Unfortunately, some people do not like to talk about some things.
But then sometimes, if you bring a man along, it changes the dynamics. So that's really weird!

I feel a little bit like a dog.
With a good sniffer that's not appreciated.
And also like this time when I was young and my family went to see a dog at a no kill shelter that they wanted to give away because my mother didn't want to take care of the dog because she just didn't like her. She had a lot of health problems and my mother just didn't really like her. But we went to see her and she was like, hey, all happy to see us and then it didn't take very long for her to just be like, yeah, well I know you guys are going to leave anyway, so I'm kind of bored of you, so why don't you just go. Sigh! It was interesting to see that attitude in an animal.
Gee, what a show off!

Cults or not cults?
I have a curiosity about churches sometimes, but I don't really act on it, and I do not always enjoy the whole idea of people following the pastor of a church, almost as if maybe there could be a cultish thing going on, but I was told yesterday that sometimes online services at these two places are interesting.

https://youtube.com/@agapespiritualcenter?si=IDJswZmfydtspeOB
However, she said that services went down at the latter after the pastor and his wife, who was a musician, got divorced, and the attendance never recovered after COVID hit, but maybe that's a little gossipy.
Children's book author that I think was perhaps suggested to me recently.

https://www.npr.org/2021/10/14/1045981769/gary-paulsen-hatchet-author-obituary
She said do you know Gary or Paul and I said no, but for some reason that makes me think of Gary Paulsen, and she said, they said author. So I'm like okay, maybe it's Gary Paulsen.
Remember when the internet didn't even exist?
It's kind of fun to read this book right now because people who were the age of our parents (some of us) knew all of these films and actors that I have to keep looking up online.
I was sitting by young people who were old enough to drink on a date and the young man was telling the girl his mother gets hot flashes. Just thought of this album, which I don't have.

Manifesting in all kinds of different ways.
I think bad things are happening because people are just real control freaks when they have unresolved trauma.
Maybe the universe can help me.
Instead of thinking about how much more I would have been listened to in this life if I had been born in a different kind of body, and feeling pain in that body, I would like to go out in my cute sundress with my cardigan and enjoy a book and a drink.

The Divine Mother thinks we should do things that make us feel good and not just do them for the money, and we don't have to talk to some people if we don't feel like it. Also the Divine Mother was like telling my spiritual friend's psychic friend to think about other things, too, like "Margaret Fragoso." Apparently when she disappeared when I came around it was because something was telling her to go in her room and start writing.

Lucy! ❤️ In The Sky With Diamonds 💎
I got happy happy feelings tonight! Someone very sensitive and psychic was very happy to give me some new things to think about!
Some messages from the friend of my friend who apparently can tune into some things. She said she's been writing a lot when I come around to visit.
This morning she wrote:
Burns Forest Fell
and
Answers answers answers.
She thought it was about a character in the Simpsons. Today she was Lucy in The Sims game. She moved in here 2 years ago in August. She's been Lucy in The Sims game for a while or something.
She fell, like off a cliff, and was not killed by a bear but was dead for 6 hours and then a bear found the body. Most of her bones washed away to a watery place. Only some big bones she called the brontosaurus bones like the big bones of the thigh are in the original place. They are not reachable; ppl would have to go there by helicopter.
Searchers walked by them. She said there were 92 in the search party because one of the search party was smoking pot and letting the dogs do all the work.
She wrote down the children's names a few months ago. Spelling the names correctly.
She said her husband looked like Burt Reynolds when he was young.
She's been hanging around my friend's friend for years and my friend is relieved to finally have this off her back, and she said sorry not sorry!
She said, she goes the smoking didn't kill me, and slaps her knees.

