[0:00]I just got to show this shirt off. Guest
[0:02]made me this. Met them back in April.
[0:06]Maybe it was May. It might have been
[0:08]May. I met them several months ago. I
[0:11]was at a different campground at that
[0:13]time. I got moved like a month ago. So,
[0:16]they drove up here to give me this
[0:17]shirt. They like making these shirts and
[0:19]I was like, I don't really wear tie
[0:21]dyes. But, um, I told them I like dark
[0:23]colors. So, they did this a bunch of
[0:25]times and it came out so beautiful. I
[0:27]absolutely love this. They actually made
[0:30]me two. So, I'll show off the second
[0:31]one, too, cuz I like them both. This
[0:33]one's got more reds in it and stuff.
[0:35]It's like a little brighter, but this
[0:37]one is very dark. And
[0:40]actually going to wear these now. I feel
[0:42]kind of like a hippie. But I just had to
[0:44]show them off. I can share this with
[0:46]them and say thank you. Amazing. Just
[0:49]truly awesome of you. And my first new
[0:53]shirt in
[0:54]like a year and a half. I haven't bought
[0:56]clothes. I bought some clothes right
[0:58]before I moved into my RV and let you
[1:00]know I haven't since. So, really cool.
[1:05]I popped my bed, so my keys were laying
[1:07]on there. I had a queen-sized air
[1:09]mattress and that popped today. It's
[1:12]just a little tiny hole, but I'm not
[1:14]sure how to fix it. So, I got out my
[1:15]little twinssized one. Just put that up.
[1:18]It's actually not a terrible thing cuz
[1:20]it'll make it a little bit easier to use
[1:22]my laptop now that I can't use the
[1:23]desktop. It's a little bit messy in
[1:26]here, but I guess I'll give a bit of a
[1:27]tour of my life right now. So, I built
[1:30]this desk. That's the air mattress down
[1:33]there. I built this desk and you can see
[1:35]that I never refined it. Like I um I
[1:38]would like to, you know, sand it down
[1:40]and um paint it or dye it. What's the
[1:44]word for this? Stain it. I'd like to
[1:46]stain it, make it look nice if I kept it
[1:47]if I had, you know, if I was able to
[1:49]keep this RV, too. I mean, this is
[1:50]unknown. So, um, but there's my desktop
[1:54]up there. No GPU, so it doesn't work.
[1:56]Um, till I get another one.
[1:59]Um, it's okay though. Got a laptop can
[2:02]still work, you know.
[2:05]Um, let's see what else. Now that I got
[2:08]internet again, my little Alexa device
[2:10]over here. This thing right there. So
[2:12]important. I play my music, you know,
[2:14]when I'm in here. And I really miss that
[2:17]thing.
[2:19]I wear headphones a lot and I go through
[2:22]a bunch of them. I go through them, you
[2:24]know, every couple months I have to get
[2:25]another pair of them because they just
[2:27]break it down so fast because I listen
[2:29]to music so much. And well,
[2:34]turned out that this thing I just got
[2:35]another pair, but it turned out this
[2:37]piece here um it's a um an adapter I
[2:41]think. I don't know what you would call
[2:42]it, but it converts it from an aux to a
[2:45]USBC. I think that's the problem. one of
[2:48]them is not working. So, um, the USBC
[2:53]headphones are a lot more expensive. You
[2:55]know, I don't have a lot of money, so I
[2:56]go cheap and I've been buying these
[2:58]little $5 headphones for quite a while
[3:01]now.
[3:03]Um,
[3:06]so it's like 5:00. Um,
[3:12]I'm in kind of a strange mood. I
[3:16]feel sorrowful a little bit, I guess,
[3:18]might be the word. I'm not sure. I I'm
[3:21]not very good at describing emotions,
[3:23]but this one I'm feeling in my chest and
[3:26]I hadn't for quite a long time. So, just
[3:30]kind of sitting with that. Very capable
[3:32]of doing that. My emotions are never
[3:34]turned off my whole life. I'm fully
[3:36]integrated. Like I say, no
[3:37]compartmentalization. So, emotions are
[3:40]none. This one feels like remorse.
[3:45]Today I posted something in a Facebook
[3:47]group um a local one about what happened
[3:50]to me at Honeyman. Um to bring attention
[3:54]to it locally.
[3:56]Um
[4:00]because I feel that like at this point
[4:01]maybe this is the only way um anything
[4:04]happens.
