US Government sanctioned occupation of US Cities...media monopolies...just wow...

  So the president (Frump) has decided to send troops to a United States city which aparently by his words is "War Ravaged" and needs rescuing. https://www.npr.org/2025/09/27/nx-s1-5555381/trump-sending-troops-portland.  This is crazy..it is fascist in its action, and it is so UN-American that  both sides of the political isle should be ashamed. Our leadership is and has failed us. The checks and balances are failing us atm.  If we step back we can see a lot of warning signs. Starting with Corporate monopolies happening regarding the media. We as a nation have seen a consolidation of Media outlets (the news, TV stations etc) from 50 providers, down to 5 and getting smaller. If you don't believe me watch this video Something Worse is happening : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SegPf09WkzQ. What happened to Jimmy Kimble was because an FCC chair threatened indirectly to NOT approve a merger unless Jimmy was taken off the air. ya... its that bad.  If all media ...

Empathy, Kindness, Respect and the Platinum Rule

    I had a day that makes me think that humanity is a lost cause. Let me explain by setting the stage. From my bedroom I can hear the whoosh of traffic on two nearby highways and more than one night I have lay awake wondering about all the people driving their cars, and motorcycles and trucks by the thousands whooshing by, every second of every day. And I wonder, Where are they going? Why are they up? what are they doing? Whats their life like? Imagining and trying to imagine the infinite and finite lives that pass by my house from a distance, all of them oblivious of my existence or the fact that people are listening to their vehicles as they whoosh by traveling to some destination.  So in all that distant rush of continual traffic the following happened to me today. I woke up this morning, got some coffee and proceeded to catch up with a community I belong too. Flipping through the conversations, one was discussing alcohol and how it generally is bad for your health an...

Rain

Image
 When was the last time you walked in the rain? got soaking wet? Choose to actually go out and walk in the rain knowing you would get wet?  This morning I went for a long walk and though there was RISK of rain, I went anyway.  During my walk it started to rain, first as mist, then drops, then full on concert of good Weather in the state I so much love. And.. while walking in the rain I saw very few people. Those I did come across had a smile on their face, or were jogging shirtless, or holding hands with another, or like me just out being a part of the universe. They were out, about, living and like me enjoying the clean air, the solitude, the sound and the quiet all at once. And not afraid to get a little wet!  I thought to myself transition is a lot like walking in the rain.  When you walk in the rain something happens. you realize nature doesn't care, it just IS.  Similarly, Being transgender just is.  Its not an illness, its not contrived, its not ...

The Bully Factor

  I was watching a you-tuber discuss their transition, and how they started journaling about the decision to do so and realized that in a sense this blog, was my journaling.  And so I want to talk about something, share something I have never addressed. Abuse, bullying and how it sticks with you for life. I also will drop in some random thoughts, things that are tells of my transgenderism.  So I'm going to list every moment I can think of where abuse/bullying happened to me (or happened to someone else and impacted me in ways I don't even know). When we lived in Arkansas a kid beat me up on the playground for being different. Another time at a parents/teachers night my parents inside I was cornered outside in the dark by two older boys, while a 3rd repeatedly punched me in the gut.  I was corporal punished by my teachers, taken into a backroom and spanked with a wooden paddle for not following instructions properly. I wanted to be with the girls, and didn't follow in...

Be Reasonably Unreasonable

  I was watching an interview with Kevin Smith, and he talked about a life lesson that he now carries with him and shares with others when ever he can and it goes like this. "You must be unreasonable to achieve your dreams"  Think about this from the angle of being transgender. Everyone wants to have a say, wants to tell you what you can and can't do, wants to say you are mistaken, confused, wrong, sick even. Or that you are on the autistic spectrum and so have confused yourself, and susceptible to coming to a false conclusion (This is the latest #@T% @#%#% the TERFs and GCs are welding. Laughable, no science, bull sh#t, made up, garbage.  But lets step back to what Kevin is talking about, and ignore the haters, and the critics, and the mind controlling f#cks.  "You must be unreasonable to achieve your dreams"  He also spoke it another way: "Carry/Have a reasonable amount of un-reasonability" Wow....  ok...  how do we unpack this? For me this means tha...

Fate, 12 monkeys, the people up stairs, Final Frontier

Image
  I've always been haunted that I would be alone.  When I was young I watched the movie "12 Monkeys" and totally got it, these characters trapped in this crazy loop of time, destiny, and inability to change what was to be. Fate.  I have experienced a similar feeling of fate. When I was very young I was in the military, living in a cheap downstairs, apartment with my wife at the time. upstairs there were two people and I could hear them moving around, vaguely talking, muffled through my ceiling, their floor and the entire time... I lived there I never met them once. Not once, not a glimpse.  And my imagination took charge and the idea came into my head that this was also me, and someone else...many many many years from that day, living upstairs. Ya weird right...  I have never been able to fully shake that thought. I know its crazy. I know its not true, but there is a part of me, that feeling, that thought, that the person that was up stairs was me. In the Star T...

AI, Bots, Stirring the pot, counter intelligence, Discord, Dissinformation, Chaos; Why transgender communities should be aware

  So.... this has bothered me for a while...  Here is the scenario.  I'm on reddit and someone with a random name posts a seemingly innocent question like "Hi I'm 13 and..." "Why do all cis people do x" "I'm glad x, y, z did ABC ....   And...these questions usually come from accounts that are newer or have profiles that lack any history of posts, comments, and/or details. These are RED FLAGS PEOPLE!!!!! Wholly sh$t! Here is why. (and read everything) Words are important, and in this political climate they can be used and twisted if not careful. The saying "Don't give your enemy(oppressors) words that can be used against you" is real. One Example, responding to that alleged 13 year old, reddior whose profile is new and whose post starts with "hi my parents suck, and I'm 13 and..."  should be treated with a lot of care and caution. The saying "The path to hell is paved with good intentions" is real. I get it...you...
