Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 65
As we proceed through the second year of these open posts, it's pretty clear that the official narrative is cracking as the toll of deaths and injuries from the Covid vaccines rises steadily and the vaccines themselves demonstrate their total uselesness at preventing Covid infection or transmission. It's still important to keep watch over the mis-, mal- and nonfeasance of our self-proclaimed health gruppenfuehrers, and the disastrous results of the Covid mania, but I think it's also time to begin thinking about what might be possible as the existing medical industry reels under the impact of its own self-inflicted injuries. So it's time for another open post. The rules are the same as before:
1. If you plan on parroting the party line of the medical industry and its paid shills, please go away. This is a place for people to talk openly, honestly, and freely about their concerns that the party line in question is dangerously flawed and that actions being pushed by the medical industry et al. are causing injury and death. It is not a place for you to dismiss those concerns. Anyone who wants to hear the official story and the arguments in favor of it can find those on hundreds of thousands of websites.
2. If you plan on insisting that the current situation is the result of a deliberate plot by some villainous group of people or other, please go away. There are tens of thousands of websites currently rehashing various conspiracy theories about the Covid-19 outbreak and the vaccines. This is not one of them. What we're exploring is the likelihood that what's going on is the product of the same arrogance, incompetence, and corruption that the medical industry and its tame politicians have displayed so abundantly in recent decades. That possibility deserves a space of its own for discussion, and that's what we're doing here.
3. If you plan on using rent-a-troll derailing or disruption tactics, please go away. I'm quite familiar with the standard tactics used by troll farms to disrupt online forums, and am ready, willing, and able -- and in fact quite eager -- to ban people permanently for engaging in them here. Oh, and I also lurk on other Covid-19 vaccine skeptic blogs, so I'm likely to notice when the same posts are showing up on more than one venue.
4. If you don't believe in treating people with common courtesy, please go away. I have, and enforce, a strict courtesy policy on my blogs and online forums, and this is no exception. The sort of schoolyard bullying that takes place on so many other internet forums will get you deleted and banned here. Also, please don't drag in current quarrels about sex, race, religious, etc. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules.
With that said, the floor is open for discussion.

(Anonymous) 2022-11-07 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)i went through this by myself 11 years ago when i died as i was and i think this is a stage of disconnecting. earlier i was saying most of us go through this ALONE and thus we think it's ourselves, and we suicide out (actually or mentally or socially or legally).
i asked "what does it look like when we STAY?" and that's where YOU are NOW. i think that's why you CAN sleep./you're good with YOU. where you're at.
if you're who i think you are, you've been sad about the arts you loved, being closed off to you. and i said you're on the front lines of NEW ART.
even in YOUR EXPERIENCE NOW, you are already NEW ART.
Murmuration said the question of how to exist with those who wanna eradicate you (as you also put it) is THE seminal question. yes! but FIRST, i think the real SEMINAL QUESTION is where you're at:
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I STICK AROUND AND DON'T POLITELY DISMISS MYSELF BY SUICIDING OUT???
this is like a prompt for a story writing class, it's got so many unknown possibilities, depending on your angle or assumptions or beliefs.
i'm not "telling" you anything. that's not my job. as an artist i'm ALL PROMPT. and like Hearthspirit reminded us, in improv it's always "YES, AND..."
that's where YOU'RE AT. i'm trying to say you're New Art. you're LIVING it. the soft focus hazy not-quite-in-their-world floaty questions and dares that we'd test before in SOFT TIMES, but now these are HARD TIMES and take warriors.
YOU ARE THAT.
so as i see it and forgive me for i speak in cartoons, i see YOU as having prayed at the feet of Art by visiting all these institutions. they were just shuckin' and jivin' and you believed in this stuff For Real, as did i.
and now you're... ???
this is the curse and blessing of each day, possibly terrifying or exhilarating (and often BOTH when you're really doing Your Job)... of facing The Blank Page... the Empty Canvas... the Unscheduled Future.
i suppose what i'm really saying, St Catherine Alexandria, is:
welcome! you're one of us artists. this is what it FEELS like being us before now times when everyone was going along gayly whistling past EVERYTHING.

No one tells you what it feels like to go through it. They describe it all from the outside.
Which reminds me -
When I was pregnant, I read every pregnancy book I could get my hands on. Good girl wanting to do it right etc etc. I'm at the hospital in labor, they tell me to push, and I said "Omg it feels like I have to poop!" The nurse (in the most bland voice possible) says, "It's the same nerves around the anus and the vagina so yeah, birth feels like pooping."
Not one single book, blog post, or pre-natal appointment said that!!!
So they leave it to nurses in the hospital to break the news to every new mom I guess.
Erika you're a treasure - thank you. I still feel awful but I feel better knowing I've labeled it wrong. I'm feeling the birth of art, I'm an artist.
