I want to get better at learning when I am here to learn.

There's a lot of things that this body does not let me go along with in this lifetime. Even if it's okay for other people and other bodies to do it, for some reason mine's different. Instead of feeling bad about that, I want to learn how to respect what I have inherited and get better at learning what I am here to learn.

Accept some healing and good energy for yourself and your body 😊🙏🏼🕊️

Sometimes, it's like some people are sleeping and they don't want to wake up yet. And it's not possible for you to be in the same place or mindset they're in. And what you have to do is meet whatever place you're in, and ask the universe for help with the healing your body is telling you that you need now. You're here to learn that you deserve to be able to accept good healing for yourself, too.

Surely there could be energies in the universe that are helpful for someone who wants to learn how to get better.

You still deserve to feel good even if you're wired differently and felt sensitive even if you felt like you needed to get angry to defend yourself. But the anger will burn out, and then you will need to learn how to really take much better care of yourself. It's time to be good and kind and nice to the sensitive and vulnerable parts, both the physical and the emotional ones.

I'm going to get better at listening to what I need to do for my.

Now I have to take really good care of my body Because pain has come into my body. And I want to take care of that because I don't enjoy pain.

I am also beginning to feel that it's important to acknowledge that part of taking really good care of my body is I have to move on from some things. 

There's some people who behave in ways that seem insensitive, and perhaps bullying and perhaps immature. 

And sometimes that can really hurt. 

And the angry response can make a body tired. And then you just have to realize people have their own responses for their own reasons. And sometimes you have to move on and let them learn whatever it is they need to learn, and in the meanwhile you also need to learn how to be nicer and better to yourself and your body and to your health. 

Sometimes people unconsciously imitate patterns that got role modeled for them and maybe they figured out ways to think that this is what works for them, or what will protect them, etc. But it doesn't look healthy enough for you and your body to go along with those ways. So you have to acknowledge that your body is telling you to choose a different way.

Maybe I found some happy news!?

It's buried under ads; I'll see if I can get to it.

"California Invests $11 Million to Expand Career Opportunities for Farmworkers"

Creepy.

They shouldn't be too hasty.

Someone still has to feed the callous and uncaring.

"Pasadena Unified, County, State Offices Closed, But City of Pasadena Open for Cesar Chavez Day"

Ahhh...that could really be true, too.

Maybe you also deserve a much better life!

How did some people get so weird?

"Maybe this year when we commemorate the life of César Chávez on March 31, we might take some time to add a bit of realism to what we’re talking about in terms of food on our tables and farm laborers’ livelihood. We are the ones, not the farmworkers, who benefit from their labor. They sustain our lives, while barely supporting their own families.

I could quote the Scriptures or cite learned writings and eloquent speeches of our political leaders of the past (and some of the present), but we all know them already. They are not unknown or strange to us. The problem is that we let our less-than-noble instincts get the better of us and continue to abuse the people who support our lives."

~ Jim Harrington 

"What would César Chávez say..."

https://www.statesman.com/story/opinion/columns/your-voice/2025/03/31/when-is-cesar-chavez-day-2025-farmworkers-plight-rights-today-opinion/82673195007/

You would like to eat food on a holiday?

"No one seriously doubts that the agriculture industry would crash were it not for the tens of thousands of immigrants working long days in the hot sun, bent over, and climbing rickety ladders to harvest the food we buy for our tables.

Were that crash to happen, it would take a millisecond to reverse and rearrange our laws to ensure that we had enough food to eat and at a reasonable price.

There is a double whammy at play here. Not only is the current war on immigrant farmworkers irrational, but it is also a mechanism for agribusiness to doubly exploit workers and suppress their wages even more. People living in constant fear of being deported are willing to work for even less to support their kids. That is not fair or just."

Who deserves better? Them too.

Just because you have met some immature, unwell people who got taught that treating "x types of people" as "less than" is what constitutes "normal behavior" doesn't mean that you're also supposed to go along with their programming.

Society suffers.

People who normalized treating girls and women as "less than" to fit into their family systems suffer.

What if some people got healthier?

People who did not have to suffer as much from the brutal effects and abusive actions of the patriarchal people who devalued girls and women and acted like men and  money and property are what's most important may be fortunate in some ways, but still, some of them could be so much better to themselves and to others.

I guess simplifying things is important.

