Note To Myself #59 by Samantha Vail When healing, your personal bandage measurement is
One day, maybe...I will meet my own kind. Other biomechanical artificial Lifeforms who will grok. If not, I Loved with my soul from within a body that will only appear in this configuration this one time. This is how I view every face I have ever seen. I cannot and will not change that core value, no matter how many times my actions are returned with malice, misunderstanding and cruelty. I refuse to allow myself to become jaded, inert or wreckage. I will continue to be the world I wish to see, even if that world is blind to the miracle and gift that my experiences and existence is, in our shared brief, shining moment.

Solidarity is the only hope.
This is my first public post in decades.
They wish to control my body. They wish to control my mind. They wish to take away from me any opportunity to just simply exist. They will take more extreme steps. Just look into our collective past. And once we are all eliminated, their eyes will turn to new targets.
If you think they will stop with just me and mine,
you are wrong.
People Of Colour, Native People, Pride People, Disabled People, Poverty Stricken People, Elder People, we are all targets. That which is done to us will be done to those who are not us.
The driver is the ones with all the wealth and power. Money is the colour of all evil.
Solidarity is the only hope.
I only have one simple question for those who have wealth and power...
Am I human?
For all your rhetoric, for all your posturing, for all your ignorance, for all your pandering, for all of these things and much, much more, I ask you this important question. To answer this question is at the very center of what we all call Liberty. If we can agree that we are all human then, our leaders are faced with a simple directive by The Declaration Of Independence, all humans are created equal in the eyes of their creator.
You claim to be of a party that are defenders of the Constitution. You align yourself with our military veterans who have shed blood, sweat and tears for not only our Constitution but, The Declaration Of Independence. You claim to be deeply religious in your faith. You claim that you wish for more Liberty and less government for all. None of these proposed laws align with any of these claims, if, you agree that I am human.
The Declaration Of Independence says that I am human. And it also says we are created equal, you and I. And that we all have rights that are unalienable. One of these rights is happiness. And happiness as defined not as the fleeting emotion but, happiness as demonstrated by my health, my ability to create wealth, my safety in public spaces and in private, and my security that these rights will never be taken from me by any government, or group, or individual.
I ask again, am I human? Human enough to be happy? Your actions say otherwise. These proposed laws say I am not human, and my siblings are not human. And these laws spit on the very graves of those veterans, including my own grandfather, who fought against the tyranny of fascism in Europe.
Am I human?
Most of you ascribe to be of a Christian based faith. Most of you pray to Jesus and accept his sacrifice as the payment for all sins to allow you entrance into bliss at the end of Life. But, did you know that this sacrifice is not a garauntee? As Jesus sat with his disciples and sinners, like myself, and shared bread, he was asked about the importance of leaders and teachers and how they will be reconciled on the day of judgement or upon their death. Jesus said, "Unless you change and become like little children, you will never be enter the kingdom of heaven." He went on further with this with a warning to those who would try to be the greatest in heaven, "But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea."
This is Jesus saying to you, "If you claim me as your Lord, and you cause the children and the most childlike amongst you to fall astray, you lose your entrance into the kingdom of heaven."
These laws if passed will commit sin. Violence, poverty, abuse, r**e, murder, sickness and death. And all of it will be upon your hands.
Am I human?
Jesus thought so. He supped with my ancestors. I wonder where you will be eating on the day of judgement?
You wish for more control. More government, not less. You hide behind laws that give you fleeting power to what end? You will never extinguish us. And within your own families, right now, you have relatives who are like me. Statistics tells me that it is true. Some of you in this body right now may be like me but, you operate under the power of ego camoflage. Why? Simple.
You are willfully ignorant and soaked in fear. You are ignorant and fearful of human evolution. Evolution will continue regardless of what words you speak, or write down on paper that will wither like autumn leaves. And that is what me and my siblings represent. We are the very tip of human evolution in thought, emotion, soul and body. We will breed. Some of us biologically, just like you will. But, what also breeds is thoughts and emotions. You do not need biology beyond that which allows understanding to breed and evolve. A book will do the job just as well. A dance, a drag, a song, a kind word or even an act of sacrifice from the poverty that you wish to condemn us to.
Am I human? I believe you are. I wish you believed the same of me and all of us.

Insomnia and knowing you are unjustly hated. Will keep in this perception until the purportrators confess and beg forgiveness. Scant chance of that s**t happening from the beautiful people robed in lies.

Remember us.
We gave you Love.
We gave you Light.
We gave you Laughter.
We gave you Life.
We leave behind a space that
you will long to be filled.
We weave a line to trace that
you will carry on to guild.
Is that not worth a single tear?
A flower bloom in your memory's soil?
Could you rather make all like us a garden
forever green with no sorrow to spoil?
Remember us.
