A special thank you to the Barbaric writers and artists - I was stuck in an emergency room with my mother and then at her house this past weekend. Reading this comic literally saved me - a super fun and blood soaked ride. Congrats 🎊 guys, I’ll never be able to thank you enough #Comics #Comicsky

🏳️‍🌈It's pride month and I want to share a personal queer comic/project I started about two sommeliers who run a sentient cafe and make tea for lost souls. If you've seen my tea/plant demons over the years, this is me assembling that universe I'll post/RP sfw updates on main Thanks for being here❤️

Squid - Bright Green Field How did I miss this when it was released? New wave, post punk, and Krautrock influences. Moves from mood to mood seamlessly. In the running for top five #5debutalbums2026

Visible Damage by Self Improvement one of my favorites of 2022 - a frantic post punk debut. I love the sinister vibe of Jett’s vocals and the ominous sound of the entire record. #5debutalbums2026 #miserylovespunk

On the first anniversary of my father’s passing today I’ve been listening to this record. Upon hearing it the first time he shouted up the stairs “turn that the hell down.” Later on he stated “this isn’t too bad” must have been the beach boys element. RIP Dad, we miss you #punk #miserylovespunk

Now for some surf punk - the buzzsaw guitar on Living in Darkness helps you contemplate issues such as what the fuck did I do in another life to deserve this job and how does the woman who works at Subway get that perfect winged eyeliner on? #punk #miserylovespunk

Groundbreaking, a masterpiece recorded in just 2 weeks. Still absolute magic and turns my whole day around every time I hear it. Possibly my number one? Supa Dupa Fly #5DebutAlbums9599

For Friday, something a little ravish - Sextile - yes, please. I would call this punk-techno, featuring hamming bass,synths, and cowbell. Released in 2025, it was always in heavy rotation here in the kingdom of slack #punk #miserylovespunk

I feel like the most hated person on the planet today so I thought I’d listen to a record that both fans and critics hated when it came out The Shape of Punk to Come by Refused - hardcore with hints of jazz, metal, electronic. I always loved it 🖤 #punk #miserylovespunk

Another underrated classic Zoo Psychology by Brooklyn hardcore band Ex Models. This record brings me so much joy - hardcore, disco, noise-punk. Summary by a friend “riding the 6 train at 3 am on dust vibe.” #punk #miserylovespunk

I’m totally over it (both personally and professionally) so I’m just going to talk about some underrated punk records first up DC Hardcore band Gray Matter debut Food for Thought - coffee, cigarettes, isolation, sadness. Great cover of I Am The Walrus. #punk #miserylovespunk #bandcamp

In more music news, happy birthday to Whammy! Released on this day in 1983. Pure fun - “come here my little butterbean.” #B52s #Musicsky #NowPlaying

This album would be in my top five for the magnificent vocals alone. It also made my 10 year old heart leap with joy - hearing 2 women rock out in the male dominated rock radio space of the 70s was magnificent 🎸 #5debutalbums7579

36 minutes of pure joy on the commute today. Still revolutionary. My need for therapy has dissolved. #5debutalbums7579

Absolute perfection…. Who knew that bleakness could be so wonderful. #5debutalbums7579 #rockandrollhalloffame

We’re an hour in and I’m already in trouble…I had forgotten this, still as magnificent and innovative now as it was then #5debutalbums7579 The B-52s
