@ReallyVeryCrunchy
Even if some people don't want to believe I have had some of the experiences I had, it's not an excuse for the other random acts of sexism and racism they're continually perpetuating in their everyday lives.
As for my opinion on my own experiences...
Yeah, for me, I know those experiences actually happened.
Dude, I don't care if you don't believe me. It doesn't matter that much to me.
There's actually other much more important things to care about then you believing a weird story I've had happen to me.
Like, how about you just get much better at restoring some of your own empathy and your own humanity?
That would be good for you and your health.
Acting like only the unwell men were the legitimate veterans is just so false and unpatriotic.
What about all the other kinds of veterans?
Why do you have to unsee all kinds of people in order to have a "good life?"
It doesn't look that good.
It could be much better. It could be so much better.

Yesterday was a milder sore throat and more face pain.
There's much less face pain today.

Make it so!!!!💐
Just because you acted like oppressing daughters was one of your great comforts yesterday, and you got praised and rewarded for that. You can do better now.
Can't smell the relaxing lavender sleep balm. Nor can I smell lavender oil from a bottle. I hope my sense of smell comes back.
Please help me and my body to fully heal even tho we have been experiencing so much suffering and grief but I know I must believe we can get better and we can access healing, too.
I woke suffering again with the flu and more congestion on the left side and I truly prefer to experience better feelings and healing now. Please help me know how I can repair and heal my respiratory system and my immune system. Please send me the beautiful healing energies today. Please. Thank you. Blessings.
I pray for healing in a time of great sorrow, that the beautiful traits of compassion and healing can still be awakened, in a time where girls are crying because their society abandoned them and boys are saying demeaning things to them in schools and online because their parents voted for a bully who doesn't respect girls and women. What a sad time for these ignorant people. I pray to experience better and to feel better and to feel love and to heal my own body soon.
Please bless me with magical sleep.
Please bless every soul.
I am really tired of this flu and how it just seems like after it seems to get better, it changes the symptoms and comes back again.
You're here, flu. I acknowledge you. Can we please move on now? You deserve better, too.
Everyone deserves amazing health. I deserve to feel better and to enjoy really great health.
Please help me heal. And not, like, die or something ridiculous like that!
I must heal from the flu. Knowing that some people's parents were selfish and not especially trustworthy and they were too much in the pocket of the patriarchy and they made decisions that were harmful for themselves and other people and even for their own children as well is quite depressing, so I will pray to ask higher healing sources to help me move through that heavy knowledge, and please help me to go in a more healing direction, so I can relax and heal from the awful flu.
I said to the universe please please please please please help me relax and I feel the universe is listening I said I know I deeply know I truly know I have to relax more I have to allow the healing to happen in my body.

at least we can know that those sorry drunken and unappealing grabbers have been able to express even a wee bit more humanity than some of the shysters so many people were taken in by during the 2020s in this Nation O' Damaged Daddy Issues!
There's got to be better ways of be being here for someone who is like I am, and who is living in this kind of a life right now.
Don't see how some people can even keep on going along with it anymore!
It's as if all that entertainment that's obviously been catering to society's insecure white guys way more than it has been for anyone else is actually just a horrible and painful ordeal! Worse than menstrual cramps! Jesus.
I don't understand why treating girls and women like crap is so essential to your "privileged" lifestyle. It's a real failure of the imagination!
Random LinkedIn Guy is more interested in standing up for the rights of women and girls than most of the nation's parents in the 2020s.
He doesn't like the trend of guys who say "Your body, my choice," and he is making a stance on LinkedIn about it.
Anyways, the line between what the narcissistic guys in show business keep doing and whatever fuels misogynistic MAGA cult behavior seems thinner than ever.
Childish people voted for a troll who lives to deliver entertainment and they feel entitled to steamroll the human rights of everyone else just to recover even a small temporary morsel of glee for themselves. Willful ignorance is their bliss.
My throat is really sore, and so is my face, and so are some teeth, so no, it's not the best evening I ever had.
I guess I will go find a better remedy to help myself not feel so awful now.

I can't believe your conservative friends / sexist relatives / racist neighbors knew what was better for you and your children and the country than what several generals who normally would have voted conservative knew, but since they had already tried to work with the unwell bully who never recovered from his unhappy childhood the last time he was elected, they completely refused to vote for him this time around.

"Trump himself, an adjudicated rapist who has bragged about both committing sexual assault and engineering the reversal of Roe v Wade, speaks of women in vulgar, degrading terms. He picked a running mate who has denigrated childless women as 'psychotic' 'cat ladies'. His adviser and funder Elon Musk, who seems to have designs on becoming something of a shadow president in Trump’s second term, is a techno-fascist pro-natalist who goes around offering women insemination.
The Trump campaign positioned itself as a champion of a hierarchical gender order, aiming to restore men to a place of wrongfully deprived supremacy over women. Many of his voters cast their lot in with Trump hoping that he would do just that."

