Just watched @officialgogos doc and I fell in love with them all over again. @janewiedlin was my first #girlcrush ๐Ÿ’— This lil wanna be punker from #HuntingtonBeach saw em live a dozen times and fantasized about being in a badass all girl band. HOW ARE THEY NOT IN THE @rockhall ??
Interesting nugget in the doc about the white nationalist underbelly permeating punk at the time. In 79 my boyfriend took me to The Golden Bear in HB & the audience was full of โ€œSurf Nazisโ€. Interestingly read an article about that culture this morning: nytimes.com/2019/09/28/opiโ€ฆ
This distressed me greatly because I was an avid reader, especially of history. I had tested for the MGM program at Edison HS (Mentally Gifted Minors) & was gutted by the rise of the fascism adulation I witnessed from the skinheads I went to school w in the late 70s/early 80s.
A few months ago I heard Iโ€™ll be inducted into EHSโ€™s Hall of Fame for which I am deeply honored. But I know that some of those classmates are now hard-core racists & Trumpsters. It sickens me to remember some of them in Doc Martins & swastikas. This is how we got here, America.

I believe in miracles.
Tonight I am lucky to be alive.
At 2:15 I was in my Jeep sitting at a red light when I heard a loud, screeching sound & glanced to my left. A car had hit a bump, lost control, was airbound & heading directly towards me. I braced for impact. (Contโ€™d)
In what seemed like slow motion, he floated just behind my body, hit the left rear side of my car and sent me spinning into an electrical pole on the right, rear side of my car. My airbags did not deploy (they had been recalled and I have tried to have them replaced for months).
(The dealership told me the parts are on back order. ๐Ÿ˜‘)
Meanwhile my head, neck, upper back, left elbow & knees r bruised/injured but miraculously, I donโ€™t have a scratch or broken bone. And the driver of the other car, which was totaled, emerged unscathed. We were both in shock

While doing research for my book, Between a Jock And A Hard Place, came across an old modeling shoot for @muscle_fitness May 1992. The headline is crazy & explains much about why dudes feel โ€œmisunderstoodโ€:
โ€œThe long ignored male perspectiveโ€œ!!!
Lol!!!! ImageImage
Wowza, hereโ€™s the article: Image

In line at @Target and this dude refuses to wear a mask. Was also yelling at me in my face for asking him to. (BTW, Iโ€™m 6โ€™ in line behind a lady w 2 kids) Security came out and said there is no โ€œlawโ€ that he has to wear a mask in line. Whatโ€™s up, @Target ?? Image
Of course he called me โ€œan extremist bitchโ€. Because of course.
Trying to talk to the head of security, (Edgar) but heโ€™s โ€œbusyโ€ and wonโ€™t come out to talk to me.
