My wonderful brother Randy sent me a gift

For those that don’t know starting in 2013 my childhood abuse started to crash over me.  I struggled daily to work and keep it together but I had started to again self harm.  I would take a very sharp blade and draw it across my forearms and watch the blood flow.  Yes the feelings when I did that released good endorphins.  When Ron found out, he took to hiding knives, especially all his X Acto tools he had for the crafts he had.  But he forgot about my long time pocket knife, a jack knife I had had for a very long time.  I kept it to a razor edge.  

But in March 2014 I fell into total breakdown.  I wanted the memories to stop, I was reliving them constantly with full emotions and body feels including smells along with tastes.  I was close to choosing to end my life.  I was doing my best to hide it from Ron, but by this time I was refusing to leave my bedroom other than for my pain doctor visits, which Ron who was working 12 hour night shifts would take me to.  

This is where Randy stepped up, became my brother and maybe saved my life.  Randy had entered my life earlier and was a grand online commenter to my first blog and we formed a great friendship.  Randy is a really great writer, and anyone that has read his posts here knows he can write very well.  Far better than I can.  He started to send me his stories and I enjoyed them.   Then he sent a story about a man in a food court saving an abused child.   It triggered me into a bad episode because of the break down I was dealing with.  

I was very upset and wrote back to Randy about how his story was great and so real to life it had triggered me badly, and I was really struggling.  Randy right away reached out to me online apologizing and eventually as we kept talking he asked for my phone number.   This was before my total melt down when I started hurting my self.  Randy and I talked on the phone … which was rare for me.  One of the worst beatings I got as a kid was reaching up to the ringing wall phone and going to hand it to the adults there.   I was never to use the phone.  It was beaten into me.  Never touch the phone.  I now realized they were worried I would report my abuse.  

Randy and I got to be close friends.   Then when I started hurting my self, deeply cutting my arms, refusing to leave my bedroom, and wanted to die, Randy who was working 12 hour night shift in a hard job would have his phone on so if I felt myself slipping I could call him.   Hour after hour he talked to me, denying himself sleep as he kept me grounded.  I could call him anytime … and I did as I was about to use the knife on my skin I would put it down to pick up the phone.  I talked to him about everything I never told anyone.  I poured myself out to him and he was there.  He was the brother I really desperately need but never had growing up.  He became my brother in every way that ever matters.  

I tell all this because I have been under the weather and Ron just lost his brother.  So Randy sent me a gift.  He is a grand brother.   He sent me an insulated cup.   Here are the pictures.   Randy is one of a kind.  He does have a grand sense of humor.   I love him.

How They Taught Teen Boys About Their Private Parts in 1958. Would Schools Teach This Today?

A coach telling boys it is ok to masturbate and to call it rubbing themselves … wow those 1950s teachers were real groomers by standards of the Lib’s of TikTok. Mom’s of Liberty, and red state republicans.   Hugs.  Scottie

To me, this sex education high school film, which ran in thousands of schools across America back in the late 1950s, is perfectly reasonable. I saw something in school like it although I had already learned most of what it said from other boys in class talking.

But talking about sperm, ejaculation, the penis, having an erection, masturbation, about puberty in general and boys seems to me like in many schools in America today, they would not allow this conversation. I am interested to hear your comments on whether this is being taught in your child’s school.

Sex education in schools has been around a long time. Some parents and political leaders felt that it should never be taught in the schools. Some parents and political leaders today fear that has gone too far by teaching sex in such a way that alternatives to a man and a woman relationship are being discussed.

This is clearly a film for teenage boys in part because it just talks about the facts. No emotion. No other issues. I feel that even today, this is a manner of speaking that boys feel comfortable with.

In case you are asking, films for teenage girls talk about these issues such as a girls. In a completely different fashion and style. They were smart about that when they made these films.

I was a fairly shy teenager and did not kiss girls after a date until they kissed me. But I know that there were other boys in my class who are far more aggressive. as a teenage boy in the 1950s, I knew extraordinarily little about teenage girls and what their dating experience was like. If you are a teenage boy or a young man watching this, you have a lot more of a sense of what women are like then we did back then. If you are a teenage girl or young woman watching this, things I think have changed a great deal in terms of the ethics and morals this film is trying to convince teenage girls and boys to accept as the way things should be. I would be interested in comments on sexual mores today both in the United States and around the world and how they relate to what is being presented here.