Overjoyed, thank you.
Don't do things for the money. Do things that feel good.
Here's another thing that I find pretty hilarious.
I'm pretty sure that I was really into reading spiritual stuff at an early age, way before most people and I had no idea that all of these weird things were going to happen that were going to completely mess around with my sense of equanimity, like as if I'm some sort of wounded wild creature that can be poked and disturbed easily after having escaped a traumatizing environment. I think that there were a lot of times in my childhood when I didn't seem especially traumatized and it's because I didn't know what was happening. Finding out what was happening later completely messed up my inner child. But anyways, the middle of life can be a good time to integrate and begin new things.
This could be a fun prompt for shadow work if you've got a certain sense of fun about it.
So what kind of compromises in relationships? Did a father-in-law Spirit have difficulty making?
Perhaps it's just a a shadow work setting boundaries type of summer, but it will ultimately be for the good beneficial reasons!
I'm kind of sorry that I don't seem more peaceful sometimes. Like when I hang out with a spiritual friend and it's just real easy to be peaceful then but I don't know what to say. This is just the way it is right now. Peace as possible!
And I might not be very motivated to get more skinny.
Does a more shallow and untenable lifestyle come along with it???
But now back to Shadow Work. Yippee!
As I switch from Naughty By Nature being down with O.P.P. to Bea Wain singing about how she's Nobody's Baby, can I just say how exasperated I am and how much I wish I was living about 300 years into a more feminist future and how this is why sometimes I just scroll and scroll on Instagram because that's the only place I ever seem to find any feminist content. Like every time I turn on the radio it seems like the majority of the DJ's jobs is to just talk about how great male musicians are. Really. That seems like 95% of their job.
I feel disappointed with women in my generation sometimes. Kind of like I was disappointed way back when people at a baby shower were talking about how awful it is to raise girl babies and girl children and they liked talking like that. They had fun talking like that. They enjoyed putting down children. These were women with deep internalized misogyny issues. But anyways, with all the enjoyment they had talking about putting down girl babies, no wonder they didn't have a whole lot of energy left to see how complicated the whole reproduction issue is across the board with a wide variety of women because they're not taught to see that they're just taught to brag about themselves, probably at the expense of a lot of children actually. These women are the mothers of the children who now have fewer reproductive rights then they had. In some cases, people's daughters have been abducted this summer. I mean all kinds of people have been abducted, not just daughters. But really, I thought that we would be better than this. So I'm mad. Even though I am happy with some progress that has been made in society, I'm still mad. And that's the shadow side!
Tune in later for more Shadowy Stuff!
Also, I can't believe how not that long ago some people were actually yelling at each other about saying things like something looks shady is too much hey you know what looks shady ice agents look shady ice agents kidnapping people looking shady shady shady shady shady and putting them in concentration camps this summer huh this summer alright get a grip.
Now is a better time to appreciate flowers!
People are like flowers too, sometimes!
And a hematite stone for grounding. Because this is kind of like the summer of shadow work.
I did finish my donuts and it wasn't as healthy as blueberries but I felt it had to be done.
Okay, so I just had to say that as I was leaving the donut shop there was a brown-skinned person talking to himself. He seemed kind of homeless and schizophrenic and I did not go over and try to help him because as a woman I sometimes do not feel very safe with men who are not mentally well.
But then it's kind of like the universe gave me two gifts. One gift was another brown skinned man came by and honestly just from the way he was dressed and acting I think he was gay and he came up and was talking to the other brown skinned man and I thought maybe he's trying to help him.
And then as I was leaving the parking lot, there was this big crowd of cars and a car stopped for me and the brown-skinned guy driving it waved me in. Like being a nice guy, waving me in, wanting me to go in front of him, like a nice guy.
So who knows. Maybe I'm not such a b****, huh.
Your story matters, it's just that other stories matter, too.
If someone else always has to water the bush while you're singing songs to it, then I mean maybe it's time for a little switcheroo.
Anyways, when your "different from you" daughter or granddaughter is suffering from the stuff that you're still choosing to remain ignorant about.
Your "halfway to Proud Boys" literature is not going to be helping.
What is your $ money $ doing?
Should you eat a big grown-up lemon powdered donut and a big grown up raspberry jelly donut and two little baby donuts with sprinkles.
Instead of a bunch of nice, healthy blueberries...
Just because you're lucky enough to not be suffering from tuberculosis in a Detention Center paid for by YOUR tax dollars at the moment?
Are you special enough to catch a cold?
You might be special enough to catch tuberculosis someday, if you're locked in a concentration camp.
Sadly, tuberculosis took Thoreau's life at the age of 44, or something like that.

