Also, they have these studies out now that say that spanking children affects the same part of the brain as sexual abuse does so I don't know what they're going to be saying about video games in the future.

Blessings be upon our heads. Instead of more beatings for having a "smart mouth."
"If you raise a child in an environmentally conscious garden that's free of child abuse, you might have the ability to produce a less mentally ill mother!"
Gardening! You can do more of it when you have...
This is such a great segway into environmentalism.
How can you not be smart enough to know this?
Obviously it means that owning land and a house equals child abuse. Oh my gosh these people love the Bible, too. Landowners who abuse children love their Bibles and church attendance. That's another thing they really love. Clearly we know what we I mean they love the most, but we also know what we love, I mean what they love, the second most.
Anyways, I wonder what he's learning about in his next life.
Anyway, you know how there was another uncle who didn't want to visit you but always went up to visit the white people who owned a house and land in the other part of California, and might be reincarnated as a really different person now? Uncles love land and houses a lot, but aunts love land and houses a lot too. And they love the ones who own the land more than they love the ones that don't own the land. So if you happen to be a child who doesn't own land, but gets abused by one of the uncles, who does own land, guess what that means?
Prevention is key!
Anyways, now that we've established that you and your friends think a whole lot of humanity is way less important than the "genetically superior" people and the houses and land that they own, we're really getting somewhere, finally.
You know what, the land looks so much better when people care enough to take care of the climate too.
Isn't it nice to think about the land? And to think about taking care of the climate?
I should reread her book and find out if her guy owned LAND.
We all know that house and land-owning pedophiles are more important than the non-land or house owning pedophiles.

I can't remember if he did own his house and the land on it or not. But he might have. I wouldn't put it past him.
People who are better than this can surely be better than the racist house and land-owning mom babysitter was!
But there's no guarantee because she probably didn't like riots, either.

You're too depressing to look at right now, so I'm not going to do it today.
Sometimes the way you act makes me feel as though the really bad guys are just symptoms of a lot of people like you being stuck in your own survival strategy.
Of course no one else can be like you.
Especially when it's literally impossible for somebody in my kind of body to do that s***.
That's why it's good that other people are putting more stuff out there now.
I cannot wait for the exhausting people to let their survival strategies run the course so then they can finally start acting like human beings who learned how to deal with their own feelings.

I don't understand why being so bad for other people's health has to be so integral to the way you choose to live your life on a daily f****** basis. Why should I want to replicate that stuff? Why.

Feeling judgy.
There should be more songs about how glad people are that they could manage to pull off a normal friendly conversation. "That was the best karma ever."
What about this idea...
Maybe humans are meant to pay more attention to what feels sacred. Maybe when there are other forms of love that feel very important to experience but either they seem tempting but then too scary, and then tempting again but then too scary again... Maybe it's because that's not the most important one to pursue and there's something else that's more important instead.
Here's a new idea of something to do with the time remaining on Earth.
There could be many years left yet, but maybe time goes by very quickly too?
The creative project of meeting with another at a holy place like a monastery, or in the mountains, or by a lake or somewhere else, can seem very appealing sometimes. Anyways, there could be something holy or significant or spiritual about meeting in a special place. Something where it feels like some kind of higher guidance could be helping humans with communicating better.
Because there's lots of conflict going on right now, and I suppose when people are very sensitive to certain topics, sometimes conflicting points of view can make it more difficult to have the more enjoyable kinds of communication. That might be talking or might about music or might be about silence. I sometimes wonder why there are so many ego struggles and where they've come from.
I feel like I was able to feel very spiritual at a young age in this life, so it's been interesting to notice how easily I have been knocked off of that path when certain human behaviors triggered some kind of pain, and I have maybe not been as spiritually guided as I thought I would have been when certain challenges arose during this time of being on the planet.
Oh, just these small steps towards progress...

