the dash is in tatters. please say something nice to the person you reblog this from. it's so sad to see you all so sad
PUNK PSA:
Please don’t put anything too political on your back patches— especially about your own marginalized experiences.
This has been a long standing rule in punk communities, passed down for generations. People do get jumped and experience violence as a result of this. You can’t see who is behind you, you can’t tell if they’re far right, and you can’t prepare yourself for sudden violence from behind.
So many people are new to the scene, introduced via social media, and don’t know the weight of walking with something on your back (literally and metaphorically) that immediately outs you as marginalized. If you’re able to defend yourself, or out with friends who can watch your back, by all means go for it and wear whatever you want on your back patches but if you walk alone at all ever, please be safe.
Also this is why punks wear spikes and studs on our shoulders especially. Makes it harder for someone to grab you and works as self defense (but also never wear spikes at a small show or if you plan to mosh— people can get hurt!).
So fucking important. Please stay safe.
I truly hate the world we live in

according to most news outlets, trump has won the presidency with 277 electoral votes to harris’ 224. as an autistic/adhd nonbinary afab person in a queer relationship, i am reaching out to everyone who will be affected by this election and reminding all of you that we survived. we survived the first trump election. we survived regan. we survived nixon. and we will survive this.
this will be his final term as president. and whatever happens, we will be there to pick up the pieces. even if we have to rebuild our country brick by stonewall brick, we will.
punk lives with us. the queer community, the disabled community, and america’s women will be okay. we will fight. we will survive. and our children will live.
In remembrance of our fallen kin, and a vow to continue fighting for a safer more accepting world
May their flame never go out.
