It is the true teacher who leaves the class knowing they have learned the most.

The Franz Kafka bot focuses mostly his diaries. Current topic was his hard stop with romance and insistence that his life not be subsumed into an ordinary one in his difficult relationship to Felice Bauer. It led to him being described as a "terrible boyfriend! Imagine that!馃槆馃槇

Nice! Do you remember of have them to see which works wore recorded. I don't know how old you are, but I was no where near "kid" when Butthole Surfers first brought there rock rap fusion supreme irony to the stage. I hope you are able to keep those. Worth it! 馃榾

EARWORMED! I gotcha! At least the Butthole Surfers are out of *my* head now. Best cure for an earworm is to give it so someone else. It seems to work wonders. 馃ぃ

I used the term "Shame of Life" in a post and got earwormed by Butthole Surfer's song of that name. Consider it comic relief. xo/m

Great at rhetoric but joyless person. Didn't finish most of his works, cruel father, major depression, lost most of his family in death camps, was into 'disturbing" porn, used sex-workers and reviewed them in local news. His work was published against his wishes after his death.

I deal with it from experience not only in family but in my poor people choices. I can read individuals and groups with high accuracy but by wanting so desperately to see good in humans, I have "lie/harm" blindness: when I know lies and harm are real, I blame myself. WTF is that?
I do believe in terminally ill patients when they reach intolerable pain shoud absolutely have the legal right to choose asissted death. This isn't suicide to me, but I'm borrowing oncology and palliative care ideas with the opiate form of compassionate death.

My friend was told "you can meet a nice disabled man with that talent." HA! She was into all kinds of colorful things. Did one inform the other? Does it really matter? My husband's story is truly horrible yet he was so strong. Helped me know what love actually means. That's rare.
I have so I must be uninspirational! I could have been covert but I wasn't build that way. Processor is externally installed. Replacing it is too dangerous now :)

Agree except if I can inspire as educator, friend, helper - as service and empathy. My husband and my once partner in music crimes were wheelchair bound and got such bullshit for "being independent" or my friend "A girl with a guitar, and that voice, inspirational!" Judgement sux

One issue with ableism is diminishing, increasing and comparing pain. People often talk about conditions they suffer and apologize for my "worse" issues. Or, diminish issues "it can't be that bad you're so energetic" avoid with me. Pain is pain and suffering just sucks full stop.

I misunderstand myself so there you have it. ;-) Some want conflict. I enjoy intellectual debate, not conflict fights, but I get caught in it sometimes. Learning to walk away is a huge life lesson and I do it better but gosh it took me a long time desiring help only to be harmed.

Context, it's said, is everything. I agree with your distinction here. Exception: People don't understand what they see, even psych and med folks can't differentiate comorbidity or cause in complex cases (hiya) and end up blaming the patient for what they do not know.

This is such courage, speaking of family. Don't stop loving them Guy because despite their bad acts and involvement in DC's insurgency, they did at least one thing right - you.
As much as I love my family, this is false, every last fee going to my college is off the back of a pell grant. No one paid for my college except that pell grant, this is not a jab at my family.

What the fuck you talking about with the cursing and shit? C'mon, Jersey Girl. When relaxed I can turn sailors blue. Truth! I agree with the climate issue as I sit in Tucson, #3 warmest city in USA this year, ahead of Phoenix I read. They're #4 on the list I saw.

Abuse would include warmongering and genocide of course in my philosophy but fierce and non-violent words can be a form of salvation.

Hahaha - it is dark. And brilliant. But so dark! :) Someone wants the @ let me find it. You can use avoidance if it is that disruptive. The Kafka lineage and Eastern European Jews of that era were not a happy combination at all ;-)
Brutal as family life was, I love and forgive them all. I realized after losing almost all my family how trauma is not just one traumatized/unwell person, but what I now refer to as "Arcs of Trauma" - from generation to generation. Anyone else see that in family? Maybe age/time?
