They go to therapy

And the therapist says stuff like "Well, now you know you deserved better. " Very calmly.

Sweet deal. 

Just another member of the middle class in a certain part of the world in 2021

I think I need prayers for my left ear because decongestant doesn't help enough and it feels like it could be hard to get to a clinic?

Chicken soup with lemon and garlic and tea and ginger...

I can't believe how much suffering there is in this country sometimes.

Wherefore art thou, happy & healthy body...

Literature has lots of baptismal imagery

You're so toxic and dirty sometimes you should put yourself through a carwash 

METAPHORICALLY 

Ha, he put himself in the bleachers with the girls

Some better hope a lot about healthcare for women in this world vastly improves, especially if their this-life-incarnation ends anytime soon...

B-L-E-S-S-I-N-G

I know how to respect my own stuff and had a good conversation with another person today.

I bet it could get better too

Because music therapy and art therapy and other therapy is fun...

I am so impressed I could maybe give me a spiritual experience

Because in the evening in this body there's been the womanly organ pains and ear pains, but I suppose thou shalt survive...and earlier...a very good conversation with another person happened! Gratitude. Like when I was six, swimming in a favorite babysitter's pool. Beauty.

Down dog down...

It was easier listening to someone else today

I felt better. She's a good person. She deserves more healing. Now I feel worse and have to deal with my own problems. What else is there. Things could get better. Pain happens. It's too much but it can get better sometimes.

Real...

I can still appreciate knowing about inner children who want the world to get better.

If living in a body is this tiring tonight, I would just love to metaphorically get reborn and enjoy much better new life with more healing and better healthcare and less pain...

What if better healthcare could happen soon?

Since because having various pain issues and having a hard time knowing where to go to get them addressed can be exhausting beyond belief sometimes. Soup and home remedies...

What if a lot got better?

What if a guy got help for his issues? The kind of help he needs.

Feels and hears

Y: Was there somebody crying on your call?

X: Yes, but she's better now.

Sooner than I knew

My life asked me to talk to a woman who had 5 miscarriages and had to stop trying to have kids because it's too dangerous for her healthwise but now she and her husband can go to college with her stepdaughter all at the same time and they have a good relationship with each other and that's just one part of their bigger life story of change and migration...

Patriarchy is

Your mom died but you might not be able to fly to another country if your narcissistic ex who gave you a child doesn't sign the papers.

Looked for a film & got dog sled musher story

"what disdain we have" why is that?

"'What we have seen over the years is a dramatic escalation,' she says. 'I think what Texas shines a bright spotlight on is what disdain we have for the needs of women and girls, or people who can get pregnant even if they don't identify as female.'

The history of these types of exceptions is somewhat complicated. Joffe notes that toward the end of the 20th century, it was more common than now for states to include exceptions for rape and incest.

She says this trend to drop exceptions for rape and incest started about 10 years ago, after the Tea Party gained power in Congress and in many statehouses. As many legislatures became more politically conservative, anti-abortion groups started gaining more influence in the lawmaking process."
