Hey thanks!

The blank apparently had an upload problem. But it's fixed now.

I wonder if there is a gain problem on the distorts one. I will check.

Thanks for your patience.

johnnyprofane1,

Roll with me here. It'll just take too long to connect all the dots. I'll give you a couple quick selfies. You'll get the picture.

Let's just say I decided to burn ALL my karma bridges... at precisely 6:32pm PDT 10/31/1978.

johnnyprofane1,

Just cuz I'm walking by.

Ok. Let's burn that first Bad Karma bridge. If I'm gonna eat meat...

"I'll have that Filet Mignon au Poivre. For bonus Bad Karma points, let's start with Goose liver pâté on crostini. A little extra fig syrup on the side.

johnnyprofane1,

French onion soup... cuz anything made from beef consommé drives me wild. You got a really peppery dark red zinfandel...? Yeah. That oughta go."

Whoops. That was the second Bad Karma bridge I burnt. No alcohol or drugs since I got initiated. Patanjali disapproved...

johnnyprofane1,

Maybe it was a few too many years meditating, fasting, vegan, ... um, celibate. I dunno...

So click, Selfie #1.

I'm working as a union typesetter in Oakland. Bay Area Typographers Union.

johnnyprofane1,

With the occasional double overtime, making more money than any 25-year-old knows what to do with.

So, I duke the waiter 20 bucks for an instant seat. Yuppie Berkeiey-chic French bistro. Ferns. Organic wool sweaters. Egyptian wool napkins...
No reservation. No plan.

johnnyprofane1,

I wake up on a closely cropped grass lawn northwest of UC Berkeley. Bottle of Bacardi 151 spilled next to me. Probably within smelling distance of Philip K Dick's old digs.

Couple more bad karma bridges, probably. But hell, I'm still drunk. I lose count.

It's about 11:15 pm.

johnnyprofane1,

Click, Selfie #2.

So. I'm back out on the street. Feeling loose. Feeling fine.

But I still need more free.

Walking down Telegraph, I hit an all-night liquor store. Say, I always heard about 151 rum. Gotta wonder...

🚨Whoa. Let's just cross that off the old bucket list. 🚨

johnnyprofane1,

That could really kill your bliss...

And here I was, bumping uglies with the loudest, crassest, smelliest mess of humans I could find. And they didn't call it "Bezerkeley" for nothin....

Click, Selfie #4.

What are these freaks on? Throwing toast at the screen?

johnnyprofane1,

But it's Halloween!

Sign reads, "Halloween Midnight Double Feature! Rocky Horror / Mad Max!" And under their fabulous red neon marquee is the longest line of freaks, geeks, punks, and junkies I've ever seen. And I was homeless on the Bowery briefly before grad school.

johnnyprofane1,

What to do now? I know! A really violent, disturbing, forbidden movie!

Click, Selfie #3.

So, I walk to the UC Berkeley Theatre. It's a repertory house. Plays a different double bill of old classics every night.

johnnyprofane1,

Most are plastered in dragon-lady makeup, capes, and feather boas.

Now this was the burnt karma bridge the old guru lost his shit over. See, we were supposed to only live in groups with other meditators. Cuz non-meditators were so... so... stressed. Impure. Bad vibes.

johnnyprofane1,

Mad Max. I'm so overwhelmed by the madness of the Rocky Horror crowd that I sleep right through Mad Max.

But I keep having this recurring nightmare of boomerangs and flying bloody fingers...

Was I dead? Was this hell?

Or heaven.

johnnyprofane1,

So that was the night I stopped being a meditation teacher.
The night I made the first crack in my autistic mask.
The night... I took the first step... of a 38-year journey...
To grow up and become fully dot me.

👉 Oh, yeah. The second feature...

johnnyprofane1,

Be it..."

We're all singing.

I'm crying...

Yeah. I was home. Freaks, geeks, punks & junkies. Turns out the jocks back in jr. high were right.

I was weird. And these were my peeps. And I was fucking tired of dreaming it...

johnnyprofane1,

Spraying water into the air? Screaming, "Where's your neck?" at every appropriate moment.

And g-d alone knows what was going on in that writhing mess of body parts in the back 2 rows. Cuz I sure never looked...

Click, Selfie #5.

"Don't dream it... Be it...
Don't dream it...

johnnyprofane1,

Happy Neurodivergent Halloween! Go do dot you.

johnnyprofane1, to Autism

Dear marketers seeking LinkedIn connections...

And I don't mean the usual "I can get you 3000 followers over nite" suspects...

I mean the "sincere" ones...

I may not be your best prospect.

I have a personal thing about...

  1. New connections whose first DM asks for a favor, donation, participation in research, editing or writing help, promoting your pet project...

Or the earnest developer who requests that I test drive a product you're SURE will help disabled folks. For money.

Most especially, folks targeting , and other 's.

  1. I don't like folks making money off my autism. And I don't enjoy transactional social relationships... especially those masquerading as some noble purpose.

I usually just block. But I'm getting sick of it.

This morning's DM finally brought this response from me.

"Honestly I don't try freemium apps that don't outline features for trial, paid, and free versions.

"I understand the value to you of any user's trial... marketing, user data, beta testing.

"I need to understand the value to me.

"That said, it sounds like a valuable app. Wish you luck."

And removed our connection.

Have some sensitivity when marketing to disabled folks, shall we?

Btw, no answer from neurodiverse huckster. Probably busy posting hundreds of DMs to y'all.

.

Dude went totally narcissistic on me. I'm rude & dismissive. Like I owe him trying his product...?⁉️

No clue how to market to folks.

The US is Central.

I think I knew it as a teenager. I got busted for Viet Nam protests. In my 20s and 30s I got distracted.

Reagan got my attention.


Clinton ended my life as a Democrat. By the second Clinton, I was pretty much sure we'd have to destroy the system.

Bernie distracted me.

Now. That really was MY bad.


We're fascist central for the world. We overthrow governments & install fascism. We assassinate leaders & replace them with fascists. We start wars & leave countries to be run by fascists.

And. Of course we give or sell arms to fascists.

Except the fascists we compete with.
