Dear CIA,

Now that you've put this chip in my brain, I just wish you'd come get me and take care of me. We can work it out from there.

On Abortion

This is not an issue I would normally throw my hat into the ring on, but today the Pope issued a statement that equated abortion to hiring a hitman.

First off, we need to take the development of the fetus into account here. The heartbeat bills are extreme, and I defer with the situation this then calls into question: a braindead person still has a heartbeat.  Do they have the right to remain on life support indefinitely?

Obviously the more important question here than "does a person have a heartbeat?" is "does this person have self-awareness?" That should be the determining factor for personhood.

The Bible suggests that the soul enters the body when the person takes their first breath, not that I think that it should be upheld as any sort of authority, but it is supposed to be the Pope's guidebook to life and the Universe. I imagine the capacity for self-awareness sets in at the time the fetus becomes capable of living outside the mother's womb.

These decisions are never made lightly, but the most important conversation we should be having here is how to prevent unwanted pregnancies in the first place through education and freely available contraceptives. The Catholic paradigm of birth control through abstinence as modeled by the celibacy of the priesthood is demonstrably one of the biggest failures on Earth; let's end this antiquated notion of having a virgin tell us all how to have sex.

Let's get this right, people.

A Dream

I had the most incredible dream last night... it started off like a fairly ordinary dream, then began to reflect an ordeal/ test like something out of a myth or legend. I began to defy the laws of physics, such as gravity, there was something akin to when the gods challenged mortals to a contest in Greek mythology. I think this one was something involving sculptures that were either spherical or not, and there may have been something similar to bowling but with Planck scale physics- it's very difficult to remember- but at a certain point I realized that if I failed something had the potential to hurt so bad I decided to simply feel all the pain at once- as in all the pain in the Universe. I experienced The End, followed by Big Bang itself, recreating the Universe as Goddess Herself, felt myself move full-bodied in 5 dimensions, which I can barely comprehend and remember now in my waking state, but at the time the phrase "this is the beginning of everything" simply repeated over and over in my mind, and I knew Eternity... and then I woke up.

Please Stop Calling the Islamic State ISIS

If I could petition the English speaking countries of the world to do one thing, please stop calling the Islamic State ISIS. I know it's pretty late in the game to make this request, but it's very offensive to me. You see, Isis is the name of my Goddess, who I have been officially worshiping since I was 16, in the year 2000, but have been drawn to since I was a small child, long before the Islamic State was in existence. 

President Obama was kind enough to use the name ISIL when referring to the terrorist organization, which I appreciated greatly,  but Trump is inconsiderate of the issue. I imagine the terrorists themselves also find it offensive being conflated with a pagan deity, but it is unfair to us peaceful Goddess worshippers.

I once on this blog site called the Islamic State by the term "daesh," which I heard was an insult to the Islamic State because it demoted them from a nation to a band of thugs, but the amount of attention I suddenly received from the US government, including President Obama,  who was in China at the time, and Russia, who had hacked this blog along with the other things they hacked in 2016, lead me to believe I was mistaken in the meaning of the word.

It is unfair that my Goddess's name has been hijacked; Isis is a goddess of love, motherhood, representing many of the same traits as the Virgin Mary. She and we her followers do not deserve such treatment.

Mother Nature's Big Curveballs

There are a lot of articles going around right now talking about how, if we don't  change humanity's impact on the Earth NOW, millions of species will go extinct. Unfortunately,  a lot of people can't pull their heads out of their asses far enough to care.

What people fail to realize is that animals, and plants, for that matter, are adapting to a world dominated by humanity, and we may not like the results. We're seeing it first on a microbiotic scale- superbugs resistant to antibiotics. We're going to see more creatures changing their habitats with climate change- mosquitoes carrying tropical diseases are moving into areas they haven't previously been recorded. We're seeing this now.

What's next? Pest insects more immune to pesticides, pollinators disappearing because the only plant they reproduce on is gone from their habitat, and lots more rodents.  Raccoons will get smarter. And we'll see more of the animals we raise go feral, get diseases that can pass to our pets, and then to us.

There used to be a balance in an ecosystem, but whenever we walk in we throw everything off. We need to heal the Earth as best we can as fast as we can, or Mother Nature's going to throw us some fucking curveballs we are not ready for.

This shit is already happening,  and I can't believe the government is still gambling with our planet like this... I mean, is it just that the GOP's been paid to look the other way for so long that they don't care that they've sold out their grandchildren's future? Slime balls, the whole lot of them...