[4:06]There has to be accountability
[4:09]because I was abused. This is the
[4:11]correct word for what happened to me
[4:13]over two months. I was abused
[4:16]and not
[4:19]indirectly, deliberately targeted
[4:23]by two people
[4:26]who should not be in their positions
[4:28]because they they've shown their
[4:30]character. They've shown what kind of
[4:32]people they are.
[4:34]And I know that it wasn't just me
[4:35]because
[4:37]as soon as they threw me out,
[4:41]man, it it felt like every single
[4:43]volunteer that I ran into over the next
[4:45]couple weeks had a story about them. So,
[4:48]it's not isolated. This is who they are,
[4:51]which means the institution knows this
[4:54]and is protecting them anyways. And I
[4:57]still can't believe that the volunteer
[5:00]coordinator
[5:02]swept this aside the way she did because
[5:05]she came from a university where she was
[5:07]a DEI coordinator, which meant
[5:10]protecting people just like me
[5:14]and she took whatever she learned from
[5:16]there and weaponized it against me in
[5:18]her new role. And I can't think of a
[5:22]more unethical,
[5:24]deeply problematic thing because it
[5:26]means she knows better.
[5:29]And I know that she knows better because
[5:30]during my call with her
[5:34]when I told her that Ryan had told me to
[5:36]eat class, she was shocked. I heard it
[5:38]in her voice. She complet she quickly
[5:40]contained it and went right back to the
[5:43]script. But there was a moment where she
[5:46]was a human being with me. And that's
[5:48]the problem that I had with Honeyman
[5:50]over two months is that they never
[5:52]interacted with me like a human being.
[5:57]Not Alison, not Lisa, the director, none
[6:01]of them. Because they're all calculating
[6:05]whatever it is they calculate instead of
[6:08]just approaching a human being like a
[6:10]human being.
[6:13]So, I just I feel a little bit
[6:14]remorseful
[6:16]because it
[6:18]I shouldn't be this way
[6:22]because there's no way for Alice and
[6:24]Lisa not to know that what happened to
[6:26]me was abuse. They have to know. The
[6:29]pattern is too clear.
[6:31]I documented it and I and I gave it to
[6:34]them
[6:37]without any pressure, without asking for
[6:39]anything
[6:41]and they still ignored it. And
[6:51]that's
[6:54]that's where I run out of words.
[6:59]But I can't can't focus on this all the
[7:02]time. I have a life that I'm building,
[7:05]you know, but I also can't ignore it
[7:08]because there are other people being
[7:10]harmed.
[7:17]And that's on you, Lisa.
[7:20]You need to act like a leader.
[7:30]There's a lot I need to do. I'm in a
[7:32]transitional stage in my life.
[7:37]I think my archive is is fairly
[7:39]complete. It's in a good state where I
[7:42]can just let it sit for a while.
[7:49]This is how I think about it now. But I
[7:53]I'm not saying that, you know, I
[7:57]or feel this way tomorrow. I don't know
[7:59]because I'm still metabolizing what
[8:01]happened to me because what happened to
[8:02]me was abuse
[8:06]and that abuse has been extended into
[8:10]other fields into
[8:13]into the silencing and
[8:18]the lack of accountability.
[8:24]That's not something you just get over.
[8:26]That's something you process. That's
[8:28]something you metabolize.
[8:32]But I will, you know,
[8:36]it's a beautiful day out here.
[8:40]We're in a pretty good um situation
[8:43]right now.
[8:46]I'm only here for a couple months and
[8:47]then I'll be heading somewhere else.
[8:51]Um maybe I'll talk about it then.
[8:55]Um
[8:57]I'm not ready to yet.
[8:59]Completely different situation in a
[9:01]couple months.
[9:03]For a couple months though I have
[9:06]interesting an interesting um situation.
[9:12]Maybe one day I can talk about it.
[9:14]That's
[9:15]the same problem that I had when I was
[9:17]at honeymoon. It's, you know, where you
[9:20]draw the line can can't really talk
[9:22]about your life as freely. That's it's
[9:25]hard for me because I don't
[9:26]compartmentalize.
[9:28]I want to be authentic. I want to share
[9:30]my life authentically.
[9:33]Um,
[9:39]but this is who I always been. This is
[9:41]how I've always been.
[9:43]Same honeyman. I understood the rules
[9:47]and I didn't break them.
[9:52][Music]
[9:54]Anyway, thank you for the shirts.