How are you going to thank all those children and parents whose labor made the generosity of a few possible?

Why does Google only think the richest guys are "generous people" in March 2025?

 Uh, WOE or WOW?



What happens when you type "generous people" in the search bar...is interesting.

Fantastic to be reminded of that in this lifetime.

Even those people who got warped by the patriarchal systems to be a whole lot worse to girls and women than they actually needed to be in this lifetime could still change for the better before they die.

Enjoyed some potatoes and lettuce and carrots today!

"Farmers feed the world. Roughly 85% of the nation's fresh fruits and vegetables are handpicked by an estimated 2.5–3 million men, women, and children working in U.S. fields.

Farm work is dangerous. Farmworkers suffer the highest rate of toxic chemical injuries and face greater risks of heat stress, dermatitis, UTIs, parasitic infections, and tuberculosis than other workers.

Farmworkers are denied equal protection. The Fair Labor Standards Act mandates minimum wage only for large farms—and still ignores overtime."

Oh, well. At least that's good.

At least there are lots of middle class people who can still afford to do middle class people stuff. Maybe not as many as there used to be, but...

Maybe they can watch 'White Louts' at a friend's house?

"Many of us live in cramped apartments, sometimes with multiple families sharing small spaces just to make ends meet. Many families are forced to rent living rooms just to have a place to stay.

I pay $2,500 for a small studio for my family of four. There’s no privacy, no space to relax or even enjoy a meal together without feeling cramped.

Between rent, utilities, car payments, phone bills, and basic necessities, the financial strain is overwhelming."

"White Lotus" is on again tonight!

People who have less money and fewer possessions are not put on Earth to be treated like garbage on account of the greediness and cowardice of others.

I don't think the "greed is great and girls are garbage" cult mentality is good enough for humanity.

Going along with greediness and dehumanizing others so you can fit in with the "normal" people is good enough?

Indulging in bullying behaviors as a way to deal with problems in life is good enough? 

How do you get enough energy to go about your day in the 21st century?

What if your country is still too racist?

“'In arrests across the country, the Trump Administration and ICE have claimed that they are going after 'the worst of the worst' — but there is no indication that Alfredo Juarez Zeferino and the other people detained today represent the worst of the worst,' Larsen said in the release.

Well, I guess they have their reasons for acting like greedy, entitled, disrespectful bullies.

What are those reasons?

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/vance-and-wife-to-tour-u-s-military-base-in-greenland-after-diplomatic-spat-over-uninvited-visit

People have reasons for making the choices they make.

However, just because some people got convinced that going along with some other untrustworthy, greedy, immature people would bring them more materialistic gains or financial prosperity does not also make it a viable choice for you, and the violence of some people has also made that very clear.

Bizarre stuff.

There are some people who got convinced by an unwell, imbalanced patriarchal society that acting like uncaring materialistic bullies is still what feels best or like it's the most "normal" to them. They seem to need to rely on being blatantly prejudiced and disrespectful to other kinds of people in order to feel better about themselves.

They also seem to think that everyone else should also go along whatever a violent patriarchal society says, to the point where they would tell others to expose themselves to needless danger.

They are not okay.

https://abc7.com/post/vietnamese-father-husband-fountain-valley-resident-is-held-detention-center-being-detained-ice/16088116/

Do what you can!

Pet a cat, and love something about nature! 

Next, make some tea.

Well, that's another thing to consider.

The unwell patriarchy wants to trick people into feeling entitled to behave like bad actors, as if that's the best they can possibly do for themselves, but how could such a way of life last forever for anybody?

No, not good, actually.

The "Greed is good and girls are garbage" mentality that some mean people seem to carry around with them is some real unhealthy cult-like stuff that some people got materialistically rewarded for going along with.

How does a human being know how to have a good life?

Possessions are like cocaine to some people. Their property is their bottle of whiskey. They also seem to need to be around other people who are addicted to similar kinds things in order to feel well, and yet, do they ever actually seem to feel okay? (Oh yes, I just had three drinks, and now I feel great!)

I like having socks and shoes.

I also like being able to enjoy the company of people who do not feel they need to discriminate against others in order to make themselves feel, I don't know, "better than" other people, or something???

Isn't it wonderful to have access to resources in this life.

But how could everyone possibly be equally materialistic and exclusionary if the system is definitely not set up to support that greedy way of life for everybody?

