this sounds dumb and sensitive but if you’re reading this then you stand for something and i fucking love you strangers. i grew up basement in punk/hardcore rock shows where the misfits who didn’t feel right in ‘normal’ social circles congregated. education at ‘elite’ institutions pushed by mom and dad didn’t really help.  this community is the only thing i can point to that brings back memories of that punk/ hardcore community from 25 years ago. that world changed my life, and this one is doing so too.  keep fighting the good fight.
