Southern summer challenge, día 1

1ro. de Diciembre • ¿Te gusta el verano?

Siii, me gusta mucho el verano. El calor no es de mi agrado pero el Sol me anima. El cielo luce hermoso y despejado, el aire es cálido y se siente la libertad. Además, mi cumpleaños es en febrero por lo que el verano me emociona. Todavía es primavera, pero ya estoy pensando en las actividades veraniegas que quiero hacer.

December 1st. • Do you like summer?

Yeeees, I love summer. I don't like hot weather but the sun cheers me up. The sky looks beautiful and clear, the air is warm and you can feel free. Also, my birthday is in February so summer gets me excited. It's still spring, but I'm already thinking about the summery activities I want to do.

Social Theory Week 2: Karl Marx

*my mood board made with not my pictures*

Marx was a wild dude. Do y’all know how many times he was arrested and/or banned/expelled/“asked to leave” from countrie(s)?

At least a good few.

He would be thriving (and also fuming) if he was born in our days.

My Sociopathy

I'm probably one of the only rational people who gets the feeling their margin for error in social situations is way less than others. That treating others around you equitably and kindly applies to everyone except me. Others could slip up up multiple times and be easily forgiven, I make one small error or faux pas and that's it: ghosted, gatekept, no longer welcome. I'd like to think I have a good enough heart, decent enough intentions, but people live in an irrational fear and hatred of everything I am. Others are let in with the smallest of gestures while I have to climb mountains to earn the same level of trust. Every criticism on me damming while all else would be salvageable when it wouldn't apply to me.

They say everyone is somebody's type. I know that's wrong because people are always shocked by how little I succeed at forming connections that give me a haven. I actively play the situation as well as who I am allows me to and yet I'm always laughed off whenever I suggest I was enough to get even the smallest spark. I don't have friends, I have people I call friends because I don't have anyone in my life to lean on. I haven't had a true person to support me since before I hit puberty, so when I say I'm an emotional orphan it isn't an exaggeration.

In this way, I'm not a sociopath by choice. I am because it's the only way I knew how to survive and reconcile with the realities of the cruelty in which my environment(s) treat me. Valued for what I offer for others, never enjoyed for my presence alone. When I start to care about someone, I basically let them pick out the place in my back they get to stab me beforehand. I've gotten betrayed so many times, the returns I get on resilience are negligent. Complete trust in anyone is a far-flung myth for me, I operate on how I predict someone to behave, having faith in any mortal is the folly of someone whom is actually liked by others.

Imagine how easy life would be with an ounce of moral affinity. Imagine people feeling comfortable connecting with you when you try to make every burgeoning feeling clear instead of shrouding yourself in the illusion of control. Imagine believing someone saying they, individually, find you attractive and not just well, you're not unattractive, idk why you think you're ugly. Imagine altruistically offering kindness and getting even more than 1% of it back. Imagine being able to feel like when someone doesn't want you around it's not personal. Not a single person values me enough to stay with me when I'm needed. I always used to say in my teenage years, when it was much more likely, I doubt I would even get a single reluctant visitor if I fell into a coma.

How do I know I lost something I never had? I see how other people are treated: with fairness, with kindness, with compassion, with empathy, with attraction, with love, with caring, with humanity. I am not so lucky. I am not hated a way that's clearly explicit, but I always start from the lowest point possible in the credit I'm given for a basic existence. I've had people trust rapists, abusers, predators, and murderers before they found the capacity to trust me. I am the embodiment of what humanity seems to hate and they can't even justify why.

Three years straight of this -: apologizes for picking others over me w/o a conflict of interest me: I failed you too, dw about it -: I really value your friendship and want to get closer me: so you do feel something for me? I can never be certain -: no? that kinda makes me uncomfortable you would even think that me, to myself: idk, maybe the weeks up until all this when you were flirting with me and completely found it okay for me to care about you, especially giving every indication I voluntarily gave you privileges no one else gets me, thinking: aight, let's get this over with

People don't get what not being good enough means anymore. You don't have to have a reason the person isn't good enough. They can just be that way. The way I always am. The Suffering in my name isn't a meme, it's a prophecy that is never wrong. People are quick to defend and say 30 isn't too old when I've been feeling this way since 27. The tone changes really quick when the age gap is more than 3 years and they align my actions with my face.

I am hated, for no other reason than existing. I am loathed because I am not something desirable. If it never changes, I am supposed to be the bitter villain. Every time I try to be, I feel too miserable to carry on in conveying my vitriol. My entire life is defined by the failure of everyone besides my kin, for entirely self-invested reasons, seeing the potential in me to do good. Should humanity be worth protecting for me, when all it does it alienate me?

Merry Christmas

3º de Diciembre • ¿Ya estás de vacaciones?

