Well, I did it in a past life.
"A day in the life of a lady who menstruates and was made pregnant by a man and did not have a miscarriage."
So, besides changing PCOS to PMOS this year...
Companies are getting interested in monetizing menstrual blood now?

Problematic stepfather stuff? Hmmm.
"She sat down for the interview with The New York Times Magazine after being chosen as one of the 30 Greatest Living American Songwriters.
“I’m a massive sombr fan, of his songwriting. And his lyrics are so intensely confessional. ‘I don’t want another man’s child to have the eyes of the girl I can’t forget.’ Are you kidding me?” Taylor said.
She continued, 'Having a male artist say stuff like that is really good for the cause of women to be able to say stuff. If there’s any way we can make confessional songwriting a little bit more of something that isn’t, like, people take that as like you were being messy. You have to be fair to everyone then.'
It sounds like Taylor is saying that when male artists are open and personal in their music, it helps normalize confessional songwriting and highlights the need for women to be judged by the same standards rather than criticized as 'messy.'”

Now, just because patriarchy's favorite kind of mother is a person who got pregnant by a man and didn't have a miscarriage or an abortion today...
Doesn't necessarily mean that's always going to be the way it is when the grandchildren are older.
And weirdly, this video also kind of reminded me about bias in teaching surveys.

When I watched the content creator rant about taking the knee pads off, I remembered taking a sensual dance workshop. I thought it was going to help you feel like you could get more in touch with your body, maybe kind of like a belly dance class, but that was not what it was like.
For a lot of it, we were crawling on our knees, and we also had knee pads on, which was good because one of my knees was not super happy about contact with hard floors. I felt ridiculous during quite a bit of it, and not sensual at all but it also was an interesting experience. It was kind of fun in a way, like you could imagine yourself as a more low-bellied creature crawling on the Earth.
Also, the music didn't really make me feel terribly sensual. It just made me feel kind of ridiculous, and a lot of it was from a male point of view, but different people have different musical tastes.
And then I looked up and I saw how something about the way the fans affected the vents made it look like there were swastikas on the ceiling! And once I saw it, I couldn't stop noticing it for all the rest of the workshop!
But then again the original swastikas used to have a different meaning before the Nazis used them, right? This is such a weird time!
At the end of the class, the instructor seemed a little bit embarrassed. Because she wasn't sure how it would go because it was her first time teaching in a group class setting.
All of the moms, or should I say, people who got made pregnant by men at some point and did not have a miscarriage, and perhaps some of the other kinds of people in female bodies, were telling her how she did a great job and it was wonderful experience. And I thought, I think it was interesting and I feel stressed out, but I would like to take a belly dance class again in the future, though.
What can be done? You want to support the instructor because she's trying a new thing. What if the instructor gave out surveys afterwards? That might elicit some useful information. However, there can also be problems with biases, which is what happens sometimes when people give out those surveys...
I can't wait for all the Patriarchal People to love me more when I get pregnant! Whoops! That's not actually not going to happen!

Spiritual vibes! 😻
When we were little kids my sister and I found a cat in the snow up in that Northern Place and my uncle ended up taking care of it for the rest of its life and it lived well and had a snazzy name. And the cat was happy and said we did a good thing and saved its life. So apparently this spiritual cat has high hopes for us.
Living in these things can be uncomfortable!
It's good that people can have opportunities to feel better and stretch their bodies and stuff. Cough. Hydrate. All kinds of things. So pretty. So many pretty poems and songs to enjoy!
But of course, we are imperfect human beings making our way in the world.
"1If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. 4Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. 11When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. 12For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known. 13 So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love."
—1 Corinthians 13

