Quit shaming people for having messy painted patches, that's not cool and the point of punk is working with what you have. I have very fucked up brushes and a small amount of paint most of the time so I can't pound it on there. I have no printers I can use and blades are extremely triggering for me. Is it readable? Yes? Then it's fine. I'm doing what I can, shaming me won't do shit. Plus, you're discouraging new punks from doing what they can with what they have and forcing them to buy from potentially horrible places. I don't have the best paint, I don't have the best brushes, I don't have the best fabric, fuck I don't have the best surfaces to paint on but I'm doing what I can. If you're shaming the people unable to afford certain things, that's not very punk of you.

not to get serious on a silly account but if you bully people because they buy from fast fashion and big companies under the guise that they are part of the problem no matter the situation, you are not a real punk. Shein is bad, Amazon is bad, Walmart is bad. They’re bad because they have grown and destroyed so many small businesses under their boot heel to get to the point that people rely on them to survive. THAT IS BAD. however, people who use them because they need them to survive ARE NOT BAD. the goal is to destroy these corporations so that WE DONT NEED THEM. If you bash someone because they wear shein because it’s the only clothes they can get in their size, or someone who buys their textbooks off amazon because it’s cheaper than a high end store, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM. you are not punk because you don’t see the issue, you see the victims. To truly rise up against corporate businesses, you need to know that people need these to survive, that is the businesses problem, not theirs. Grow up, you aren’t punk, you’re an elitist.

As a former realist art student i mean what i say when i tell u I’m so relieved to just be allowed to fucking hate art

tiktok metal elitists when they find out that metal bars play all kinds of metal

putting my prediction on record now that the coming decade is going to see the rise of viral-marketed fancy at-home water filtration systems, driving and driven by a drastic reduction in the quality of U.S. tap water (given that we are in a 'replacement era' where our current infrastructure is reaching the end of its lifespan--but isn't being replaced). also guessing that by the 2030s access to drinkable tap water will be a mainstream class issue, with low-income & unstably housed people increasingly forced to rely on expensive bottled water when they can't afford the up-front cost of at-home filtration--and with this being portrayed in media as a "moral failing" and short-sighted "choice," rather than a basic failure of our political & economic systems. really hope i'm just being alarmist, but plenty of this already happens in other countries, and the U.S. is in a state of decline, so. here's praying this post ages into irrelevance. timestamped April 2023

Thinking a little bit about that one "I'm an English major and a professional as opposed to you amateurs" anon. Gonna roast 'em a little bit, but with the intention of addressing a thing we've had in mind for a while.

Real talk, coming from someone who WAS an English major; majoring in English is not necessarily a guarantee that someone is a good writer. For one, you can be bad at your major, full stop. For another, it's not even a guarantee that someone identifies as a writer to begin with. English as a major is pretty broad, and it covers reading too, among other things. There's library science, analytical academia, historical preservation & interpretation (MEDIEVAL MANUSCRIPTS HELL YES), editing, nonfiction trades (often crosses over with STEM majors), marketing (crosses over with business majors), and also book design and typography (<3 <3 <3 our favorite, crosses over with art majors).

Someone can major in English and take a specific minor with the goal of falling into a trade that is not writing literary fiction. In fact, we would argue that most people who get something useful out of their major are the ones that do that.

It's also worth noting that it's possible to be an English major focused on "lowbrow" fiction. There are people who major in English and use the experience towards the end of writing erotica. There are people who major in English with the intent to write genre fiction. There are people who major in English to study the history and social context of fanfiction.

These things are, in fact, worthy fields of study! The realm of the "amateur" is the realm where a lot of cultural conversations and innovations happen!

Expecting English as a major to be a tract specifically for producing acclaimed literary fictionists is not realistic, not how the discipline typically works, and it's certainly not a thing you can use to hold over other writers' heads. It is perfectly possible for people to write good things (professional-grade things even) without ever touching a college course.

I sat through so much bad writing in college. Technically bad, thematically bad, gramatically bad. And I routinely bump into non-graduate authors who write texts, formal and informal alike, that blow my own writing clean out of the water with their quality.

In short, dismissing other people in your general field as "amateurs" who are beneath you is an incredibly unprofessional thing to do.

I LOVE YOU ALL AND THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING MY PATCH VESTS AND JACKETS IM LITERALLY SHAKING IM SO HAPOY THIS IS MY FIRST TIME POSTING THEM AND YALL ALREADY LOVE THEM I JUST WNANA GIVR YOU ALL HUGS THANK YOU SO MUCH AS SOMEONE WHOS STRUGGLED WITH FEELING INVALID IN THE COMMUNITY BC OF ELITISTS YALL ARE SO NICE AND AMAZING AND AND AND AND AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH TYSM <333333333

*slaps Drayton's ass* this boy can fit so much Plasma trauma behind that smile!!!!

This hogwarts legacy stuff really is separating the wheat from the chaff. If you can't bring yourself to not buy a video game, knowing what you know about the creator of the franchise's transphobia, antisemitism, racism, and the problematic elements of the game itself, you don't really care about these issues. It's just one fucking video game you're being asked to pass on. I'm sure there are a million other games, games you probably already bought and are just sitting there unfinished or unopened from a digital sale. You can pass on one game, it's not impossible!

It wouldn't be so maddening if people just said "fuck you I don't care I want to play the stupid wizard game" but no they want to be patted on the head and told that they're still a good person. You have to own your choices. If you felt any real guilt about this, going out of your way to buy a $60 video game (which is a luxury purchase) vs not and supporting a boycott should be a super easy decision. Stop lying to yourself and others, just play the wizard game and don't try to play activist/ally on the internet.
