I don't feel like I'm a "true" punk, I don't have a "fuck you" mindset, among a few other things. I do like the punk diy things, which heavily inspired me to start doing stuff with my clothes, repair them, reuse them, make patches, etc, and I'm really thankful for that. I also like punk clothes (but dressing punk =/= being punk, I know). I don't know if I can truly be punk with the way I live and am, or if I can only be punk adjecent.

Well, to tell you the truth, there is nothing wrong with not being a punk (so long as you aren’t a dick of course). And there are plenty of other alternatives groups out there that do a lot of the same diy things punks do (goths, grunge, metalheads, etc)

Though I think the idea of being a ‘true’ punk is very subjective. You seem to base being punk on a ‘fuck you’ attitude and way of life. Personally, I don’t believe thats what really makes someone a punk, but rather something that you often see people in the subculture grow to adopt.

Of course, there are also different ideas of what ‘punk’ even is! Many people associate punk with trouble makers who do what they want when they want no matter what anyone says. Others think of punk as a counter culture where people care about each other and are fighting for whats right.

The point I’m trying to get to is that I dont think having a ‘fuck you’ attitude is the big ‘gotchya’ for being punk. I think what makes someone a punk is based on their values. Do you care about people? Do you do your best to stand up for whats right? Do you think there are things in the world that need to change? Are you doing anything about it? Even if its just spreading awareness? Then I think thats pretty punk of you.

And even if you still dont feel like you are punk right now, but its something that you want to be. You can. You can work on yourself, you can spend time learning and advocating for things, you can spend time helping your community. You dont wake up one day and decide you are a punk, its something you work towards over time

The Death Toll of the Earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria may have reached 20,000 people, and that’s outside of all those who are injured and lost.

  • Islamic Relief:  teams are on the ground right now providing emergency food assistance, shelter, medical supplies to hospitals and clinics, as well as blankets and tents for those made homeless by the quake in Turkey and Syria
  • MolhamThe team at Molham are currently on the ground helping displaced families in Turkey and Syria who have been affected by the earthquake   
  • Turkish Red Crescent: The team are distributing essential aid to those affected by the earthquake across Turkey.
  • The White Helmets: The team are on the ground in Northwest Syria searching for survivors and removing the dead from the rubble.
  • Turkey Mozaik Foundation: Attempting to provide immediate relief and medium to long term recovery to survivors of the earthquake. 
  • MSF: remaining in close contact with the local authorities in northwestern Syria and with the authorities in Turkey to extend their support where it’s needed. They’re providing essential life kits to displaced people in the region
