Long ago and Far Away I was living in a small apartment in Georgia, two days shy of the birth of my first child. Hot. Miserable and the only food I wanted to eat- was Watermelon.
This morning in the newspaper:
British guy kills five. He found it difficult to live as an "involuntary celibate" because of a lack of a love life. This"incel" (online) movement justifies violence against women as revenge for men being rejected as sexual partners. They feel "society" denies them sexual partners because it's not them personally being rejected. This online subculture has been linked to deadly attacks in California, Toronto and Florida. Let's all take a moment to visualize how this guy presents himself. Physically, emotionally and linguistically.
There are many many people in the World who are involuntarily celibate. And just as many who are choosing to be celibate. No reason to be getting a gun and shooting people. Am I correct in assuming that the members of the online groups aren't attracted to each other either???? but don't shoot each other?
It's extremely humid today. Like being ironed. The sprinklers are on. I now have a two toned purple petunia in with the Grass That Might Be Growing. The Earth's little giggle.
I am cleaning out the fridge this weekend. Eating what is still okay to eat. Filling the compost bucket with wilted vegetation. I'll keep garbage refrigerated until Tuesday when the garbage is collected. No reason to get the garage stinky.