I think processing the information that's coming up and being more articulate about certain topics could help a lot of people!
After all, who suffers the most when the people who were treated best by an imbalanced patriarchal society are being distressingly inarticulate?
Being articulate doesn't mean you have to agree exactly on everything right?
That would be like cult mentality thinking.
For example, one could say "I find that point of view to be distressing or too dogmatic because..."
"I can see why you would think that way. However, I still prefer to think in a different way about it, because..."
🤔
And a lot more children will be a lot more happy and they'll have better memories when they grow up of how Our Society treated them.
The country and our society needs to get A LOT better.
People deserve better.
The kinds of situations that happen when abuse gets covered up in families play out again and again in other areas of life, and when people are just fine with acting complacent about it, they are not going to step up and change very much, are they?
Sometimes life is not beautiful.
'How do we explain ICE to our children?"| Opinion
https://www.pressherald.com/2026/08/08/how-do-we-explain-ice-to-our-children-opinion/
"Amal, age 6, and her 2-year-old sister have been distraught ever since their father was taken by ICE. They cry at length in the morning because their father was the one who made them breakfast and at bedtime because he was the one who tucked them in.
She tells me that Amal woke up that night, the terrible night he was taken. She heard her parents calling back and forth to each other from their apartment to the street below. She got out of bed and looked out the window. There, she told her mother, she saw her father on the sidewalk crying, surrounded by strange men. She saw him forced into a car and driven away.
Her mother tried to protect her, trying to turn the trauma into a palatable story. “Those are just friends of his,” she said. “He is going with them to do paperwork.”
But a 6-year-old puts the pieces together.
Amal looked at her mother and said, “No, those are NOT his friends. I have never seen them before. I KNOW his friends. And he was CRYING. I saw him crying! Those guys TOOK him. I saw them push him into a white car. Our car is black.”
The mother’s instinct to relabel the horror reminded me of the film “Life is Beautiful,” in which a father uses his boundless imagination to try to shield his young son from the horrors of the concentration camp they are in by pretending it’s all an elaborate game. But except in movies, illusions like these fall apart quickly."

RIP Special Racccon.
The raccoon had a crushed leg, and that probably came from some kind of big impact to the leg, and it wasn't anything like our cat would have done to it. Cats usually just stare, or that's what our cat does if it comes to raccoons. So it probably just came to our yard seeking some safety after the injury happened. Poor little juvenile raccoon.
Perhaps it would have gotten euthanized quicker if it had gone back to the animal control facility after all, but I don't know. (It was apparently euthanized by a vet at the animal rescue place the next day.) Anyways, learned a lot from the little injured raccoon.

I would like to ask the universe to show me some more of this evidence very soon.
Is there more evidence of creative people who actively want to change things enough so that they don't seem to think that you have to act like a narcissist in order to fit in with some other narcissists? I guess if I want to find it, that means it is out there, so I should look for it.
Practical? Really?
"The practical advice Greta Lee would like to pass on..."
https://www.reddit.com/r/popculturechat/s/yizNzFzWaF
I personally don't find this to be very practical advice, considering all the people who are getting kidnapped by masked men these days.
It's like saying, do you really think you're special enough to have an act of violence happen to you? Yes, lots of people are special enough to have had acts of violence happen against them, so I don't think that this advice would work very well with a lot of people.
But I guess if it worked for her mom, it worked for her.
"Great men of history"
"France’s complex picture of collaborating with and combating Nazis"
"You editorial (The Guardian view on French cinema’s De Gaulle moment: present anxieties inform a new focus on the past, 5 August) informs us that some new French films covering the second world war are coming soon. Its focus suggested that most of these films will be of a “great men of history” kind. Whatever dilemmas faced leaders in this period, it was the grandparents and great-grandparents of the majority of cinemagoers who faced life-or-death choices and, in some cases, held the lives of their neighbours in their hands."
Here's a little something in progress for when I learn a few more chords.
Oh sometimes I get frustrated and I feel like you just don't see what's going on
But then I have a dream to fall back on
The dream told me that you're in the kidnappers basement
Yes, you're already in the kidnapper's basement
And you're just trying to make your way as best as you can
Because in your head you're already in the kidnappers basement
That dream really helped me.
Sometimes things get better in the next life.
I got sad news that the raccoon we rescued had to be euthanized but I am still glad we were able to take it to the rescue and tried to give the creature all the options.
Take care of your health.
If your body doesn't want you to be a myopic person who doesn't have any sensitivity about what's happening to others, don't try force yourself to fit in with those kinds of people, because your health will suffer. They don't have that wiring. You will suffer because of trying to go along with them, and they will say "that's not my fault," and no good will come out of it.

