I know it's not the same but maybe you could get that on video during this downtime. This came out when I was younge ande greene but it had the feel of a performance. It made an impression on all of us:

Never really could get into Pantera. Phil wears an Eyehategod shirt in a few clips in that video. Had a roommate who was a huge fan of them. Me, not so much, but they did influence my demeanor somewhat when I did live shows.

My head doesn't even come close to fitting between my knees.

It takes time. Pay attention to what the instructors say about not rushing yourself. It’s a discipline as much as it is a practice.

They've added a disclaimer. But now there's like three of these.

I did the yoga again. I found a mat I got at a yard sale ten years ago which seemed to help. Still glad no one can see me. My cat was very worried and later attacked the mat.

A squirrel jumped right in the front window. He was after the empty peanut butter jar I set out with the recycling. He wanted that peanut butter so bad, but he saw my cats and dog (who were freaking out) and ran off. I didn't want to leave the jar out but I set some stuff out for him a little further away.

But, since I currently can afford not a lot, Im not worried.
Here in IL (at least in a few counties) we're going into stage 3 lockdown (Wed) I noticed 1 area restaurant already closed for inside dining.

A few restaurants have outdoor tents (some are full tents top-to-bottom, isn't that basically the same as indoors?/)/

I have a good supply just from living in an earthquake/volcano zone, plus everything my pets would need.

I'd like to get a crate of MREs, though. I just opened an actual military veggie burger. It's not great, but it'll keep you alive.
The pastry was really good.

Plus it comes with the tiniest little bottle of Tabasco sauce, like action figure scale.

Hate to double post, but it’s related to the last one. I was approached by a group which does grindcore/crust punk songs themed after movies (which is why I watched Sharknado, because that’s one of the ones they had in mind). One of the movies they mentioned was called Baby’s Day Out, so I watched that. Which included this scene

I doubt Seth cares much personally. His wife is just another Hollywood busybody. I wish people would let sex workers decide for themselves. I bet one of her ex’s cheated on her with a prostitute. What civ woman gives a shit about sex workers? What happened to her that she gives a shit?


Marriage is literally a contract. In fact, I think marriage should be outlawed...lol. I was more exploited in marriage than as a sex worker.

Actually I think marriage and family is a beautiful thing, but let’s not whitewash the institution of marriage. Woman originally only got married as a way to survive and why do women do sex work...to survive.

I personally find having kids and being married as disempowering, but it’s none of my business how another woman chooses to live her life.

A real feminist supports other women even if their path in life isn’t one she would choose for herself.

Sorry about the feminist rant. I couldn’t help myself.

Really dying to know what the thought process of some people is. Looking through my feed on a social media app, I happened across a post by a woman whose son was laid up in the hospital with a life threatening condition. Apparently, hers was something along the lines of, “My (legal) adult aged son is in critical condition, so what better time than now to show everyone I’m still hip and ‘in touch’ by posting a glam photo of me with several Snapchat filters applied and my son in his hospital bed in the background”. If someone did that shit to me, I’d either impale their head on a spike once I recovered or else raise from the head to haunt them and make their life a living hell perpetually.

Honestly I haven’t even posted on my Instagram because it feels kinda wrong to self promote when people are literally dying or becoming homeless. I will at the beginning of next year. As an elder millennial, I’ve never liked social media. I have Facebook for my real friends only. My IG is just for my hobbies. I still don’t like taking selfies. If you do I’m NOT hating, but like when people first started doing it I was like “why are you taking taking pictures of yourself and posting them on the internet?” I’m also on the autistic spectrum, so most normal human behavior is perplexing to me.

There's nothing wrong with self promotion, even during a crisis such as this one. If you have a monetized Instagram account, OnlyFans, what have you, people still need to make a living. Even if you just like taking photos you think are interesting and want to bring attention to them, there's nothing wrong with that, even. I did my first photo shoot and also wrote, recorded, and released an album in the midst of the pandemic (and of the latter, I promoted the hell out of it... I didn't sign to a label for that one; it was a self release, and the entire cost of It came out of my pocket.. you'd better believe I wanted to recoup that cost). But there's a degree of tact and discretion to be used. What she did... to me, it's not exactly the same, but cut from the same cloth as people taking funeral selfies, photos of themselves doing yoga poses at Auschwitz, etc.


I post on my IG, and I don't go out of my way to grow the count, but I do like having followers, although they follow me for different reasons. My whole IG is pretty much dedicated to the work I do in the shop and driving a tow truck, music (which includes some self promotion, as I haven't made a separate IG for that), a touch of foodie culture, and whatever else. There's only a couple photos of me, and the most 'racy' and 'provocative' one would be my 'slasher film' photo from when we did the first aid/CPR class. I didn't wear a t-shirt under my overshirt that day because I was originally supposed to be in the next day's class. So, I'm in jeans and a sports bra, because we took the overshirts off to improvise slings out of them. I had also taken the face off of a resuscitation doll, put it over my face, and held a large Bowie knife in one hand while holding an infant resuscitation doll upside down by the leg with my other hand. Most photos of me on IG are posted by others... the Irish woman and the girl I did the photo shoot with both tagged me in theirs, and I know I'm in untagged photos and videos (because I never gave them my IG) from the pole studio, equestrian center, and tow company I work for on the side.

I remember when I was in college for a year and a girl had over 23 selfie photos on her bedroom wall. I don't understand needing that much validation or guys on dating sites thinking I was hiding something when I said I don't have social media.
