look to these people for any kind of inspiration or help whatsoever.
If they choose to continue on with their old ways, you can't.
What does that change look like for you?
Why don't you imagine not needing to be so mean, and such a tool of the systemic discrimination that the Patriarchy wants you to inflict in others, in order to have a fulfilling career?
Because they can now visualize so much more, and bigger, and and better.
"Shallow rich women and bigoted rich men will no longer be acting like sacrificing the well-being of others feels necessary to their existence. Just because they're so entranced with their favorite pampered by the Patriarchy white men, expensive toys, and the audience adulation that everyone who's serving the whims of patriarchal white supremacy so desperately seemingly needs in their lives, doesn't mean that's what you're going to be doing with your life."

I guess I have felt that way for a while.
Also, I feel like it's probably better to work with daughters than with certain dads who are constantly getting sucked into repeating their old patriarchal ways. Their daughters are usually better with cats.
Oops, the cat brought her energy into the room and now everything's shifting to cat content!

I think a song like "A Horse With No Name" by America would most inspire me to learn how to play a string instrument.

Anyways, Billy Joel was just breaking my heart in Walmart...
Where I found an Equate water flosser for twenty bucks. I have a feeling that my tooth might need an expensive repair that others don't want to perform because it's not going to be nice, and it's going to be expensive, and none of the insurance will cover it. But I'm not sure if being in denial about it is really going to be very helpful.
However, if I'm wrong and if this gets fixed because I'm able to clean it really well and eat garlic and things like that, then maybe that will teach me something about my body's capacity for self-healing. The problem is that it's got foreign objects in it now.
Grrrr. It's like a metaphor for what's going on. It's like a bunch of people are acting like they're in denial and hoping that things will just kind of magically fix themselves but I don't know. Maybe they will???Maybe if I do meditation and flower essences and eat garlic and just a bunch of other stuff...maybe???
I did get some great service today! They raised the bar. 😊🧁💜
So, I do think it's kind of fun to take photos of fancy food.
Ha-ha! Now please make it funny.
"How to let down the daughters and granddaughters as an underperforming dad who's just great at being averagely uncaring about what happens with their human rights, just like the Patriarchy wanted them to be."
This has humorous potential.
"Can you believe how repressed the spouses of the people in that industry were. Especially about their own f****** human rights. So naturally, they couldn't advocate for anyone who was less fortunate, because they couldn't even advocate for themselves."
Can I make a film on this topic?
The old guy dads are still terrible at talking about feminism, and now they're my age!
Don't say I didn't warn you.
If some of the stuff that people are doing today ends up looking extremely creepy and off-putting tomorrow.
I feel like a misanthrope sometimes.
Anyways, as someone who discovered how hot and sexy the smell of White Supremacy can be just by traveling to a South American country back when I was in a single digit size female body...
You know what some people sometimes remind me of
They remind me of how my stepfather liked to buy me cute clothes / dresses when I was a teenager and we'd go to brunch at the Officers Club and he'd say things like, "I noticed the old men looking at you, and if they do more than look, then I'm going to do something about it." And, " You're very pretty and you have nice legs, but you have to learn that you can't rely on looks to keep people around," or something like that.
I wonder if any colleges will offer a major in southern cult-mentality studies.
And how that culty way of thinking affected our society under the governance of Donald Trump.
The cults were everywhere...
Fayetteville, North Carolina!
"Diamond and Silk" - Wikipedia
You're disrespecting the people who feed you and clothe you.
And immigrants feed you and clothe you, not your favorite cult leader white guy, or other type of cult leaders who are not always white guys, but are still working within the old White Supremacist Patriarchal Principles.
Of course I should go take a walk now, for my mental health's sake.
It's like he's our Entertainment Industry President. He's just showing off what happens when a lot of the Cult of Patriarchy stuff that people in the entertainment industry have been perpetuating for years gets out of hand. It really hurts and oppresses people, for real. The sexism is real. The racism is real. The discrimination is real. The oppression is real. How alarming it is. Really? Really.
And that's a sad thing to be grateful for, but there it is.
I'm still so much better off than somebody who would have had all these same problems, and on top of it, gotten locked away in a detention center by some corrupt, selfish, money-obsessed ICE agents.
Focus!
Number one: I literally would have been treated so much better if I had been born into a boy's body.
Number two: I literally would have been treated so much better if I had been born into a girl's body that just had a different type of genetics.
Number three...
Actually, looking at permaculture principles is probably a great place to start.
"Permaculture Ethics - Earth Care • People Care • Fair Share"
People should try harder to be more ethical and friendship-based and balanced, instead of going along with the old ways of following the Patriarchal patterns when they're doing things.
I feel hurt by coldness and Cult Dynamics and Patriarchal Culture and Sexism.
In addition to feeling hurt, I literally have more physical symptoms now that are unpleasant and apparently difficult to fix. Patriarchal cults are not good for us. But they are particularly worse for someone like me than they are for certain other kinds of people. And to me, it feels like that has been made very, very, very clear.
What a time to be a sentient human!