The Prodigy - "Firestarter (Official Video)"
Doing things that are in alignment with what you're supposed to be doing feels good.
It's funny but this morning I get this image that if I try to go mingle or sit with certain people, there are things that will get in the way of that happening. But if I think of going to a quiet corner with a comfy chair and a table in front of me and having space to myself to either think or read or write, that's what seems to be most in alignment for me right now.
I really enjoyed this movie when it came out, but I barely remember it now.

I felt like it was more feminist or empowering or something than the other fairy tale kinds of films I had watched.
Patriarchal people need to get inspired to get well.
Instead of being traumatized by being manipulated and then becoming control freaks like something they used to do in another century or something. Well, sadly, just take a look around you now.

Things will be more fun in the future!
It's just that there's still some stuff that needs to be worked out right now.

Sooo tired...
And need sleep. I feel like this day was long even though I chose to do what I chose to do, so I did have freedom, in that sense. My body is going through some stuff and needs me to be wiser and healthier. If I do the wrong thing, a lot of uncomfortable and painful things start flaring up.
I want to feel like my front tooth (with a crown in post and almost no real tooth left under it but just a bit) is normal again someday. If any hard thing like a crispy cracker accidentally comes into contact with it, it wiggles and it feels too weird. So I'm afraid it's going to need to have extensive work done on it in the future.
Stuff that's like a big game and fun for other people is just too exhausting for me to deal with sometimes. People resist change because they like the way things are, but they don't want to see that the way things are have become very unbearable for other people.
So I heard some music by Earth to Eve today...

"So if you ever wondered how people would behave..."
I like it when things are chill.
Maybe I can change and be more chill. How funny to seem more chill to some people already but always more stressed out to others.
Just a little chill recreation until the traffic gets better.
Well, it's very hot out there.
I'm going to look for cool spaces and avoid rush hour traffic. But, however enervating today may feel, perhaps tomorrow will be better...

Please?
Maybe the Patriarchal Society needs to learn that women are complex and they have complicated personalities and emotions and they don't always please people all the time, because women are trained from a very early again this society that they're supposed to be nice and smile. And to please people.
Someone's washing a big watermelon behind their truck.
I wonder why. Is it promoting a farm that grows watermelons, or something?
I used to be happy if there wasn't a noisy soccer game near me when I went to the park.
Because the park was where I went to get back in touch with nature and escape my apartment complexes which didn't have back yards. And now, I'm like, it's stupid that the soccer fields are emptier because of immigrants being persecuted all the f****** time.
Eating lunch at a park can be an outing.
I feel like fewer immigrants come to this park now because when I used to live in this area and I came to this park more often, I would sit under trees and sometimes I would read a book or eat some food here, and then one time I found the leftovers of someone's food all over the ground and I was not happy about it and I tried to stay away from it but I constantly think about that. For some reason. There was like leftover rice on the ground, and it felt like people who were displaced more and outsiders to society more used to come to this park and eat here more, too.
It's a sad kind of feeling to process about the life that's unfolding right now. Even the soccer fields at this park seem emptier than they used to be.
I feel like there is a perception amongst some of us that aspects of this culture are still too aligned with white supremacy and they make some people act like some people who go missing are not as important as others and it's very sad.
Today is sort of like a strange anniversary.
I found myself at a park where I hung out with a friend who was visiting a number of years ago. We drank pamplemousse sparkling water in cans. The strangeness of the anniversary is that it is the day her mother went missing.

Maybe I'm supposed to remember this because it affected me at the time and I was far away and distant and I went through my own emotional ups and downs and cried tears and got exhausted. But now there are people going missing for other reasons...It could happen!
Maybe some people will start to see why bullying really isn't their highest form of creative expression. It's not the best they could do.
Very very very damaged people.

I like these! Poems that were birthed when I was still a small child.
