It's just so blatant!!!!
"Rubio says white South Africans 'assimilate' easier when questioned about program" : NPR
Who feels the most loved, and why?
"Disappointment and a pervasive feeling of broken-heartedness led me to begin thinking more deeply about the meaning of love in our culture. My longing to find love did not make me lose my sense of reason or perspective; it gave me the incentive to think more, to talk about love, and to study popular and more serious writing on the subject. As I poured over non-fiction books on the subject of love, I was surprised to find the vast majority of the revered books, ones used as reference works and even those popular as self-help books, have been written by men. All my life I have thought of love as primarily a topic women contemplate with greater intensity and vigor than anybody else on the planet. I still hold this belief even though visionary female thinking on the subject has yet to be taken as seriously as the thoughts and writings of men. Men theorize about love, but women are more often love's practitioners. Most men feel that they receive love and therefore know what it feels like to be loved. Women often feel we are in a constant state of yearning, wanting love but not receiving it."

All About Love: New Visions by bell hooks | Goodreads
O the annoyingness!
"When I talked of love with my generation, I found it made everyone nervous or scared, especially when I spoke about not feeling loved enough. On several occasions as I talked about love with friends, I was told I should consider seeing a therapist. I understood that a few friends were simply weary of my bringing up the topic of love and felt that if I saw a therapist it would give them a break. But most folks were just frightened of what might be revealed in any exploration of the meaning of love in our lives.
Yet whenever a single woman over 40 brings up the topic of love, again and again the assumption, rooted in sexist thinking, is that she is desperate for a man. No one thinks she is simply passionately intellectually interested in the subject matter. No one thinks she is rigorously engaged in philosophical undertaking wherein she is endeavoring to understand the metaphysical meaning of love in everyday life. No, she is just seen as on the road to 'fatal attraction.'"

Actually maybe it is good when people work with imagery
Like the kind of imagery of things that you want to happen or would be happy to enjoy, even if that stuff didn't necessarily happen when you would have wanted it to. The really good, enjoyable, happy things. The things that make human hearts light up. Some people got very challenging situations to navigate at a very young age in this life.
The first step to getting better is admitting the problem!
Anyways, being shallow and selfish and ignoring others' suffering sometimes is a very common ailment in humanity. Lots and lots of people have had this problem. It really is nothing new. But as you get in touch with your more sensitive side, because you start to expect more out of a human existence, feeling the effects of the shallowness and selfishness and suffering hurts! If more people want to heal, they can help each other out a lot more.
It's very shallow and selfish to look away from suffering sometimes.

I hope the dreams about the effects this is having on the ones in "differently-abled" bodies come very soon!
Because I think when people learn things from dreams and books and movies, that's so much kinder than having to go through awful things in real life like genocide, or having to be around shallow people who go along with the very harmful behaviors just because it's what seems like it's best for them at the time.

No, you didn't have to do that, but you did it anyway, because the patriarchy trained you to be a tool.

You're bad at caring about women and girls and so are a lot of your male and female friends. I don't know why you need to have friends like that. Oh, maybe because it's you have low self-esteem and you need shallow and self-serving female and male friends who treat men with preference all the goddamn f****** time or you just don't feel like you're having a normal experience of life that day.

You know what I find really funny actually???
People are so brainwashed by patriarchal rape culture that they would rather do anything then talk about it. Like they would rather I take off my clothes and dance naked or behave like a really stupid person who sucks up to abusive men. It's like those are some of the things they would really enjoy me doing, rather than trying to talk about something that's important and that we should fix. If I ran off and didn't do the mature let's talk about it first thing and cheated on my husband, that would be delightful to people like them. Jesus, these people are assholes. They are really messed up. I hope their children do a better job than they did with the whole respecting the bodily autonomy of girls and women thing, because a lot of things are getting really intense for lots of the daughters of this nation right now, and they're talking about it more than they ever did before, too. Because why wouldn't they, when rights are being taken away from them that their mothers enjoyed.
Sadly, some shallow parents are all to eager to demonstrate this.
Sexiness is really important to the shallow, immature Patriarchal parents who were trained to pander to rape culture in exchange for some rather temporary payoffs.
Sexiness is seeming so important to them, that they appear to need the most disenfranchised by rape culture daughters in our society to continuously be completely disrespected by people like them.
I don't know why they get so high off of this disturbing behavior. I think it might be something about how their Patriarchal role models instilled in sexism in them at a tender age, and it makes me want to throw up.
It kind of seems like a mental illness. One induced by The Patriarchy, of course.
It's both fascinating and amazing how unkind and unhealthy an addiction to shallowness feels.
Thank you for teaching me that.
"Were you aware that being shallow could be more addictive to a human psyche than heroin? Have you ever tried to help a heroin addict? But kudos to the heroin addicts who weaned themselves off their addiction."
Of course, I would love it if shallowness didn't kill the especially abled. But what can you do if that's what others want?
Shallowness seems to be the hill that some are willing to die on, like Custer's Last Stand, perhaps.