She's kind of mean to the neighbor cats if they want to get in her yard, but at least I'm not trying to put her in any important government positions based on the neglect I personally have suffered.
So I guess I don't have to worry about that too much?
Still sick, with more sneezing and eye watering, but hopefully this flu is progressing.
When your mom and dad still make far too many excuses for certain abusive men? And why, just because they got some happy chemical boosts and materialistic gains from their unwell society doing that? Are you fated to be indentured to their insecurities and addictions for your whole life?
They had such sad, tragic childhoods. Oh, humanity must be evolving. Just fascinated by that tragic sadness, and not knowing why. Just so much need amongst the sad people. Temporarily relying on ways that will not be able to sustain them for much longer. What a weird choice. There were probably other choices that could have been made. Oh well.
I'm listening to good meditations to try to help heal myself from the awful sorrow, and to begin heal just from knowing that people have been so sad.
I want my cat to have a better life then what some people seem to want for their very own children. It's so depressing. Angels weep at the cruelty of the ignorance that's been foisted upon people who deserve so much better. I need to help my body somehow heal from this sad experience. I need to boost my mood and my immune system somehow.
I feel like my body needs so much more healing. Want to cry so much; it feels so awful. Need healing, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry....
You just cannot believe how many excuses some people will make to avoid dealing with reality.
I hope it helps! Even though I got sick, possibly in part from a lot of stress, and it's rough, I am glad I was able to stand up for my true feelings with multiple kinds of people who should have known better. But I hope they might know better in the future.

Pretty weird how I had to stand up for some beliefs just to not let a situation that had gotten too violent and unhealthy continue, and I did it on behalf of myself and another, and the result was an interesting and substantial improvement but now I have a long illness and I really want it to get better. Let's pray to Jesus some people will get more curious and less wilful in their ignorance in the future. In the meantime, health is the number one priority. Like, please keep yourself alive and don't get into a worse health situation. I bet relaxation and curiosity are two great traits to learn more about when it comes to being able to recover from an illness. I look forward to some good progress being made really really really really soon.
Perhaps the early part of today has been a mourning / despair day, and it's the bottom, but could it begin to get better, and what if this doesn't have to become any worse than it's already been?
I need to heal, get better, make healing my number one priority again.
Prayers and good energy.
Please let us heal. It's a beautiful thing. I so want to heal. I felt shaky. But surely I can get better soon.

"It didn’t matter that Trump didn’t offer much in the way of specific policies to guarantee an improved economy or to lower the price of eggs, bacon or housing. Even as he rambled off course at his rallies, he kept returning to a message about safety and economic security, and he created an impression that he was looking out for the average person’s kitchen table concerns. In the stories he told, he cast himself as the hero and identified a long list of villains to stoke a reliable gust of grievances from people who feel like they live at America’s margins. In his grim fairytale, the villainous forces included a bloated government, out-of-touch Democrats and immigrants stealing the jobs from and poisoning the blood of 'true' Americans. Exit polls suggest that even some significant share of immigrants who voted didn’t want 'those people' jumping ahead of them in line or gumming up their chances to be seen and embraced by real America."

If you are a middle class parent, is your nice house and fitting in with whatever your neighbors are doing more important than your own health and your own children and their health, and if so, why???
I ache, and I hope I feel better tomorrow. I was feeling better and now I'm aching again. Dear Universe.

More people are actually acting like they care about the welfare of others now.
It's a good time to know that more people can see how not everybody has been accessing the same levels of societal or genetic privileges when they were choosing their own personal coping mechanisms or survival strategies.
You know when your body is literally making you feel sick and telling you it's not okay to pretend their prejudices are fine? That's hard to ignore, and sometimes it's actually almost impossible to ignore.
People know that not everybody has had the same levels of access to the same kinds of things, and now, some more of them are starting to actually act like they know it.

Sometimes I do feel lucky. I've gotten to live a life in a lot of different places with a lot of different feelings, even if I've had some really uncomfortable and sad ones sometimes, or I was kind of raised to be kind of like a migrant or outsider who's gone from place to place.

Sometimes I see other cats out in the parking lot, and one's being lazy in one corner while another one's being lazy just a few feet away, and they're not trying to attack each other. They're just giving each other space and coexisting peacefully, and I'm like, why can't my cat be more like that?

"By the end of WWII, over 31,000 suspected enemy aliens and their families — including Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany — had been interned at camps and military facilities across the U.S., according to the National Archives. Several thousand of them were ultimately repatriated to their country of origin, either by choice or by force.
Vladeck says the Alien Enemies Act was used to detain mostly Italian and German nationals. The bulk of the more than 100,000 Japanese Americans who were placed in internment camps during the war were U.S. citizens, detained under different legal grounds."

