The mean-spirited, relentless ridicule of President Trump is an irresponsible abuse of free speech and of freedom of the press.

It is enough that he's being investigated, that he's being sued, and that some of his decisions are being challenged in court. The international free press has inadvertently made an indelible, and stupid, case for state-controlled media since the election. It's not the cause of democracy that is advancing with alacrity; governments which don't have free presses are gaining purchase on the world.  Everyone else on the planet is foundering in argument, confusion, fragmentation and, honestly, fear.  We're not even losing a fight; they're winning by default.

There is no "Trump Whisperer."

It is a derogatory term that ought to be stopped. I am for the environment.  My guess is that all of the technology already exists to convert the world to sustainable energy, and the reason that the conversion hasn't occurred is that there's nowhere near as much money to be made from sustainable energy as from fossil fuels. However, it also seems to me that Europe has its own "dirty fuel" problem, which the American media seems loathe to discuss in its mania to destroy the U.S. President.  https://sputniknews.com/business/201804241063864890-us-fueling-conflict-over-nord-stream/ Nobody needs Russian propaganda; the American media is all anyone needs to undermine all positive cooperation that could result from pressuring Europe to take responsibility for enabling Russian aggression. http://www.dw.com/en/germany-approves-nord-stream-2-gas-pipeline/a-43156602 http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/57228 http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/573

I didn't have a lot of time to write last night.

I was mostly writing at a computer somewhere that was about to close.  I am not using my phone a lot; for me to use my phone or even have it is an impetus for the conglomerate to invade my privacy and abuse me.   This morning, I tried to correct the factual errors that I published last night.  

While the conglomerate never stops victim-blaming me for being criminally victimized by voyeurism in my destitute inability to hire a lawyer

About half a year before I was called a liar, treated as if I were a criminal, and suspended from school for reporting being harassed for the third semester in a row of my attendance

https://youtu.be/BabQ56wcwWM https://youtu.be/W8YA9jY4PiQ I wrote the paper being discussed in those videos while I was homeless in 2016.  It was much more difficult for me to write that paper than to do the homework for my other classes, because I didn't need a computer for those classes.  I did have a tablet, but it didn't work.   When I tried to use the computers at the school's library and computer labs, I was harassed.  I also had the time constraints of being homeless; although my curfew was extended to 10:00 p.m., I still had to schedule my entire life around the shelter's schedule, which is what everyone who is homeless has to do for everything.  My extended curfew also didn't mean that I could sleep past 6:00 a.m., Sunday-Saturday.   I finished that paper and sent it electronically, right before the school's library was about to close and at the deadline for when the paper was due.  I did not have time to proofread it before sending it.     The professo

Cynthia Nixon's artificially supported race for Governor of New York continues.

It's very difficult for qualified women who have integrity to advance in politics.  That's why someone who made her fortune and gained name recognition from a show that was ostensibly about female empowerment and was really about privileged white women being as gross as chauvinist men is able to run for Governor, despite the sickening hypocrisy of how her industry and the media and most of the world's power structure have treated me and EVERYONE AROUND ME.

Is this accurate to say?

People in other countries who protest, fight and die for what are supposedly American values of freedom and democracy can expect to be tortured and murdered while the United States and its allies do nothing unless they're tortured and murdered "the wrong way."   If that's accurate, then the United States is not the United States anymore.  We're just another brand.   Doesn't that also mean that the American military is nothing other than a tool that is used around the world at the behest of the richest lobbyists?  A tool made of people.  

Gossip magazines

I would appreciate it if gossip magazines would stop hacking my phone and using me to fabricate stories about celebrities.   You are so uninterested in telling the truth that you could use websites about writing fiction to think of things to say; you don't have to turn my life into more of a freakshow so you can make money.  

I don't want to be famous, and I don't want to be abused.

