Ah, that's because I keep my dumb internet jokes persona anonymous! I have other socials where I am openly me.

"To see a bong in a kerosene lamp / And a pipe in walrus of stone...."

None that I can find.

Also, of the people I know, she's the likeliest to absolutely freak out if she got high.

I’m quarantining in the apartment of my mother-in-law, who is out of town, and taking pictures of the stuff in it.

A photograph of some knick-knacks and tchotchkes, including a porcelain figurine of a sweeping woman, a stone walrus, and some oil lamps. I was messing around with my camera because I’m bored, so for this shot I closed the blinds and got out a tripod. For this shot I did a two-second exposure at ISO 100. My aperture was pretty wide; I tried some with a narrower aperture and even longer shutter, but the deeper field of focus made the composition too cluttered. I’m pretty happy with the result. Since the light was all ambient, it’s very even, and there’s hard any noise. The textures came out pleasant too, in a way that fits the overall tackiness of the image. Fun times!

Oh man, I'm laid low by something too. Feels just like Covid, but I'm testing negative five days in so -\_(¨,)_/-

Thinking of using this for my profile pic for spooky season, but I'm worried it's too disturbing.

A weird knockoff troll doll that's also a clown. Scary!

It's fun watching zoomers discovery Labi Siffre song by song.

The Vince McMahon reactions meme with the titles of four Labi Siffre songs: "I Got The," "My Song," "Cannock Chase," and "Bless the Telephone."

No, I just know that he's the bassist on this tour, which blows my mind, since I first hear Destroyer because of him.

Fun fact: the bassist burned a copy of Streethawk in 2003 and gave it to FOT David (Loambagel/Emergency Broadcast Hour), who loaned it to me.

Everything is about me, or at least in this case it is!

Also, I'm getting a lot of "Wow, it's mixed really well!" from friends. I think my hopes were too high that this would be my breakout hit.

Doing my part. For awareness.

I had the thought “Jatham Statham,” searched to see if anyone else had also thought that, and found this.

Inside of you, there are two wolves.

Two wolves staring at each other. One is labeled “Jason STASON,” one is labeled “Jatham Statham.”

I saw it in VistaVision and it looked great, but you should know beforehand that there is a lot of flickering, especially in bright scenes. You get used to it, though
