i hate how my brain works though because every time i finish a chapter and take a break my brain immediately becomes terrified that i won’t be able to write again. like if i take a break i lose the streak and i’m done for, even though i have consistently taken one to two day breaks each week and come back writing again each time. take the piss
#Psy's no punctuation posts#i am ALLOWED a fuckin BREAK!!!#i can't write today i'm too tired i only got 4 hours of sleep#so i am going to let myself relax. chill. maybe continue rewatching Inside Job or watch a movie or something#i deserve that once i get off of work#and then MAYBE tomorrow if i feel like writing i can start but if not i can just focus on psoting the next chapter#and call that good#which i havent decided who to post yet#was gonna do Ed but havent gotten my friend's feedback so i'll hang back#maybe do a lighter chapter since Elmore's was 15k... maybe Dr. Andonuts or Paul?#wanted to do a fucked up one but I don't want to post Ollie and Pusher's since that's too much drama of the same fmaily all at once#and Ed's is the only other super fucked up one i wrote so far#i also rly wanna post Jonel's but we also JUST had a Bob and Donna chapter#and also... it's like one of the last chapters chronologically so i don't want to get ppl confused#chapter 2 is Bob and Donna making up and then nJonel's is like a year later and they have a fucking child they dont want KRGHF#or didnt want... they do love him after the fact#not that thats important but it shows up in the chapter at leas-

You’re meaning to tell me that Corey Taylor… COREY. TAYLOR. Is literally only going to be like twenty five minutes away from me and I MISSED OUT ON THE TICKETS.
I get the meet and greet was supposed to happen five days ago and they’re those tickets still being viable (tour and recording conflicts) but goddamn. Eventbrite kinda dropped the ball on letting me know about events.
#shut it void#I dunno if I’ll be able to get off for the other ones either#because Bob Elmore (Texas Chainsaw 2) is gonna be at the same place in September#and Henry Winkler (Fonzie) will be there in October (also sold out)#Eventbrite really needs to start suggesting things if they want people to use their app#because I had no idea either event was made because I didn’t follow the place the meet and greet’s gonna be#but like wouldn’t it make sense to do some occasional push notifications for local events??#not an every day thing or anything of the sort hell even a weekly email would have been fine

New Town Tavern, 600 Jackson Ave, Las Vegas, in 1967. Photo by Clinton Wright. One of the oldest clubs in Las Vegas, destroyed by fire 10/15/2023.
Town Tavern was opened Jul. ‘55 by owners Marie and Earl Turmon, locals who lived at nearby 708 Madison. In its heyday of the late 50s the 24-hour bar, casino, and coffee shop was central to Westside’s nightlife scene. After the closure of the Moulin Rouge in Fall ’55, Town Tavern became the main Westside destination for black performers who were headlining the segregated Strip hotels.
Nat King Cole, Sammy Davis Jr, Cab Calloway, Arthur Lee Simpkins, Bob Bailey, Dorothy Dandridge, and the Ink Spots all performed in a single night during an NAACP cocktail party in Dec. '55. Review-Journal columnist Forrest Duke wrote of another night when, “Pearl Bailey and her Flamingo gang sashayed over to Earl Turmon’s Town Tavern Wednesday night, and the joint was, to put it rather mildly, jumping.” Another columnist’s blurb describes an employee’s going-away party with music by jazz musicians Christine Chatman (singer, piano), Al Morgan (bass), Chuck Hampton (drums), and Bob Bailey as emcee, “there with his lovely wife Anna who dances in the Pearl Bailey’s Flamingo show.”
The club became “New” Town Tavern in late ’59 and operated more or less continually until 2013. Westside's nightlife scene deteriorated in the 60s – the unplanned byproduct of integration was the decline in black gaming establishments, but Town Tavern remained. Florence Elmore owned the club in '70-71. Danny Curtis & Elijah Green bought the club in '71; Green was still the owner in the 80s, renovating and enlarging the club after a fire in '81. In the 90s it became “Ultra New” Town Tavern and continued operated under this name until closing.
Town Tavern originally had a top hat-shaped sign. Its second sign with "Town Tavern" in a ribbon and "Casino" in a circle, was installed in the early 60s and remained until 2023. In 2016 the words "Town Tavern" were replaced with "Tokyo" for a casino which ultimately never opened. The sign was removed from the building on 8/16/2023.

