the thing about matt murdock is that he doesn’t even have superpowers that are all that useful for crime fighting. he’s a human lie detector and could probably sniff out a murderer based on one droplet of sweat left at the scene but does he have super healing? super strength? super speed? all no. babe could have been sherlock holmes on steroids & instead he’s going out with three broken ribs and a concussion to fight the irish mob, the yakuza, the hand clan, the russian mafia, wilson fisk, and every minor criminal that crosses his path with his fists and a billy club

Oh hey I’m seeing this for a second time in my feed

If you think blindly following the news and government mandates makes you a punk, you’re fucking stupid. You’re literally the establishment you fucking idiot. No I don’t give a shit about you missing out on a show because the band or venue followed the rules, both you and them are bootlicking mongrels. No I won’t wear a mask. No I won’t stay home. No I won’t blindly follow the rules. You’re fucked you fucking statist, and you’re my enemy. But go ahead and wear the clothes and style yourself, your facade is glaringly obvious

hey buddy, idk if you've noticed, but (at least where I live) the government has entirely stopped enforcing COVID safety. There are no govt enforced mandates anymore.

govts around the world have stopped giving a shit about their people getting sick with covid, because governments don't care about us, they care about the economy!

shows are getting cancelled because bands get SICK and they physically cannot perform because covid sucks the energy out of you. I've seen bands dissolve bc members came down with long COVID and could no longer perform AT ALL.

the establishment doesn't give a shit about us, they'd rather let us die to get the fucking economy back on its feet. the govt expects us to get on with our lives and pretend everything is OK when it's not.

the authorities won't bother trying to keep us safe, as our safety isn't worth anything to them.

So we might as well do it. we might as well keep ourselves and eachother safe for eachother, for our communities. to show eachother that WE CARE, that at least SOMEONE cares when the government DOESN'T.

you cannot sit idly by when the establishment attempts to weaken you with uncontrolled disease.

Being punk has never been about “going against the government no matter what they say and do” it’s been “arguing what’s best for the people against a corrupt system of power that doesn’t care what is best for the people as long as it’s better for them”. We are LUCKY the government mandated masks at all- and look how well THAT turned out. Assholes like you couldn’t even do the bare minimum for that.

"The establishment" has always been anti mandate. The government has to be begged and pleaded into it by the medical community after demonstrating that people were dying in droves and said government continued to do the bare minimum it could get away with. All the richest, loudest, most powerful personality cults are covid "truthers" killing more and more people by spreading false information and claiming that safety precautions come from whoever they think is the evil side of politics.

People like @thekanucklehead are the actual blind sheep following the opinions, beliefs, and selfish desires of unscientific celebrities. The precautions aren't mean rules the government invented, but objective scientific logic the government only begrudgingly enacted. This guy is a direct puppet and shill of the rich when he spins the opposite narrative

reblog and put in the tags what you consider to be a normal/safe amount of personal information to reveal on the internet

#ideally you should share nothing#i personally am comfortable sharing: first name. country of origin. state of origin. (sometimes) age/date of birth. and some stuff i like#even though that's kind of a lot y'all wouldn't be able to answer my security questions and that's what counts#i really don't care how little someone shares with me as long as i have something to call them (name/nickname/username)

"the curtains weren't blue on purpose. why should we care?"

my love! let me ask you this - did you eat breakfast today? this tiny moment in your life. just think about it. did you?

for some of you, the answer is yes and for some of you it is technically and for some of you it is does coffee count. some of you reached for cereal or gmo-free overnight oats or frozen waffles or 3-day-old pizza. sometimes we eat the same thing, every day, for weeks. i get tired of eggs randomly, only to go back to craving them desperately. i'm cuban; i take my coffee like my father showed me, very milky and sweet.

some of us ate in a hurry. some of us hate eating breakfast but if we don't we will get nauseous later. some of us took our meds first or took our meds after. some of us have a kitchen 5 feet wide and sometimes it's the biggest room in the house. some of us are confident there will be food in the pantry and some of us flinch and say well, the paycheck is coming. some of us turn on a podcast while we eat or we scroll our phones or write in our diaries.

some of us are choosing, specifically, not to eat breakfast. some of us are too busy. some of us are pretending we "just forgot," but we are ignoring the warning signs that everything feels too-heavy. some of us are so consumed with anxiety or grief that we can't eat. some of us can't stand up long enough to make our coffee. some of us have no table to sit down and eat.

i cannot tell you what an artist "meant" by their choices. but they did have to make a choice, conscious or otherwise, to give you information. to give you a little bit more light. each of these choices are little stars of data; connecting speckles for you to weave through, drawing a line.

you cannot use a mirror in a dark room. for some of us; we will not care that the curtains are blue, because that will just be a data point and not enough light to see by. for some of us, the blue curtains will be the same as our childhood bedroom. it will make us seasick. for some of us, blue will be the color of frostbite. it might look like a pixel up close; but from a distance, oh! the picture blooms.

i cannot tell you what will stick out for you. what will carry meaning. some of you will read the sentence "i didn't have breakfast today" and say "this means nothing." some of you will read that and say "oh, me neither." some of you will say "this means the character is probably a little grouchy." some of you will say "oh, i wonder if they're okay. why didn't they eat anything?" ... art is a mirror. i am holding hands with you, over space and time, and asking you to feel something with me.

i want you to read my work and find a blue pair of curtains. i want you to read my work and find things in it that i never imagined placing. i have no way of knowing what will resonate with you, that's true. and maybe i just was hungry while i wrote this, and thinking about the eggs in my fridge. but if you found meaning, that meaning is yours. it cannot be erased just because i didn't "intend" it. you created a different world by interpreting my work. it's collaborative! that's beautiful! that's stunning!

just! imagine looking at the night sky and saying - it's stupid to have a favorite constellation or a favorite star. they're just there.

because here's the thing - across centuries and cultures, we look up. we still find meaning in the stars. these beautiful, lovely scattered accidents. are you looking? they call. and we look back and say oh! of course we are!
