come for the journalism, stay for the Kool Keith 🔊

it’d be sick to open up a periodicals/magazine store in Sacramento that does dank events 🤔 please send me a million dollars to make this happen

I did a thing to commemorate the closure of Antisocial's Main Street store that they've been in for 15 years last week I miss this place already. It was a sacred place jam packed full of a palpable community love. I miss them already (even if they're looking to open up nearby real soon)

The people who built this skatepark also built one in Guantanamo Bay and I can’t stop thinking about it

remembering now in high school choir singing a duet of “don’t worry baby” as part of our big end of the year full costumes Pop Show. rest in peace Brian Wilson. California / the world would sound entirely different without The Beach Boys.

Finally watched “If this ever gets weird” documentary, highly recommend for any at the drive-in / de facto / Mars Volta fans; the archival footage alone is worth a watch. youtu.be/Tzcz_U1KlcQ?...

Of course the LA Times makes it look like a full on riot instead of showing that the mostly peaceful protesters were literally and constantly assaulted by ICE agents. The majority of fires that were started weren’t by the public but by ICE firing into the crowds and canisters starting fires. 🧵
