Divine awkward fool stuff

Alfred the Great is dead but not entirely... Royalty's likeness is stored away in a vault... I. is doing her nun dance... T. is doing his nanny / house servant dance... I am in a vault with M. Prankster who is singing Irresponsible Woman & Arm's Length & Spill...I am merely temporarily delusional, and of course above all of that...I perch on the arm of something spiritual... perhaps it has elements of Islam, Christianity, Natural Laws...the Hard Way is the only way because the other ways are too old now and they are more painful than death...the universe asks a lot but grants isolation and space for healing...it asks for more and more and more...I am going to read my spiritual books and magazines...something at which I feel I can excel.

Acculturation

Women who don't fit a certain beauty or fertility standard should not be so undervalued just because it has been engrained in some people's conscious or subconcious habits to do so.

"In some developing countries, the consequences of infertility—which can include ostracism, physical abuse and even suicide—are heartbreaking. 'If you are infertile in some cultures, you are less than a dog,' says Willem Ombelet of the Genk Institute for Fertility Technology in Belgium. Women are often uneducated, so their only identity comes from being moms. 'It [infertility] is an issue of profound human suffering, particularly for women,' says Marcia Inhorn, professor of anthropology and international affairs at Yale University. 'It's a human-rights issue.'"

Cultures are made up of people.


"A 2010 study published in the Journal of Applied Psychology found that 'very heavy' women banked $19,000 less than their peers of 'average weight,' while 'very thin' women earned a dramatic $22,000 more per year. What’s more, a weight gain of 25 pounds was found to be linked to an annual salary decrease of $14,000 per year."

~ https://moneyish.com/ish/only-15-of-hiring-managers-would-consider-hiring-an-overweight-woman/


"Even being as little as 13 pounds overweight resulted in $9,000 less per year. I hope this demonstrates that this issue is not exclusively of concern to the very fat, but women in general."

good dream

I went to the top of a building and lay on a mattress
Very high, surprisingly unafraid of heights, until...
Just a little bit afraid...maybe an earthquake...
A wind came and toppled me and the mattress
Fortunately the building was not so high after all
It just had really great views
And all of my things were blowing everywhere
I had to hastily gather them up and go back in my car
Not a safe dream, but an interesting one

Imagining a river

A place to be reborn and shed tears.
The disillusionment is really strong right now.
It's like a very bad illness.
People have been so petty.

But what if it is medically impossible.

Wasn't there an amusement park ride that people stood inside and they spun around really really fast? Like you could flip upside down but still be stuck to the edges. I did not ride on it. Maybe it was a place visited while dreaming.

A terrible recipe for motion sickness.

Woe to the attitude

It was icky

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/targeting-drunk-women-accounts-for-sexual-aggression-not-blurred-lines/

I used to envy my future self because I couldn't be her yet.

Then the older woman who had been a hostess for twenty years before they let her go came around looking for a job.

How come?

One time I was in my early thirties with an advanced degree, untreated PCOS & anxiety, and forever taking multiple trips to see sick and PTSD-riddled family members (fear of death),  in an establishment patronized by NSF and DHS people who needed to unwind from their stressful jobs on...I forget was it $1 or $2 pint night...oh and they still had smoking in the bars back then...that was fun, coming to work sick and inhaling all that...

Whew. I am in a better place now.

What a dilemma

at least this is an interesting one.

http://www.frugalwoods.com/2018/07/11/reader-case-study-should-we-buy-a-campground-and-laundromat/

Come complain about that.

I like learning things

but I do not want to listen to people with high salaries complain about their financial problems. Who cares?  I just killed another roach even though we finally called the LL a few weeks ago about them, and I haven't had things like "my nails done" since 2010.  I don't need to listen to people whining about not being able to afford a pricey house in a pricey area when I am enjoying my budget "taking the waters" experience. People who whine about that stuff seem like maybe they have been babysat as adults, in one form or another.
