Dream-Catcher
I'm glad that I caught it all...
A dream-catcher I must weave,
To capture visions in my sleep.
A world of wonder I receive,
As into the dreamland I leap.
Last night, I wandered through a field,
Of flowers tall and bright.
Their beauty made my heart unsealed,
And filled me with delight.
I saw a rainbow in the sky,
With colors bold and true.
And birds that flew so high,
Beneath a sky of blue.
But then a storm began to brew,
And lightning lit the sky.
The flowers wilted, their petals few,
And all around me was awry.
But then I woke up from my dream,
And found myself in bed.
The dream-catcher caught every scene,
That played inside my head.
And though the storm did make me fear,
I'm glad I caught it all.
For even storms can bring good cheer,
And make our dreams stand tall.

What happened in the factories that the Nazis used to breed babies?
The Lebensborn program, initiated by the Nazis in 1935, was a secretive scheme to create a "pure Aryan race" through controlled breeding and child rearing. π±π§¬ Apparently, Heinrich Himmler was obsessed with this program. He'd personally approve SS marriages and expect them to pop out kids. Creepy micromanagement much? ππΌ The program established maternity homes across Nazi-occupied Europe, including Germany, Norway, Austria, and other countries. These facilities were often set up in requisitioned properties. π₯π° Women had to pass stringent "racial purity" tests to participate, with only 40% of applicants accepted. Preferred traits included blonde hair, blue eyes, and specific height requirements. π€―π SS officers were encouraged to father children with these women, even outside of marriage. The program offered medical care, financial support, and secrecy to participating mothers. π°π€ Upon birth, many Lebensborn children were taken by the SS and placed in Nazi-controlled nurseries. Biological mothers often had to renounce all rights to their children. ππΆ The program conducted disturbing "baptism" ceremonies for newborns, involving SS daggers and pledges of loyalty to Nazi ideology, aiming to indoctrinate children from birth. π₯Άβ It gets worse. They kidnapped around 200,000 kids from occupied countries. Snatched 'em right from their parents if they looked "Aryan" enough. Can you imagine? π’π These kidnapped children underwent forced "Germanization," involving psychological manipulation and sometimes physical abuse to make them forget their true origins. ππ΅ After the war, many Lebensborn children faced stigma and discrimination. In Norway, some were even institutionalized and subjected to abuse. The full extent of the program's impact remains unclear to this day. π‘β

A Glaring Omission
I made peace with being cast out by others pretty early in life. As lonely as it may sound, I donβt recall many times during childhood when those actions affected me any longer than a moment or two. Being deemed the weird/gay/weird gay freak by everyone from neighborhood kids to blood relatives allowed me the privilege of sneaking away whenever I pleased to dive deeper into hobbies that molded the proud pop culture geek and writer I am today.