It was Shady Rest Barbecue, licensed for slot machines on 9/17/42, and Club Alabam, aka Smokey Joe's Club Alabama the following year. Fuller's Index of Nevada Gaming Establishments says the Club Alabam was licensed for 21 from 5/1/43 to 7/2/43. City Commission Meeting Minutes of 7/2/43 (p97) states that the liquor and gaming license of Joe LaDue at Club Alabam was denied. The club burned down 9/29/43. Liquor License.

related to the previous post, not sexual or suggestive, but I was honestly impressed when I saw that audibly went "damn", impressed chop top, or even the actor himself bill moseley could do that
Like damn dudes strong
I don't write on confessions usually, but, I have to break the news to everyone...
Bill Moseley had a stunt double.
I believe that his stunt double was Daniel W. Barringer.
(I can find one site that says that he was specifically, but in the credits, the stunt casting just has the generic "stunts" title for all the characters. Like Bob Elmore played stunts for Bubba, and so did Tom Morga, and they're both listed there).
In any case, Bill Moseley didn't do all the climbing scenes himself 😅
So it's definitely something that Chop Top did and he is definitely strong AF in the canon of this movie, but it's not something Bill did, specifically.
#✏️#confession#Chop Top Sawyer#Choptop#Bill Moseley#The Texas Chainsaw Massacre#tcm#Texas Chainsaw Massacre#The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2#tcm 2#slashers#I do really really like Chop Top climbing and pulling himself up everywhere. He's got some upper body strength for sure as a character 💪#So if anyone confesses anything else about this - I have the other parts of him pulling himself up the mountain ⛰️#I just wanted to clarify the stunt double stuff because I think it's a fun fact and not everyone realizes they didn't do their own stunts

