Snow Miser/Heat Miser (SKA COVER) YouTube video by Ska Tune Network

It ain't the holidays without @skatunenetwork.bsky.social.

my @blackliqwoftd.bsky.social vinyl came in the mail just in time for a social media break.... but when i tell you –
divine timing. #WOFTD

now i'm realizing, took to back hiatuses. (hiati? ..breaks)

incidentally, i learned in my studies abroad (the rainstorm, rolling greenery & punk clubs of RVA count right?) that the singular form of data is datum & i said "datum? i barely know 'em" so i'm officially one of those guys. 😬

being sick isn't pleasant as it is, but being sick as a single parent is for the fucking BIRDS.

it's even more convoluted and screwed up than that, because while one branch of healthcare is incentivized to throw every drug at you, there's an equally/ more powerful system of insurance companies whose goal is to deny you anything and charge you for doing so.
basically it's always your fault 🥸😂

THIS!
This. absolutely this.
i'm in the states (VA) but lived all around and i have to say, rarely in my life have i found a medical professional dedicated to helping me find a cause that took more than one visit. we're lucky if we get meds thrown at us here 😂😂

i have heard from trusted sources that this holds up, never been lucky enough to find out for myself 😿

🙀🙀 clearly i picked the wrong time to go on hiatus

cuz i am missing ALL the coolest things

gotta lot of raw talent to catch up on 'round these parts.... cuz y'all move quick!

-it's ok to take breaks to breathe from all this madness the internet / capitalist overlords hath brought upon us
-raising your kid on ska (and good food and decent morals) is healing af
🌎🕶️🫡🔉

really solid lessons from the past few weeks though:
-don't let others rain on your parade
-it's not your job to save people who aren't stable, even if it's just with kindness or silence

now wtf are we listening to? i've been on ska reddit but you know how quickly that can turn.... [see below 🤣]

i'd been getting a ton of harassment on here from someone i've never even met, and got pretty tired, but it seems like they're just a really angry person in general. as always, i'm gonna wish em the best
and lots of rocks to kick

but it's nice to be back after a breather

had me at the burp but that little dance really... sealed the deal

AFI themed zine about Davey Havok

New zine in progress

i think the main thing a lot of you “the economy is better than it’s ever been” types are failing to grasp is that it really—and i mean REALLY—makes it look like you don’t give a shit about poor people.

not only am i a guy who likes to watch football, but i'm also a dad. so right off the jump i'm already one of the most fascinating people you've ever heard of. and that's before you find out that i live in brooklyn and post on bluesky a lot

Looking into a bookshop from the storefront window

The beautiful chaos of a used bookstore is unmatched.

someone at Big Migraine HQ is chuckling as they count stacks of cash one bill at a time ahah

migraine meds can be so variable it's really strange, i've had such a range of different reactions (changed my prescription about five or six times since starting on them back in HS).... & you're really over a barrel because the alternative to trying a new one is literal agony.

46 Years Ago

1979 was also a year with great punk rock, post-punk, and ska albums.

Here's a selection—is your favorite among them?

Mine is definitely Ramones - It's Alive

Local folks might not believe it, but a sleepy suburb like Nyack, NY hosted a kickass final show on our 7-state east coast run. Where should we play next? 🤔 (After our 12/11 album release at Bottom of the Hill in SF with @omnigone.band and Matamoska - bottomofthehill.com/20251211.html )

in better news, we seem to be almost out of the woods!

now it's just regular mayhem 😎

being sick isn't pleasant as it is, but being sick as a single parent is for the fucking BIRDS.

and there have been a lot of good moments as we weather this thing together (not just the mysterious illness we've been passing back and forth, but the predicament we've been thrust into, alone. together.)

while his lyrics could still use a little work (mostly gibberish), the tone was really there. even demanded to use one of the cordless mics though he absolutely did not need it. (the lung capacity to decibel level ratio of the modern toddler should be studied)

back from a hiatus of sorts. such hospital, some home, then hospital again, much sick. of course it happened (or started) on Fest week. shaking my fist at the sky. kiddo was happy i stayed home but was very sick as well, took out his anger on his tiny drum kit. he's getting better by the day.