Ha, behold women being articulate.

“There is purpose in protecting the most vulnerable, in informing the most marginalized, in helping each other.”

~ Leia Bamasi, an FSU College of Law student. Quoted by FSU Law student Hannah Robinson.

"Let’s stop neglecting the year-long value of farmworkers in Florida"

I guess the universe knows a lot of people really do deserve better lives.

Sometimes I really wish I didn't have to know how warped some people got by patriarchal society's negligence and bullying and materialistic and exclusionary practices. Maybe if I get better at accepting that different people are in different stages of development, it would be kinder and nicer to my body, too.

Blessed by good presences.

I get upset about things, but I can remember to feel grateful that I get to live with a really good, great guy and a really good, great kitty cat, too.

People who got trained to neglect themselves are traumatized.

Becoming one of those materialistic and cold people who act like bullying or shutting out others is the best way to get through life because some other people's imbalanced and unwell behaviors convinced you that it was the best you could do to take care of yourself looks more like another form of self-neglect than it looks like it is good self-care.

Or "When they came..."

"First They Came" (German: Als sie kamen lit. 'When they came', or Habe ich geschwiegen lit. 'I did not speak out'), is the poetic form of a 1946 post-war confessional prose piece by the German Lutheran pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984). It is about the silent complicity of German intellectuals and clergy following the Nazis' rise to power and subsequent incremental purging of their chosen targets. Many variations and adaptations in the spirit of the original have been published in the English language."

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_They_Came

This also sounds like some very traumatizing stuff.

"But in 2003, - my ninth year in the United States - something unexpected happened: upon arriving at JFK airport, I was taken to a small room and told I had been added to a Muslim watchlist (similar to the one Trump enacted in 2017).

The reason? I was an immigrant from Malaysia, a primarily Muslim country. As a result, I couldn’t board a flight or get off a plane without being subjected to three-hour-long interviews. I even had to report in to the government every 28 days. I was living in a constant state of stress, dread, and anger - and before long Kristina and I reluctantly relocated ourselves and Mindvalley to Malaysia.

I remember one particularly emotional moment when Kristina and I wondered if our future kids - who’d be mixed race - would ever have to endure this hardship too. This painful experience triggered another of my biggest missions in life: to break down the unnecessary walls that divide humanity, so we can instead unite and co-create in our beautiful diversity."

"When 'The patriarchal society wanted you to have compassion for certain categories of children' met 'But the patriarchal society really wanted you to act like certain shallow rich guys are your most valuable and favorite kinds of children.'"

I need to be more focused on healing my body.

I need to get really good at being focused on healing because my body requires that I get better at it no matter how others are choosing to deal with their circumstances based on systemic and societal manipulation.

Rich people suffering is special.

I had a disturbing dream which reminded me that there are still a number of childish "grown-ups" who got roped into acting like they think they need to be more focused on materialistic possessions than they need to acknowledge the humanity of their fellow human beings, and it's disappointing, and they can be a really difficult group of people to deal with. But I guess they're doing the coping mechanism of being the way their society wants them to be in order to survive their reality for the time being.

Ah, freedom.

"I didn't grow up with any feminists in my family" feels like it is the truth, and it feels good to say it, although it's not comforting.

Treating small-minded men who got warped by their society's patriarchal values as if they are better than everyone else, and acting like it's only worth considering the small number of women and girls who got more rewarded for going along with those shallow societal "norms" in exchange for some paltry, mediocre benefits from the imbalanced patriarchal culture, just felt like a very cold and greedy and unnecessary way of life to follow, and it is NOT FEMINISM.

There's a reason it didn't feel good enough to go along with that stuff. It wasn't good for you. It wasn't good for your genetics. It was literally too unhealthy for your actual body to be sustainable or good for you.

Perhaps their definition of what is "normal" can still change in this lifetime, for some people.

Some people would have treated you better if you were a brutal, greedy man with more money and property in this life, simply because that's how their culture operates, and that's what their culture trained them to do.

People deserve much better than bullying or being bullied.

But it's so temporary, though.

Crabby crabby crabby!

I feel more sorry for my shirts that I chewed on.

The disappointment wouldn't exist if better things weren't possible.