You know, different kinds of people have some very different ideas of what love and fun means to them, don't they?
So, I have a spiritual mom friend who is interested in what's going on with me, and she gives me books and jewelry and gemstones just spontaneously, because she just feels like it.
There are better ways to be. This is something I don't know how to forget.
It's the Patriarchy who taught you how to abandon people who are different from you, so maybe you should start considering some better alternatives.
There's something about being spiritual with some people.
My spiritual friend who is a mom who has one grown son and who lost her daughter as a baby (so sad) is really nice to me, and she never makes me feel bad about the issues I have had. She's just not wired that way. She doesn't seem to want to make herself feel better by putting down or discounting somebody who has had an experience that's different from hers. It's amazing how many people are wired to do that, though. I just don't understand why, sometimes. It seems like it's something they must have learned from a very unspiritual society, that it's a quick way to make themselves feel more special, or something like that. I don't know. It has shocked me on many occasions as I've gotten older, though.
I do think some people are like this.
Do you think some people are afraid of becoming more sensitive to what others are experiencing?
Human beings have free will.
I guess you just have to decide to believe what you want to believe; that's your choice.
Isn't this amazing to know? Well, it is if you're me.
Message from my friend who was a mom who died of cancer: She said that I was kind to her in her life and that I helped her a lot and she wanted to help me, and then I shouldn't feel bad that I didn't call her in the last years of her life. She said I didn't need to be there and she didn't want me to see her that way. That I should remember her when she was better, and I said yes, it's true. The last time I saw her it really upbeat and we were really nice to each other. The universe has a sensitive side.
I almost love a pothole. Scabs.
Potholes that make you fall down in a strange parking lot at night, fearing your twisted ankle won't let you get up, and the world will show you that it's not filled with good people. Potholes that later get filled in so well, you would almost think to yourself that maybe the pothole never was actually there to begin with, but for the scabs on the scraped knees that stuck around for days and days afterwards...

What's in the works, being created, etc? 🖌️🖼️🧑🏻🎨
I think it's worthwhile to consider that people who have had different life experiences can learn a lot from each other. Like, I almost I can't believe people who go on stages and communicate with big audiences all the time really do that. But sometimes I can feel something in my body that almost knows what that feels like. However, I haven't done anything like that in this life, or hardly ever. I think it would be interesting if some could get more articulate about what they learned from those experiences. And is there anything in particular you do before you perform or do you just change from day to day? Do you go to a place and kind of download a vibe and then you change what you do based on the vibe and have an experience that is very "live in the moment?"
I feel like I was supposed to learn about balancing discovery with listening more to myself and setting boundaries. I can learn how to bring something new into the world, but also, how to shed light on places that have been neglected. So that certain types of abuses that have happened can no longer continue. Some have encountered very dark and abusive situations, simply because people were convinced that being ignorant of what's going on with other human beings is a normal way to survive a certain kind of society. Maybe some people sought solace in conformity because they didn't know had to otherwise handle what happened to them.
And now it is Sunday evening!
The snake at the winery.
A guy and a girl were behind a tree near me and she got scared by a gopher snake. He told her it was harmless. She said I'm not about it. He said do you want me to take away from you and she said I don't know. Be careful. She didn't know if she thought he should touch the snake. Then he went and he picked up the snake and put it elsewhere. It was very long and dangling dramatically from his hand. I kind of smirked to myself and thought now he can be the hero. He's probably feeling pretty happy right now that he gets to pick up that snake and carry it away.
She said be careful. Don't let it bite. I snapped a picture and then another woman came over and asked if he was my husband and I said no and she said he picked up a snake didn't he? I said yes but I don't know him. And then the girl said well I guess he's my hero. And then some other people started coming up too and said hey. Did you pick up that snake? What kind of a snake was it???
This one's pretty amusing.

I woke up feeling kind of sick and I was thinking I just can't deal with these f****** people. It doesn't matter. I just can't deal with them right now, and then I got this weird kind of guidance and it told me that the reason why Otto Frank had to deal with a bunch of lawsuits in his life was because it helped him work through any impulses he had for more payback or revenge because of all the wrong that had been done to him.