Of course it's not an isolated case.
Still, I can't believe how much sexism and selfishness and white supremacist patriarchal cult behaviors can come out of one little region of the U.S.
It's very tragic because they're capable of much better.
They're capable of so much better, but they don't want to care about that, because they've tried to arrange things so that they will get maximal rewards in exchange for minimal amounts of respect for others. I guess that's just a survival strategy for some people. I don't know why some people end up like that. Did their dads role model weird patriarchal s*** and tell them to be more insensitive and patriarchal like them, possibly?
The unwell community is still too unwell and mean and that is why.

It has a positive account of a refugee experience.

"'Am I ten yet?' asked Anna. Papa looked at his watch.
'Ten years old exactly.' He hugged her. 'Happy, happy birthday, and very many happy returns!'
And just as he said it the boat's lights came on. There was only a sprinkling of white bulbs round the rails which left the deck almost as dark as before, but the cabin suddenly glowed yellow and at the back of the boat the ship's lantern shone a brilliant purply-blue.
'Isn't it lovely!' cried Anna, and somehow, suddenly, she no longer minded about her birthday and her presents. It seemed rather fine and adventurous to be a refugee, to have no home and not to know where one was going to live. Perhaps at a pinch it might even count as a difficult childhood like the ones in Gunther's book and she would end up by being famous.
As the boat streamed back to Zurich, she snuggled up to Papa and they watched the blue light from the ship's lantern trailing through the dark water behind them.
"' I think I might quite like being a refugee,' said Anna."

And you know what? When I read books, people are a lot kinder to the spunky, awkward girls sometimes.
Like a lot of other people, I liked reading those stories where the spunky girl speaks out. But I know why people don't speak out about the abuse that happened in your families.
Because some of your families are filled with emotionally immature jerks who are going to treat you like crap if you try to have any truthful conversations with them about anything of importance. They will disown you, but they won't actually say they'll disown you. They'll just freeze you out.
And now you're like an honorary unseen immigrant who's supposed to wait on assholes like them all your all their lives and just remain unseen and in the shadows and grateful for the opportunity to serve their myopic, selfish egos.
Which is really just masking a lot of pain that they're not really ready to look at but that's too bad because some of us are being forced to look at it now. Not later. Not in the next life.
And some of us don't have a bunch of houses and land to comfort us and remind us that we did a good job and we played by the rules the right way. And we're "successful" now.
Meanwhile, what's happening to the value of the girls and women in this collapsing patriarchy? What are the men in charge doing right now?
And good for us for making excuses for the sexual predator dads who are always more important than all the daughters you guys don't want to think about. Really? Because The Patriarchy hates it so much when you have feelings and think about people like that. Why? Why is it so?
I will make a good guess about why this one is in my head now.
It's either because there were boys in the bar (when I used to work next to one) and they had feelings too...

It's hard when you've got a lot of trauma to heal. It is.
And I'm sorry about it. But also, when people who haven't healed from the misogynistic messages that got pushed into their brains at an early age act like they are not very truthful or trustworthy because they have a need to repeat old patterns, to fit in with other people who also haven't healed, that gets like, a very unhinged and unbalanced kind of scary. Why are still you letting f****** patriarchal programming ruin things? Is that for the rest of this life? Seriously?