The very unwell patriarchy just wants everyone to either act like a selfish patriarch, or an honorary selfish patriarch (almost as entitled to dehumanize others as the most uncaring patriarchal person within the vicinity), or else be a loyal supporter of a selfish patriarch / the unwell patriarchy.

Good changes can happen for good reasons.

If your parents or the people who raised you didn't give you the tools to be a lot better to all kinds of human beings, then maybe you should start looking for some places where you can find them.

How on Earth could everyone accept that as being good enough for them?

So what if the patriarchy wanted you to not care about yourself or your humanity, or to act like the women who show the most favoritism towards men are the "better" and "most acceptable" kinds?

If everyone else jumped off a bridge, would you?

So what if your Patriarchal culture still wants you to repeat a "greed is good and girls are garbage" mentality, and it says it will reward you more if you just go along with the other people who went along with that messaging?

Perhaps there are better ways to remember.

"From childhood, like many of us growing up in the U.S., she had been taught that if she got good grades, worked hard and did the right thing, she would prosper. But she learned from her family and the Black community that there were systemic factors and biases — often superseding merit and hard work — that determined who got to achieve material success and who didn’t. After all, Hersey was constantly working and still barely keeping the lights on."

~ Kelundra Smith

"The Power of Naps"

https://news.emory.edu/features/2023/07/emag-power-of-naps-13-07-23/index.html

"'The idea of connecting your worth to how much you get done and the socialization and brainwashing of grinding starts at birth,' Hersey says. “In ‘Rest Is Resistance,’ I talk about my son, and how the culture teaches us to ignore our bodies as children. Perfectionism is a tenant of white supremacy work culture. It has us all in a chokehold.”

Those values are not good enough for us.

Harsh lessons from the patriarchal society:

It wants people to be self-absorbed and to act like focusing on materialistic possessions is far more important than treating people well. 

It convinces them that it's more "positive" to go along with whatever certain abusive people are doing, and it tells them to rewrite history to suit themselves. 

Going along with dehumanizing other kinds of people who are different from them begins to seem like the normal way to go about life. 

And then, anyone who doesn't go along with this behavior or points out the inequity gets penalized or punished, for some reason.

Those are not good values to live by. If you need to get along with others, and they act that way, that's not the best cult for you.

Isn't it good to know that you can still ask the universe to send healing energies your way?

When waking up feeling tense, you can still ask the universe to help the body feel more healing energies. Some people live like they're in a cult and you can't apparently please them if you don't adhere to their cult dynamics. However, there must still be healing energies that are accessible, and you can ask the universe for help with accessing them.

Certain aspects of society can really warp some people's thinking and their ability to make decisions.

Some people who decided to go along with some really terrible behaviors and act like materialistic possessions are more important than human beings seem so unwell to me right now. I feel like saying, this is not only mean to other people. This is you being mean to yourself, too.

How I learned that in the 1880s the age of consent for marriage was 10!

"FLORENCE FOSTER JENKINS" |  Queen Of The Night

https://youtube.com/watch?v=usOt7W8Lw6E&si=mTpVUdxLM8lA6XF_

Apparently, her father wouldn't let her study music, and at the age of 14, she married a doctor who gave her syphilis!

"Florence Foster Jenkins" - Wikipedia

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence_Foster_Jenkins

"After graduating from high school, her hopes of studying music in Europe were dashed when her father refused permission and funding. On July 11, 1883, ten days after the funeral of her sister and eight days before her 15th birthday, Foster married Dr. Francis Thornton Jenkins (1852–1917), a physician 16 years her senior, in Philadelphia. (In the 1880s, the age of consent for marriage in Pennsylvania was ten.[11]) The following year, after learning that she had contracted syphilis from her husband, she ended their relationship and reportedly never spoke of him again. Years later, she claimed to have been granted a divorce decree on March 24, 1902, although no documentation of any such ruling has been found.[18] She retained the Jenkins surname for the remainder of her life."

And then she had syphilis for the rest of her life?

