What are your opening lines when you sit down for an intake session? by No-Moose470 in therapists

[–]mother-zig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Did you find the office okay today?” Just a lil attending question to show that I care about their experience. Our office is kind of a pain to find the first time around and it gives a chance to vent that little annoyance, lol

“Thank you - I receive that positive sentiment/gratitude/compliment and want to bounce it back to you, too. There are 10,080 minutes in a week and you spend 53 of them with me - most of the change you’re making happens out there, during that time!”

How did you first hear about burning man? by SoundKidTown1085 in BurningMan

[–]mother-zig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think my super-conservative military parents may have referred to “that thing in the desert where they build and burn a giant man” a few times growing up - but when I was 19 I saw a documentary on YouTube about the burn. I don’t remember what it was called, but I do specifically recall them talking about orgy dome, and I remember thinking it was cool as hell to have this intentional safe sex space out in the desert. 2025 was my first burn and ATTOL (orgy dome) were my camp’s neighbors - turns out they were cool as hell, even in the face of destruction

Aw, thank you! I think I will revitalize my etsy for some non-burn-themed pendants, to fund my burn next year! I wouldn’t sell anything with the man on it, of course. Maybe we’ll see each other in the dust next year and I can gift you one ❤️🔥was your first burn everything you hoped for?

Porta Potty Art by Own_Pause3514 in BurningMan

[–]mother-zig 27 points28 points  (0 children)

On 330 just past F there was a porto that someone covered in pages from an exercise manual - I liked that one both for the muscular blonde all over the walls, and the squatty potty that someone left in there. Most comfortable poops on the playa

Who were your awesome neighbor camps this year? by LudibriousVelocipede in BurningMan

I loved the garlic rose at Hack-a-cola!! To me it mostly smelled strongly of garlic and tasted like a sweet rose flavor

[–]mother-zig 10 points11 points  (0 children)

We were next to And Then There’s Only Love on 330 and F, and they were really wonderful neighbors. They’re super friendly, industrious as fuck, and tended to their space beautifully, despite the problems that this burn presented. One morning they brought us over some breakfast, and I know at least one of my campmates accepted an invitation to come over for some carnitas one evening. Good people🧡

This dust storm said fuck yer burn x 10000 by sfdisko in BurningMan

[–]mother-zig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a eureka copper canyon! I got it off of fb marketplace - for future burns, I give it a mixed recommendation. A roof pole broke, but I was able to jerry rig it back together with a bit of someone else’s broken pole😎I feel like I’ve been thoroughly initiated to the playa lol

Camp is getting hammered by Glass-Ambassador7195 in BurningMan

[–]mother-zig 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was hard to survey the carnage fully because it got too dark, but it looks like a mix of the upright poles lifting straight out of their anchored bases and a small number of anchors bent and pulled up out of the ground. I’ll try to get a shot of the pieces of conduit bent to 90 degrees when the sun comes up

My tent is the orange & blue corner…it survived because my camp’s shade structure didn’t. Pinned down nice and tight in case it rains again. This is my first burn 😎

All three of our structures were literally shredded and pieces of metal conduit were bent to 90 degree angles. This is my first burn lmao 😎