as a fellow alopecia haver would you mind if i asked a few questions about how you cope with it? like, do you wear hats or wigs or do clever hairstyles to hide it or do you just let it show? ive tried pills and scalp shots and nothing is reversing mine. im only 26 and i feel like this is the worst thing to ever happen to me and i dont know what to do about it. nobody even thinks balding women exist. nobody considers how it is to actually be one. im so scared no one will ever like me or find me cute again. i used to think i was so cute. this sucks so bad.
For me the back of my head around the nape and up to nearly the top of my scalp has never grown hair, not even when I was born. My father also has alopecia areata and he has a few golfball-to-coin sized patches he loses and regrows at a random basis. So I've had my entire life to contend with hair loss and family that was familiar with it, so I sympathize so incredibly hard to women who develop it later in life. It is probably mortifying.
So yeah, shots and pills and balms and oils and etc have never worked for me. I also lose hair at random basis around the rest of my scalp, mainly around the margins of my crown (losing my bangs) and the sides of the back where I already do not grow hair. I also lose half my left eyebrow on a regular basis. If you go far back enough in my #me tag I've posted what it looks like. I also preface some of my advice might not be helpful if you have afro-textured hair, but I will recommend someone who will be extremely helpful in that respect.
Also I hope you don't mind me doing a shotgun blast of advice but maybe my experience will help someone
Things that worked for me:
I've always been flipping my part as my hair cycles in a growth/loss state for my bangs. Low pony tails tend to hold better than high ones in what is essentially a clever combover. Uhhh and always keep a hair tie around in case there is wind lol I always get self conscious when there's a breeze.
This is kind of vague and probably shitty advice but I've noticed over the years I lose hair when I am stressed, so I've had to make the call (in addition to other factors) to quit jobs that really strain me and I've noticed improvement in hair growth. So depending on your circumstances I say make some effort to reduce your other stress factors while you go through figuring it out. This shit is literally traumatizing.
This thing here is basically a pepper shaker for keratin bits that can color-fill in patches of missing (or really tiny short baby) hair. I can only speak as a brunette but it works pretty damn good as some camouflage for your skin poking out where you can't cover it. Do note it kind of has an ashy texture so it's something to wash out at night like makeup. Scalp makeup lol.
Hats are good. I wore trucker hats for most of my teen years, but I don't wear them much anymore, especially being out of the stress of school. However - a piece of advice from a mentor of mine, Jamie Elmore, is to call hats, bands, scarves, wigs, anything under an umbrella term "accessory." It's kind of corny but sometimes conceptualizing these things that way helps coping with the impulse of a world that demands you hide your hair loss and another where you can freely express yourself without fear of judgement. Anyway, I recommend looking her up, she has a magazine and works hard for the alopecia community, particularly for black alopecians.
Oh yeah if you can find those hippy chick silk hair bands that have the elastic around the back, I love those. Regular bandanas are also good.
Uhhh shorter hair also tends to weigh and pull less, which I think everyone has varying sensitivity to, but to anyone considering a bob, why not might help lol. I also lose my hair in the largest amounts in the shower, so like, if you develop a weird complex about showering I know allllllll about it.
I have tried partial wigs, which are custom cut out and adhered to your head, and it's nice if you want to do hairstyles you otherwise could not, but it's high maintenance, very itchy, and gets gummy after about a week.
But yeah it's been a very slow and steady process to get used to going out in public without putting effort in camouflaging my alopecia, and that mostly has to do with tuning people out. The existential stuff gets personal so I save those conversations for a 1-to-1. *Holds you by the shoulder* we are all coping out here.
I look at that sword of Damocles hanging over my head and if my scalp gets wiped out beyond all sidepart repair, I'll go full wig-wearing. I once had a hair stylist who was giddy at the idea of shaving my head when I explained it to her, which was comforting in a silly way.
Anyway, it's been years since I've dipped my toes into the greater Alopecia Community, the ones with all the acronyms, but there are NAAF chapter groups that you can meet and hopefully find people to connect with. I think you need to join an email group though. Anyway. For the longest time the only people I knew with it was just my dad and a cousin who had it for 1 year and never again and seeing a group of people with patchy/full baldness in person for the first time made me cry.
To end on a good note, there have been trials for JAK inhibitors (a treatment for many autoimmune disorders) having really breakthrough success rates at hair regrowth, but I haven't looked into it lately. Seems very promising. A lot better than cortisone shots in the scalp I figure, maybe worth the pain lmao
EDIT: i misremembered it being lupus medication, but it was actually Janus kinase inhibitor trials with success.

Who is Wade?
I am a fan of Elmore Leonard. Love his books, his scripts, and his writing advice. Mr. Leonard’s death saddened me; losing the possibility of ever meeting him, and the end of his beloved writing. Sigh. My sympathy to his family and friends. (Mr. Leonard died in 2013).
For those uninitiated in Leonard’s work, you might be aware of movies made from his stories such as Get Shorty, Jackie Brown, 3:10 to Yuma, and television such as the FX series, Justified and now Justified City Primeval. My favorite was the short lived television series - Maximum Bob, title character played by Beau Bridges.
But what does that have to do with ‘Who is Wade?’
Well, should you be an original Justified fan from 2010- 2015, or a more recent Hulu viewer of the series, remember Boyd Crowder? He was played by the resurrecting Walter Groggins (Mr. Groggins, I am so sorry for this.) Boyd was originally supposed to die in the pilot episode, but producer, Graham Yost, pulled for the character to be a continuing part of the drama originated and executive produced by Mr. Leonard. As a baddie goes, I love Mr. Crowder.
Not to down play Mr. Olyphant’s portrayal of the center character of Justified, Raylan Givens. The synergy of all the right people at the right time and with the right material still holds up as great fiction work all the way around. This series was based on the Givens character in one of Leonard’s short stories, Fire in the Hole.
Many fans, like me, were stunned to hear of a reboot after Mr. Leonard’s passing. Mixed feelings and questions on the latest mini series went through my mind and heart. Justified City Primeval did not disappoint. No longer in Kentucky, this series begins first in Florida and then taking a nod to Elmore Leonard’s novel City Primeval: High Noon in Detroit settled in for the ride up north before ending . . . well, don’t want to give that away. The series was enjoyable right up to the end. Our hero Raylan and daughter Willa, played by real life father and daughter Olyphants was genius, great work Vivian! In the last episode the phone rings and the scene cuts to –––– Crowder in prison being led out by guards.
In my home watching this I am screaming “CROWDER!” And for the life of me, don’t know where the name WADE came from but I kept calling out “WADE CROWDER!” My heart knew this was wrong, but I was so engrossed with watching, that my brain couldn’t function beyond a mild awareness that Wade was not the character’s correct name. After calming down, and a quick search online, an apology was said to the ceiling correcting myself to the character Boyd Crowder (and to Mr. Groggins).
Sometimes my mouth and brain do not function well together. I think this must be what it feels like to call out the wrong name, at the wrong time.

