Many have been torn between letting their hair grow long during the pandemic, or cutting it themselves. Throness chose to let his grow, but his relief was spelled out simply in post.

“Aaah, at last,” he quipped.

Throness had a little fun with the lockdown situation, too. On May 9, he posted a pic of himself playing Scrabble with a small statue of The Thinker.

“Things are getting a little bit squirrely in the house so I had a friend over to play a game. Sometimes we disagree about a word, but he’s such a deep thinker – he always wins,” he joked.
