Social yet Distanced Intros: Toni Nagy
Social yet DistancedToni Nagy is a stand-up comedian and content creator most known for her viral videos where she interpretive dances her philosophies while pontificating, gyrating, and questioning culture. Her comedy is quasi-–radical, pseudo-philosophical, somewhat existential, and mostly funny. Being with Toni is like micro-dosing shrooms, but then an hour later you start wondering, "Wait... was that actually a macro-dose!?"

Nail on the Head:
A short Poem from Jack Varnell-@EmotionalorphanNet A SocialYetDistanced production https://linktr.ee/socialyetdistanced buymeacoffee.com/socialyetdistanced 💔 #Rejection hurts deeply 🤯 Struggling with the realization it's nobody's fault 🤔 Desires to be rejected for the wrong reasons 😔 Willing to pretend the #loss is due to a lack of understanding 🙈 Wants to hide vulnerabilities, #regrets opening up 🤥 Desires to be told something untrue for comfort 😡 Seeks to mask the pain with self-righteous anger 🌑 #Hopes for ignorance of own flaws to be the reason for rejection 🖤 #Fears being truly known and rejected for the real self 🤐 Longs for a comforting lie instead of a painful truth

The EmotionalOrphan: Cobalt Soldiers
The EmotionalOrphan: Cobalt Soldiers
The ancient windowsill and it's cobalt blue contrasts oversee the sun-shined courtyard that's always been there. The cylindrical soldiers of fused sand held and kept pure Grandma's ease and comfort those last days. Now, cobalt sentinels watch over the courtyard, shielding from the same golden heat and flame that first gave it purpose. Bottles emptied, their beauty remains. Soldiers new orders have been given, and their purpose has changed. To ensuring Grandmothers memory lives on forever, while the sun shines on, over the courtyard that's always been there.

The EmotionalOrphan: Warped Lives Of Blameless Children: Monogrammed -Liver and Onions Part I and II...
The EmotionalOrphan: Warped Lives Of Blameless Children: Monogrammed Straight Jacket--Liver and Onions Part I and II "Monogram Straight Jacket H" The speaker has two monogram straight jackets. The jackets have initials for identification. Adult childproof analog ID plastic bracelet in Amber color provided. The medication has potential side effects. 😵 "Liver and Onions Part One" The speaker has consumed their own liver metaphorically. Describes bitterness and hatred. Mentions writing it down after purging. References a dark room with strangers. 🤔 "Liver with Onions Part Two" Mentions following a note and reaching the end of a wind tunnel. Realization of being in a sewer instead of fresh air. Describes methane and sludge in the tunnel. Suggests dissecting frogs and making notes for experimentation. ******************************** monogram straight jacket monogram straight jacket right here in the lap of luxury and there's initials that are there and that's so they can match the name to the face and the records and all that stuff then now they give you an adult childproof analog ID plastic bracelet The falls color is the Amber usually and it is this year it clashes with the orderly Green scrubs and opposes the happy-go-lucky pastels of everything else they give me pills to make me feel better and they may cause me liver disease erectile dysfunction, migraines or make me drowsy. my question is where is the comfort in that where is the fun in that I can find my own pills those in charge it seems are painfully aware that my thoughts are heavy machinery and that I should not be operating them here on the road to happy Destiny. if I get lost though it at least I have a monogram straight jacket and an adult childproof analog ID bracelet because Amber says it's going to be that way until fall is over ********************************* liver and onions part one and two part one liver and onions I've eaten up my own liver with onions starving for for its rancid Taste of bitterness and hatred from a guilt edged plate with a one point Fork reused and sharpened on a matchbook with a side of hard whiskey or maybe cheap wine in a dark room full of strangers taking turns clothed in a cold shower of Saving Grace and so I write it all down after I'm through purging and I go back through the soup line liver with onions part two dissecting the frogs the note said to go and I have been to the end of the wind tunnel and I've learned that sometimes when you need air the most you realize you're in the sewer instead backing up clog filling in the tunnel with the dankness and sludge the methane drowns the air flow and it throws off the whole damn experiment Paints the outcome but you write it all down and you can call it Placebo or control group or whatever you want just dissect another Frog by starting again from scratch and always

who is the emotional orphan ?
I am not a hero, possess no fortune, haven’t changed the course of mankind in any way.
I am unaware of any lives permanently altered by knowing me.
On the other hand, I am no serial killer, thief, dictator , malingerer, or miscreant.
I am not in jail or institution.
Some were sure I would be.
I am not dead. Bets were surely placed on how long Id last.
I am a museum of past affection.
A wax museum in the sun.
The byproduct of repetition, resentment, and the past.
“Sine Amore Nihil Sum” “without love I am nothing”

socialyetistanced education roundtable one..
Paul Corman-Roberts has helped it launch. This is rooted in a ten-year discussion with Fran Lock, the Dr, and her trusty steed pooch Stanley Parker-Lock. I--his is about the education systems as students, as teacher, and how you have adapted and what’s the future look like. We are attempting to do fb and zoom and this is one of two planned covering the education systems. If you are a teacher, of any kind, tell us more… message me . Round 2 will have teachers from England, Ireland, Iran and other places I’ve heard of…

Emotionalorphan "Stories from the Orphanage"
Reliving through the #stories, #experiences and #poems,
from the old "that's a great story, you should write that down" pile.
Given the moniker "Emotional Orphan" many years ago,
embracing that title has served well, and most of my art
has been tied to the pseudonym. Pseudo- Name.
From the "Warped Lives Of Blameless Children,
to the "escape from the orphanage"
you likely will be engaged, and come back for more.
Maybe Offer some support.
And I won't have to keep trying to make myself sit down and write.
I can run off at the mouth espousing bs like I like to do....
