“...I'm kind of buzzed. I'm kind of buzzing. I'm kind of a hive with no begging and hollow cavities.”

Being on tour for the last year has been amazing. We have a handful of shows left after a week in Japan. I've met tons of fans, and some have seen us over 20 times including old club gigs. That makes me feel all kinds of things - all good, but like whoa. US? We were ready to never tour again, settle into family and retirement, and now I know why we are still here. I'm humbled.
So hi, how are you? I'm looking forward to catching up at some point.
Sending my love from the other side of the apocalypse. @tinseltownstarter

i wish more people understood the concept of activism burnout and compassion fatigue. you do like genuinely have to pick your battles, and that usually means something local that you can make a real difference with. if you get overwhelmed with every problem nothing is going to change.

Donating to Ao3 is like paying for Netflix; it's just paying for an entertainment service you use. Servers are fucking expensive, and Ao3 is a really big archive. Just throw five bucks at them once a year if you can, it's really not a big deal.
Also please do NOT donate to all the Palestine go-fund-me's floating around here, the majority of them are just blatant scams. I've had one of those blogs send me two completely different sob stories a few days apart, and also had two different blogs send me the exact same sob story, right down to the fucking emoji usage. If you want to help Palestinians, donate to the Red Cross, or Doctors Without Borders. Or any organized, professional relief group that is actively working in Palestine right now, because they can actually access that money easily and use it to buy large amounts of food and medical supplies at a steep discount. Donating to THEM will do a hell of a lot more than sending a random Palestinian civilian five american dollars over the internet.
Should I donate to AO3?