People need to want to heal and address their issues. Don't have to be perfect. Just have the gumption.
The sad thing about the fascism is that it's happening because it's within the people. And the most vulnerable humans in society suffer the most immediate consequences. And it's hard for the more sensitive people to know about that right now. It's feeling very hurtful, very much of the time.
They can't all be like Otto Frank, right?
Drastic things are happening and I thought the artistic people would want to address the things and grow and change for real. Not just act like, I don't know, self-obsessed party animals... Oh and the worst thing is when you say something like that because then they just act out and exaggerate their behaviors even more, just like little children. Just like children who never grew up. Real world adults with responsibilities and land ownership and mortgages and everything, and they're still childish.
Sometimes wonder if there's just a lack of...I mean a deficit of...I mean...
I hope some people's peculiarly Patriarchal ways seem really worth it to them because I think they look very silly and like they're kind of settling for less than what they could be choosing right now. I think my heart hurts about it sometimes, too.

I'm kind of on a "change is most possible after you get it all out of your system" Journey. Just think of everything that you thought was possible when you knew less. Then you learned harsh lessons and seemed to know too much and then you struggled with the knowledge. But I don't know why, but some of the knowledge doesn't seem quite as heavy of a burden to carry now????
Perhaps it is worthwhile to raise the standards for what you believe is good behavior.
Also, I know that no matter what you do, sometimes people will say "B****" and "So-and-so is just being a victim" because they were also raised in a very misogynistic Patriarchal culture and I'm sorry for them if that's as far as they can go in this lifetime.

Holy skinned knees experience.
Well, I accidentally drove by the diner where I skinned my knees when I fell in the pothole the other night (I truly had no conscious intention of doing so but then I got turned around somehow and I was like, wait a second. Here I am again.)
I wondered if they'd fixed that hole and I wasn't too sure if they would have and my knees still hurt every single day from falling down in that pothole. So I thought, if they haven't fixed it, I'm going to go in and show them my knees. I'm going to tell them my knees still hurt.
And then I'm going to tell them I was on a jury where a black woman who was an elderly person with diabetes fell and twisted her ankle and broke it in a tree well that wasn't properly kept up by the city and she was never able to recover back her state of health. Since she had diabetes on top of it, having a broken ankle injury was really a severe impact on her quality of life. She couldn't walk long distances anymore and that was significant.
Not only that, but the other people on the jury mostly wanted to help her, but they also wanted to go home and like take care of their kids and stuff and they didn't want to be on the jury anymore. So they almost all changed their minds, cuz one or two people were being really pissy about the idea of awarding her any money for her the damages. So she didn't get anything.
They all said well, we do feel bad for her, but they said they didn't want to give her any money. Bunch of white people, too, that time, by the way. And the white guy lawyer that the city had was the smarmiest jerk, probably would have gotten Epstein off. I don't think the judge (also a white guy) actually liked him all that much. Cuz he got yelled at several times. And her lawyers, who were also younger white guys, didn't get yelled at. Wow, it sometimes seems like the white guys are the most employable ones in certain spaces huh? Hey, look at the Supreme Court.
Well I drove by the space that had the pothole and I got a pleasant surprise!
They fixed it. They fixed it! You can't even tell that pothole was there!
So you see, I spoke up and my suffering was not for nothing. Maybe I even saved somebody who was far more vulnerable and worse off than I from falling into that hole and suffering a far worse injury. Who knows?
You know what's kinda harsh, tho...
It's kinda harsh knowing that PTSD is real, but your trauma is just someone else's minor inconvenience.
And this is why it's such a comfort to read books sometimes.
Because once in awhile, you might find an author who's writing makes you know that humans really are capable of being curious about and also sensitive towards somebody else's real life experiences.
I truly never even thought of this!

They want to suck you down to their level, don't they?
It's also been a really pathetic experience that people who were supposed to be much better than this made me feel like if I just made more money, like if I just took the business card of a shady rich guy and got enough money to get a financial advisor and make some some investments in the stock market and if I had a shitload of money right now, then the shallowest of the shallow, including people you were supposed to actually trust and rely on in the past, would treat you better! Based off being much more materialistic and shady and misogynistic and racist and greedy, like they are!
Creative projects that actually help women and girls who got abused by their patriarchal society and friends and families. That could happen.
A lot of shallow and sexist men and women it takes, to make up such a violent, ignorant Patriarchal Society!
Wow, what selfish, sexist, racist men. Did they read "The Cut Out Girl." Or "As The Waltz Was Ending." White guys have raped many women, too. Sorry.
"Musk is a fan of the Armie Hammer-starrer Citizen Vigilante.
After Citizen Vigilante was banned in Germany, according to The Telegraph, because regulators refused to grant the film an age rating over concerns that its violent content could incite violence against immigrants, Musk posted the full movie to his X account, which has more than 240 million followers, making it available to watch for 48 hours. Uwe Boll, the German filmmaker who wrote and directed Citizen Vigilante, also shared the film. While it's no longer available on either account, the movie has since been reposted by X users."

