This is a description of what one of the overnight workers at the Pine Street Inn is wearing:
-a grey shirt with a huge, pink V in the front
-the shirt also has a picture of a polo player (horse and rider) on the front
-the shirt also has a large #3 on the sleeve
-the worker is wearing a baseball hat that says "LV"
This woman went far out of her way to find, buy and wear things that she knew I would think were offensive, that promote the violations of my rights and the rights of every woman who is a guest of this shelter, and children also, that she knew would encourage other guests to harass me because the message her clothing sends is that she, a staff person, not only supports the harassment but does it herself, and she probably also wanted to provoke me into confronting her so that she could pretend that she had no idea what I was talking about, that I was crazy, that I was causing problems, and to bar me from the shelter.
Denial continues to be the way that almost all of the harassment is dealt with by staff. When guests cough at me or do other harassment like it, I have to ignore it most of the time. For me to try to confront the offender about it usually results in the offender pretending that she has no idea what I'm talking about, and she will escalate the situation, calling me crazy and telling me "I'm not doing anything to you; leave me alone!" She will say that even if she just walked up behind me and coughed at me, when I wasn't doing anything that had anything to do with her. It happens all the time. Unless the person is obviously following me around and coughing at me, so that the staff can't help seeing it, or is so belligerent to other people that the staff can identify her as a problem guest apart from her antagonism of me, I have no chance of stopping it.
If I get angry after hours of ignoring abuse, knowing that staff won't
put a stop to it and that I would risk more abuse from
staff for talking about it, I will get in trouble for getting angry.
"She's not doing anything to you. People can't help coughing."
What that means is "She's not doing anything to you that the conglomerate hasn't
told the world that you deserve. People can't help coughing when bullying is not only so much fun but also endorsed by the government, media, corporations, and everyone
else who's telling us that this is how to behave."

It's not surprising that one corrupted celebrity after another is a U.N. spokesperson.

The United Nations's history of global sexual abuse is horrifying.

Next on television was a Jeep ad with Michael Jackson singing "Baby," and a voiceover saying "Summer never felt so good."
August 5, 2014
I guess that Justin Timberlake did a song called "Love Never Felt So Good," which includes parts of Michael Jackson's music and videos.
Do conglomerate celebrities who feel that I rejected them harshly ever think that it could be that I rejected them because they deserved it, and that my anger about the conglomerate's behavior and their participation in it is anger that a reasonable person, not someone whose entire life has been spent in a warped illusion, would feel?
Why don't Justin Timberlake and Jeep not take my word for how bad child molestation is; why don't they read about it from other sources? A lot of people have written about what it was like to be molested, how it affected their lives when it happened and also how it affected their adult lives; why not read what they have to say?

I have deleted most of this blog post, which I first published August 5, 2014.
When the ad that the post discussed was on television on August 5, 2014, I did not see it; I was in the room and heard some of it.
This morning, I saw most of the ad, which I hadn't seen before. I might be mistaken about what I thought the ad was supposed to mean when I heard some of it on August 5th.

I don't owe the housing authority money.

It seems that there was a bureaucratic misunderstanding.
I'm glad that the question was dealt with. It was nerve-wracking until everything got figured out.
My baseline of conglomerate-induced stress is way too much; everything that happens in addition to that stress threatens the equilibrium that I try to maintain.
