  • My sister’s ex husband was a monster. at one point he was public enemy #1 in Washington State. The cyber stalking he did was so new it amazed the FBI at the time. It was a big fucking deal.

    She stayed strong and survived the worst and finally was able to escape and tell the story. She was the subject of a NBC special and even Cosmopolitan had a multiple page piece on her.

    But what I will forever be proud of her, she spoke to Congress and received a Thomas Jefferson Cup and had her prepared statement entered into the Congressional record.

    She was a major factor in the cyber stalking laws that are currently in place around the USA

    She is an amazing woman, I’m so proud of you big sis ❤️








  • pink floyd got most of their initial momentum from a single guy. at the time he is super popular and really good looking. a charming dude from all accounts. John Lennon and Yoko were at a pink floyd show before they met.

    so Syd Barrett is famous for a few things, Pink Floyd founding member / created the name. influenced the avente guard approach to music. was a king of the underground London scene. was on Jimi Hendrix first tour of England.

    But behind the scenes Syd took a lot of LSD and at one point considered to have taken more lsd than anyone else in the UK

    so he is kinda a fuckup party magnet and his personal relationships are failing so he scored a bunch of qualloods and takes the whole lot one weekend

    everyone who knew him say there’s a Syd before that weekend and a person after but never did Syd come back.

    His solo stuff and the first two pink floyd albums are probably my most favorite

    I’ve been fascinated with Syd Barrett for most of my life. He even influenced The Damned when they recorded what is considered the first punk rock record
