Propaganda: “Dude did not know how to play the bass they just saw that pretty dude walking on the street and were like him! He should be in the band! Only because he was really hot but his music skills eventually caught up to his good looks. But the fact that he was scouted like a K-pop idol says a lot.”

I am reading Passion is the fashion and there is something hilarious
25 ways to be a little more punk in 2025
Cut fast fashion - buy used, learn to mend and/or make your own clothes, buy fewer clothes less often so you can save up for ethically made quality
Cancel subscriptions - relearn how to pirate media, spend $10/month buying a digital album from a small artist instead of on Spotify, stream on free services since the paid ones make you watch ads anyway
Green your community - there's lots of ways to do this, like seedbombing or joining a community garden or organizing neighborhood trash pickups
Be kind - stop to give directions, check on stopped cars, smile at kids, let people cut you in line, offer to get stuff off the high shelf, hold the door, ask people if they're okay
Intervene - learn bystander intervention techniques and be prepared to use them, even if it feels awkward
Get closer to your food - grow it yourself, can and preserve it, buy from a farmstand, learn where it's from, go fishing, make it from scratch, learn a new ingredient
Use opensource software - try LibreOffice, try Reaper, learn Linux, use a free Photoshop clone. The next time an app tries to force you to pay, look to see if there's an opensource alternative
Make less trash - start a compost, be mindful of packaging, find another use for that plastic, make it a challenge for yourself!
Get involved in local politics - show up at meetings for city council, the zoning commission, the park district, school boards; fight the NIMBYs that always show up and force them to focus on the things impacting the most vulnerable folks in your community
DIY > fashion - shake off the obsession with pristine presentation that you've been taught! Cut your own hair, use homemade cosmetics, exchange mani/pedis with friends, make your own jewelry, duct tape those broken headphones!
Ditch Google - Chromium browsers (which is almost all of them) are now bloated spyware, and Google search sucks now, so why not finally make the jump to Firefox and another search like DuckDuckGo? Or put the Wikipedia app on your phone and look things up there?
Forage - learn about local edible plants and how to safely and sustainably harvest them or go find fruit trees and such accessible to the public.
Volunteer - every week tutoring at the library or once a month at the humane society or twice a year serving food at the soup kitchen, you can find something that matches your availability
Help your neighbors - which means you have to meet them first and find out how you can help (including your unhoused neighbors), like elderly or disabled folks that might need help with yardwork or who that escape artist dog belongs to or whether the police have been hassling people sleeping rough
Fix stuff - the next time something breaks (a small appliance, an electronic, a piece of furniture, etc.), see if you can figure out what's wrong with it, if there are tutorials on fixing it, or if you can order a replacement part from the manufacturer instead of trashing the whole thing
Mix up your transit - find out what's walkable, try biking instead of driving, try public transit and complain to the city if it sucks, take a train instead of a plane, start a carpool at work
Engage in the arts - go see a local play, check out an art gallery or a small museum, buy art from the farmer's market
Go to the library - to check out a book or a movie or a CD, to use the computers or the printer, to find out if they have other weird rentals like a seed library or luggage, to use meeting space, to file your taxes, to take a class, to ask question
Listen local - see what's happening at local music venues or other events where local musicians will be performing, stop for buskers, find a favorite artist, and support them
Buy local - it's less convenient than online shopping or going to a big box store that sells everything, but try buying what you can from small local shops in your area
Become unmarketable - there are a lot of ways you can disrupt your online marketing surveillance, including buying less, using decoy emails, deleting or removing permissions from apps that spy on you, checking your privacy settings, not clicking advertising links, and...
Use cash - go to the bank and take out cash instead of using your credit card or e-payment for everything! It's better on small businesses and it's untraceable
Give what you can - as capitalism churns on, normal shmucks have less and less, so think about what you can give (time, money, skills, space, stuff) and how it will make the most impact
Talk about wages - with your coworkers, with your friends, while unionizing! Stop thinking about wages as a measure of your worth and talk about whether or not the bosses are paying fairly for the labor they receive
Think about wealthflow - there are a thousand little mechanisms that corporations and billionaires use to capture wealth from the lower class: fees for transactions, interest, vendor platforms, subscriptions, and more. Start thinking about where your money goes, how and where it's getting captured and removed from our class, and where you have the ability to cut off the flow and pass cash directly to your fellow working class people
Joyeux Anniversaire Robespierre ! I present on this occasion...
A preview of the sequel to my Vampire Robespierre Comic l'Archange et le Diable !
I am exhibiting at Shortbox Comics fair this year and the comic will be available online for purchase.
The comic is entirely standalone (it's a series of small moments just like the first one), you don't need to have read the first comic to understand it. That being said, if you weren't able to secure a physical copy, I am looking to make the first zine available for purchase online soon.
Happy birthday to the Mr. Incorruptible himself.

I finally didn't forget Maxims birthday this year so I was able to make something on his b-day. Thought this song was perfect for him since it's about a corrupt politician and Maxims literally known as THE INCORRUPTIBLE but the Thermidor propaganda did such irreparable damage to his image that it's fitting to put him into an animatic with such an oxymoron of a song. (the name itself being also a sort of oxymoron)

Joe Strummer and Johnny Rotten at Dragonara Hotel, Neville Street, Leeds during the days of the Anarchy Tour in 1976, as documented by Ray Stevenson.
JOE STRUMMER: “We’re the Clash, man. And we’re gonna be bigger than the Sex Pistols!”
(Melody Maker)
CARY DARLING: “Joe Strummer has said …” JOHN LYDON: (boos and hissing noises) CARY DARLING: “… that he too is giving up ethnic music and going back to punk rock, which he feels is white man’s rebel music.” JOHN LYDON: “Oh yawn! Let’s face it, Joe’s lost, isn’t he? Go back, that’s always been his thing, you know. All their records reek of going back. Go forward, Joe, there’s a whole world out there! There’s nothing great about that at all, backward thinking - boo, that’s for losers.” (BAM magazine, 1984) JUDY MCGUIRE: “What did you think of Sex Pistols reunion?“ JOE STRUMMER: “I was for it, because I’m a Glenn Matlock fan. Remember nine-tenths of their career was with Glenn Matlock, and hey, he wrote the tune to “Anarchy in the UK”. You gotta have a tune, you can’t just shout gibberish…” (Punk Magazine) JOHN LYDON: “…Joe Strummer came from, like, wealthy parents. So don’t be playing my working class roots on me like that. I truly do come from that. And it bugs me when they’re trying to use that as some kind of edge to their career. And it became appalling with Joe. And God bless him, he’s dead, and I never speak ill of the dead. But to be running around screaming ‘class war’ and ‘kill the rich,’ while living in one of the wealthiest areas of London, struck me as a little odd. You know, and bragging about taking the bus home. Well, ‘that’s fine, Joe, but the eight million pounds mansion you live in. (laughs) You know, get a cab…” (Coldmine Magazine)
One can almost picture them as two cranky old geezers dissing each other in the same retirement home.

It’s just…Freddie never knew that Brian was going to dedicate a gentle love song (which he wrote) to him for the rest of his life. He never knew Brian would go out alone on stage, the year after he died, and choose to sing “Love of My Life” as a tribute to him despite desperately wanting to flee from Queen out of grief. He never knew Brian would shed tears on stage in front of a huge crowd after singing that song, or that it would be 30 years later and he’d still want to be the one to sing the song in every single concert no matter how their set-lists changed.
Freddie never knew.
