*IT’S A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL*
Loved that ride at Disney, It’s a Small World After All… but I’ve realized something very important… that is impacting human and social relations on a weird scale and in an awkward way. “The world is not as big as you think it is!”; “The world just keeps getting smaller and smaller”; “Wow, it’s such a small world. Fancy meeting you here…”; “Well you know, it’s a small world – getting smaller by the day”; “Wouldn’t you know! It’s a small world after all…”; The underlying assumption is that people are getting closer together… that we are getting access to what and who we need when we need it and…

WATCH Pose (seasons 1-3)
Quotes from the gorgeous and fabulous (though mostly fictional character base) series “Pose” (three seasons already!) that helps us in the 2020s understand what happened with the queer community and underground balls in New York in the 1980s. A somewhat (and beautifully created and reenacted) historical narrative. “Remember, Doll, there’s not many yous out there…” [as Nurse Judy encourages Blanca Evangelista on their inclination to become a nurse, despite their school history of dyslexia. Their partner (also in medical profession) says they will support their decision and coach them] [Blanca Evangelista]: “When you get rejected by your mother, your father, you’re always out there looking for someone to replace the…

The Gentle Hollow
My sprouts are growing… the leaves on the trees swivel and float in the breeze. The gentle hollow, home to fledglings, 20+ bird species, countless squirrels, and other rodents, plus the occasional raccoon, coyote, or white-tailed deer. I have had some bad news this week. The worst one can in my job occupation – aside from a fatality or successful suicide attempt. This morning I received some good news – the best of times, the worst of times… that is now. Tomorrow I start back at bus, with 6 hours of re-training before they send me out to do work. After which I will do bus each day as an…

Dream People & Self Learning
After a troubling few encounters in my current profession this last week I had come to realize – yet again – that no one had my back when I needed them to. Not only that, but I would need to learn to define for myself the gray areas when people are harassing me and how much I can or should tolerate before calling it a day and having someone else deal with it (safety risk assessment… but also a personal one) Sometimes these days are accompanied by dreams, but sometimes these dreams come later or much later. In a recent dream where I was designated to arrange or complete a…

People as Children
What’s so wrong with being a kid? Children are people, people are children – all of us on some level. What is so wrong about relying on others? Is it not true that there are natural instances for when relying on others takes precedence? Perhaps for some of us we have symbiotic relationships, maybe things are mutually beneficial – though we differ extremely. And then, there are those of us that are codependent or dependent on others as a natural course – whether chosen, or selected by default (genetics, disability, etc) Who are we to judge those that need others to support them? That need others to improve their quality…

Democrats & Republicans
Fuck ’em. Walking our pug late at night on our “weekend”, my partner checked the mailbox and found another ‘call for donations’ from the President Obama campaign for funding the political party… My partner tossed the letter in the trash. Biden talked about this. He promised that. And what happened? Nothing. My partner went on to remind me: $2000 a month COVID-19 stimulus check? Only the $1400 per working individual in March 2021 to round out the $600 from the turn of the year(?) It is May, no further “monthly” check ideas… Student Loan Forgiveness? That fell by the wayside. Disappointment. Chagrin. Would have been nice for many of us.…

Wisdom of the Masses
Twelve plus years ago my primary partner was reading a book (among many others) that they were interested in. The topic was understanding the wisdom of the masses. I laughed at the title saying, “the point of a statement like the wisdom of the masses can only lead to a bottom-line that there is no wisdom in the masses“ I think & believe that anyone with experience in social conditioning in groups, schools, churches, etc. know how a group of people can gather, rise up, and sway opinion based on a few ring leaders (even modern day memes, social media platforms, and even movements, etc. bear witness to common day…

Humans Change
So, I put my “honey-moon” bathing suit in the Good-Will bag today. I keep telling myself “next year I’ll be able to fit back into this – or maybe next year” and how proud I would be with a before and after photo showing how much I am still the same person I was in 2008 as I am in 20–whatever. I have had multiple opportunities to throw this bikini out. Countless conversations in my mind, but this last week pushed my resolve. I was measured at the doctor (I do not weigh myself anymore because negative triggers abound in life, and that is one less one I could care…
