@j wow, what a cool design!

@j I've never even seen Glengarry Glen Ross

Dreams man, no one wants to hear about them, but too bad.

Here's mine:
I'm in a bed and the Pope shows up and wants to give me a foot rub, which I politely decline. Then Alec Baldwin shows up and gets in the bed too and we laugh about how the Pope can't seem to pronounce Glengarry Glen Ross even though Alec Baldwin is trying to help and the Pope doesn't understand he was in the movie version.

@j that was someone else nearby. I do my best to remain quiet and I had a mask on.

Really impressive turnout today protesting against ice. Things turned nasty pretty quickly of course and shoutout to everyone who managed to remain calm despite the gas. Here's what it sounds like (content warning: explosions and people in distress)
Abolish ice always and forever.

Today the majority of my co-workers and I decided that tomorrow we will strike for the second half of the day. My employer is not exactly on board with this so far but we know this is an important moment to show strength and solidarity against oppression. It is a small thing but some of my co-workers have never participated in anything like this before and it is heartening to see that, if nothing else.

Not much for me to add, right? Protect those that need it. And don't let them steal all of your joy either.

@matthewconroy That sounds incredible! I think college is the time everyone gets a way-too-huge amp, I myself had a Carvin Pro Bass 500 with a 4x10 and 1x18 which was all taller than I was.

Look I'm a noise musician now lol

Found this original art my friend Frank drew for the first band I played in, 1992ish. I don't recall how we ended up as Drunk Cows, we were 14 and didn't drink, nor does the hillbillyness make much sense as we were all city kids from Cleveland. We played one show.
Jacob went on to cool stuff, I don't know what happened to Derrin, and this is how I ended up.
And the guy who drew this is a research physician.

@j Thanks, though it feels hard not to do at a place like that.

(my first time there so had to hit the major spots)

Pointed the big camera at some big rocks lol.

@j lol I almost like it?

My dream last night was going to see a GG Allin concert. He mostly didn't want to perform and at one point he came into the crowd and lit my pants on fire with a cigarette.