¡Todavía no! Mis vacaciones empiezan el 30 de diciembre. Faltan un par de semanas para mis exámenes y entrega de trabajos finales, así que este es un mes ocupado. Igual estoy tratando de mantener un espíritu festivo, conseguir los regalos de Navidad a tiempo y cumplir mis últimos objetivos del año.

Who Would Best Represent Your State - Based on Demographic Data

Note: scroll to the bottom of this post to see how I came to these conclusions and notes on terms/definitions.

Note (pt 2): this is based on demographic data I researched just for fun, this isn’t anything definitive of scientific. I compared numbers and/or found the highest % of certain categories to find a basis for what the most basic generalized population of each state is. Whatever the outcome was = the answer to who would best represent that state (generally)

If your state doesn’t list any “has an interest in,” it’s because your state didn’t rank higher than the national average in disabled population, population without health insurance, or poverty, and didn’t rank lower in employment compared to the national average. 

Alabama: A young, White, Republican woman with an interest in disability, health insurance, poverty, and employment. 

Arizona: An older, Native American, bilingual male Democrat with an interest in disability, health insurance, employment, and poverty.

Alaska: A young, Native American, bilingual male Republican with an interest in health insurance and disability.

Arkansas: A young, White female Republican with an interest in poverty, employment, disability, and health insurance

California: A young Latinx male or female Democrat who is bilingual, comes from an immigrant background, and has an interest in poverty.

Colorado: A middle aged White male Democrat.

Connecticut: A young to middle aged female Democrat who is bilingual and comes from an immigrant background.

Delaware: An older White female Democrat with an interest in disability and employment.

Florida: An older White female Republican who is bilingual, has an immigrant background, and an interest in employment, health insurance, and poverty.

Georgia: A young Black female Democrat with an interest in poverty, employment, and disability. 

Hawaii: An older male Native Hawaiian or Asian Democrat who is bilingual, has an immigrant background, and an interest in employment.

Idaho: A young White male Republican with an interest in insurance, disability, and employment.

Illinois: A young to middle aged White female Democrat with an immigrant background who is interested in poverty. 

Indiana: A young White female Republican with an interest in disability and poverty. 

Iowa: A young to middle aged White male Republican.

Kansas: A young White male Republican with an interest in disability and insurance

Kentucky: A young White female Republican with an interest in disability, employment, and poverty. 

Louisiana: A young Black female Republican with an interest in disability, employment, and poverty. 

Maine: An older White female Democrat with an interest in disability and employment.  

Maryland: A young Black female Democrat with an immigrant background.

Massachusetts: Any age White female Democrat who is bilingual and has an immigrant background

Michigan: Any age White female Democrat with an interest in disability, employment, and poverty.

Minnesota: A young White male Democrat

Mississippi: A young Black female Republican with an interest in disability, health insurance, poverty, and employment.

Missouri: A young to middle age White female Republican with an interest in disability, poverty, and health insurance. 

Montana: An older White male Republican with an interest in disability and health insurance. 

Nebraska: A young White male Republican

Nevada: A young White male Democrat who is bilingual, has an immigrant background, and has an interest in health insurance and poverty.

New Hampshire: An older White female Democrat.

New Jersey: A middle aged to older White female Democrat who is bilingual and has an immigrant background. 

New Mexico: A younger Latina female Democrat who is bilingual and has an interest in disability, health insurance, poverty, and employment.

New York: An older White female Democrat who is bilingual, from an immigrant background, and has an interest in employment and poverty

North Carolina: An older White female Republican with an interest in disability, health insurance, employment, and poverty. 

North Dakota: A younger Native American male Republican with an interest in health insurance.

Ohio: A middle aged to older White female Republican with an interest in disability and poverty.

Oklahoma: A younger Native American female Republican with an interest in disability, insurance, employment, and poverty. 

Oregon: An older White female Democrat with an interest in disability, employment, and poverty. 

Pennsylvania: An older White female Democrat with an interest in disability, employment, and poverty. 

Rhode Island: An older White female Democrat who is bilingual, has an immigrant background, and an interest in disability. 

South Carolina: An older White female Republican with an interest in disability, employment, and poverty. 

South Dakota: A younger Native American male Republican with an interest in health insurance and poverty.

Tennessee: A younger to middle aged White female Republican with an interest in disability, insurance, employment, and poverty. 

Texas: A young Latina female Republican who is bilingual, has an immigrant background, and an interest in health insurance and poverty.

Utah: A young White male Democrat with an interest in health insurance. 

Vermont: An older White female with an interest in disability.

Virginia: Any age White female Democrat

Washington: Any age White male Democrat with an immigrant background

West Virginia: An older White female with an interest in disability, employment, and poverty

Wisconsin: A middle aged to old White male Democrat

Wyoming: A younger White male Republican with an interest in disability and health insurance.

