100 years of sufferage

I toyed with coming out saying it was a failed experiment, but if I'm honest, feminine is proving to be very effective. New Zealand and Germany are run by a woman and they very much did the right thing (in stark contrast to the USA asshat). Women work better, they are relational and have empathy. I'll forever feel betrayed by American women who vote for Trump. Like an omnivore's ignoring the subjectivity of animals just as cute as their dog, they withhold sympathy in politics.

I can't be bothered to learn the history of suffrage this year. I've got enough projects already: Raise my daughter and create a meaningful life. I'm currently reading Flannery O'Connor and Dostoevsky, I read lots of Buddhism in the Pali Canon, and I gork out watching a lot of Netflix and Amazon Prime videos. I do most of the dishes, and am a pathetic houseminder, but I do spend a lot of time cleaning and taking out the garbage.

Homeschooling is hard. How do you explain she can't marry her mother because that would be incest?

When they fought for Suffrage, there was no TV, movies, phones, internet, Netflix. Netflix has some amazing movies for children:

Song of the Sea

The Prophet

The Breadwinner

The Neverending Story

Manet and Degas

Brilliant video explaining the exhibit. Go to the Met and see the exhibit! It's really quite special. In the last gallery the painting this sketch is based off of, of the execution of a Mexican president. The painting has been cut into sections, and the surviving Degas has reassembled them.

The case for Harris

Motley Kamuka Blog endorses Kamala Harris. In general, Trump just wants to lower taxes on the rich, and do nothing, sell whatever influence he can to line his pockets. Apparently the emoluments clause in the constitution has no teeth. Harris has a set of ideas about policy that are fairly middle of the road. In most countries she's would be seen as a centrist. Spin about her radical agendas are exaggerated. I'm not sure how he got past " grab them by the pussy ", but he did and here we are. Women: Obviously the idea of giving women pregnancy tests at the borders of the state, and then if they come back and don't have a baby, they go to jail, isn't really what most women want. Pick Harris. I understand if you think abortion is murder, maybe you've been told that by the Catholic church, which has the same ideal of Buddhism that you don't kill--so follow your religion for yourself. Not everyone is Christian or Buddhist or even has a religion. Women are ...

Gravity's Rainbow Notes Franz Pokler

From pp 397-433: Franz Pokler , a German rocket scientist. He is marginally associated with early attempts to develop rockets in the 1920's. During the war, Weissmann controls Pokler, giving him routine assignments and keeping him in line by allowing him yearly visits from a girl who he says is Pokler's daughter. The girl spends the rest of the year in a concentration camp, and Weissmann's implied threat is that she will be killed if Pokler fails to cooperate with Weissmann's scheme. Weissmann's purpose is to use Pokler to make one small part for the A4 rocket. In the end, having performed his task, Pokler is released; Slothrop meets him living quietly in the ruins of a children's village after the end of the war. His daughter also survives.
