OUTPUT over OUTCOME. We all care what ppl think of our hard work. But at the end of the day, what's important is that you DID the work. You're someone who has done it. Who will you become next? And in the meanwhile... what've THEY done lately?

You start a conversation you can't even finish 🧐
You're talking a lot 👀
But you're not saying anything 😧
When I have nothing to say? My lips are sealed 🙂↕️
Say something once, why say it again? 🤷♀️

When your face is a product... A mask isn't hiding, it's autonomy. It's deciding who gets to access your likeness.

Glimpse the mind of a ska hobbyist n you'll discover a reslience you didn't think possible. Imagine loving a genre & when you tell people, half of them laugh before you even show them your take on it, and the other half laugh once they've heard it bc it's not ska enough #skapunk

Is 90s Music Nostalgia Holding Us Back? A "greatest hit" from the archives. Nostalgia is a dead end. The future is an open road. If the music you want to hear doesn't exist yet... create it. Save this for when you need a reminder to invent the future

I'm the spiritual reincarnation of a 1950s rookie screenwriter who had the nerve to suggest "but what if he was a rebel... WITH a cause?" and got laughed out of the writers' room and then informally blacklisted by the influence of the US federal government before dying penniless

Music w/ HEART? It's more likely than you'd think! Maybe not on the radio, but we're all living through this together, musicians included. If you know where to look you'll find a new fav band for every day of the week & more on the weekends

The real test: would you trust the crowd, or your own eyes? Nonconformity isn't punk. Discernment is. Save this reminder.

Why Music Gatekeeping is a Waste of Time! Life's too short to argue on the internet about what's "real ska." Reposting this as a reminder to spend less time arguing and more time discovering. Tag a new, cool band that deserves more listeners.

People ask where my best ideas come from. The truth is, they just appear in this book and I'm compelled to post them by an unseen force. Neither part of the equation can be stopped... Trust me, I've tried.
