James Dean's character in East of Eden is why white guys as boyfriends are so suspicious but white girlfriends are not as bad. Although, I thought the white girlfriend character in that film was kind of an airhead about some stuff too.
Of course it was good for my mental health that I was able to get out and enjoy some nature yesterday.
Well, in addition to seeing who actually feeds you and your friends, I also want to know when are you going to find yourself some people who don't constantly act like only the ones who checked off those certain boxes that made them seem more acceptable to the unwell patriarchy (and better at holding up the oppressive patriarchal white supremacist systems) also matter.
"What Don McLean’s Daughter Has Said About Emotional Abuse as Singer Cuts Inheritance" - Newsweek
Dear Daddy, we're so sorry you didn't get the blue confetti to pop out of your pinata at your special party.
Have you seen how many gender reveal parties turn into "girl children are garbage" baby shower showers??? This is the 21st century!!! Usually it's an immature dad throwing a fit because he didn't get the blue confetti to pop out of his pinata or whatever.
But that was back then. So, what are we doing now???
And then the rest of the country is just supposed to be like, I don't know, treated like some garbage throwaway humans that don't need adequate healthcare and human rights because they're the ones the rich parents don't have to care about? Is that really the most ideal solution???
Oh come on. I know lots of parents like to party on and stuff, like they were still teenagers. Maybe that's why some of them want to make more teenagers into parents? Perhaps.
How can we tell? That they care about human rights and healthcare for children.
How can children tell? That they care about human rights and healthcare for them.
How can they tell that you care about that sort of thing, at all, whatsoever?
There must be a lot of abortionless, miscarriageless parents out there. Either that, or else they're just masquerading. Some parents can be very naive and presumptuous when it comes to expecting their children will have the exact same experiences with their genetics and all that sort of thing.
Hope they got a Rich Daddy to help them out.

"The Pearl (novella)" - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pearl_(novella)
Look, it's a story they can read, and a white guy who was a dad even wrote it! A Literary Canon author.
Can you imagine living in a society that wasn't such a Patriarchal White Supremacy and actually respected more kinds of human beings and their bodies and their life situations and things like that?
It's called Alka-Thyme. The Edgar Cayce mouthwash that was recommended to me is out of stock, so I ordered that. Because it's apparently very similar.
My front tooth doesn't. Because ever since the crown got a little bit loose when I bit my finger a few weeks ago, sometimes there's bacteria that gets under it and it does not smell good and I have to use the water flosser on it and I don't like it but then for some reason sometimes it gets better, but it doesn't seem to be getting all that much better right away. It's not a situation that should be lived with for a very long time, I don't think, if it doesn't get significantly better.
Reading about it now.
'The Pearl (novella)"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pearl_(novella)
"While the story is presented as a fable with a simple moral at the end, seemingly to warn readers of being greedy or defying the gods by trying to change their station, the underlying message is a critique of the systemic economic and societal disparity between the indigenous community of which Kino and Juana are a part and the wealthier colonial settlers of the fictional La Paz, the neighboring city in Baja Mexico. Steinbeck portrays Kino and Juana as eager to gain access to the medicine and education of the colonial population after getting rejected by the local Doctor. Once they find the pearl, they are willing to take great risks to give Coyotito access so that he might improve his station and gain knowledge from the world beyond their indigenous traditions. However, throughout the story, we see that the people in power in the city of plaster are well-placed to maintain their position of wealth and power by lying and conspiring against Kino and Juana when they come to the city to sell the pearl."
Not like I could make these if I was in a concentration camp right now though, probably, huh.

Let's not feel like the ugly ancestors who are controlling your actions want to violate and do more harm than they have already done.
Most people who cater to the masses are monsters, like whatever their God of Destruction commands them to do is their main source of motivation to go on living.
I like the idea of children not having to deal with the dumb bullshit the servants of the Patriarchy still pull constantly.
Unless it's a date with yourself to heal from your addiction to whatever the monstrous men taught you to do to others and stop dicking people over.
Shallowness and selfishness has driven many to a much earlier than necessary death, I'm certain.
Tell me when the spoiled selfish rich women and the ugly men they were trained to fawn over so much stop acting like agents of rape culture and genocide and cruelty.