All throughout June, Black Music Month is being recognized nationally.
In honor of the month, here are five Black musicians who are considered pioneers of their genres.
Robert Johnson: Considered the “King of the Delta Blues,” Robert Johnson is considered one of the originators of the genre that went on to serve as the basis for country, rock, pop and more. Known posthumously as one of the greatest blues performers of all time, Johnson’s recordings such as “Sweet Home Chicago,” “Love in Vain” and “I Believe I’ll Dust My Broom” have been covered by musicians such as Elmore James, The Rolling Stones, Muddy Waters and more.
Although Johnson’s recordings are limited to just 29 songs taped from 1936 to 1937, his staple guitar sound combining lower rhythmic elements and higher melodic licks alongside slide guitar helped pioneer the Delta blues sound.
Juan Atkins: As a part of the “Belleville Three,” Atkins is recognized for his role in developing Detroit techno. Known for helping coin the term “techno” as a way to describe his music, Atkins first formed Cybotron alongside Richard “3070” Davis in 1980.
Influenced by Afrofuturism-inspired funk, German synthesizer musicians such as Kraftwerk and Italian disco, Cybotron’s sound combining synth and a drum machine with beats similar to the New York sound helped provide the foundation for Detroit techno. Also inspired by the Chicago house scene, Atkins has had a career spanning over 40 years as part of groups such as Model 500.
Sister Rosetta Tharpe: As the “Godmother of Rock’N’Roll,” Sister Rosetta Tharpe pioneered the genre and helped influence musicians such as Little Richard, Odetta, Mavis Staples, Tina Turner and Bob Dylan, amongst others.
In her teens, Tharpe had already played with legendary musicians such as Duke Ellington in New York City before touring with gospel legends the Dixie Hummingbirds. Also known as the first gospel singer known nationally and the first gospel artist to record with a company, Tharpe pioneered rock’n’roll as well with the help of her Les Paul Custom. With her electric guitar, she helped create its custom sound through techniques such as her hammer-clawed guitar plucking and fast-paced playing, helping bring the swing sound and traditional melodic elements to rock’n’roll.
DJ Kool Herc: As the “Father of Hip Hop,” DJ Kool Herc’s 1973 block party is known as the place of the birth of hip cop culture. With his innovative“Merry-Go-Round” technique using two turntables and a mixer to create breakbeats, Herc laid the foundation for what would develop as the hip-hop genre. The musician also helped bring the toasting technique, which originated from Jamaica, to his sound, debuting his use of the technique at the famed 1973 party. From toasting, eventually, emceeing and rap would develop.
Sam Cooke: As a soul icon, Sam Cooke’s contributions to the genre influenced a variety of artists such as Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin and more. Considered the “father” of the genre and the “King of Soul,” Cooke’s career began with his work as part of the Soul Stirrers. With the group, Cooke, as lead singer, helped bring gospel music to the younger crowds. Eventually, Cooke shifted to the pop music sphere and, from 1957 to 1964, had 30 top 40 hits on the Billboard charts, including “You Send Me” and “Cupid.” Cooke also took part in the civil rights movement, recording “A Change is Gonna Come” as the anthem of the movement. The song was preserved by the Library of Congress in 2007 for its impact.
