The step stool in the woods Sorry @chuckwendig.bsky.social

My best craft advice is "Put a giant worm in it." You can never go wrong with a giant worm. Sci-fi: Giant worm on an alien planet Fantasy: Giant worm in mountain sitting on a pile of gold Horror: Giant worm (eats people) Romance: Giant worm causes third-act breakup Mystery: Giant worm investigates

So it was a blitz attack? On a ballroom??

I love being such a train wreck of a band that AI can’t replace us: guitarist mic cuts out, drummer replaces lyrics with “I forgot the fucking words,” I forget this started as a surf band and use my growl voice

This is absolute bullshit

The first two legs of the speaking tour featuring participants in the resistance to ICE in the Twin Cities were a smashing success, addressing many hundreds of people throughout the Midwest and East Coast. The West Coast tour begins Saturday! The details are here: crimethinc.com/breakicetour

the country is too big, there are too many of us, no one person should be at the top of this pyramid we have tested the guardrails around this gig pretty thoroughly and it turns out a hell of a lot of them don't hold if you are simply a violent, amoral demo unrestrained by norms or empathy

I mean we’ve all suddenly come to in a Waffle House at some point in our lives but I for one have never blamed a blackout on the hand of god

'wait when did chuck tingle get political?'

given the modern conservative fascination with Sparta it's at least a little funny that they've engineered a situation in which Persia is able to level a dramatically uneven battlefield by forcing the conflict into a narrow pathway

I cannot express how much I adore this record. It rekindled my love of hardcore and felt like a kid hearing it for the first time

Judging by my headache, adding a slushy machine to our RPG night was a huge mistake that I absolutely do not regret

first they came for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, and I said nothing, but i did laugh quite a lot

Okay, in all seriousness, is there a grocery store in PDX that isn’t owned by scum bags?

Had a bunch of people ask if we were going to a t-shirt version of this and here it is

Huge thanks to @sheboptheshop.bsky.social for giving us some raffle prizes and sponsoring the Volume Bomb valentines party. It was an absolute blast

Valentines we whipped up for a party/show a few years back, love and adore my bandmates
