Freaky dreams in the early morning, and now some things are better.
Anyways, I had a dream that some entertaining people were convincing each other to have fun, but they were locked up in their kidnapper's basement. It was actually very terrifying, and I could not ignore that.
This is a good thing to read!
"‘My mission has been accomplished’: how Susana Baca resurrected Afro-Peruvian music"| Music | The Guardian
It's another day! Recovery is nigh.
It's worth noticing how we really are not the same, although we may share some things which make us feel like we have stuff in common. Well, we speak a common language - English. That's a start.
Well, it's another day to accept hard truths!
Their nightmarish vanity is no joke, and they really do ruin things. It's like they've been kidnapped by other forces, and they don't seem to know it. I'm scared. It's survivable, but it's not happy. You must wonder what you're supposed to learn from this. Just like why would any child be put in an environment in which they're made to feel unsafe? Maybe a lot of adults are being controlled by things beyond themselves. Very scary stuff.
On account of getting in touch with another level of feelings.
Thinking about calling some people "high - masking" more.
I don't know. I guess some people might think that?
Do you think that focusing on the upheavals that are happening in society to others is like running away from your own death?
Perils of the assignment.
Sensitive people are dying. DYING. Meaning they are dying without their bodies actually perishing. They are emotionally breaking down and probably getting reincarnated later, but that doesn't seem matter much when they're dying, because the dying is the point. How can people be such fragile, death-oriented, emotionally collapsing creatures and then the next day appear "normal" to others...

Next chapter!
Because even watching the first part of the documentary about Lew Wasserman helped me get through the previous one!
"She is alone, divorced, employed inside the motion picture industry, and she knows that the job she has, secretary, isn't going to lead anywhere but that she doesn't particularly want it to. She likes movies fine, but she isn't obsessed or enthralled by them. Sometimes she wonders, as she picks up the telephone and catches the sound of a familiar voice ('Hold on one moment, Mr. Brynner, I'll connect you') whether they sound as strange to themselves, these people who buzz in her ear all day. It's not that they aren't friendly or polite, it's that even when they flirt, they seem mostly to be talking to themselves. Perhaps this is her quarrel with the movies, why she likes them less than literature: because they are like one-way glass, where fiction is a welcoming room, one that bursts into life the moment you step inside it."

What does freedom even mean anyways?
I do feel, especially in these stressful times, that it's good to live with somebody who doesn't make me feel like I need to be a joiner of groups, and who also doesn't make me feel like I must think like him. That's what a lot of traditional husbands did in the past.
Maybe it feels too demanding for some people, but to others, it feels much more natural to consider multiple points of view.
There are so many people who have felt like outcasts of society on this Earth, and that can be a very painful feeling. So sometimes, when people are desperate not to feel like outcasts, they will join groups in order to feel a sense of belonging and security. But there are also some people who cannot in good conscience be the kinds of joiners of certain groups that others are. Or maybe it's better to say that they expect an experience of a society in which it's more acceptable to have deeper conversations and even disagreements. Are these kinds of people destined to suffer in utter loneliness and solitude all the time? I don't think so. I have wondered sometimes if in the United States our society suffers more from a lack of enthusiasm when it comes to having discussions about important topics that may include disagreements. But still, you can find pockets of humanity where people are willing to have the kinds of discussions that help us consider multiple points of view if you are interested, and if you look for them.
I wonder if something in nature believes in equity, emptiness, and balance in an environment.
In the summertime you can visit a park at sunset and feel closer to those qualities.
Tonight I got invited over to the house of a friend. She has a little kid and so he played while we talked. And instead of having dinner, I had lemon water and apples because it felt better to have that this evening.
And then there was a wonderful period of peace and quiet as the sun was going down.
I got to go put down my phone now.