I'll just try to be a little bit more soothing from now on, I guess.
People could play in gardens and be in nature more and I feel like it would be so balancing and so healing. Instead of trying to fix all the problems, just try to remember to feel what it's like to be in a state that feels more balanced and loving, and get used to that feeling.
Hahaha...this needs the deep creepy laugh to make it feel more comical.
Something that's really cool about getting older is: you realize that you can make all kinds of plans and try to make yourself "safe" from something happening to you that you don't want to happen to you; however...
(I watched a video earlier where a young woman was explaining why she was planning out her life in a certain way so that she would never end up in a particular way when she was older, and it just made me kind of wince / smirk. )
Because it's true that you don't know what's going to happen. Something could still happen to you or somebody else, and you're just going to have to deal with it when it does, if it does, but maybe it won't, but it could. I mean, I've certainly seen that that kind of scenario unfold plenty of times.
Anyways, maybe I'm going through another transition now.
I have empathy for people who don't freak out as much about all the stuff that's happening.
It's too much. Plain and simple. They have other things to do with their time.
It's easier for me to freak out about it because I don't have to work full-time right now. Or raise kids that are my own.
I can worry about the children that I don't have to raise because I have time to do so.
But at the same time, it seems like it was sort of my unpaid job to do it.
I don't know. Maybe I need to end my unpaid job.
I think it is ending actually.
I kind of want it to.
Enough.

Quote of the Day by Henry David Thoreau
His famous reflection, “'How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live,' remains a powerful reminder that real wisdom comes from experience, not just observation."
Do you think I planned this?
I have wondered about this, and I'm starting to formulate a theory. I have a theory that the Universe needed me to feel more pain about what happened between Beatrice and Ludovico than about what happened with Diane and Henri because look at the Dynamics of Our Time, Man. Look at what they're doing! Hardly anybody gets to be like Diane. Way more Beatrices out there. And yet it seems like it was an incomplete project if I didn't get to acknowledge that other pairing.
Raspberries for lunch. Did my digestive system some good.
How anyone can conduct an either very private or very public rendezvous in a tea garden or coffee shop under these conditions is beyond my capacity at the moment. Sigh! It's probably because there's more good stuff that needs to be discovered.

God might love some witches more than you think, if you're religious.
Some people need feminism more than other people. Some people need poetry more than other people. Some people need more help than other people. Some people just have more needs than others. Some people don't fit in as well as other people with the way the Patriarchal System's been set up. You know, it's like the opposite of poetic Justice, but some sort of poetic Perseverance comes out in place of it: you make a friend, and the friend relies on you to help her make important life decisions, and then you get disconnected from the friend, who writes a book which turns out to be a memoir instead of a novel, which is what it was originally, and the friend's abuser has a certain first name and then years later you find out someone who had a bad impact on your life also had the same first name. What the hell. And your friend dies before you can even tell her about that. But who knows what goes on in the afterlife?

"Republicans ignore public calls for reforms, throw another $70 billion at ICE and CPB"
https://www.ms.now/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/republicans-ice-reform-70-billion-budget
'In a written statement, Rep. Jamie Raskin, the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, said, “House Republicans are choosing to hand over $70 billion more in taxpayer dollars to fund ICE and Border Patrol’s chaos in our communities. This is on top of the $140 billion they already gave ICE in their ‘Big, Ugly Bill.’ MAGA Republicans refused to negotiate on popular and essential reforms to responsibly enforce our immigration laws while respecting the civil liberties of our people. I voted hell no.”
“ICE and Border Patrol aren’t targeting ‘the worst of the worst.’ College students, nurses, babies and children, pregnant women, cancer patients, and even American citizens have been rounded up in their lawless, brutal raids. This corrupt agency is making all of us less safe. We need affordable health care, not an open money spigot for ICE corruption and masked federal agents killing American citizens and disappearing our neighbors from the streets.”
Everybody's coping with this type of thing happening to human beings who deserve so much better in a different way these days.
"Marsha Griffin, a pediatrics professor and co-founder of the executive committee of the American Academy of Pediatrics’ Council on Immigrant Child and Family Health, called the period of infancy and toddlerhood 'probably the most harmful time of their lives to have them in detention.'

Cheese and crackers probably wasn't the healthiest breakfast for this type of female genetics; however...
I remember when I was at the poet Ruth Stone's house and she had a big slice of white bread and a hunk of cheese and a glass of wine and she offered me some and I declined it because I was trying to be good and only eat like hummus and salad that day. Because of PCOS, but it was also because of menstrual cramps which she probably didn't suffer from because she had different genetics from me. But said, with exasperation, "So healthy!" and it was not in a complimentary way. So anyways. She probably would have liked that I ate cheese and crackers. And chocolate. For breakfast.