"The question of whether "Lady Florence"—as she liked to be called, and often signed her autographs[20]—was in on the joke, or honestly believed she had vocal talent, remains a matter of debate. On the one hand, she compared herself favorably with renowned sopranos Frieda Hempel and Luisa Tetrazzini, and seemed oblivious to the abundant audience laughter during her performances.[29] Her loyal friends endeavored to disguise the laughter with cheers and applause; they often described her technique to curious inquirers in "intentionally ambiguous" terms. For example, "her singing at its finest suggests the untrammeled swoop of some great bird".[30] Favorable articles and bland reviews, published in specialty music publications such as The Musical Courier, were most likely written by her friends or herself.[13] "I would say that she maybe didn't know [how badly she sang]," said mezzo-soprano Marilyn Horne. "We can't hear ourselves as others hear us." Nerve damage due to syphilis and its treatment (see below) may have physically compromised her hearing as well.[27]

On the other hand, Jenkins refused to open her performances to the general public, and was clearly aware of her detractors. "People may say I can't sing," she once remarked to a friend, "but no one can ever say I didn't sing."[5] She dismissed her original accompanist, Edwin McArthur, after catching him giving her audience "a knowing smile" during a performance.[31] She went to great lengths to control access to her private recitals, which took place at her apartment, in small clubs, and each October at the Verdi Club's annual "Ball of the Silver Skylarks" in the Ritz-Carlton Hotel's Grand Ballroom. Attendance, by personal invitation only, was restricted to her loyal clubwomen and a select few others. Jenkins handled distribution of the coveted tickets herself, carefully excluding strangers, particularly music critics.[13] "There's no way she could not have known," said Schuman. "No one is that unaware ... she loved the audience reaction and she loved singing. But she knew."[27]

Despite her careful efforts to insulate her singing from public exposure, a majority of critics favored the view that Jenkins's self-delusion was genuine. "At that time Frank Sinatra had started to sing, and the teenagers used to faint during his notes and scream," McMoon told an interviewer. "So she thought she was producing the same kind of an effect."[27] "Florence didn't think she was pulling anyone's leg," said opera historian Albert Innaurato. "She was compos mentis, not a lunatic. She was a very proper, complex individual."[20] As an anonymous obituary writer later put it, "Her ears, schooled in constant introversion, heard only the radiant tones which never issued forth to quell the mirth of her audiences."[22]

People deserve to feel good.

When some people act self-absorbed, it's probably because something or several things in their environment taught them that they need to keep their focus very narrow in order to obtain a much-needed dopamine fix. Maybe they're just trying to feel better. However, over time, it becomes really clear that certain kinds of behaviors are not going to work out equally well for everybody, and that they're not sustainable enough behavior patterns for everyone to keep on repeating in the long run.

It's time to feel much better.

What you're upset about is that from a very young age, you were put in a culture that wanted you to go along with some people who clearly did not have your best interest in mind and they were not safe people to be around. 

They acted like certain types of people were more important than others, made excuses for abusive behaviors, and valued money and property over the well-being of fellow human beings. 

Now it is time to learn more about what a better way of being in the world can feel like, and how to help your body feel safer and more healed again.

What are their values?

Sometimes I feel amazed by how much a very Patriarchal, materialistic culture can convince some people that discriminating against different types of people and repeating old behavior patterns is what's in their best interest.

His so-called concern is doubted.

"When the Trump administration is telling German politicians to abandon their post-Holocaust commitment to keeping far-right extremists out of government, and appointing officials with long histories of spreading antisemitic conspiracy theories to high office, my students across the political spectrum doubt that Donald Trump and his administration are serious about fighting antisemitism. Rather, they see a government using the pretext of fighting antisemitism to destroy the foundations of the liberal arts education that all my students, despite wide political differences, cherish and value.

And that, in turn, makes them less likely to want to speak up at all, even when they do have legitimate concerns about antisemitism on campus.

Contrary to what the Trump administration seems to think, I have seen my students in class have productive, sensitive discussions about the complicated histories of the Israeli and Palestinian national movements, and how these histories resound today. I have seen them disagree respectfully, engaging with and learning from each other. But they are less likely to do that if they fear an errant word could be taken up by national politicians and turned against the college as a whole."

People voted for a man who bullies and persecutes children and women and girls and men and boys and anyone who doesn't bend to his will.

The patriarchy wants people to be ignorant and uncaring, and too self-absorbed to be concerned about children getting bullied and persecuted.

Is it time to upgrade yet?

I wish some more of the fragile and immature not-so-wise middle-aged and older people, who I would trust no more than a drunk person at a fraternity party, based on their choices, actions, values and behavior patterns, would start getting better at acting like all kinds of human beings are actually valuable to society. Including the people that an extremely unwell president who wants to be a dictator is so violently and blatantly racist and sexist against. They couldn't even have the energy to discriminate and act like self-absorbed narcissistic bullies towards the "less valuable" ones if their basic needs weren't getting met by the labor of others.

