Currently writing a business plan for a diy Emo merchandising distribution site for my e-commerce class, ama.

Fuck visibility.

I want safety.

I want to be able to cross the border without fearing my passport will be seized.

I want to be employable.

I want to be allowed to love who I love without interference by the state.

I want to be able to piss.

we are playing a special Nick Webber / Ben Sooy / Ryan Day moody delay pedal soaked set of APFO songs tomorrow night at the Leisure Hour show at 7th Circle tomorrow night, you should roll out for this one

i looked at the money in the etsy account from these stupid hats this morning and felt wasteful and dumb, so all of it’s gonna go to advocates for trans equality + i’ll match whatever the final number is/any smaller donations you make on your own, just send a screenshot
dm for hat

Currently cooking with a bunch of cool mask designs

Like it could have integration with bandcamp, and each band or member can place a dot on where they’re located approximately. So places like venues, record stores, or even coffee shops can be visual hubs for these communities. I have so many cool ideas for this that I hope I can implement

I really want to develop an interactive map for bands in different states. So like you could filter and find emo bands in Denver for example. Also I would want to make a feature where it would include venues and links to their sites. That way it could help streamline exploration of local scenes

I’m leaving my job soon, after that I’m being a part time game dev while I’m in school. I’ll be broke but it should be a lot of fun

One of my goals as a game dev is to get to the point where I can have bands I like/am friends with contribute to soundtracks for my games. Specifically @aplaceforowls.bsky.social

Dine Fest. Massive success. My friendshipometer was going bananas

Yall the Denver Emo scene is amazing. I’m so happy to be apart of this community

Life is crazy

By the way I currently don’t do commissions, mainly because I’m a student and I’ve got a lot of other shit I work on, so art and design isn’t something I get to work on consistently. I do charge if it’s something that will be used for promotion or merchandising obviously.

Sorry I’m super tired rn so this didn’t really make sense.

If you are in the diy emo community, and need an artist hmu.

straight to hell for anyone who tries to turn a plane crash into a political dunk contest

Yo hmu if you ever need are in the diy emo community and need a graphic designer I’m trying to build my portfolio. I’ve lost access to a lot of my old stuff so I’m having to restart practically from scratch.

I’m so demotivated for literally everything

It’s quieter over here. I like that.

This is Friday

march 6th we are playing with camping in alaska in pomona, ca

Detransition freedom is a key part of trans freedom. Gender shouldn’t be a thing if you change it your life is ruined like some claim, and it never has been. The ability to detransition if your current self does not match the gender you changed to allows for gender identity to be fluid and diverse.

Your affinity for canned fish concerns me