News Flash: You may have noticed that MOST of the children in this country (THE VAST MAJORITY OF THEM) do not have Super Rich Parents!
That's a disservice to your own humanity. I'm sorry that that happened to you 😿!
Let me guess: You got trained from a young age to feel like you still need to be around the kinds of women who act like certain kinds of men are superior to others all the time in order to feel good about yourself and be able to fit in better with what is expected of you by our Patriarchal Society.
Is there a better way to do activism? What's the best way? What's your opinion on that?

The predators who are running things and making more people feel endangered and persecuted are not okay.
The fact of who you see running this country right now makes me feel like every family has had f****** predators in it, and everybody acted like these predators were okay, and they were not. They were sick in the head. They treated people terribly. And certain people were treated way worse than others. And everybody else was just supposed to pretend that was fine. Why? Good grief. Who finally stops pretending that it's fine and okay that things were like that?
Anyhoo...
Regretfully, it actually feels like my sister and I experienced just as much and perhaps even more violence than the aunts and mother, even though the aunts and mother also experienced violence. I mean, they experienced a lot of violence actually. My aunts and my mother also acted like they worshipped men and white men and money and property ownership more. They had more access to it than we had. And we are treated like the very bottom and the very lowest. This is the mean middle class mentality which is very sexist and racist and discriminatory. And we would have been treated better if we had been born boys. Because that's how they grew up. They were taught when they were small children that women are inferior to men and they still f****** act like it.
If I were a war veteran who molested children I would have been treated better by my family, because that's what they did. They treated a war veteran who molested children better and he owned land and he had money. He didn't like to talk about nasty things like his war experiences either. He seemed like a good guy. He liked animals and gardening. He was fun to be around too! He never talked about the kinds of things that people didn't like talking about. Who even knows what happened to him. I guess I will never know because he's dead now. Good riddance.

Stop embarrassing the environmentally conscientious grandchildren (or your future self).
"Ultra-wealthy people zooming across the world on their private jets, lounging on yachts and conspicuous by their Instagrammable consumption are among the most easily identified individual culprits when it comes to the climate crisis – but new research argues that it is not just their heady lifestyles to blame, but also their bank accounts."

I feel I could have been a good mother if I had inherited different genetics...
To be continued some other time...
(In my old job, certain female students used to come up to me and say they could tell I seemed like I would be a good mother. They used to urge me to have kids. They were all mothers.)
I think their lives were a little bit simpler in that regard.
2026 has been so strange!!!
"Yet the silence prevails . . . That they should keep silent about this in Germany, that the Fascists should keep silent, is natural and, all things considered, not unwelcome to us . . . But what shall we say about the silence of the civilized world, about the silence of culture, about our own silence in front of our children . . . It is not due simply to weariness . . . It is shame. We are men, we belong to the same human family to which our torturers belonged. Confronted by the enormity of their guilt . . . We are not able to feel exempt from the accusation . . ."

This is not about safety. This is about the money which gives people the delusion of being in power over others.
"'The family and advocates are still seeking basic answers about his custody, transportation, and access to legal paperwork,' the family statement said.

Strange but perhaps true?
Maybe my body can talk in lieu of other voices until the other voices get through.
My body seems to be sensitive to the suffering that is happening to humanity in certain ways.
And then of course I can also have a personality that wants to go and have fun. But how much fun can I have, really?
What kind of fun.
Now if I still have a close connection (because of a previous existence?) to the circumstances that some people are experiencing now, than what if my healing is intertwined with their healing?
Even if I am not going through that same experience in this life, but I have some recollection of having gone through it in a previous life, what if that's just part of what I have to go through in this lifetime?
What if I'm just trying to figure out my life purpose while figuring out what it's like to deal with all these kinds of, like, memories or information or feelings, and experiencing that stuff in this certain kind of physical vehicle which maybe developed illnesses that were stress-related along the way, as I was growing up and as I was becoming an adult and as I was going through my life stages.
And it's a certain kind of female body with a particular kind of genetics that I'm dealing with and I have to deal with that first before I deal with anything else.
And it's bringing out some knowledge that has been underrepresented in mass consciousness.
So that's a difficulty that happens sometimes when it comes to communicating with others. Like you can express, but maybe the words aren't what they want to hear, so it just doesn't get through.
Maybe they have to have more life experiences and go through more things themselves before they can hear certain things.
It's like when I was younger and I wasn't ready to read a certain book. Then when I got older and I read the book, it was the right time to read it, and I really appreciated it more.
Maybe I'm just like a book that needs to be read later, when more people are ready to read it.
Well, I feel like my life got very sobering this evening.
I need to pay more attention to my health. I'm more likely to drink milk thistle tea and water. I just got this funny feeling and I have to listen to it. It's really something how a little twinge can change my attitude. And make me feel like I need to be much more cautious and careful. And possibly some other people have to learn lessons that I am not supposed to learn alongside of them. If what I'm trying to do is learn how to be better with a certain type of physical state of being that I am still learning more about taking care of. I mean, it's a little bit sad, but it's just necessary. I just don't have the ability to go certain ways others may go when my body starts telling me I need to do something differently. I have to listen to my body. That's how it works in this Earth life.