I ate some food I made by myself again, and in the next room, during the one day off a week that he has, the man is doing work anyways, and we're supposed to go to the forest, but we'll see when that actually happens...

It seems that being privileged enough to get on a plane to go to a concert did not prevent that from happening.
I'm sure there's plenty of non-white ICE agents who are willingly accepting some form of payment in exchange for dehumanizing people too.

Instead of begging to have her basic needs acknowledged!
I found it very nice and soothing to listen to.
Just wait until a bunch of kids who are currently being severely impacted by this stuff grow up.
I think the reporter has a nice name too: Arielle Mitropoulos.
"Maria Rosales, 32, was detained by ICE agents at Logan Airport last Friday, after coming to Boston from Miami to attend the Noah Kahan concert at Fenway Park, her attorney said on Thursday.
In a sworn affidavit obtained by NewsCenter 5, Rosales described the conditions as "tough," writing that there are days that she has not been allowed to shower or change her clothes.
"There were nights we had 8 girls to a room, the room is extremely hot with all those bodies in a tiny cell," Rosales said. "We have to beg for water and when we ask for several[,] they limit [us.]"
Rosales was brought to the United States at the age of 4 from Colombia, but grew up in Miami, according to her attorney, Todd Pomerleau. She was also a recipient of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or the DACA program, Pomerleau said, an Obama-era immigration policy that allows young people, who were brought to the United States as children, temporary protection from deportation.
An ICE database does not detail where Rosales is currently being held, stating that those inquiring about her whereabouts should, "call ICE for details." However, Pomerleau said that she has been in Burlington in the days following her arrest.
"The food is inedible. Some of the girls here refuse to eat because the food is vile, and they couldn't stomach it," Rosales wrote. "There have been days where we ask for food several times[,] but they feed us at their convenience."

It's time for me and a wounded tooth that I still have to clean regularly to deal with the immensely uncaring culture of toxic patriarchal white supremacy and whatever it's many adherents are still putting out there. Something that will make them plenty of money. Something that will make toxic patriarchal white supremacy feel a little more happy, to still be around for a little while longer.

My focus is on my health. I'm not fun. I'm not romantic. I'm not interested in success. I'm not interested in making money. I'm going to just focus on my health and it'll be better that way. I have a cat and I have the ability to make choices that will hopefully result in a better state of health and well-being.
I have to choose a different way because my health is breaking down again. The tooth that seemed like it was getting better now seems not as good again. I had a pain in my side. I did the castor oil pack stuff and I just focused on more healing. My cat is here and she has healing energy. I have to get in my car and drive to an appointment that's not very close. It's for evaluating which supplements my body needs. And that's all I can manage right now.
I have weird stuff going on with my body. I have to do some healing processes on myself so I can go to an appointment later today. Which is also about trying to take care of my body. And none of it is covered by insurance.

Well I guess I know that if I had money and land it wouldn't necessarily fix all my problems.
Heal your stuff more before you start messing around with people. Ask for some clues. Ask for some help. Ask the universe. Not just people. Sometimes people don't know how to help you. Maybe nature will help more. Stare at a leaf and zone out. Which might actually be more like tuning in. Get some guidance.
It's been, like, so much silliness.
Some of the silliness has been really toxic.
Maybe get rid of some of the toxic silliness; that would be better.
If you were a certain way in another life, in a different century, you're going to have to reincarnate again in another body and learn new lessons and figure out how to do things better and treat yourself better the next time.
I guess we should just acknowledge and celebrate the estrangement. That's what's going on.
You need to figure out what you learned from the male and female role models you have had in this life because it's given you so many problems. Creative projects? Maybe that will help...
They are on drugs. Who needs to be sexy? With someone who's gonna disrespect you so much. Who needs to get on their wavelength? With friends like that. They are in a dark place. They are in a cult. They need to keep on believing in lies just to keep on doing what they're doing. They're not free. Maybe they can be more free soon.
I suppose they felt abandoned in the past and now they're desperate not to feel that abandoned ever again and that's why they have also abandoned others.
You guys abandon the people who are different from you. What are they supposed to do? How are they supposed to act nice enough for you? They cannot do it. It is literally impossible for them to act nice enough for you to treat them better.

