Listen, not gentlemen with more money than common sense…
\nI am not interested in your type.<\/p>\n
What type is that?<\/p>\n
The type that would pay web algorithm developers to send me smut
\ndisguised as Amazon’s “Based upon your shopping interests.”<\/p>\n
My Amazon shopping interests do not include cosmetics,
\nparticularly not oddly shaped lipsticks.<\/p>\n
I purchase all my cosmetics from Chanel.
\nTheir lipsticks are all shaped quite normally.<\/p>\n
I purchase these cosmetics with my own money,
\nearned through legal means<\/p>\n
Via my intellect, not the advantage of my gender.<\/p>\n
I know who you are, and I am not impressed by your bank accounts.
\nNever have been. Never will be. You’re not my type.<\/p>\n
My type is a gentleman. My type has a soul.<\/p>\n
So, please quit wasting your money.
\nPlease quit wasting my time.<\/p>\n
Please quit.<\/p>\n
Just quit disturbing my peace and tranquility with your …
\nI’m sorry… there’s not a word for that in any language.<\/p>\n
Just please go away.<\/p>\n
Kind regards,<\/p>\n
Joy<\/p>\n
Update: immediately following this post, my phone and computer were suddenly and inexplicably free of ads for sex toys and crass purchase opportunities. Thank you. I am honored that you actually read my poetry, though these years of stalking have been annoying.<\/p>\n
The world is changing, as I knew it would. We’ve been evolving as a culture of humans (collectively in all our separate cultures) toward a better understanding of truth vs propaganda. More and more, people view the mainstream with one eye closed, thinking of Hitler, of McCarthy, and of the 1960s. It won’t be long before 1962 and 1963 are straightened out. For heaven’s sake, my high school principal was the first to tell me she had always been suspicious of the events of August, 1962 — way back in 1978.<\/p>\n
So… fellas. I’m taking my time because watching the process of change is so very interesting. That day will come when hate will not accompany truth. It’s not here yet. You<\/em> have to evolve first. Leaving me alone is a step in the right direction.<\/p>\n I would next appreciate the return of my Facebook page, intact, exactly as it was when you hacked it nearly two years ago.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, have a wonderful holiday season! Happy Thanksgiving! Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukah! Happy everything related to the winter solstice. It’s a beautiful time of year, and I genuinely hope you enjoy it with those you love.<\/p>\n Kind regards,<\/p>\n Joy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Listen, not gentlemen with more money than common sense… I am not interested in your type.
