#ThursdayThoughts: Photoshoots For Awareness (With A Haiku For #NationalPoetryDay)

For Breast Cancer Awareness Month (and a dentastick), Reilly (albe reluctantly) cooperated to wear a very-dark-pink ribbon to raise awareness (and yes, she was sleepy and yawned once).





For Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Week, which is from September 30th-October 6th (Reilly didn't like the "Flash" setting that "Momma" tested, by the way.).

(Besides, "Momma" was literally shaking even on the floor when she was laying down trying to try to pink and blue bow onto the pink and blue collar. You try kneeling in front of the couch and tying the bow for about an hour before having to lay down to try it after your arms and hands get tired because of Cerebral Palsy. You will shake, and anyone decent would encourage you to do that photoshoot with your puppy for whom you tied the bow. OCD/Anxiety does not help, by the way.).








For Mental Illness Awareness Week, which is October 7th-13th, since quite a few mental-illness-awareness ribbons either are orange or are partially orange.

PS For #NationalPoetryDay, an extend haiku:

Helping "Momma" raise

Awareness is the fluffball

That everyone knows

As the Reilly Rosalita

Who loves all people

And wants them to be healthy

As well as help those

Whom need a little more help

Than other people...

Even if only to have

As many people

Around as is possible

To give her scritches

And all of the belly rubs

In the whole wide world 😉

(Everyone knows that Reilly's

(Not really the kind

(To love people only for

(What they can give her)

#MaltipooMonday & #MemoryMonday: An Example Of A Typical Week At La Casa de Reily Rosalita

PS Quite a few of the dynamics with which Reilly and Camille have to deal are encompassed within this video alone (and the video was a livestream).

An Early Simchat Torah Card From Reilly and Camille

PS:

1. The passage shown on the Torah scroll is the "Shema", via Mechon Mamre and modified to take out the sidra and parsha indicators as well as the verse numbers.
2. This is one of the more-elaborate cards. It also uses older pictures, although "older" here is only from September 25th and these pictures make sense in light of "you shall teach them diligently unto your children ["beneikha"], and you shall talk of them when you...lie down and when you rise up." 
3. For there to be a Chag Simchat Torah on the eighth (in the Diaspora among most Rabbinical Jews, ninth) day of Sukkot actually makes sense for multiple reasons, notwithstanding that Karaite and other objections are understandable.

Commentary: "Conflate"? And "Plain Meaning"?

How can Kellyanne Conway as a sexual-abuse survivor herself work with an self-admitted sexual abuser? There's no conflating about it. Supporting Kavanaugh and ***** is saying to her own sexual abuser, "What you did to me is okay." After all, you can't knowingly support some unrepentant sexual abusers and not support others at the same time. If you're supporting any sexual abusers with full knowledge of what they did and/or are doing, you are by extension supporting your own if you yourself were and/or are a victim of sexual abuse. Thus, an answer like the following one to a question about your own hypocrisy would be all the more inappropriate and intellectually dishonest:

"Don't conflate that with this, and certainly don't conflate that with what happened to me."

Translation: "Stop confronting me about my hypocrisy, and certainly stop telling me to refrain from revictimizing fellow sexual-abuse victims and survivors."

Meanwhile, in regard to a case that involves hypocrisy concerning non-sexual abuse—namely, "Schreiber v. McCamet et. al." (2018)

• At least Senator Blunt did something right for once during this whole xenophobic, misogynistic, and racist ***** Era, especially since (I guarantee you that) the same ruling would not have been made had the adoptee been a White boy or any girl that ***** and *****ites would consider (forgive the language) a token—and with the Armed Forces not being keen on *****'s plan for a military parade and the adoptee in question being a South Korean and not a North Korean (let alone one whom either escaped from or somehow got special permission to leave North Korea), ***** and *****ites are likely to all the more see adoptee as useless and even detrimental to them. As for Non-White boys, for the same ruling to have been made might've actually been possible given that ***** and *****ites would likely see no value in someone whom they couldn't try to use for a "Women for *****" schtick, especially with the current events at hand—ones that certainly make female voters and to-be voters more of a target voting demographic than male voters and to-be voters.   
• That judge basically just sent a huge (forgive the language) "**** you. I don't care about your military service" to Lt. Col. Schreiber and his family, as well as to other military families, and an "I don't care about your service" to other Armed Forces members and their families.
• The only "plain meaning" there, then, is that the judge would've ruled to let the delayed adoption process continue to go through now had the adoptee been a 17-year-old White boy or Non-White girl whom he found useful for "MAGA" and "America First" ends, never mind that putting America first actually includes letting Armed Forces members whom have served honorably as well as been of good character adopt any child whom wants to be adopted by him or her.

Therefore, "hypocrisy" still means "hypocrisy" just as "is" still means "is" and has a definition around which nobody can get—whether whomever tries to get around it is Kellyanne Conway, a bigoted judge, or anyone else.

PS Many voters and many to-be voters whom have read all of this probably have an increased desire that the October Surprise is that Special Counselor Mueller indicts *****—I know that I do after just reading about the continuing hypocrisy of ***** and his supporters. 

PPS That I wrote about whomever ***** would nominate and included the following was surprisingly prescient, especially given that I wrote what I wrote in July(!):

"Now-Former President Obama admitted his general disdain for most conservatives as well as most moderate & leaning-moderate people on all sides—and at least he, as far as I know, doesn't have any forcibly-aborted children or sexual-harassment victims in his wake."

Dr. Blasey Ford made her allegations in July, and (as I predicted) Kavanaugh is indeed a ***** sycophant and (as I unbeknownstly-to-myself predicted) fellow sexual abuser of *****. 


(By the way, Julie Swetnick's own indiscretions do not mean that she wasn't sexually abused by Kavanaugh. So, don't automatically assume that he has only two known victims in his wake.)

Update: A Not-So-Belated-After-All "Belated" Card From Reilly

PS:

1. L'Erev Shabbat Sukkot v'Shabbat Sukkot Haba'ah Same'ach u'Mevorakh—not to mention the last Shabbat in September! Take some coffee into your sukkah with you, especially if you live in an area in which the days and nights are getting colder.
2. "Momma" has been doing quite a few belated cards lately, since she's been busy and tired (though coffee has helped keep her awake) for only-Yehovah-ultimately-knows-what reasons (although she knows that one reason is the changing weather, which has also affected Reilly). ^☕
3. This is the first time that "Momma" has used Powerpoint's Design Ideas suggestions, although it was close to her original idea, anyway, and she had to modify Powerpoint's suggestion a little bit (as Picture Two was supposed to be where Picture Three is, and she thus had to move the textboxes that she created around. That's one example why "Momma" hasn't used Powerpoint's Design Ideas suggestions in the past.) 
4. ^☕ "Momma" saw "National Coffee Day" trending on Twitter on the 27th. Then a tweet that Dukin' Donuts® just sent out came up in her Twitter timeline. (Whatever—every day is Belated National Coffee Day for "Momma", and Reilly can tell that and tolerate "Momma" partly for that reason 😉!).

Sukkot begins on the 25th at sundown, and on Reilly's four-and-a-half-year Gregorian birthday (L'Chetzi Yom Huledet Same'ach, Reilly!).