It's not anything we noticed but until after we moved in because who lives in a place with a bathtub that's partially unsanded who checks for that. Also, I felt this weird thing like a burn or a bite earlier today and I'm hoping that I'm not having some kind of reaction to a bug biting me, but I think it's from the swimming. This is life in a body. Why did we come here? Why are we in a body? Why? Why? Why? Why?

You know, I think it was a good thing that I was watching documentaries the other night.
I should look up stuff about Lynch's Inland Empire movie again.
Apparently there's a lot of human trafficking that goes on in the Inland Empire. Because these freeways here connect to so many other places.

I just should have felt able to cry and whine more instead of feeling like I had to chew on a finger and damage my teeth.
Maybe people should make lists of nice things that they can do for themselves and how it's helped them feel better everyday.
Physical pain because my muscles hurt. Emotional pain because I'm sad about damaged dental work. And people not communicating well and people not healing very quickly from things they could have been healing from sooner. Because instead, they're just still finding coping mechanisms instead of like actually trying harder to heal. I don't know. There's a lot to cry about. Maybe it's just a crying time.
Special needs tooth will need more work on it in the future. I can tell. There are still symptoms.
My shoulders and arms are very sore. That's what happens when you don't go swimming for a long time and then do a lot of laps. Even though they were leisurely ones.
David Lynch said people shouldn't rush things, and he was a great and honored director of films.
What if the universe just wanted to say that there's not been enough songs about father-in-laws?

I have herbs on hand.
I'm going to try to roll my own herbal cigarettes.

Siiiiigh.
I have to stop being a housewife soon. It's not all it's cracked up to be. Talking about getting tickets and going to a concert gets stressful. I offered to pay for it with money in a savings account but...the feeling of irritation persists.
Maybe we could read Rilla of Ingleside, and how, as a teenager, she adopts an almost orphan baby? Almost an orphan because the baby still has a father, but he is away, fighting in the war.
"I feel like Rilla of Ingleside is one of the best books I've experienced in my life"
"Good day sunshine, white people feel fine, white people's music is more important than your basic human rights.... Ugh! This is so degrading."
Perhaps not:
"Hey, do you think you're going to have any friends or family members of yours locked away in one of the detention centers before this is over?"
Probably not:
"Hey do you think any of your friends are going to get unjustly killed just by being pulled over in a traffic stop? What if they have little kids?"
How should I have a conversation like this with somebody and not have them shut me down?
I got in the pool again for the first time in a couple years.
The lifeguards were playing '80s music. "Take My Breath Away..."
After my swimming laps experience, I'm calling this swimsuit "crotch goblin." I think it's better for the hot tub. But I still like it.
I told myself I'd be fine if I did ten laps. But it felt like my body was saying just one more. Just one more. I missed swimming! I think I did more like thirty. Granted, these were leisurely laps. Some of them involved just holding on to the kickboard and kicking across the pool. Lots of side stroke. Lots of backstroke. I was there for more than an hour and a half. When I finally decided to stop. I swam over to the ladder and I was glad that I did because as I got out of the pool, the exhaustion hit. I have not felt that way after swimming in quite a long time.
It's a pool that was used in the Olympic trials and when I left, I smiled as I passed the scoreboard and looked at the name "M. Phelps." Because I remembered the friend I made in graduate school who said he liked to swim in a leisurely way, and how a fellow swimming class student had yelled at him, "Go Michael Phelps!" That always makes me think of somebody swimming in a leisurely fashion and not caring what other people think, ha-ha.
Now I have to de-stress because I started thinking about the conversation I had with a friend who never wants to think about the ICE raids. I wanted to chew on a finger and I slightly did. Because I still feel incredibly upset when I think about how that whole thing went. I don't understand why she had to shut it down like that. But I understand shutting down the conversation if somebody's saying I'm getting overwhelmed and I'll need to talk about it later. I understand that. I understand that sometimes you need to end those conversations. But the way it happened felt really brutal.
These are some intense times to be living in.
