If you’re truly hardcore or a punk, you know going into it being in a band means taking a financial loss and not giving a fuck about it. Selling shirts for $10 and seeing kids psyched as fuck for you guys and rocking your shit is way more fulfilling than making a few extra bucks
@tofeelhealed I’ve been doing this a real long time. $30 for a hardcore band t shirt is nonsense. We sell our shit for a few bucks above cost and give a ton away to bands we make friends with and trade stuff. I’ve lost money over the last 25 years doing this and it was worth all of it
@alisha_hg Lmao are you high? I live in a walkable city with a store a few blocks away. First off, they don’t sell everything I have in my weekly diet. Second, I’d be able to carry home just my bag of rice and nothing else and have to go back numerous times.
@rowlands_laws@talexratcliffe Yup I see it every single day. There are a lot of people who seemingly also lack the skill to zipper merge. The amount of times I’m waving at drivers letting them in only for them to hesitate forever is maddening.
@noxheav3n@JoeyxRoss We literally sell our shirts for as cheap as possible because I’d rather see more people rocking our shit and barely break even than sell shirts for $25+
@noxheav3n@JoeyxRoss I’ve been in the same band for 20+ years and others before that. Not once did we think of selling merch as a way to make cash. We make a few bucks off of shirts and records and it ends being a wash after we give away shirts and records in trades with friends. It’s the punk way
The Israel Day parade is not about Jewish pride, but the foreign country of Israel. It was created to show support for Israel, & every official description explicitly says that's what it's about. The presence of an Israeli cabinet member is not some mysterious aberration.
New Jersey governor links rising tension around immigrant detention center to out-of-state troublemakers https://t.co/NAusOsaVfv https://t.co/NAusOsaVfv
Some people seem to be surprised that the governor of New Jersey would send in the State Police to attack protesters.
When will you understand that the state and federal government work together to quell resistance? No politician will save you. They are all our enemies.