The only horrible thing that my proximity to fame hasn't wrought upon my life is being surrounded by photographers who physically gather around me and follow me.  It seems as if there is always at least one person who follows me at a distance with a camera, because of the references by the media or famous people at social media to those invasions of my privacy, but I never see photographers in person.   However, I DON'T KNOW HOW OR WHY SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE SOUGHT TO NORMALIZE VOYEURISM AND INVOLUNTARY PORNOGRAPHY IN SHOWERS AND BATHROOMS!  I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW, WHEN THERE IS SO MUCH LITERATURE AND DISCUSSION ABOUT HOW ABUSE IS NOT THE VICTIM'S FAULT, THE CONGLOMERATE ACTS AS IF THE BURDEN OF PROVING THAT I DON'T DESERVE IT AND AM NOT ASKING FOR IT IS ON ME, EVEN AFTER I HAVE ALREADY LOST TWO APARTMENTS IN A ROW AND WAS KICKED OUT OF THE YMCA A FEW YEARS AGO FOR OBJECTING TO BEING CRIMINALLY VICTIMIZED!   ALSO, HOW MANY UNSUSPECTING PEOPLE AROUND ME ARE GOING TO BE

Social Security

Since I started trying to work in October 2017, almost every Social Security employee to whom I have spoken, at two separate offices, has treated me miserably. They're rude.  They're condescending.  They don't listen to or read the information that I try to give them.  Not only has almost everyone at both offices treated me as if I'm a bad person for working and for reporting my income, the first office transcribed my information inaccurately, and now I'm having to spend weeks trying to fix their mistakes, while almost everyone at the second office where I'm doing that is also rude and condescending.   Forget about anyone saying "Good for you that you're trying to work.  Thank you for reporting your income.  I hope you can achieve your goal of independence from welfare soon."  Their customer service is so far away from that type of thought that I don't think it has even occurred to them, and nobody at all has apologized for having inaccurately

Mr. Biden

Don't hack my phone. Don't allow people who work for you to hack my phone.  

There has to be someone other than Joe Biden who can be the next Democratic Presidential candidate.

I have written before about the need to stop rape kits from languishing, untested.

I have no dispute with Mariska Hargitay's movie, "I Am Evidence," although I probably won't see it, since I don't have HBO. However, I have never understood why Ms. Hargitay agreed to be in Taylor Swift's video for the song "Bad Blood," in which Taylor Swift's character was named as a revenge joke about the suicide of my paternal grandmother.   I also don't know why neither Ms. Hargitay nor anyone else from "Law & Order" has done anything to stop the voyeurism and involuntary pornography that the Obama administration turned into an epidemic.  

Why is it that Taylor Swift has promoted the perpetuation of crime against OTHER PEOPLE for 8 years?

http://beta.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/taylor-swift-stalker-hit-order-protection-article-1.3947822 When I call the police about stalkers, the police call paramedics, to force me to go to emergency rooms for psychiatric evaluations.  I have had hundreds, if not thousands, of stalkers since the conglomerate began to slut-shame and persecute me in 2010.  Taylor Swift is one of the many people who thinks that's funny.  

People can't recover from major surgery when they are homeless.

It is sickening how many people have to try to do that. It's even more sickening that people are being criminally victimized by voyeurism in the restrooms and showers of homeless shelters and hospitals.  

I had about 5 hours of sleep last night.

There were a few snorers, and a cougher, in my section of the dormitory at the homeless shelter.   This June, I will start my 6th year of homelessness since 2011.   I don't want to be rescued from my bad situation.  I want my bad situation to stop being caused, so that my work toward establishing an independent life stops being disrupted by criminal abuse and by my being retaliated against for reporting that abuse.  I don't have a problem with being poor.  I have never prioritized money, and I have no reason to be ashamed of my poverty.  I have a problem with wealthy people who use their money to hurt other people, or to promote crimes from which their wealth protects them.

Why? Because he won a Pulitzer for talking, in public, for profit, about "p----"?

https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/16/opinions/kendrick-lamar-pulitzer-cane/index.html Is someone suggesting that a black man talking about "p----" is less disrespectful than a white man talking about "p----"? No.  What they're all saying is "WE DON'T ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT WOMEN, AND WE CONTROL EVERYONE'S PERCEPTION OF REALITY, SO WE CAN ACT AS IF THIS ALBUM WINNING A PULITZER IS ADVANCEMENT FOR CIVIL RIGHTS WITHOUT BEING CONCERNED ABOUT BEING CALLED HYPOCRITES BY ANYONE OTHER THAN LENA, THE INFAMOUS P----."

Chemical weapons aren't the only problem.

I had a migraine last night.