It might be fun to get together sometime and talk about formative childhood experiences.
I do believe that having a racist mom babysitter at a very young age and seeing how she was so cold towards the brown boy who was like my first "on a regular basis" friend who was a boy must have been a very formative experience in my life. Because I didn't have any brothers. But also, having some really nice babysitters affected me and my outlook, too.
Just seems like a strange way to lead a life.
There's a guy in this documentary who seemed like he kind of worshipped Wasserman, and he must have been so relieved to have someone tell him what to do all the time. Even how to dress.
"Lew Wasserman: The Man Who Built Hollywood"
After some physical pains went away today, I feel like I accomplished a good domestic task.
I just made a bunch of vegetables for a turkey burger bowl and ate it, but it was too many vegetables, so then I said "Do you want a turkey burger bowl? Because I made too many vegetables, and I could really quick put another turkey burger on the grill..." (It's a little grill. It just grills one patty at a time. It's for in kitchen use. It's George Foreman brand and I got it for a really good price at a discount store that's closed now.) And so now I'm providing healthy food for two people and not just one, and I feel like I was able to accomplish something!
After all, it's not like the tax dollars that are being misused have feelings about it. That's a human quality.

“Just before a habit dies, it screams the loudest. That’s the nature of an extinction burst. In this episode, I explore why change often feels hardest right before it sticks—and how understanding this psychological principle can help you break cycles, hold boundaries, and stop mistaking resistance for failure.”
— RJ Starr
Things are getting really rough.
First, I need to take care of my physical ailments and affix my own oxygen mask, but I also feel like we might really need to pray for some of the "privileged" people whose entire lives have revolved around a Patriarchal system that's collapsing.
Oops, even that was too painful.
So apparently I can't get anything useful done right now either. Time to lay down and just veg out and do nothing.

You get the nice person telling you that all kinds of things are more important than human beings getting normal decent treatment. Yeah, I think I'm going to stay in and skip the pool today.

I am sad to see this happening again.
I have found that people who don't care about the less fortunate often treat the daughters the worst, too. It's the patriarchal training telling them to be that way, and it's sick! It's sick, I tell you.
Grandpa who has passed on wants you to know that his life was hard too.
None of his business associates cared about human rights for girls or women or the daughters' anorexia or any of that either.
This is totally not a Balanced or Fair Point of View, but
I'm starting to feel like getting into long term relationships with eating disorders is some rich women's way of being as much like Jeffrey Epstein as they can possibly be without being Jeffrey Epstein.

Oh, these make me feel good and like I want to cook something!

"ICE Now Forcing Haitian Immigrants to Wear Ankle Monitors"| The New Republic
https://newrepublic.com/post/213953/ice-haitian-immigrants-ankle-monitors
"The Trump administration is making Haitians in the U.S. report to immigration offices to either get ankle monitors or immediately be deported after stripping their Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, last month.
In Springfield, Ohio, dozens of Haitians with TPS were called to ICE offices, fitted with the ankle monitors, and given instructions not to travel more than 75 miles from their homes. The Haitian community in the city is about 15,000 strong, and a Supreme Court decision in June allowed the Trump administration to take away their TPS protections despite the ongoing poor security situation in Haiti.
Many Haitians have asylum applications that have been pending for years. One Haitian resident was told to either wear an ankle monitor or be deported with $2,600, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported. ICE has sent letters to Haitians with TPS to come to immigration offices with “any and all immigration documents.”
“It is important that you keep this appointment and bring this letter with you,” the letter states. “If you are unable to do so, state your reason, sign below, and return this letter to this office at once.”
A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson told The Independent that “Temporary Protected Status is exactly that—temporary.”
“What we would say now is it’s closing time which means you don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here,” the spokesperson said. “The good news is it’s not too late to get a $2,600 check and a free flight home.”
President Trump infamously accused Haitians in Springfield of eating cats and dogs on the campaign trail in 2024, and the Haitian community has been bracing for heavy-handed ICE raids ever since the Supreme Court’s decision in June. Ohio’s Republican Governor Mike DeWine has spoken up in support of Haitians in his state but has not promised any support beyond that."

