We're very flaky over here. I entered a contest to get concert tickets on a Sunday but it turns out that Sunday is going to be a work day this week but Saturday is not going to be this week so maybe later. I will figure out if we will go somewhere on Saturday or not because now the mood is better and maybe we could go on Saturday is what some people are saying.

It seems so illogical.
Every year people sadly commemorate the tragedy when a bunch of kids got killed in a helicopter crash. No, I'm sorry they don't do that every year. People sadly commemorate the time when their favorite girl dad who raped a 19-year-old hotel worker, but he was the top performer in his chosen field, and he was the best of the best at that, but he just wasn't good at not raping 19-year-old girls, and celebrity culture can be so insidious that he can command a helicopter to fly when it shouldn't be flying in bad weather, and put a bunch of children on it, and they got killed in the helicopter crash, too, but anyway...
It's kind of harsh, but it's also true.
It's very, very messed up, but not all brains are equally designed to go along with whatever the dominant culture is doing just to milk it for all it's worth.
Mistake, or not really?

Trauma! How inconvenient can it be to experience in a Patriarchal Society that has been constructed like this one?
So, not only does it feel inconvenient that the Patriarchal Culture raises people to act like hating certain kinds of girls and women is what feels completely normal to them, but also, it's the particularly traumatized types of girls and women that some of you guys, sorry, I mean, those Patriarchal People, act like you, oops, I mean they, hate the most, that makes it such an enervating experience to process sometimes.
How much progress have we actually made as a society?

I guess the fact that people usually aren't as openly racist and misogynistic as the characters are in a book that was set in a very prejudiced little southern town in the 1940s shows we've made some progress.
Such a different story from Anne Frank's, huh?
I wonder how much the guy Bette Greene saved in real life resembled the character in her novel. And she is gone now, so the time to ask her questions as a human being by having a face-to-face conversation has passed.

I wish more parents had not been convinced by the Patriarchal Culture to go along with misogynistic practices.
I'm glad that the mom I met in the laundry room with a 4-month-old daughter seemed very nice, because in addition to her new daughter, she also has a son who is several years older, and who needs another older brother being trained by his parents that boys should act superior and that trying to fit in with a cult of misogynistic abusive behavior patterns is just a completely normal way to exist in this world, right?
Just imagine if we had all grown up in a different culture that wasn't so intent on convincing people to be insensitive and good at normalizing misogyny...

You were not programmed by Patriarchal Culture of White Supremacy to care about the well-being of girls and women.
If you truly believe you care about girls and women, find more people who actually act like they care about the well-being of girls and women to hang out with.

Oh well.
I guess if you kill yourself, you could escape from the mean ones temporarily, but then, are you just going to have to come back again and deal with the same inane, stupid b*******?
Well, maybe so.
Why are people like that?
Because acting like civil rights are important is hard when they want to take them away from you more than you want to have them for yourself and for your children and for other people's children too.
The histories that will be written make me shiver.
Their lack of compassion towards their fellow human beings was nearly demented and bordering on self-harm, second only to the violence of the even more desperate ICE agents.
Can't fix everybody. Or maybe anybody, actually?
I do hope some daughters of certain socioeconomic get some help for their eating disorders because their sociopathic parents are probably not going to do a lot to help them with that, having been brainwashed into being deeply misogynistic and racist against great portions of humanity at quite an early age.

I think some people need to figure out who their audience really is before they die. And it starts by acknowledging who you're acting like it is now.
Everytime I try, my body protests.
Failure to fit in with the Patriarchal Culture is the message. A very repetitive one.
Even my teeth must be reminding me, post happy hour.
Another day, another reminder that I am definitely not a rich white guy in this life. So many people are good at reminding me of this. They may have received their training at a very young age.
Actually, I was trying to have fun yesterday, and today I'm paying for it.
Was reading a book about a certain industry and I thought yeah let's just get to know what it's been about and I had some drinks (two cocktails and one mocktail, all very citrusy) and today my teeth hurt. I better use the special toothpaste on them. And the alkaline mouthwash. Among other things.

