A while back, I read The Sound of Silence by @przeuszczski—in which Klavier Gavin and Simon Blackquill start a metal band together post-AA6—and it’s still living in my head rent-free…

I’m pretty selective about metal, but this song became an instant favorite because of the idea of Simon writing it about UR-1. The imagery of him revealing his face to the crowd at the ending refrain was so powerful.

Day 30: "A day to remember"

 

After signing the permit, I've decided to go to Robinson Place Pangasinan, located at Calasiao, and my boyfriend is waiting for me. We eat at Jollibee and eat favorite chicken joy. We played basketball and enjoyed claw machines because we got our little toy. After that, we try KTV and sing together. We were only together for a short time, but it was an enjoyable and amazing experience for us.

Just a silly lil guy

I’m just a trans-masc guy that had a Tumblr in highschool and recently came back! (It’s my Time Capsule and I refuse to remove anything previously written, digital footprint be damned)

I will most likely not do anything other than reblog things on this account, I save my material for shitty twitter posts that get 1-2 likes (at best!)

If I followed you, I’m willing to bet it’s because you followed my secret lil porn blog and I don’t have them separate so your notifications will show this blog instead lol feel free to guess which blog if you want!

Other than that…I’m a dumb lil dude, I’m twenty-five, I’m a Leftist (not just in an American way, like a real way), I’m running around America’s PNW doing increasingly dumb things, I love House MD and could very well write essays about it, I think I’m funny, and god most likely doesn’t exist but if he does I am currently going through trials only known by Job. MDNI, p3dos should d!e, misogynistic racist ableist and most other bigotry-ists are definitely not welcome.

no matter how emo I get I'll never make fun of an emo bands flop era. it was the 2010s and everyone was doing it. this does not include panic though because everything after ryan ross left should be considered a crime

Write a story where the president of the US is Jeremy Mckinnon of the band A Day to Remember and his main goal as president is to get people stuck in their hometown out of their hometown/homecounty

Jeremy McKinnon, frontman of the legendary band A Day to Remember, had never thought he’d be standing in the Oval Office. As a young man, his dreams were filled with crowds of screaming fans and sold-out arenas, but now, at the age of 39, he stood in the most powerful office in the world, preparing to reshape the future of the country in a way that only he could.

McKinnon wasn’t your typical politician. He wasn’t smooth or polished, he wasn’t a career politician, and he certainly didn’t fit the mold. He was raw, real, and driven by the same principles that had fueled his band’s rise to fame—an intense desire to give people an escape, to help them break free from their limitations. And that was exactly what he intended to do with his presidency.

Since winning the election on a wave of grassroots support, McKinnon had made one thing clear: he was going to help people get out of their hometowns. Not because their towns were bad, but because he believed that everyone deserved the chance to explore the world beyond what they knew.

It all started with his inaugural speech. McKinnon stood before the nation, a sharp contrast to the traditional political figures who had spoken from that very podium. His guitar pick was tucked in the pocket of his suit jacket, and his voice carried the same energy he had once poured into his music.

“Folks, we all know what it feels like to be stuck. Stuck in a place that feels safe but suffocating. I’ve been there,” McKinnon said, his voice gritty yet sincere. “I grew up in a small town, and I remember feeling like the world was this giant mystery. It wasn’t until I left, until I took a chance, that I realized what I was missing. And that’s what I want for every person in this country—to break free from the chains of familiarity and see the world. I want every single one of you to know there’s more out there. This is your moment to escape. I’m going to make it happen.”

The idea was simple: McKinnon would push a national initiative to provide financial incentives, resources, and support to help people move out of their hometowns. Not just to another city in their state, but anywhere. Whether they wanted to pursue higher education, find work in a new industry, or just experience life outside the bubble they’d grown up in, McKinnon was committed to making it easier.

The first step was the "Freedom Fund," a government-backed program that would provide loans, grants, and tax incentives to individuals who moved to another state or county for a job, education, or volunteer work. The idea was to reduce the financial burden of moving—something that often held people back, especially from small towns where opportunities were limited.

But McKinnon wasn’t just pushing policies. He was using his platform to spread the message. His speeches felt like live shows, full of raw passion and energy. He didn’t just talk about statistics and policies; he shared stories of how he’d left home with nothing but a dream. He spoke of the uncertainty and fear, but also the exhilaration of discovering a world beyond what he’d known.

Weeks into his presidency, the media began to take notice of McKinnon’s unconventional approach. A particularly popular segment on a late-night talk show asked him why he was so fixated on people leaving their hometowns. McKinnon’s answer was simple:

“When you stay in one place your whole life, you’re not really living. You’re just existing. The world is full of incredible experiences, people, and opportunities. Staying in one place for too long, you get comfortable. And comfort is the enemy of growth.”

His words resonated. People started to see McKinnon not as a politician but as a guy who understood what it meant to feel trapped and wanted to do something about it. Soon, stories of young adults packing their bags, moving across the country, and starting fresh began popping up in the media. His message was gaining traction.

At the heart of McKinnon’s plan was the idea of mentorship. He knew that simply giving people the chance to leave their hometowns wasn’t enough. Moving to a new place could be overwhelming, so he initiated a mentorship program where those who had successfully relocated would guide newcomers, helping them adjust to their new lives and communities.

This program, dubbed Breakthrough, became a nationwide success. Cities and towns across the country saw an influx of young people eager to experience something new, from urban centers like New York and Los Angeles to more hidden gems like Asheville, North Carolina, and Portland, Maine. The ripple effect was undeniable. As people left, they returned home with new skills, fresh perspectives, and the ability to help their hometowns grow and innovate.

As McKinnon’s presidency progressed, it became clear that his message had struck a chord. Towns that had once been mired in stagnation began to see a change. Local businesses flourished as young people with new ideas returned. Families reunited in new ways, bringing back experiences and knowledge that had once seemed out of reach. McKinnon was right: breaking free didn’t mean abandoning home—it meant giving everyone the tools to shape it.

On his second-to-last day in office, McKinnon stood before a crowd in Washington, D.C., reflecting on the journey. His speech, though brief, captured everything he had worked for.

“Five years ago, I told you that you deserve more than what you’ve been given. I told you to leave, to take risks, to see the world. I hope you did. I hope you came back changed, because that’s how we make things better—not just for ourselves, but for everyone around us. The chains are gone. Now it’s your turn.”

The crowd erupted in applause, and as McKinnon made his way off the stage, he felt that familiar rush—just like the one from his days on tour. He had done it. He had given people a chance to leave, to grow, and to return home not as they were, but as something more.

In the end, it wasn’t about escaping the past—it was about creating a future where anyone, from any town, could become anything they dreamed. And that was Jeremy McKinnon’s legacy.

A day in my life as a Midwifery Student studying at University of Eastern Pangasinan, my life typically starts with a morning routine, including waking up, having breakfast, and getting ready with me. And today my daytime is focused only on school, with breaks for meals and personal tasks. In the afternoon, I continue my responsibilities, tasks, or maybe running errands and especially, Me and My classmates discussed on how we're going to plan our short film in Carlos Bulosan. As evening arrives, this is the time that I'll unwind with my hobbies, or spending time with loved ones. Finally, my night involves relaxing and preparing for the next day before heading to bed.