So, it feels like the era of selfishness is coming to an end.

Something about the nerves and muscles of the lower back area, and how it's important to pay attention to them.
The consciousness of a 15-year-old girl is significant.
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.

Ugh. They should never be in charge of things.
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.
I just have to figure out how to put the health of my body first.
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 have to do Shadow work because I want to heal.
I want to heal but I have to do Shadow work.

I'll talk about it when I'm older. Something to look forward to!
There was this one day, when I had this really nice time...
God, human beings in a Patriarchal White Supremacist Society can be so terrible to other human beings.
"Here’s how much ICE detainees pay for 5 everyday items" - The Washington Post
Suppressing the musical ones, too???
"Family, lawmakers call for mariachi detained by ICE to be released"
It's so much work to have an enjoyable life or even just a tolerable one in this unwell White Supremacist Patriarchal Society.
It really is a lot of work, especially when you get the kind of genetics that make it a lot of work.
Anyways, it's kind of like those girls on the street were saying the other night.
F*** England, f*** Queen Elizabeth, f*** Oasis, f*** The Beatles, and Viva Mexico, cabrones.
Craziness...Absolutely bonkers.
Still being fed and clothed by The Patriarchy's persecuted people today! And yourself? Oh well, this is quite obvious!
Anyways, it's cool that you're a good jewelry maker.
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.
It's so disappointing because I like mashed potatoes, too.
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.
Why do you and them need to hold onto those old misogynistic mindsets just to survive in the system?
"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."
Just so a few can be placed on pedestals? Really?
And all of the women and girls being mistreated and abandoned by this awful patriarchal society deserve so much better!
I guess it's better to know, but it hurts.
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.
What era is this.
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!
Naturally the Cult hates thinking about things like that. Or talking about or acknowledging them or acting like they are real human beings..
Immigrants are still feeding and clothing you anyways!
I know it's hard to do. I can tell...
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!
Bless the persecuted people. And act like they are actual real human beings for a change. Have a heart!
After all, the immigrants are still feeding and clothing you and your very special set genetics if you're not starving or naked.
How can they be so cruel and indifferent?
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.
Oh must it really be this way?
"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!"
As I worry about my own health issues, and being distracted by my thoughts about artists.
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?

I should look up gardening pictures again.
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.
Maybe I was supposed to develop a keen appreciation for the ones our society has considered mad women in this life.
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.
Everything's a gift!
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 think I'll do some work in the kitchen and listen to this.
"Feeling Exhausted? Receive Only What’s Yours | Light Language Transmission"
joannecary
Is that too much to ask?
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.
The Patriarchy has to go. It's bad for human 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 saw a license plate holder that said "Easily distracted by the moon" with the moon phases on it.
I thought "I feel like the Nine of Swords tarot card is my life right now."
Another reason I'm glad about feminism becoming more prevalent is because it's raising the bar for humanity.
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.
I bought a fizzy drink with magnesium in it.
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.
I also know my illness seems very minor compared to the things other people are going through.
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.
It's not fixing everything, but more feminism still makes life better for some of us.
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.
It's fun to talk like this sometimes.
She said ol (for oil.)
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.

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!
Of course this won't really fix any of your problems, but...
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!
They are all funny in different ways.

What did he say? He said that Tony is in her SECOND YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL!
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.
Delicious heaping mounds of mashed potatoes. Yum!
That must be what consuming Patriarchal White Supremacy feels like to some people, eh?
Ugh, the putting down of women that feels so normal and funny to the Patriarchy!
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!"

I am putting big chunks of garlic into Greek lemon chicken soup.
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.
He was trying to be funny...
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 would like to be lucky instead, but I don't know if I am right now.
I'm afraid I'm going to have to push harder and get other opinions about my tooth issue. I'm afraid it's actually worse than diagnosed and that I did not get the right diagnosis today.

Maybe I got lucky this time.
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.
Yes, I will watch this again. It is good!

Wow, what if I were a rich white guy who had been shaped by the values of a society built on patriarchal white supremacy and people were constantly compelled to favor me above others and to act like insensitive jerks towards the less fortunate just to survive living in my orbit?
Sunday, July 05, 2026
It's good to gradually change.
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.
I think I'll work on finishing several books and watch this later.
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 another group of people were crossing the street towards me, and one of the girls shouted:

Not the first time I've had that thought.
There should probably be more songs out there about how the "sensitive" men have done some young women wrong.
Never mind. I will think judgeler thoughts now. I mean gentler ones.

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?"