Who even says you need to be a hero. That's a lot.
And if you read a book like "The Cut Out Girl," there's plenty of different kinds of people to look up to.

Your kids and their kids are gonna to have to do it.
Start thinking about all those things you didn't want to think about; but if you feel it's going to overwhelm you, and I do understand that feeling quite well, maybe make a plan so you can cushion yourself psychologically and adequately, according to your unique needs.
There's always a silver lining.
I think some parents might be way less misogynistic towards the daughters in the future. The incidences of dads and moms making excuses for rapists is going to go down incrementally.
They grew up feeling like being racist and misogynistic was normal, so it's time for a growth spurt.

Honestly, sometimes it's that kind of morning.

I think all the kids from all the economic backgrounds should have the opportunity to have a pet cat when they're growing up.
My cat has this real talent for coming up to me and acting super purry and cute! Who knows. Maybe having cats shaped me significant ways.
Patriarchy makes some women very sick in the head, too.
Are you, like, Donald Trump in an alternate, more XY chromosome'd reality?
Wow! What a church that would have been.
"Love thy neighbor!"
Imagine if you had gone to the kind of church where you were taught to be feminist and ask questions and have conversations and be good brothers and care about all kinds of people who are your neighbors, huh?
The "artists are monsters guy" is right.

It's Sunday morning and this is a great time to think about this topic.
They are monsters because they want to be the cult leaders. They are hungry ppl. Hungry to be special. To push away others, and be so filled with their artistic importance. Why would you want to think about brown people getting rounded up and put away in concentration camps? If you can just be a pretty artist sitting next to a stream, singing your pretty artistic songs, isn't that much better for your fragile psyche?
They want worshippers to make them feel on top!
They don't wanna know about your stressed out about genocide problems.
Oh Lord.
They wanna lead the church and make ppl scream.
Why do white people have to be the best monster artists?
Like, do you know we actually do need the labor of the immigrants and indigenous brown people who are being persecuted by Patriarchal White Supremacy more than we need to worship you and your art? But oh my God try to tell the monstrous artsy people this. They will goddamn hate you forever. You simply become a non-entity to them. They act like you just don't exist. And that seems like a normal and justifiable and acceptable way to get through life when it comes to these people who are in kind of headspace that almost reminds me of being a wannabe cult leader. It's really sick.
Humans can do good things.
"Review: The Cut Out Girl, by Bart Van Es"
https://www.draliceviolett.com/the-cut-out-girl-by-bart-van-es/
"It’s very timely, as well; I feel even more disgusted by the separation of immigrant children from their families at US Border Patrol now I’ve read this biography. It’s inevitable that we’ll see another cohort traumatised in similar ways in the not very far future."
~ Alice Violett
I picked up my library book and it opened to a certain page.
This is The Cut Out Girl again. (It's written by a man who seems to be more perceptive than the average man these days, I would say.) On page 257, he describes a letter from his grandmother, the adopted mother, to Lien:
"This is a kind and loving letter, filled with a true and solid wisdom. Ma understands Lien and for all the trouble that lay behind them, it is hard to see how the bonds that tied these women together could break. My grandmother could sometimes be hard and judgmental, but she was also someone with a deep sense of duty, especially toward her children. How could things go from such a letter to the one that severed contact for good?"

The smart and curious girls and women are the most trustworthy ones.
The boys and men? Most of them get too easily led astray. Even the one that you could be romantic about sometimes has to be a brother first. Otherwise, it's hopeless. Boys are too easily led astray by the paycheck-iarchy, and this has been proven to be the case, over and over and over and over again. The girls and women who put those types of boys first will never ever be trustworthy, either. But the smart and curious girls and women are the ones who see more possibilities, and their vision can help you believe in a better future.
I need feminine spirituality, too, though.
I need feminine spirituality so I can survive the horror show.
Who knows why?
The Unwell Patriarchy wanted people to act like wounded narcissists who are incapable of seeing others are the ones who are the most deserving of attention and money and land and whatever else the Patriarchal Cult deemed the "most valuable" people should value the most.