I don't need a nutritionally balanced meal. I just need this diet Coke, so then I can have a beautiful, gorgeous life. And finally, all my needs will be catered to. That's right! Cuz I'm worth it!
But Trump knows that traumatized people are big babies, and he knows how to appeal to their screaming inner 2-year-olds.
Donald Trump demeans women who have been demeaned by society ever since they were not even double digits in age.
It had all kinds of perfume and makeup and toys.
A real painted wooden train set out on the wooden train track, like something that would have been for the rich girls in Little House on the Prairie could be on display and played with in one aisle.
And then, the next aisle over, there was Love's Baby Soft and Exclamation perfume and all those gorgeous glossy magazines filled with even more amazing products and stories and pictures of beautiful models and interesting kinds of clothes....Wow!
Now it makes me want to get a fashion magazine and start drawing pictures.
Back then, it also made some very young people want to be on diets and exercise a lot and drink NutraSweet-flavored soft drinks.
Just remembered how, when I was a little kid, I could get access to the most inordinate amounts of joy just by looking at the makeup kits in a catalog. The more varieties of shades of eyeshadows and blushes, the better!
I need healing. I have the "coming down with a cold" kinds of feelings in my body and it also feels like I'm going to be broken-hearted because I already got so sad about people being awful to other people because of their own drama and trauma and being so sad and my body feels exhausted and I know it needs healing, please. Hi Universe, Hi Jesus, please help me, please. I know I can believe that I will get a lot better, and that I heal from a lot of this.

"So, that’s who New Hampshire just elected to be their next governor! Oh, and did I mention? Ayotte has been endorsed by and actively campaigned with two of New Hampshire’s most, err, controversial estate legislators: State Rep. Jess Edwards, who railed against a bill to abolish child marriage because 16-year-olds are 'ripe and fertile,' and inexplicably because child marriage would make abortion less 'desirable.' And state Rep. Jon Stone, whose record as a former cop came under scrutiny in April when unearthed documents showed he was fired for his alleged sexual relationship with a minor and threatening to carry out a shooting spree at the police station.
'Our state has so much to be proud of,' Ayotte said in a statement about her win. :We are unique in so many ways. And tonight’s victory is a victory for New Hampshire, but it’s also a victory for an even brighter future for the greatest state in the nation.'”

I think it's very sad that so many parents voted for a racist, violent sexual predator because apparently they wanted to make their children's lives worse or something? And now, other people's children's lives feel a whole lot worse, thanks to them.
They didn't do it because they are American and patriotic. No, they did not. The top patriots who are normally conservative were not voting for Trump in this election.
The people who voted for him this time around just did it out of ignorance, or so they could fit in better with the myopic bullies in their community, who also are extremely insensitive about racism and sexism operate in the communities, because that's how myopic bullies are.

No, rescuing a child from a burning building does not make it okay for you to vote for a rapist who's a racist and who's very bad for the children of your country.
No, you're not going to pretend it's okay. You're not going to get away with pretending it's okay.
Pay attention to your parents' wounds. They've been very damaged by the racism and sexism in their own environments. It's been violent. It hasn't been easy for them, either.

I like the time the boy mom gave her, "We don't treat girls and women like s*** in this household!" speech.
She's packing it up in the station wagon and taking him along with her to drive down to that farm and de-louse some kids. There's nothing to be ashamed of. Lots of children from all kinds of backgrounds and cultures get head lice. Why should she want his servant suffering?
"I'm just doing what any good boy mom would do. The Catholic Church raised us with these values."
Not like the ones about lice reminding me of work to death camp survivors...So, how do you deal with violence in workplace situations? Do you think some new strategies would help?
I think when all the girls who pick their food start looking more like them, they might, I don't know, fling a stale potato chip their way or something?
My sister has had to work with violent men just so your spoiled, pampered, narcissistic brothers can someday get off the couch to go pick some potatoes for all the oppressed people who got raised to hold them up, and they were raised to just not care, and to act like they really just do not give a flying fuck about stuff like that.
Just imagine if people began to treat your sad brother like they treat all the unimportant girls who are supposed to cater to their needs, and also so your needs can be best catered to. What do you think that would be like? Why don't you use your imagination?
I think you should act a lot more intelligent about how your Patriarchal Society warped you into being so much worse to certain girls and women. And then, your flaky sister, who got brainwashed into feeling like she could just ditch certain kinds of girls and women (who happen to be the ones you were raised to treat the worst, too, what a coincidence!) will start feeling like she can be better to them now, out of her great loyalty to supporting you.
Your parents getting raised by a Patriarchal Society to get rewards and accolades for being irresponsible, sexist, and chauvinistic against "those kinds of people."
I certainly know she deserved much better.
Those who currently benefit the most from the Patriarchy's systemic biases are society's selfish flaky bros, the ones who apparently just aren't having a good enough day unless someone else is getting squashed and oppressed by their awful survival strategies of routine self-absorption.
Did their fathers go out of their way to raise them to act like chauvinistic assholes? Were their dads like "This is the way you do it, son! You're gonna stamp on others and make your old dad proud! Be sure you find lots of other bullies of both sexes to back you up in your mission of making life so much worse for others!"
It's amazing how much the uncaringness and cruelty of certain people in show business echo the same traits people on the couch narrative entertainment channel known as Fox News. How do they just keep on choosing being awful to others as such a huge part of their everyday routine way of living?
I feel like I had a dream about lice because poor Anne Frank and others suffered with that affliction so much as a result of the cruelty in her society.