Terms I Used:

“Young”; older than 18 but younger than 50

“Middle aged”; older than 40 but younger than 65

“Older”; older than 50

“an interest in”; what they plan to improve the current condition of within the state

“Disability”; disability rights, advocacy, accessibility, benefits, representation, services...

“Health insurance”; access to health insurance and/or health services

“Employment”; economy, financial opportunity, unemployment, career assistance, etc. 

“Poverty”; public assistance, ending poverty, homelessness, etc.  

“White”;  For purposes of this experiment and based on the fact that some of these states wouldn’t make sense without this exception, assume “white” means only skin color, not culture or ethnicity. Ex. Florida calls for a bilingual White person with an immigrant background. This can be a Latinx person who’s skin tone and features meet the generally accepted societal definition of “white,” but this person is still Latinx. 

“Latinx/Latina/Latino”: population who reported “Hispanic or Latino” in the census

How I Came to These Conclusions:

I looked at the US Census data for each state. The data shows population percentages. Here’s how I calculated each: 

Age: the national population percentage of people younger than 18 is 22.2%, for people older than 65 it’s 16.8%. For example, Hawaii’s population is 21.1% under the age of 18, lower than the national average, but the population for people older than 65 is 19.6%, higher than the national average. For that reason, an older person best represents the overall state of Hawaii since there’s more older people than younger (in this method)

Why: age and generational interests matter, politically. If a state is overruled by a younger generation that’s ran by older politicians, it’s not representative of the state’s population and will likely lead to a bad time.

Sex: if the population is more than 50% female, a female best represents that state. If it’s lower than 50%, a male best represents that state. 

Race: the race that has the highest population percentage, with one exception. For racial minorities, if the population % is double that of the national average, that race best represents that state. For example, the national population % of “American Indian and Alaska Native alone” is 1.3%. In Arizona, the population is 5.3%, far more than the national %. In another example, the national % of "Black or African American alone” is 13.6%. In Mississippi, it’s 38%, more than double the national population %.

Why: there’s a disproportionate amount of White American’s compared to any other racial classification, that’s why we use the term racial minority. Every state aside from maybe 1 or 2 would’ve been White if there wasn’t an exception. Whether doubling the number for minority populations is statistically equitable is uncertain, I just kinda made it up since this isn’t official research. 

Immigrant Background: the national population % of “foreign-born persons” is 13.6%. If a state has a higher percent, a person with an immigrant background best represents that state.

Why: if a state has a high population of people who weren’t born in the US, the state should best represent their interests, culture, background, experiences, etc. 

Bilingual: the national population who speaks a language other than English at home is 21.7%. If a state has a higher number, a bilingual person who speaks the common second language of that state best represents the state. 

Why: if a politician is representing the people, they should speak the language(s) of the people who they represent. If a state has a high population that doesn’t speak English at home, “the people” are people who speak a different language. 

Disability Interests: The national population of people who report being disabled and/or receive disability pay is 8.7%. If a state has a higher %, the state needs a representative with the interests of disabled people.

Why: if the state has a high disabled population, they should be represented by somebody who a) is disabled, b) has experiences with disability, or c) is educated in relevant subjects that will allow them to best represent and advocate for the disabled population of their state.

Health Insurance: the national population without health insurance is 9.8%. If a state has a higher %, they need to be represented by someone with this interest. 

Why: if the state has a high % of people who don’t have health insurance, they should be represented by somebody who is willing to fight to give them access to health insurance or, at least, at the bare minimum, health services. 

Employment: 63.1% of the nation is in the “labor force,” if a state has a lower number, they need to be represented by someone who has this interest

Why: employment boosts the local economy, which, in this system, is good on the broad scale of things. If the state lacks in an employed population, it should be the state’s job to find out why, what the effects are (or will be), and how they can improve it. 

Poverty: 11.6% national poverty was reported on the last census. If the state has a higher %, they should be represented by someone with this interest

Why: poverty is bad. We don’t need to be represented by people who want to wage war on poverty, we need to be represented by people who want to wage rescue on poverty. Not just financially. There’s a lot more to poverty than just money and housing.

Sunday, 03.01.21. 14/100 days of productivity

-30′ cardio workout.

-25′ meditation with Insight Timer.

-Finished Chap 2 on Foundational Figures from Anthropology of Religion.

-Read one article on the different definitions of “Religion” in the disciplines of Social Sciences. 

-Re-read my notes of the conference given by Jeanne Favret-Saada on peasant witchcraft from the Mayenne countryside based on her book Deadly Words: Witchcraft in the Bocage (1977).

-Read Chap 1 in Sociology of Labor

Today I did most of my work from midnight until 5:30 in the morning because I felt pretty cosy, focused and very into the content. I had a rather calm day and took time to exercise and meditate. Managing a Chronic Illness can be frustrating sometimes, what helps me is to try to accept rather than reject the pain, which to me becomes possible by creating moments of space to restore.

Sending you loving vibe, xx