That was a really weird relief dream.
I had a dream I thought I knew who was sleeping next to me but there was snoring coming from the other room. So then I realized there were two people here and somebody else was sleeping next to me and I poked the person and I was like who are you? Who are you? Who are you? And they sort of hid under a blanket and then I took the blanket off and it was somebody I knew who used to sleep next to me and I was like oh it's you and I was just relieved that I knew who it was!
Or perhaps I wasn't supposed to go to sleep yet.

What are you going to do when you find out more later that you weren't thinking about at the time?
Anyways, maybe tapping and some hypnosis will help.
Because there's an awful lot of heartbreak that comes along with seeing the potential of what could be, but knowing that some people can't feel motivated to change too quickly when they're more comfortable with the way things are. They don't seem to have a lot of sensitivity towards others and what they're going through. And that's why you need to find the ones who do have more sensitivity towards others. Because otherwise, if you're always around the people who don't feel very sensitive, you're going to feel like a crazy person. And it's not the case. You're not crazy for being more sensitive. You're just more sensitive. And that comes with its own set of circumstances to be dealt with.
Here it is! Oh, how wonderful to find it again!

I kind of miss being as young as I was when I first found it! Watching it on my laptop. In Virginia. In a house with all male roommates, except for me. That was an interesting time.
The new to me article about Magritte, and the song that accompanied a skit I laughed at earlier...

There's something in me that's more comfortable with multiple mindsets.
Like wanting to do things that are healing and nurturing and optimistic, to feel more balanced, but also wanting to acknowledge the shadow side of life...
Everyday is an opportunity to take a turn in a new direction?
Today I met with somebody who I think of as a friend, but who also is a grandmother and a mother, and she knows how sensitive people can get overwhelmed in these times. She introduced me to this and did some tapping with me as well. I think I might get the book myself. There's an app, too.

Next time I would like to take a train down the coast because that is quite beautiful.

I think it was great I was able to go to a concert this weekend and it was performed in a place that looks like a big shell next to the sea! And also, I was remembering being at a convention in San Diego nearly a decade ago. I stayed there for several nights. So as I walked across the deck between parking and The Shell, I was having some flashbacks because it actually was sort of like my home for a few days. I participated in a competition and I even won a medal, third place, that I still have somewhere. Maybe nature made arrangements to make me feel like I was well suited to attend and enjoy a show in that setting.
Pretty cute! 😺🍔💘

It's 11:11!
It was 11:10 when I got the reminder that I set an alarm for 1:10 and I remembered that I was told that when I see a lot of 11s it means my old friend is looking out for me. And I'll take that belief system. I'll take it!

You're such an amazing artist.
I can't wait to finally not give a s*** about my own human rights or any one else's just enough to feed your fragile f****** ego. Not even yours. It's your f****** horrible dad's ego. You're a puppet of your goddamn f****** father. Stay away from me.
This seems like proof that rich people can take strong stances on important issues.

How forever this takes...
It was very educational to go right out of college and be in all the lowliest and lowest paying positions in our best service-oriented industries: restaurants and academia, while living in a disabled-feeling female body, but it wasn't allowed to be called disabled, because it was just called tough s*** you got that kind of female body, and right now, I currently only have 1/4 of my smoking herbal blend ready in the mortar and pestle, but I had to pick a lot of stems out of the mullein flowers.
I can smoke occasionally.
I mean hey! I guess if some dumb, unhealed from their traumatized childhoods ICE agents have to be entertained like any other human being and then use that as an excuse to torture people...
I have to go out to the backyard that was forever changed by one single wounded juvenile raccoon this morning.
And smoke an herbal cigarette that I will make myself because I've run out of all of the ones I've bought and no place out here carries the tobacco-free cloves.

These are the times we are living in!
I keep feeling like I'm getting weird little memories of snippets of dreams I had in the past that foretold this time in my life. But I remember more about the feelings of the dreams than the actual plot of them.