The fluorescent lights aren't turned off in the dormitories at the shelter until 8:30 p.m., so even though I was lying on my bunk bed with the sheet over my head at around 8:00 p.m., after barfing a couple of times, there was nothing I could do to block the light.  There is also nothing that anyone can do about the noise of living with 100 people.  It didn't help that dinner at the shelter was a hot dog with chili and cheese.  Do not eat a hot dog with chili and cheese when you have a migraine, even if you are starving.  I don't tend to like them even when I'm not sick, and they're not better the second time. The clean sweatshirt that I was going to wear for the rest of this week was splattered with vomit.  

I'm not saying that nobody should be a rapper.

I'm saying that the Pulitzer people made a bad decision.  

Selective interpretation

Who, from among all of the people who have legally and illegally observed the music to which I have listened since 2010 (and probably for years before that), thinks that he or she can honestly call me a music snob?  

It's not snobby to say that it's sad that people who care about education are consistently slighted in the 21st century.

"A rapper--a rapper!--named Kendrick Lamar was placed on a pedestal as the recipient of the Pulitzer Prize in music, joining geniuses of American composition Aaron Copland, George Crumb, Elliott Carter and dozens of other classically trained artists.  Lamar, 30, did so without studying in a conservatory, mastering an acoustic instrument--other than his vocal cords--or composing a single opera." http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/music/la-et-ms-kendrick-pulitzer-reactions-20180420-story.html It is particularly sad that this award was misdirected at a time when teachers all over the country are protesting their dilapidated teaching facilities, their insulting salaries, and the necessity of having to pay from those low salaries to have supplies for their classrooms. The award sends the message to consumers of rap and other popular music that education is even less valuable than the entertainment industry and decades of government neglect of public schools were already telling

It is laughable how many white people are acting as if a white person objecting to this album winning a Pulitzer is racist.

This is my fifth year of homelessness in the Boston area. There are black people and white people at every homeless shelter. There are also black people and white people working at every homeless shelter. A black person or a white person who talks for several minutes the way that Kendrick Lamar raps for his album will be asked to stop swearing.  If he or she doesn't, he or she will be asked to leave the shelter.  Black or white staff will tell black or white homeless guests not to be obscene; that's true now, and it was true even in 2011 and during the years when coughing harassment of me and others in shelters was at its worst.   It's not a low opinion of black people  from me that is prompting my criticism of the album being given a Pulitzer; a low opinion of black people by the Pulitzer committee was what won the album that award.  

Awarding a Pulitzer Prize to Kendrick Lamar's album, "DAMN," was a move to reinforce the status quo.

It has nothing to do with recognizing or supporting black culture or black people. It's a reward for these things: -black people treating white culture as if it is superior, as if achieving the status symbols of white culture is not only an achievement but is the ultimate achievement for black people who, the underlying assumption is, have created nothing, and could create nothing, from their own culture that is equivalent  -every racist stereotype about black men -every racist stereotype about black women:  the saintly mother, the girlfriend who spends her time worrying about whether her boyfriend can be faithful rather than dating someone about whom she doesn't have to worry, and, of course, "hoes."

Kristen Emack is a child pornographer.

It is sickening that her pictures of her daughter are part of the New England Regional Showcase's segment of "The Fence," and that the exhibition is actually on a fence across the street from the Pine Street Inn.   How many sex offenders does Ms. Emack think live a few yards away from where her pictures of her daughter are?  One?  Two?  Wouldn't one or two be too many?  THERE ARE A LOT MORE THAN THAT, AND THEY KNOW HOW TO USE THE INTERNET TO FIND HER KID!   There are child molesters who feel bad about their attraction to children.  That probably doesn't characterize every child molester who lives at the Pine Street Inn, or at the Woods-Mullen shelter that is less than a 20-minute walk from the Pine Street Inn, but there's no reason to have sexualized pictures of children anywhere, let alone placed in the path of convicted sex offenders.   Apparently, her pictures of her child in the bathtub and her child, topless and in shorts, back arched over a couch, and he

Might Cynthia Nixon's whopping 16-point increase have something to do with her Tweeting about wanting to legalize recreational marijuana?

I am not unidealistic about voters, but I also worked in a pharmacy for 2 1/2 years.  There is nobody so glued to the phone as a drug addict; it is incredible how mellow people aren't when they're calling a pharmacy every few minutes to ask if their doctors have authorized early refills for addictive substances. I would not be surprised if people who have never voted for anything before, and who will never vote for anything again, are the people who are voting to legalize recreational marijuana. Spend 24 hours in homeless shelters.  You will never think that drugs are harmless, glamorous or funny again. I have said this before; irritation is perhaps not the right word for me to use to describe my feelings about privileged people, who have access to the most pleasant and respectful rehabilitation and psychiatric facilities and who don't know anyone else who has ever had a drug problem who hasn't had access to those same facilities, advocating for recreational drug

"The Russian military police were heavily involved. They were directing things".