Yeah, this book wasn't really such a warm and fuzzy one to read.
But lots of bad things are happening right now, so maybe that's the point of reading it.
Also, maybe the universe is telling me "You're not so much like the person who gets put away in a camp in this lifetime. You're more like the character in this book, in this life."
But obviously we're very different because I'm not her. She's a book character. She lives in a southern town in the 1940s. She's a child, and I'm an adult.
Lots of adults have been acting quite childishly, though.
Just remember I have a body to take care of right now.
Some of the successful people have really been duped into going along with certain kinds of programming and it's going to look very strange to others if they keep going along with it.
For now, it still seems normal "for someone like them" to act that way, but it's not going to seem so normal anymore in the future. They could be ahead of the curve and change now.
Gone with the Wind! I've never seen that movie. It's a very well known film, though, so... It's coming to mind for some reason.
I'm remembering being on the playground in elementary school after I moved to a new place.
Hey, why am I remembering that? Is it because my elementary school playground at that particular school was far more diverse than their audiences? Yes.
Maybe I'll just have to take care of myself now.
Maybe I'll just stay in today.
I have itchy lower calves and I wonder if it's sun poisoning. I need to apply aloe.
The toe that used to be the good toe got stiff and painful yesterday. Maybe it's arthritis like they said the other toe was.
It's hard to feel able to cater to the insecure, to the supposedly more privileged people's needs, when the universe is clearly telling me I'm not supposed to be doing that right now.
I remember a little more about the sad dreams.
In one dream, I was in a dark place with other people, like we were being held in a cellar and suddenly, one person disappeared another person. She was just gone. Just snatched down into a hole. And nobody said anything about it. That's what they do. I saw it, so I was going to have to say something. I hadn't opened my mouth to speak yet in the dream, and everything was going slow, like people moving underwater. But the part about being snatched away and disappeared, that wasn't slow. That happened very quickly.
And then there was another dream because some people were being held in a basement and more of us knew about it now, so they were going to get free. Sometimes they were let out and able to walk around a garden, and when they walked around it was like they were traumatized, and one of them could have been a friend of mine. They were going to get free, but it was still going to be a while before that happened.
And then in one last dream, there was a field and a big stone basin was in a rocky area, and it was like something that would have been important to Native Americans in another time. My husband told me that a man we both knew had been grinding my old clothes in it. It was weird and we kind of laughed about it. The man who had been grinding my clothes was an artist, but he was gone. But he knew about the women who were being held in the basement too. I think he was going to try to do something good with his life. Something social justice oriented, something that showed that he cared.
For some of the performers who still going on with the performance.
I had a dream that they disappeared you too.
It didn't make me feel good to see that.
And you don't care about your fans that much.
If you did, you'd care about the ones who can't see you anymore.
You've had an entire life to make different choices and to see the humanity in more kinds of people.
These are my thoughts.

Maybe meditation music is really good to listen to in these times.
I started remembering that my dream this morning was in two parts. Part 1 was actually that I had a very peaceful sleep in some sort of lounge area of a school and I was waking up from it with meditation music in my head. Part 2 was about walking around the school and seeing signs warning people that ICE was coming.
I just saw poisonous spider.
It's in the bathroom sink, hanging from the faucet. It has red on its belly. It's flaunting the red on the belly.

But now it's gone. So I can put that special toothpaste on my teeth.

I guess I can thank the spider grandmother, because the spider showed me exactly what was going on, and it can reincarnate.

Some of today's thoughts... Possible prompts...
I think if you want a larger variety of people to be able to enjoy freedom and prosperity, you have a much greater vision.
Sometimes, some people have reminded me that the phrase "rest on your laurels" exist for a reason.
It seems to me that some get to figure out if you just want to be worshipped from afar or do some other stuff that might be a little bit more interesting to future generations.
It really hurts to feel like more people do not care about what's going on. I really thought more people would be acting like they cared.
Sometimes I wonder what it's like to be as comfortable with the way things are as you are.
Stuff that's going to look too racist to people in 100 years is way too comfortable for some people right now and I understand that this is not pleasant to hear.
White people can't just stand next to people of color and say look, I'm not racist, when a bunch of people are actually being persecuted by both white ppl and people of color who are working as ICE agents. And they are committing severe crimes against humanity right now.
I am incredibly disappointed with how complacent some people are being with what's going on. I know you have to live your life. I'm not saying you have to make it take over your life but you can do so much more.
Miep Gies said that they did all that they could and she could not have possibly done more. You know most people aren't really like that, are they?
This must have happened very quickly. Sad and shocking.