"Anybody seen 'Central Station' (1998)?"
This is good. I should have read it last month, but better late than never.
"When I was in kindergarten, my mother was already warning me to be vigilant. Decades later, America elected a president who famously bragged about grabbing women 'by the pussy.' That vulgar phrase — excused as locker-room talk and shrugged off by millions of Americans — was an exact description of what happened to my mother that day at the mall. She was sexually assaulted while boys laughed and strangers looked away. And even now, the misconduct and sexual violence of Harvey Weinstein, Sean 'Diddy' Combs, Jeffrey Epstein and too many other men prove that these stories are very much still worth warning us about.
I feel my mother’s absence every day, and it’s especially urgent this time of year. My grief is anger that my mother died, and anger that she suffered for years before she died. It’s anger that she had to teach me about violence before she got to teach me so many other things. Anger that women are still expected to absorb shame quietly and move on. Anger that in 2026, we are still arguing over whether women are believable.
This Mother’s Day, I’m tired of trying to squeeze myself into someone else’s tidy narrative about what love and grief are supposed to look like. Instead, I’m going to honor my mother’s full legacy — not just the parts that fit neatly into an Instagram caption. I’m going to hold the beauty of the day alongside my ire, and the tenderness alongside the truth: I feel anger for the world she had to prepare me for.
Rage is my inheritance, too."

"The Defiance of Marjane Satrapi" - The Atlantic
"When the news broke last week that Marjane Satrapi, the French Iranian artist best known for the groundbreaking graphic memoir Persepolis, had died at age 56, I had what turned out to be a common reaction: That’s impossible. A friend wrote to me that Satrapi seemed invincible, which feels correct—not only because of the bold vitality of her books and films and public statements but also because Persepolis is, in so many ways, about survival."

I really think this one is worth reading.
"Who Gets Believed? by Dina Nayeri – why asylum seekers struggle to be understood"
"Nayeri learned the value of performance early. Fleeing Isfahan after Iran’s Islamic revolution with her Christian mother, she wound up at a refugee camp outside Rome. Little Dina would sit around campfires with other refugees “practising, tailoring our stories for asylum officer[s], knowing that our lives depended on what the officer found credible”.
Later, during her training at Harvard Business School and then working for management consultant McKinsey, Nayeri became fully fluent in the “glossolalia” of business speak, deploying to clients such aggressively meaningless phrases as “directionally correct”, “outperforming at scale” and, my favourite, “achieving granularity”.
What Nayeri learned, she writes, “is how to be believed – how to be the one people want to believe, feel safe believing”. Sri Lankan torture victims and Ugandan lesbian asylum seekers rarely get such training.
“The refugee in me fumed,” writes Nayeri. “These lessons exist, have long existed and have been handed to those who need them least. The rules were created for the children of the (native and colonising) rich. I just happened to be in the room.” The author now teaches creative writing in the UK at St Andrews University, no doubt coaching students in how to give literary performances believable enough to woo cultural gatekeepers – agents, publishers, critics – as she has."
~ Stuart Jeffries
Okay, back on track!
It feels good to have a more positive attitude. It feels great to be emotionally supported by a white guy whose look is less like what the Nazis would have preferred. Sometimes, the callously uncaring ones were also really callous and uncaring towards certain kinds people because of other reasons.
So, did you hear about how some of the bad rich people are making the almost slaves do a lot of stuff...

It's just making it harder to aspire to the luxury lifestyle that the culture may want you to embrace, sometimes?Oh my goodness!
If I drive 10 miles there is a 24-hour Starbucks that's open now. I assume it's a drive-thru. Wow! Didn't know that. But 24-hour places are good because some people work night shifts and they deserve options.