“There has been a very heavy security presence on the ground ever since the attack and they have been targeting doctors and medics in a very straightforward way,” said Tayara, a Birmingham-based physician, now in Turkey where he is supervising the departure from Syria of some of the Douma medics. “Any medic who tried to leave Douma was searched so vigorously, especially for samples. At one medical point, seven casualties were taken away. The Russian military police were heavily involved. They were directing things. “They were looking through their WhatsApp messages and phones. The doctors were treated abusively and have been threatened ever since.

STOP VOYEURISM AND INVOLUNTARY PORNOGRAPHY!

I am declaring today to be Celebrities Stop Saying That They're Victims Day.

The Women's Center in Cambridge is falling apart.

The house is 145 years old and needs major renovations.  It needs so many repairs, appliances and other resources that it would take months to inventory and report them all.   Although the Center is not specifically for homeless women, because it is free, many poor and homeless women spend most of their time there.  The staff are almost all volunteers and interns; they are paid nothing for monitoring the house and for dealing with the issues which inevitably occur whenever several people have to co-occupy space for most of every week.  The hours of the Center, from 10 a.m.-8 p.m., Monday-Friday, and from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday, give much more time for people than either On The Rise or The Women's Lunch Place.  The latter organizations have gobs of money from contributions and funding.  Although On The Rise and The Women's Lunch Place say that they provide support to poor and homeless women, and that this support is their primary mission, I can tell you that neither place does

Mr. Lamar

I can't stop you from calling other black people the n-word.  I know that many black people have tried to have that word removed from black culture and they have epically failed.  I also know that the word has many connotations and inflections in black culture, from the most pejorative to the humorously affectionate.  It is not my battle to define. However, DON'T CALL ME A HONKY, AND DON'T RHAPSODIZE ABOUT MY P----.  

It's shameful that a Pulitzer Prize was given to the album "Damn."

Misogyny.  Violence.  Moneylust.  Excessive profanity.   It is an award that was motivated by racism; the racism that says this is the best that black people can do, that this is not only an acceptable version of black adulthood, but an admirable version of black adulthood. Unquestionably, thousands, even millions, of young people will be impressed by the award.  They will model their social perceptions from the album that won it; those who have musical ambition will copy it. The award is also an unconscionable setback for the music industry, which is lagging for representation in the MeToo movement.  The award reinforces the status quo of male dominance over women.  Every man from the music industry who was even thinking about whether or not to respect the MeToo movement will cast that thought aside; every woman who was trying to support the movement will be frightened, and every woman who either hasn't cared, has stupidly defended the industry's laughable parody of feminism,

Why can't the legislative groups meet with their executive partners now and decide what to do about Syria?

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-43792159 https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/16/politics/war-authorization-aumf-syria-senate/index.html I think that Syria is a situation in which the criticism of bypassing process should have been secondary to the condemnation of the events there, and suddenly it wasn't.   Sometimes, you have to take action.  If the process to take that action had been initiated months or years ago, then nobody who is against the Assad regime would be out of step.  Instead, the years of dithering have allowed Assad and his allies to proceed in the midst of everyone else's arguments about what to do.   I know this will be a news flash for everyone:   Assad and his allies aren't dithering.  They are focussed on their bad goals, and they are winning.  

Shut up.

No code.

I'm not interested in being told by other people when it is that I'm supposed to tell the President of the United States that I'm angry.

I'm angry today:  at him, at Congress, at all of the people who are helping Mr. Assad, at everyone in the world who could have stopped that war years ago and who was too cowardly or too greedy to do it. President Trump is going to meet with Mr. Assad next year or the year after?  Will Mr. Assad be invited to the White House?  Will the leaders of other countries have Mr. Assad to their homes, plan the dinners and the entertainment?   How do you sit in a room with someone who is a war criminal of this magnitude?  How do you do business with someone like him?   For how many of the next several hundred years will the United States argue with its allies about what to do with all of the refugees?

Evil has won.

