I have often kept my trap shut regarding certain things--most people don't like questioning the things they think and Don tells me all the time I am never going to change any minds. And I almost ALMOST believe that is true, until I realize some of my more controversial comments continually get filtered and never posted on some of the right wing boards. Notably this includes healthcare comments and comments about money being the only value Americans seem to want to celebrate, which I wholeheartedly believe is true. It is legitimately the only value we can affix to people and situations and things--and generally those with it are automatically given more credibility than those without it. We don't value kindness, empathy, education or charity quite like we value money and I continually see it everywhere. You don't see people who have a lot of it even use a single one of those other facets to define themselves--which I have been noticing a lot over the past few years and hope one day people recognize and change their direction to embrace.
It's kind of an odd thing to recognize, but I recognize even my separation from my maternal blood line ...
So I left Facebook a few days ago after getting banned for bullying. I am realizing it might not be the best place for me to spend my time debating. See, I stopped sharing things to my page, I just actively go out and debate people. I think about things from many perspectives and never see my inner voice represented so I have spent some time recently sharing my commentary, but it appears my sense of humor is not well appreciated, so I have been reported and banned maybe 3 times over the past several months. You'd probably laugh your ass off as to the reasons why and what things I said necessitated that I get kicked off, everything from trying to explain legal precedent to a person from Iowa that elicited the quip at the resistant concept--she refused to acknowledge it--- Of course you are missing the point, you're from Iowa....Idiots out Wandering Around (IOWA). It's a joke from this part of the country and I thought it had some humor. The super ironic thing about that ban is it was an article about some judge declaring nobody gets to decide their own pronoun, and in her ...
So I mentioned I resigned from the job that was literally killing me with stress. I am not sure if fully removing ALL stress is the best idea either, as when you remove it all, encountering it in any form seems to boomerang you into a worse position. It is almost as if you need to train yourself to deal with the mundane nature of general stress so that when something really dumb happens, you don't literally kill yourself with it.
I had a class on instagram last night I tried my best to get to--I had a map, I looked at it, hell I stopped not once but 4, 5 times to get help reading the map. Even at the liquor store, the drunk man asked why my phone didn't work as GPS and yeah, why didn't it? Because nobody fucking calls me, so the phone is just something I have decided to adhere to having because it's an expected tool to have, ya know, just in case someone some day decides to call me besides Don. Don calls me every once in a while but we definitely use skype more than anything. So I got lost ...