I'm sure she was really sad because of what happened to her maid, and just not because a tall white guy left her. That's why I can almost taste the froghead lollipop in my mouth right now!!!! I gotta check when the nearest coffee shop opens. I know they open early.
I think the froghead lollipop should be my luxury treat tomorrow.

I had a dream about trying to talk to a rich person; very nicely, too...
I did try to have a fruitful caring conversation with them, but they were sort of self-absorbed, but I do think they were good at gardening. They definitely weren't going to be sorry about anything. And even though I said I would be back, as I drove away from their estate, I thought to myself, maybe I should just never come back here again.
Pray about the student loan situation, too, silly careless ich people.
The luxury of going out and ordering the evening special and taking the other half home to split with another person is possibly not beyond your comprehension.

Different cover. Same Hemingway quote.
Smoking tobacco free cigarettes. I don't have any intention of getting addicted to tobacco.
Wow! This doesn't happen everywhere.
The sight of a green parrot on a telephone line.
Only in certain regions will that happen.
Anyways, I know psychological well-being is important.
Sometimes I've felt disappointed by the seeming complacency of some but...
People are on their own timelines, so....
Just putting it out there.
I just want more evidence of curiosity and kindness and compassion to help me feel a lot better about the things I've gone through.
Exciting upcoming creative projects!

Imagine that...

The end of this made me want to laugh and that was not what it was like to read the end of the Ibsen play.
"Hedda - Official Trailer"

Maybe it's almost, like, therapeutic. You could watch the original Ibsen version, and then you could watch the "Hedda" film and feel that impulse to laugh about how ridiculous people can be.
Yeah, that's a more relaxing 😂 point of view.
And it kind of makes you feel like more people would live a lot longer and have a better time in their existences...
Oh well.💐
Anyways, I can tell I still have to put healing first. Since I live in this particular body, in these particular circumstances, at this particular time.
I mean, who knows. Maybe more people will be checking out copies of her book in the not too distant future.

I have lots of herbal supplements and probably some PTSD from seeing how side effects from psychotropic medications affected others after experiencing less horrible but still really not fun side effects myself.
And also there was the whole incident where the massive doses of black currant seed oil stopped the bleeding when whatever the allopathic doctors gave me was making me have horrible menstrual cramps, and at the same time I got told about a woman who was undergoing a hysterectomy for the exact same problem I was having.
Which made me feel like an impending hysterectomy got stopped by the black currant seed oil capsules.
And also, not everybody can get their paychecks from the same imbalanced work environments and truly be psychologically okay with it.
Maybe will watch the film soon now that I've finished the book.

Maybe artists who left will come back as healers next time.
"I have to choose healer over artist" and now I have chills. Literally my body breaks down over this stuff. I can't do it anymore. I have too much to deal with right now. I have to delegate. Or if I can manage to fall asleep and wake up, sometimes that helps.
Time to do the next task.
Maybe I can take flower essences or supplements too. I wonder if I can make myself take a nap and if I wake up then the sensitivity won't be as much anymore? I'm doing things for it that are supposed to help with sensitivity.
I think I need to balance various interests / duties with health related necessities.
I have so many tasks to consider and it feels overwhelming sometimes! And now a tooth is being sensitive again!
People who are called to be creative have a difficult time following a certain path because something's telling them they're supposed to do something different. And doing something different is not always very easy or acceptable.
People have to learn how to take care of their nervous systems and their health and then they have all these other people around them trying to make them do things in a certain way and that is not necessarily the way that might be the best for their health.
Well I'm disappointed about the tooth sensitivity I have had with the veneer. I don't think I really needed or wanted a veneer. I think bonding would have been better on the veneer damages. The tooth more and takes away more of the enamel but it's supposed to look better on the outside and I don't really think I needed it and now it's bothering me.
And it lately seems interesting that the good experience I had with dental work happened with Persian dentist, and it was more of healing . And it was all complicated and it was like a part of the tooth was extracted and part was saved.
I think communication is important because when honesty is detected, that feels like good communication, but when manipulation is detected that does not feel like such good communication.
Sometimes you need to take a break from getting the information out there, I guess.
I feel like there's a nervous system / tooth sensitivity thing going on again.
This is actually not in the adult's graphic novel section.
One more checkout to behold in my one little life as this particular person.