Sometimes I think that the voyeurism and involuntary pornography that are happening to me and to EVERYONE AROUND ME, AGAIN, SICKENINGLY, can't continue forever, that there has to be someone who will put a stop to it. Then I think about the Syrian situation, and that's when I know that evil has won, because that situation is not only possible in 2018, it is the reality. It might take a few more decades for evil to enslave everyone and everything on the planet, but that is the direction that humanity has taken.

A broken record talking to a broken world

That's how I feel. You can't sexually harass people. You can't stalk people. You can't have sex with children.   You can't stone people to death. You can't arrest people on false charges and execute them. You can't film people in showers, restrooms, locker rooms, homeless shelters, psychiatric units, gyms, their own homes, or anywhere else that they have the reasonable expectation of privacy.   You can't hack people's phones, computers, email, bank accounts, or anything else, without a warrant.

What I had of life in 2010 was destroyed by a President who is a DEMOCRAT.  

"Chaotic, disappointing, embarrassing and dangerous" are adjectives that perfectly describe everything about the Obama years that those who want to profit from their association with him don't admit.

If he were to spend the rest of his life being a good person, it would not balance the atrocities that he has already inflicted.   He has destroyed his own country.  What has happened in Syria is genocide.   2016: http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2016/10/03/aleppo-international-community-has-turned-its-back-on-us.html

Have they taken the hidden, illegal cameras out of the locker rooms and showers of the YMCA where I and EVERYONE AROUND ME were criminally victimized by voyeurism in 2015?

Does the person who was Director of Operations at that YMCA then, who sent me an email in 2015, still work there? My phone was suddenly disabled from publishing pictures at this blog over the past few weeks, when I was writing a page about why Joe Biden shouldn't run for President.  That's why I can't publish a picture of that 2015 email from the then-Director of Operations at that YMCA.   This is a quote from the 2015 email: "I received a copy of your blog today that had my name in it where you made some awful allegations about me and this Y.  I have scaled those up to our corporate office and I am also consulting with a lawyer based on your slanderish allegations against me."   I'm sure that the conglomerate remembers ridiculing me for being criminally victimized by voyeurism at that gym.  That was after the conglomerate ridiculed me for being criminally victimized by voyeurism at homeless shelters and psychiatric units all over the Boston area, after the co

Bill Cosby ought to be convicted.

That doesn't mean that it's not sad.   I was a child and then a teenager when The Cosby Show was on television.  Until 1987, I lived in rural Vermont, where my parents did not buy cable television and where NBC was a blur of static.  After 1987, I lived in a less isolated area, and for some reason my parents then decided to pay for regular cable.  However, that was also the year that I started high school, so I didn't spend as much time watching television as I otherwise might have.    I just published this page; the draft of it had several additional paragraphs which were not published.  This has started to happen every once in a while this year.  Are people who hack my phone erasing what I write before I can publish it? I'll try to write the rest of it again: ___________________________________ My awareness of Bill Cosby was the awareness that the rest of the public had.  I thought that he was a good person; that's what he and the people who were part of his profe

The "sit anywhere" policy at Whole Foods

I never use that policy to sit at a small table that someone is saving with a coat. I never use that policy to sit at a large table that already has other people, if there are seats anywhere in the building that would give them and me the most available privacy. I never use that policy to sit at a table that already has someone at it, without asking. I never use that policy to sit at a table, small or large, where a male person who is 20 or 30 years younger than I am is already sitting, with or without asking.  

Media manipulation?

This morning, a television news show's segment about the retrial of Bill Cosby had a short clip in which a black woman said that it would be difficult for jurors to put aside the MeToo movement. Since I saw the segment and the clip in the midst of 100 homeless women talking, I don't know what was said by the voiceover before or after the clip.  I don't know who the woman was.   What I also don't know from the clip was if she meant that jurors should or that they shouldn't put aside the MeToo movement while hearing the testimony and evidence and deliberating their decision for this trial.   My first impression about the clip was that the woman was saying that jurors should treat MeToo as if it is irrelevant to the Bill Cosby trial.  However, that might not be what she had meant to say; it might be the impression that I had from how what she said was presented by the people who edited and published that clip.  

No code.

Over the past few months, I have started sometimes cringing when men look at me.

I don't do it all the time, and I'm not trying to do it.  A male person can glance over at me and I'll cringe as if he has hit me or is going to hit me.   I never thought that what has happened to me could happen to anyone; it is unconscionable.  I never thought that I'd live a horrifically abused life.
