hopping trains is so cool and good like...a little bit of patience and respect, a little willingness to break the rules & good sense enough to do so safely and be quiet when it counts, and you can just fuckin GO anywhere for free? it's like a really long mostly-flat rollercoaster. it's like being a flea on the back of a dragon. you ride a great loud mechanical beast that has been a tool of genocide and capitalist cruelty since its invention and you parasitize it for your own ends and in doing so you join a lineage of poor people taking agency over their lives dating back over a century. the brake dust I saw sparkling in the air has seeped into my pores and made me a new person.
#greenhorn shit tbh I'm very much like an annoying recently-returned exchange student about this rn#but like. im gonna do this again & hopefully get to where I can show other people cause its SO COOL#latfo#queer and especially trans freight riders are some of the coolest people I've met and I can't wait to do more of this#there is just like. so much rich history and philosophy and social science to dig into about this too#there's not much Content about it here and I'm lowkey reluctant to post pics#but I caught the fuckin bug I cannot shut up about trains now

Crust Punk Scene
Thinking back to my days as a crust punk
It was cans everyday before I smoked skunk
Looking back can’t imagine what she thought, mum
I smoked, screamed, pierced myself and battered drums
All my mates over all the time doing what they couldn’t
At home, always people explored shadows they normally wouldn’t
Around me, in this sense I am satan’s sudden student
Said don’t need no education but I’m not the type to bunk
In Ireland we call it mitching, tell you true I never played truant
That game I never played through it, I did do it though
Leaving school, true to my word there, they’re all fools
Drooling on desks, whole thing an out of control April Fool
I rue a man to put a rule on me, do one man, judge ruling on me
Midway through fifth year I elected to leave, selected my reprieve and none could refuse me
I worked in my dad’s while my mates went to school, few quid for the pocket, mostly for booze
The rest I spent on looking punk as fuck, bulletbelts getting delivered bulk
I had more anger in me, and more rips in my clothes, than incredible Hulk
Carry No Banners from Galway became Cut The Reins, went Galway a lot
Lovely spot but cut the rains
At the Spanish Arch drinking cans all day
They call this place ambition’s grave
Nightlife to rave about, suddenly you’re fifty and never got out
Use the old sessioners as a lesson on what not to be, less than pensioners but close
These licentionnaires with greying hair at college parties plying wares
Only kiss they get result of double dares.
Spent plenty hard cash perfecting my look
Moon in Leo outlook, out with the old room for my new look
Never out unless looking good, flooded with looks my bulk
Onlookers audibly say fuckkkkkkk, like The Wire’s Bunk
I only cared about being the punkest punk, no giving fucks
More binfrequenting than local fox
Some shouldn’thavesent in sentbox.
Everyday in full costume like an habitual monk
The way you do when you’re young
I wrote punk’s dead in marker on my sleeveless parka shirt from army surplus
I had a navy nike hat with an immortal patch on, buckle had rust
Never saw it again when I left it on a Greyhound Galwaybound GoBus
Frayed with wearing, greyed with caring, grade unerring it was my A hat
I had studs and metal bits glued onto all my jackets
Nothing flair lacking
Nothing’s fair that age
Started using red dax wax to sculpt my hair into liberty spikes
Until my top tips signalled to the rising moon like IRA pikes
No rules except what to think, wear, listen to and how to act
Didn’t realise I was signing a pact, I’m listening to Filthpact
Crusties barely wash after enacting the No Showers Act of 10 years back
Their baggy clothes are filth packed
Like wallowing pigs they’re filth backed
At crust gigs no pints are sold
It’s bold but might get one water to pour in a six pack
Posh father daughters playing at homeless, LATFO lmao
Caught between a rock and NWOBHM, more piss smell than OTO
Bake sale
Pit hair like lichens sprouting my cut off Amebix merchandise
Dreads dirt-caked, Latvian army boots in bad shape, looking like piltdown man
They shout crust as fuck existence in can-strewn Cabra kitchens
They form bands called Nuclear Axe Wound or Mandatory Deexistence
No distance between bands, scene is small and incestuous
Every second punk kid here attended Wesley, half played rugby
Dad’s in the ministry like Weasleys, but they’re punx see
Purposely didn’t take their pocket money, funds beneath their dignity
Rather play for beers, be dirty and have nits, playing on the streets
Dirty knees kid calls himself a magpie, watches train hopping documentaries
A total crock those demo tracks you sent to me, 4 track ra-punk
Shit be the scent of me, all kak perfume, two birds and eighty blokes per show
Lops off locks and let grease wind dreadlocks, acquire shocking forehead stick and pokes
Squat the world, he jokes, his dad’s place is on millionaire’s row
Fucked up at the front of the show, milling elbows
Dreadlocks like a dingleberry lasso
Buckfast purple lips and unwashed teeth on show
Your uncle has a spare rolex, everything gold like butter
Your patch says train robber, another says cradle2gutter
You all absolutely deserve each other.
Hanging around the closest we have to train tracks
Pretending you’re leatherclad raiders outta Mad Max
Spent my inheritance on cans, family won’t see me again
Until I’m in dire need of a lend, I also attend Christmas and holidays
Driving mammy around the bend, arrived for Thanksgiving dressed like a Fallout raider
They have saved up but secluded my money until I grow up, few years finding myself
Finally settle into a position at Dad’s firm, dad’s firm on this decision, I’m binding myself
To his millions.
Yes me boys that’s me gone, striking out west goodbye Muirsin Durkin.