This was kind of nice and fun and relaxing.

 "The connection between German industrialists and Nazi leaders—until recently a grossly overlooked aspect in World War II studies—resembles the relationship that’s currently developing in the U.S. between MAGA Republicans and big tech CEOs, Silicon Valley elites and hedge fund moguls like Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, the latter of whom not only facilitated Trump’s return to the presidency in part through his donations (and ownership of the social media platform X), but has since obtained a key role in the White House."

That essay did not go over well.

And I feel like there are some middle-aged and older people that are really kind of acting as if they're in another era of lives. Like, a much younger version of themselves is coming out a lot more lately.

I'm grateful for any healing progress.

I woke up sick but I'm starting to get a little bit better and I'm grateful for that.

Patriarchal society has a very rigid view of what is an acceptable human being.

Beware of people whose own nervous systems are so frazzled by a lifetime of their own trauma and conditioning that they will discriminate against you and others, perhaps accidentally, but it's not healthy at all to do so.

It's also not okay to act like only the rich white guys with property are the most important humans and that they get carte blanche for abusive behaviors while everyone else is supposed to accommodate their needs.

"This video is for daughters who matured very young"

https://youtube.com/shorts/4-NJ5yMvn0Y?si=o-tDYh2RxNsln1jJ

I can feel it's not good to have health setbacks.

I need to figure out how I can help my body heal.

Are they even mad? No.

I bet none of the spirits of my dead ancestors are even mad at me. Some of them probably reincarnated into different bodies. They might be better people now. Less materialistic and less shallow and better at respecting other human beings.

But only on the surface of it.

The Cult of Patriarchal White Supremacy is much worse for certain kinds of children than it is for certain kinds of greedy, childish, uncaring, immature adults who didn't get their needs met in childhood. Maybe that's why they act the way they do.

Regardless of who they voted for?

Maybe the shallow, greedy, materialistic, sexist, racist, bullying jerk in charge of things is just matching the energy of a lot of unwell people who got warped by choosing the behaviors that patriarchal white supremacy wanted them to replicate.

Sometimes people are callous jerks.

Their values were materialistic and selfish. They acted like greedy bullies who literally would have valued me more if I had acquired more money and property and made just as many excuses for sexism and racism as they did. They got brainwashed into going along with that stuff so they could have more money and property.

They did not have any help to offer, because you were unable to go along with their brainwashed ways. It was a bad experience to realize they chose to replicate old unhealthy patterns and you could never actually rely on them because they got so materialistically rewarded by the system for aligning themselves with some very shallow, unwell values. But those were not good values that could be passed on to help others. 

But some wise people have helped me.

I should remember the good friend who said to ask spirit to help with burdens. Please spirit, help heal to help my body get more healed.

It's sad and one can cry and checks are hot and body needs to heal.

Even some of the so-called liberal people acted like property and money were more important than human rights, and they were brainwashed into being more tolerant of racism and sexism and discrimination in exchange for materialistic gains.

Control issues can warp everything.

It's weird when some people choose to castigate you for the qualities they supposedly admire in others. Maybe they will become less scary in the future, but who knows if or when that will actually happen.

No, they were not okay.

It's a scary time because some people will shock you with a level of uncaringness that seems to now be how they normally are, and they weren't like that before. 

It seems like there were forces in their environment which trained them to be too unreliable and prejudiced. When they act mean and untrustworthy, it really doesn't feel good at all.

But at least there's a nice person and a cat nearby, so that's good.

Not everyone's survival mode can be the same, either.

It's really hard when you feel like some people who used to seem more understanding just stopped being that way. 

It seems like they felt they really needed things to be a certain way, to the point where it feels like it's impossible to go along with their programs, and it feels so dishonest.

It's like they choose a path that it is impossible for you to ever follow. And then they can't accept you if you don't live their way, which to you feels like a huge lie, and this is what feels so tragic, actually.

That is why sometimes people reincarnate and  live new lives, because then they can actually see new perspectives.

But it definitely doesn't feel very respectful for them to ransack all your stuff like that. Nope, not one bit. It's almost like it's kind of a metaphorical dream.

