An old school man would say "women let their feelings cloud their judgement"... while he pats your bottom and snaps your bra at work on a daily basis. Well,
Horny is a feeling!
So put your dick feelings away, they're clouding your judgement. Boomerang!
(hey, Lil, Walt Disney called and asked how many decades have you been sitting on that joke?)
(and then 1985 called and offered you a job writing sitcoms)
(and then 1998 or 2002 called and asked for its so-and-so-called-and-wants-their-shit-back joke)

A Logical Look At Life After Death
In death, we assume we will find relief from physical pain and mental/emotional conflict. That's why we have words like suicide and euthanasia.
Everyone seems to agree that:
1. Death brings Peace.
2. Peace is the opposite of Conflict.
There are only 2 ways it can go if you think it's gonna be peaceful:
1. you could cease to exist at all
2. you could go on to some other type of existence where you know everything
Most people like the idea that everyone who has died is at some sort of eternal family reunion, and will be there to greet us when we arrive.
Ok, well, let's pretend that is true for a minute, and apply the peace logic...
How would we experience peace on the other side? Without a body, the experience would be mental, and also would have to be instinctual in order to perpetuate our species. Which indicates genetic memory/collective knowledge becoming conscious knowledge and you would know everything there is to know when you cross over.
"oh, it works like this"
"so this is how I fit in"
"so this is what I must do next"
No conflict to be had there which is peace.
Which takes away your options. And your free will. You would have to take your place in nature's larger mechanism, as a gear in the wheel of some cycle that is perpetuated by a quest for evolution of the species, which is more important than who you were when you were alive that one time. You would have to have no ego at all, basically you'd have to give it up to perpetuate the species and reincarnate or otherwise add to the evolution. Which sucks because I always wanted to be a ghost. But I wanna be a ghost that is me! My dreams have been shattered! By me!
I shattered my own dreams!
Well, maybe some of us are fucking special and we get to be ghosts?

The Psychology Of Old Brainwash
My boyfriend pretty much hides me from his family and friends. I am not allowed to be friends with his sisters, in fact he wouldn't even give them a copy of my zine. He said they "wouldn't be interested in that. At All." Maybe they really wouldn't be interested, but isn't that up to them to decide?
I let it go, because, there's no point in arguing. So I'm venting here: (Is he ashamed of me? His family and friends are cool people, so I don't know wtf he's so worried about... I'm not that bad! If I am then why is he with me?)
End Vent. Begin Rationalization: This is just "old brainwash" so I'm not going to take it personally. Old brain patterns can take over when it comes to family. You become a kid in your mom's house again and play the part of the good child.
However, it is possible to be the adult that you really are around your family, and most likely, they will adapt to you, as they have always done your whole life. You should just express your opinions and your feelings in conversations with them, and have the maturity to understand and accept theirs. Like any other friendships in life, create a two way street that you both will learn how to navigate over time. Duh.

The Purpose Of Planet Venis
Planet Venis, LLC
PO BOX 3181
Portland, ME 04104
planetvenis.com
lilmcgill@planetvenis.com
All this exists, and more. But what's the point of this?
If you build it they will come and be your customers
vs.
If you build it they will tell you to fuck off and leave you alone forever
On one hand, I've been doing the witchy stuff (astrology, tarot etc.) since high school, so people have been coming to me for readings and advice for many years. It occurs to me that I could offer these services to the public and promote my SmartAstro product, and my zine! And my crafts!
I'm a product and a service!
On the other hand, it is likely I will offend you and put you off. I want to be as candid and lewd as I want in my writing. I want to experiment with ideas that might offend housewives and dumb people and Muslims. What doesn't offend them?
I want to offend Republicans, women, religious groups, and all white people, so you will question yourselves, and change! Why are you offended? Why are your feelings hurt?
Because when you first meet the truth, it hurts. So if I hurt your feelings, it means I taught you something. Even if you hate me for it. So, your welcome, and fuck you too!

Two Types Of Moms?
Pretty much there are only 2 types of Moms. Normal moms, and moms like me.
Most people around here are christian, white, working for a living and praying for the best. Yankee pride. Well, I'm an outsider x 3.
We moved to Maine from Texas, when I was in 5th grade. So I didn't have the same values that people born and raised here had. #not-normal-because-culture
Also, I wasn't raised with the church, so I have never read the bible and I don't know the stories or characters or songs. We were raised with astrology and crystals and tarot cards and rituals and talismans and even spells. #not-normal-because-religion
And if that's not weird enough...
No one in my family ever went to college, or had a real career (other than astro/tarot readings). My mother never even went to high school. She came from a family of criminal gypsies. So I didn't really understand what college was for until my junior year in high school. It was never an issue for me because it didn't apply to me. I wasn't going to go and I always sort of knew that.
#not-normal-because-class
Is this how all "the poor people" are because I'm guessing yes. It is actually a different culture, with different values passed down from one generation to the next, isn't it? You didn't realize how segregated you were from "the poor people" did you? No wonder you don't understand the big picture.
I feel black, speaking in this context. Because this is the context that black people (and other minorities) get lumped into, and I feel it. Because I lived there with you guys. And in Texas I was the minority, in Garland, where white kids were few and far between.
So, normal Moms, I'm talking to you right now. You were brought up a certain way and you are probably still mostly that way and teaching that way to your children. That's normal. You might even feel that Yankee pride swell a little when you hear my story, and thank God you didn't have to grow up like that.
Of course the down side to "normal" is that you will raise your children in a bubble that YOU DIDN'T EVEN CREATE and hold them back from knowledge and experiences under the guise of "keeping them safe" because the ugly truth is that you believe that your way (God's way?) is the only way. That if people don't experience the same things you experience, then there must be something wrong with those people, it must be their own fault. #normal-because-we're-us-and-they-are-them #america #christians #oblivious #whitepeople #classists #afraid-of-everything #ignorant #brainwashed #misplaced-pride #what-are-you-so-proud-of-yankee