A song about addiction. Fucked up here n there but I'm not doing multiple takes anymore. Also, shoutout to my dear friend Dan who helped me with the lyrics to this early one morning.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lyrics:
I got a secret don't tell nobody nobody's got to know
I haven't been sleepin no I haven't can't remember the last night
and I don't know how it got this far how far it goes far it goes
we're goin to a party of course you're invited no you can't ever leave
we're gonna be dreamin gonna be singin til the mornin light come through the window
and I don't know how it got this far how far it goes far it goes
the world keeps spinnin here I'm sittin wonderin where to go
yesterday's over tomorrow may be sober for now I'm comin down
and I don't know how it got this far how far it goes far it goes
I've had a secret God, I wanna tell it somebody's got to know
I'm makin some changes do some rearrangin for some people I used to know
and now I know I've come this far got miles to go miles to go

You know whats worse than our internet being fucked with?
83% of American citizens and 3 of 4 Republicans--despite the FCC being Republican run--voted against this bill. It passed. And as if blatantly proving that we do NOT have ANY say in our "democracy" wasn't cause enough for a revolution (which is our constitutional right, not that they care), Ajit Pai the president of the FCC stooped to a despicable low by posting a video to the conservative site The Daily Caller openly mocking those of us who opposed it, with all the grace and professionalism of a 2 year old.
I'm a radical leftist and my usual fellow antifa are for some unfathomable reason not as enraged as I am. If we keep letting our freedoms get trashed, and now MOCKED, for fear of jail or not thinking we'll make a difference, we will have no rights left eventually. I don't know how to organize and rally and I'm anything but a leader, but i have to try. So this is a call to arms. If you wanna keep your rights, if you dont want to be treated like a pawn, a cog, lesser because of something as earth bound as corrupt politics, if your dignity as a human being matters to you at all, we gotta stir up some hell. I don't mean protest, i mean black bloc, take direct action against the machinery of oppression. If you are about to say some liberal ass shit this isnt for you, this is for antifa, for the diy punk community, for those of us who would throw a molotov into a cops face just to show that there will always be people like us, and every empire will fall. Rome wasn't burnt in a day but it couldn't have been more than a week. If you are willing to help give one good effort it cannot possibly be wasted, even if defeated fighting for your right can not possibly be a waste.
Find me on facebook, Aoelaigh Finn (i got 2, my active one currently has a prof pic of me tatting myself) or my page Aoelaigh Finn - Starving Artist. I can't be the only one, someone please help me rally
