Quentin Quarantino's Accomplishments in Quarantine

What sort of object is this: text story, photograph, video, audio interview, screenshot, drawing, meme, etc.?

Instagram Meme

Tell us a story; share your experience. Describe what the object or story you've uploaded says about the pandemic, and/or why what you've submitted is important to you.


This meme voices the envisioned goals many of us possessed if we “only had the time.”

When quarantine hit, all of a sudden we DID have the time, however, our lofty goals of learning a new language, taking up guitar, or writing that great American novel seemed to fall by the wayside as we dissolved into napping, watching Netflix (one of our entertainment services that has movies, TV shows, etc. to amuse us), snacking, and if we were very ambitious, baking.
We seem to not be living up to Newton’s or Shakespeare’s accomplishments while THEY were in isolation.

All this guy (and so many of us) has managed to accomplish is multiple posts to Instagram. Oh! And he forged an alias for himself.

Use one-word hashtags (separated by commas) to describe your story. For example: Where did it originate? How does this object make you feel? How does this object relate to the pandemic?
