Highlight of thanksgiving zoom call was my dad and his siblings reminiscing about when they used to go swimming at the beach in new jersey and shipwrecks would cover the beach in sticky oily tar and they would still go swimming and there were barrels of kerosene outside the bathhouse that they would rub all over their bodies to get the tar off. And my aunts partner was like oh yeah when i would go to the beach at cape may during wwii and there were german u boats visible from shore and there was an oil spill but they made us use NAIL POLISH REMOVER to get the tar off
there is nothing you can say that will make me stop occasionally putting a q tip in my ear to remove ear wax. i know the ear is self cleaning. i know it doesnt need to be done at all, and in rare cases where earwax buildup actually does need to be removed this is absolutely not the way. i know theres a risk of serious injury to the inner ear. i know there is no material benefit and it can only do harm. but heres the deal: i dont care. im fully aware and im going to do it anyway. im fucking crazy.. but im free
the theremin is a delicate instrument, notoriously difficult to master; performers must shape their hands in the empty space between two metal antennas, seeking blindly for the pitch they want. tell me, will- am i to be the theremin? never touched, but played all the same?
