Problems were in books
"The Endless Steppe: Growing Up in Siberia by Esther Hautzig"
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/296384.The_Endless_Steppe
That was PG-13
People should evolve more quickly.
One time, someone was really unnecessarily mean and threatening to me, and not very long after that we heard that he had an unpleasant experience where an irate ironworker unexpectedly slammed him up against his car in a parking garage and other people were shocked but I honestly wasn't too sad about it. Old ways were really not so great back in the day.

So awake. So young and cute in the past
And then there was Church.
The people who pick the food and the cult leaders and the deniers and the bystanders and the buyers and the abusers and the enablers.
Old patriarchs making themselves the center of everything and everyone else just goes along with it. What if church is to blame.
Patriarchal brainwashing begins with church.
Gross and grosser.

Etcetra.
That's what he said
“'I would prefer (affordable) health insurance over a dollar raise, a two dollar raise,' he said, looking around at his fellow River Ranch residents. 'If you asked everyone here who would like a health insurance policy, one for which they could pay only $100 a month, everyone would want it. Every one.'”

More dreams about suddenly realizing you lack clothing in settings that are not typically considered to be "clothing-optional"...Here, pull this dress out of a pile of clothes...it kind of looks like a Lilly Pulitzer sort of thing...but just hug it in front of you and not be able to put it entirely on for some reason until you can get to a bathroom or something, and still by the end of the dream you haven't finished this simple task...

I fell asleep because I was watching Woman at War too late at night.
I had a horrible dream about a man putting a woman -- more specifically, someone's sister -- in a box, and burying her in the woods. Awful. (She kind of looked like a character from Undone).
But I can look forward to returning to watching the Woman at War film later this evening.

"This pandemic hasn’t just been harder on women — it’s been deadlier for women."~ L. Plank
"Google searches that appear to be from women like 'He will kill me' or 'He beats me up all the time' garner millions of search results, but none of the aforementioned searches appear to return any domestic violence resources or hotlines."
~ L. Plank
"Meanwhile, when I typed 'how to control your woman' from Venice, California, the search engine suggested a litany of articles instructing a male reader on how to psychologically abuse his intimate partner. One of the first links Google proposed was a blog post offering step-by-step guidance for men on how to restrict what a female partner wears, where she travels, what she eats and even what she spends her money on."
~ L. Plank
People are differently wired
Among other things...
My life was affected when I was in my 20s and I found a picture of a couple who got married on a beach in California (oh, how lovely, that's what I want to do someday!)
And then I was told that they got divorced not long after they had a daughter and the woman moved to Vegas and was murdered (wedding fantasy smashed).
I moved out to California eventually...

Why? Why does a brother have to be like that? Well, he's insecure but found ultra-creative ways of dealing with certain things and probably also has a touch of impulsivity & mental illness because society is quite messed up, but he found a ways to make it more masculinity-oriented or more acceptable than you found in your girl-body and there's just a lot of stuff going on there sometimes and that's why things get annoying!
I think Thoreau had good qualities
Flawed and not the friendliest guy, but also not too manipulative, friends with certain people who said nice things about him, inspired lots of people to appreciate nature more, got more famous after he died, and Gandhi and MLK enjoyed his disobedience.
More tranquility, or else
(Imagining a woman distributing crayons and stickers and construction paper to a group of young children: "Kids, what does 'I loathe the patriarchy so much sometimes' look like")
Doesn’t tranquility sound nice sometimes
I believe it would be beneficial to receive a tranquility-oriented creative assignment from the universe.

Pandemic TV
Currently, Undone is bingeable whereas Tales from the Loop was one episode per night TV and World on Fire and My Brilliant Friend went from addictive to unwatchable (there were too many real life stresses) very quickly at the beginning of it.
Saturday, May 01, 2021
I was thinking about society again.
My version of why I sat next to a unique man on two planes years ago is because years before, in a museum, his son asked for help, and it reminded me of situations I had been in, so I talked to the father because I was asked to help, and to be an adult who acknowledges things. So I made an impression. Then I forgot about it, but he did not. Maybe the impression was kind of motherly.
Maybe paying attention to things qualifies as motherly sometimes. Even if a man pays attention, that could be motherly. Even if society doesn't encourage them to do it all that much. No one's going to throw us a party for it, but that's not why you do it.
Maybe think about this sometime.

Of course, anyone who might leave soon is a candidate for coming back.
Well, I see that now.
Shopped.
It's that part of the pandemic where the woman who expressed disappointment about the still-off-limits dressing rooms gives you the idea to wear leggings and try on things in the corner of the store like she did. This week it seemed like a lot of people like to use The Office as Zoom backgrounds and look there's a can of hollandaise sauce. Imagine working for someone who has seen you walk without any clothes on between a hot tub and a small vacation cabin, but maybe that's not so strange in more spa-oriented cultures. It is getting hotter outside. What a tiresome day.