Well! I guess it is also celebrated there.

"St. Patrick's Day festivities taking place across Northern Ireland"

I think I have been told in the past that in Ireland they don't care that much about St. Patrick's Day, but that may not be the case everywhere.

Shallowness can be used as a coping mechanism.

There are many times when people have used it as such. But sometimes, using shallowness as a shield is not particularly brave or admirable.

People can and should expect much better treatment than this.

"The latest incident involves 28-year-old Welsh artist Rebecca Burke, who was handcuffed and detained when attempting to re-enter the country in Washington after being turned away by Canadian border officials, according to her father, Paul Burke. In a plea for help on Facebook, he said that his daughter was denied entry into Canada due to 'an incorrect visa' and was refused re-entry and classified as an 'illegal alien' by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

'Despite being a tourist with no criminal record, she was handcuffed and taken to a detention facility in Tacoma, Washington,' he wrote in the March 8 post. She has remained in detention since, sharing a cell and 'surviving on a diet of cold rice, potatoes, and beans' with limited phone call access and 'no clear timeline for her release,' he added."

"Take the case of 11-year-old Jocelynn Rojo Carranza, who died by suicide after classmates threatened to report her family to Ice. Her death is a reminder that Trump’s immigration agenda doesn’t just empower officers to enforce the law – it emboldens ordinary people to act as enforcers themselves. By stripping away critical safeguards like the Sensitive Locations Memorandum, the government is sanctioning a culture of fear where teachers, neighbors and even classmates feel justified in weaponizing deportation. This turns immigration status into a tool of exclusion – one that doesn’t just separate families but erodes the very institutions meant to serve and protect communities."

I suppose such dreams exist for a number of reasons.

🏡Discourages imagination

🏡Encourages perfectionism
🏡Scarcity mindset

Such strange dynamics can make even the people who supposedly benefit the most from white supremacy feel angry and resentful.

Stereotypes. Why?

"Whites are stereotyped to be racist, greedy, materialistic and prejudiced against other cultures."

"Stereotypes of white Americans" - Wikipedia

I had a dream about raids happening.

Well, the dreams reminded me that it seems like most Irish Americans don't need to be told to carry around their birth certificates or be worried that Irish-themed businesses are going to be targeted by ICE raids as much as some other Americans are being encouraged to worry or think about such things in 2025.

Happy Diaspora Day

Sweet green dreams!

What a beautiful spring day!

It was also depressing, but "How to take pictures of pretty moments when life is rough and PTSD and serious illnesses are impacting lives" mode was on, and then a friend told you to ask a higher power to help you with those burdens, and also you got a nap and some food.

Sciencey.

It's a celebration.

"'Everyone Is Welcome Here' shirts to be worn March 24 in support of Idaho teacher

A local resident organized a T-shirt campaign to support an Idaho school district teacher who was told to remove classroom posters promoting inclusivity."

I will never understand how this seemed like a good idea.

Thanks, God. 🙏🏼🌞🙏🏽🩷🙏🏿O Merciful Lord of Everybody.

God must really love the poor people a lot more than most of the rich people seem to want to. Thank you, Lord!

Good thing you have enough food.

How could you even have the energy to prop up icky patriarchal cult dynamics without proper nutrition.

Imagine how much better humans could be if the Patriarchal People didn't feel the need to be so greedy?

“'We are finding exploitative conditions that are unique for women farmworkers around issues of sexual harassment, exposures during pregnancy, challenges with obtaining and having access to proper hygiene and sanitation, particularly during menstruation, and also really important aspects of work-life balance and child care issues that women farmworkers in particular face,' Handal said."

I need to get the universe's help so I can have a cocoon of healing.

I didn't realize I would feel so awful this morning. I need to make a cocoon of healing for myself.

Just starting to take better care of yourself is already a great first step.

How to leave a cult or a culture or a cold society of quite unwell people who treat all kinds of girls and women terribly and they expect or want you to act like the most selfish jerks are far more important than all the other kinds of human beings on this planet? I saw this thing that went on for, like, five times longer than this online. And man, I really hope more people just get that stuff out of their system soon and start actually expecting better.


How hard can it possibly be to expect better? 
It's not that hard. Children of all ages, including the wounded adults who sometimes resort to acting like little children, can expect better. They deserve better.
