The Doctor knows best?
It is October 19th, 2022 and my heart is breaking.
Yesterday was World Menopause Day; the newest mind fuck introduced by a corporate world order intent on Mutually Assured Destruction. It has not been enough to escalate the mass extinction of life on the planet through fossil fuel extraction; we are caught in a meat grinder of greed and hatred that supports famine, pandemic deaths, war, and unbelievably cruel social injustice as the Rich and Privileged manipulat,"othering" most of the known world.
Now the Patriarchy is escalating it's power grab for YOUR WOMB.
A major economic index for how AmeriKKKa is faring involves analyzing the number of potential consumers each state has in it's pipeline. The more consumers, the higher the score. A high score is good; that state will qualify for more federal financial support in greasing that pipeline of future consumers.
What is the index? The number of GIRLS IN THAT STATE, UNDER THE AGE OF FIFTEEN.
Utah leads.
Vermont (where I have hunkered down for the Apocalypse) is dead last.
At first, that economic predictor puzzled me. Then it hit me like a ton of bricks: FIFTEEN YEAR OLD GIRLS HERE IN AMERIKKKA ARE RIPE FOR THE PICKING. SLIDE THAT RING THROUGH THE NOSE OF THIER INSECURITIES, THEIR OVERFWHELM AND THEIR SPIRITUAL SEARCH FOR MEANING AND YOU HAVE YOUR READY MARKET OF EXCELLENT PURCHASERS OF ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING THE SYSTEM SAYS THEY OUGHT TO BUY.
Hello "Sixteen" magazine, and all the other screen related clickbait and cellphone candy crush crack aimed at our youth.
World Menopause Day broke my heart, because the Powers That Be are so smug in their sense of ongoing control that they don't even try for sublety, anymore White technicians with PRICKS (aka male doctors) will advertise with absolute confidence that they can teach/ preach/ and reach each and every one of us born with WOMBS and show us how to micromanage our third and potentially most powerful biolgic change.
"The Change of Life". MENOPAUSE.
And, they grab this spotlight--ironically-- during the same month they have turned us all Pepto Bismal pink with the ribbons of performative ally-shp around our struggles with breast cancer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2xY2cxto1M
A cancer whose statistical rise is linked to the use of the very products those Powers That Be have been hard-selling us for the last fifty years: our "forever feminine” products that happen to have carcinogenic and mutagenic "side" effects.
And the term "forever chemicals" has come into common usage, just as those same wt technicians with PRICKS are finding these poisons in our placentas, and DDT in our breastmilk.
Whether I have convinced you that we are at The End of Days or not, I am sharing the tools that I use to STAY SANE through these stressful times. They are tools that have come out of deepening realization that My country AMERIKKKA is trying to kill me.
Has been trying to kill me, since before I was born. Escalated that attack, after I had slipped-- in a perfect storm of insecurity, overwhelm and Spiritual searching-- sixteen years ago.
Now, at 65 I accept my vocation as a model and a mentor for POSTEMONPAUSAL ZEST AND JOY.
And I commit to sharing my stories through this Fall into Winter season with you, Reader/ Listener.
BECAUSE WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW CAN KILL YOU.
AND LIVING WELL CAN BE THE BEST REVENGE.