How to ask greedy parents why a presidential candidate who has a record of rape is no big deal to them? This isn't your revival meeting where you're forgiving your bad dad's friend or something. This is a person who will be the f****** president of the United States. Maybe you have huge issues you need healed. Just absolutely huge, enormous issues. I think so; I think that must be what it is.
It's like America subconsciously wants to take itself down a notch. That's the kind of low self-esteem America has. America wants a felon guy to drag it down. It's like, they just want to go to church basement and sneak alcohol and get drunk and throw up, and then find Jesus or something.
You need to work on your self-esteem issues like ASAP. Get on it. You've just made a really bad choice that harms your kids, and I'm not impressed.
"Opinion: Trump wins 2024 election. America needs to admit it's not 'better than this.'
We are a country that just elected – that just willfully chose – one of the most cruel, unscrupulous and transparently self-serving political figures in modern history to be president. Again."
Electing icky sexual predator is just such a great opportunity to talk about how badly some women suffer from this deeply internalized misogyny & no, I'm not giving you money.

I think we should pretend we have a nice woman president because we f****** deserve one. And people in this country are assholes. They really are, & a lot of them are parents. There are a lot of a****** parents out there who just don't give a s*** about anyone but themselves. They don't even care that much about their kids, really. Oh my God, I have seen this so many times. The kids actually try to talk to them. The parents are too busy to really listen. They just want them for cute photo ops. God, some parents just suck. Sometimes. Like when they vote for sexual predators, that's one of the times when those parents suck. Yes that is one of those times! Idiots. You're not going to look great. You're not going to look great. I guess you don't care. I guess you just want to fit in with your friends. Whatever. Enjoy your pathetic learning experience when you could be picking something so much better.
Have you ever felt mentally ill, and then you just cried like you didn't actually want to cry, but you just managed to let yourself cry, and then after that happened, you didn't feel as mentally ill anymore. That's lucky!
Mean Girls are the worst, aren't they? But unfortunately, there are some people who are actually worse than Mean Girls. Yes, unfortunately there is that knowledge. Oh my gosh, how can Earth be so f****** awful, but anyways, when you're only thinking about me and girl stuff Mean Girls does seem like kind of the worst cuz, well, it is pretty bad. Is it a joy? Sometimes it might also be like a weird, strange joy. I am glad the universe gave me some interesting stories. I don't always know what to do with them, but I don't mind them. I think that they're around, to educate, for good reasons.
I've decided that life is better when you don't pretend to be positive all the time because that's fake. I don't want to do it. I'm not going to do it. Being positive all the time is just like gatekeeping and glass ceiling stuff. Who needs that? I don't need it. Be positive when you feel positive and the rest of time, be whatever else you're feeling.
Well, maybe instead of making shallow your whole personality, you should work on having layers and, then just do a little sprinkling of shallowness in there to add some sparkle and charm.
Personally, I think having higher standards helps people have better lives. Who cares if they don't want to hear what you say. Say it and know that the expectation is out there. It's a message from the universe. Expect more; expect better.
I feel that giving people the message that girls and women deserve full equality is important and not like just picking out a new pair of shoes to make life seem a little better.
If you have to act sexist to make yourself feel better or fit in with social norms, you should go to therapy and figure out when you decided you needed to be like that and then figure out how to get better. People on earth deserve better than you acting like a sexist spoiled prejudiced against girls troll.
I don't want to be around any more girls who grew up to be bad to girls and women. They are so awful & act like misogyny is their pacifier or self-soothing tool or something. It is really sick.
Such draining little prejudiced habits they repeat over and over. It creates bad environments for the boys, too. There are boys suffer when girls get treated badly by them, too. They act like horrible people who abuse children and make them cry for no good reason.
Very bad experiences.