EXPLAINED: Why TERF-In-Chief JK Rowling Is Celebrating Trans-Care Review Findings | Erin Reed | TMR

To be clear I have had both the Cass report and the wpath files thrown at me by anti-trans hater activists.  What they refuse to do is listen to the follow up that destroys each of these as false, misleading, taken out of context, and in some cases what the haters claim is directly against what both reported finding.  Like anti-vaxxers and maga, the anti-trans terfs feel comfortable lying about what really is to try to convince people that their weird views are correct.  I have looked into this and even some people that claim to be my friend on this channel refuse to hear or read anything that disagrees with their anti-trans ideas.  Even when those ideas are clearly proven wrong.  They are no different from Covid / vaccine deniers, flat earthers, and others who prefer their prejudices and old ways to the accual facts.  Hugs.  Scottie

Well it happened again

Hi everyone.  It happened again.  With Ron gone, I had to go shopping Wednesday.   Yes I went among humanity or as some would say “the unwashed masses of heathens”, or as I say people like me.  And Friday I started to feel bad, crappy, shitty.  Sure enough I woke at 3:20 am ill.  I was sweating, congested, feeling like I needed to vomit, then have three times today.   I am getting so I hate going out.  Almost every time I get sick.  And it is not like I am going up to people and face snogging them.  I respect personal space, I try not to catch anything.  Well the consequence is yesterday and all day today I have not been able to get to the comments.   I doubt I will get to many today, I can hardly sit here and read.   Ron will be home tonight about 10:30 or 11 pm.  I had wanted to clean the house some.  But I have barely been out of bed.  I already feel the need to go back to bed and I have only been up about an hour.  So again as always if you leave a comment that I don’t respond to in a few days (I seem to be almost always two days behind) please recommend, send me a not telling me, anything.  But if you send me an email please tell me in the comments of any post.  I find email the biggest pain in the butt, just a bit less annoying than fussy cats.   Best wishes, respect, loves, and hugs to all.   Scottie

DEBUNKED: Bill Maher On Canada

Let’s talk about Trump and Biden debating or not….

Naughty Nana DUZ Clips for Sunday.

Republican Clay Higgins went from being, in my opinion as racist cop and a bully, to a Congressman who bullies others. Bayou Brief Black parents warn their sons about cops like this guy.
I appreciate all points of view on my channel. However, when they get ugly, I have to remove those comments. If you disagree with me, great!! That’s how we get a good dialogue going. I don’t allow misinformation, and if you find that I have misspoke or was flat out wrong about something, I usually recheck my info and find that Snopes.com usually has both the conspiracy theories or whatever and gives the correct info. When some attack me, it’s not a problem, depending on how bad it is, if it is really bad it will be taken down. so don’t be afraid to correct me. We all make mistakes, and sometimes, stroke brain gets it wrong. I love, be safe, and take care of you 💗
*I found mire info, and there is some discrepancy and weather the Mom knew he was armed. I believe she knew because there were pictures of him before the BLM protests that WERE on his Facebook page. Apparently, his friend bought the weapon for him because he was underage, but she still knew what she was driving him into*
Drag King Kari seems to believe life begins at conception and thinks the 1864 law should prevail. Now that she is catching on that the script Trump gave her to memorize, lost her the election in 202. She is trying on trump’s revamped stance now that the Arizona Supreme Court handed down the Handmaid’s Gilead law.
Pierre Poilievre, the opposition leader of the Canadian Conservative Party, is reading Trump’s script almost verbatim! Both are Pro-Life, both are union busters, and they both think that immigrants are stealing our jobs and driving down wages! NOT TRUE! We have a federal minimum wage. It just went up to $17.30 as of April 1st. Server wage is $16.30/hr.

Virus …

Virus …

Thank you Ten Bears for this video.  I strongly suggest everyone spread it around as much as possible.  The right knows they can not win on their policies and ideas.  Also tRump is not as strong as the polling suggests because of many factors, but just think who is answering surveys and polls right now.  Older white angry rural people.  The basic Fox News tRump base.   Back to the video and why we need to spread it around.  The big money on the right know they have to cheat and do everything possible to hurt Biden so tRump might win.  One of the things they are doing is funding RFK jr and helping his campaign.  His people even admit it, their goal is to get Biden to lose.  Along with funding a huge number of maga gang thugs to do poll watching, to intimidate and challenge black / brown voters, they are conducting massive voter purges in mostly democratic areas.  Limiting voting places in big democratic cites, while making sure every rural vote is easy to cast in republican voting areas.  They cheat because they are a driven minority that wants to rule over the majority.   Don’t let them destroy the country.  Spread the word.  Hugs.  Scottie

Division in Oregon highlights growing political rift between rural and urban areas

Thank you, Ten Bears for sharing this video so I could post it.  What I want every one to understand is something the news reporters and the station buried.   The people upset and demanding this huge change … are only 20% of the population.  Now I listened to it three times and I couldn’t decide if they were saying the people in the county or the rural people in the country.  To me it sounded like country wide the rural people were demanding and were 20% of the population.   Which sounds right if you look at population maps.   Do you understand what that is?   A small minority is demanding the entire country abandon its progressive move forward into the modern age so a small segment of the population can be satisfied and happy.  It is minority rule over the majority.   It is not democracy!   It is what the fundamentalist Christians are trying to do right now to every red state on LGBTQ+ issues. Are we as a country going to allow the most violent vocal segments of our society force us back to a regressive past that will eventually destroy what the US really is and could be?   Hugs.   Scottie

The divide between rural and urban areas in the United States has been growing in recent decades with grievances and political consequences on both sides. Judy Woodruff traveled across Oregon to learn more about that rift for her series, America at a Crossroads.
