I will rename your poorly-named ska band for free.
I am offering this service to ska bands.
Learn from our mistakes, ska bands of today. We had bad band names as a warning to the future.
I think those of us who were in multiple ska bands back then learned this as we went. Your first band would be called like Jimmy's Bad Pants and by your third it was called something like The Ruleset.

We drove up to Potter County, a remote region with the darkest skies in Pennsylvania, to look at stars. Down the road from where we were staying is a tiny town called Austin, notable for a disaster that happened there in 1911. Although tbh "happened" is far too passive a term. Image
Austin was a small settlement in a valley between the heavily wooded hills, and it grew into a bustling town during the logging boom the region was undergoing during the late 19th century. It was also prone to an absurd number of complete disasters. A short list:
A short list of disasters I found mention of:
1889: destroyed by flood
1890: destroyed by fire
1891: destroyed by fire
1894: destroyed by flood
1897: destroyed by fire

I can smell the interior of this car
car comes with complementary second hand smoke damage to your lungs
car has all kinds of connectivity but it will only play a light FM station from sometime in the late 80s. passengers have reported feelings of carsickness soundtracked by back to back versions of If You Don't Know Me By Now

It's my birthday. I am 40. Feels basically normal.
This is the first year in a while where I'd love a party with friends but I guess there's a "pandemic" happening and most of my "friends" live "elsewhere"
Thank you for the well wishes, folks.

Today is the 100th anniversary of the The Battle Of Blair Mountain, a huge moment in US history and one most people have never heard of, a shooting fight involving thousands of workers vs the forces of capital in the mountains of West Virginia. #Blair100
This is a good quick summary of things -> inthesetimes.com/article/labor-…
If you have 40 minutes this podcast is also great and contains a lot of great info-> empathymedialab.com/post/the-road-…
If you've followed me for awhile you know how core this kind of thing is to our politics over here, the struggle against capital by organized people who have just had enough of it. And there is a huge history of that which we in the US have been denied, completely by design.

it was really funny watching these war-hungry dumbasses in media treating "forever war" like some simultaneously offensive and also undefinable term
shades of "neoliberal"
seeing a lot of people on here using the f*rever w*r slur...

In our worker co-op if I suddenly do some fucked up shit the other folks can get together and figure out what to do about it, and we have procedures in place for that, including booting me out. They still own the project, they still have access to the bank account, etc
One of the big reasons we wanted to do this is because we'd all experienced how standard workplace structures or even looser teams lend themselves to abuse and exploitation and cultures of silence and excuses etc. Like straight up that was and is a huge motivator.
When we talk a lot about increasing the amount of power workers have in the workplace, I cannot underline this enough, it is directly related to past experiences in the workplace including the things that regularly are exposed in the game industry. We didn't just have some whim.
