Holy shit, YES. FUcking preach! This is punk gospel! You absolutely nailed it, like completely hit the fucking nail on the head with this one. That’s exactly the kind of thing that’s always made me feel more drawn to British punk too. I wanna print this out, slam it on the wall of every alt club that says "READ THIS, YOU FAKE-EDGY BASTARDS" There’s just something raw and communal about it and it’s not just one person screaming "fuck you" into a void, it’s a whole crowd yellin’ "fuck the system" together. It feels less like angry teen tantrums and more like righteous rage mixed with real solidarity. Like, we know the system’s fucked, and instead of turning inward and blaming our parents, we turn that fire outward and try to lift each other up in the shitstorm. That’s fucking powerful. class difference hits HARD. America’s got this weird delusion where everyone thinks they’re one lottery ticket away from being a billionaire, and no one wants to admit how deeply the system’s got them by the balls. You're absolutely right. it’s not always this rebellious "burn the past" thing like it sometimes is in US punk. Over here it can be like, "Yeah, your dad had a Mohican in the 80s and your mum still has her Siouxsie records on vinyl" and that’s cool as fuck, not cringe. That kind of intergenerational alt connection is something I love, and it’s got way more warmth to it than a constant rejection of anything remotely traditional.

like damn, finally someone said it. American punks act like having a supportive family disqualifies you from being alt. My mum’s blasting Joy Division in the kitchen and my dad used to spike his hair and wear tartan bondage trousers and that’s considered cool as hell. We don’t disown our roots, we fucking grow from them. That’s the beauty of it.

Also I love the dress code thing. Yes yes YES. I love that about British punk shows. You can turn up in whatever the fuck you want! Crocs, cargo pants, a fucking trackie or full goth drip, no one cares. The way American punks lose their minds if someone rolls up to a gig in Crocs or a hoodie like it’s a fucking Met Gala is embarrassing. British punk isn’t about a uniform, it’s about the fuckin’ mindset. If you’re there for the music, for the energy, for the fight, then welcome the fuck in. don’t be a knobhead. If you’re not starting shit, you’re welcome. Simple as. That "don’t start shit you won’t get shit" vibe should honestly be the punk scene’s mission statement over here. The fact that people will defend each other on a dime is the real spirit of punk. looking out for your fellow misfit, not playing style police like it’s a high school clique. The girl in the bar actually got me a bit emotional. so pure and beautiful. She deserves a patch, a pint and probably her own band. Fuck yeah to her for backing you and your bf like that. That’s the kind of support that sticks with you for life. Her trans son’s lucky as hell to have a mum like her. you’re probably right about the social class thing too. Working class culture in Britain and America are like two entirely different beasts. Over here, class awareness runs DEEP, and it’s baked into the music, the attitude, the fuck-the-Tories mentality. In the States, it often feels like people are almost gaslit into thinking class doesn’t exist or that they’re temporarily embarrassed millionaires or some shit. So the punk reaction ends up being more about personal family rebellion than structural criticism. That whole bootstraps delusion just messes with people. Aww don’t apologise for the long reply! I love long replies! are you kidding?? This is the best shit to yap about! You’re passionate, you’re observant, and you explain stuff in a way that actually makes sense. It’s fucking refreshing. I’d take a long yap like a mf from you over five minutes of empty bullshit from someone who doesn’t get it.

the differences between american and british punk is always so interesting to me. despite the similarities and the way theyve influenced one another theyre completely different beasts

That’s actually such a great observation?? Like, YEA British and American punk totally grew up together but turned into completely different wild animals. UK punk has that gritty, working-class rage with a dash of "we’ve survived Thatcher" trauma, while American punk often feels more suburban rebellion like "my parents don’t understand me and Hot Topic ran out of my size" 😂 Iget what you mean about not relating to it fully. Some of those American punk scenes feel way more performative than expressive like there’s pressure to look the part instead of just being it. I love that you and your man can rock up to a gig in cargo pants and crocs and no one bats an eye that’s punk as hell tbh. Comfort is rebellion tOO! Maybe your shows just attract more chill, real people? Either way, I think that diversity in scene culture is fascinating and worth holding onto. You deserve a scene that lets you breathe and scream and be you with no judgement.

Here's the song that reminds me of this :3

[jayanwar2000]

WHY does that sound like something you’d find in a theology textbook written by Gen Z?

“In the beginning, the Lord said, ‘Let there be nuggets,’ and lo, the Protestant ones were shaped like dinosaurs and came with spicy ketchup, while the Catholic ones were perfectly round and dipped only in the sacred ranch.”

Your subconscious is out here writing deep-fried religious satire in your sleep. that dream belongs in a museum and on a Tumblr post with 45k notes. I just know the Protestant dino nugs are crunchy and come in weird off-brand boxes while the Catholic ones are probably solemnly arranged on a porcelain plate and eaten with reverence. DinoNugDoctrine at its finest blessed and breaded. This is the start of nugget reformation. In chicken we trust.

last night I had a dream that someone made a meme about dinosaur nuggets being protestant and regular chicken nuggets being catholic.

I just wanted to give you a few more options in case your brain’s on Sunday autopilot and you want some plug-and-play meals.you’re absolutely killing it. It takes a lot of energy to handle cooking, work, and everything else, but I admire how much care you put into it. That’s love right there. For yourself, for your body, for your mind. You’ve got this 💛

so i like to cook a big meal in the electric skillet or the oven on Sundays, such that I have a bunch of prepared lunches for the "work" week so I can just grab a container in the morning and have a nice home-cooked meal with a good balance of carbs and veg to eat for lunch while I'm in clinic full-time

but. looking up recipes every week and trying to keep it exciting takes a lot of my brain power. I have a few go-to recipes I can rotate through but want to collect more easy meal ideas for da future.

tldr: if you have a straightforward recipe you like and it can be made in big batches (and could be made meatless / use meat substitutions), please send it for my perusal

list of things I have made and enjoyed previously if you need context of my meal preferences OR if you also want recipes. I don't have my own stuff easily written down to share, but I will add links for recipes I got online

Go-to recipes which are rooted in my brain:

"Dirty" rice and beans (it's just rice, beans, garlic, diced peppers and onions, diced tomatoes with chilies, optional ground beef / plant-based substitute, and a lot of Cajun seasoning. thyme and green onion are nice in there too if I'm not feeling too lazy) -- makes around 8-10 servings

Macaroni and cheese (I use crushed Lay's chips on top instead of bread crumbs for the crunch. crunch doesn't stay very well when reheating in microwave, but works nicely if you have time and access to oven/toaster oven for reheating) -- makes about 8 servings -- add broccoli or green beans or smth on the side for veg

"Taco beef and pasta" -- old recipe my mom used to make in college. originally called for steak strips to be coated in taco seasoning, but works well if you just cook a veg ground substitute in the taco seasoning. also needs garlic, black beans, rotini, 1 jar of chunky salsa, and I think that's it. top with cheese if you want. -- makes about 6-8 servings, may want to add some kind of veg

Chili or goulash (very similar recipes that I don't remember offhand but have a photo of somewhere I think. been a while. basically a lot of various canned tomato goods, lots of beans (moreso if chili than goulash), pasta if goulash, veg ground substitute, chopped peppers and onions, chili powder, garlic probably) -- makes ?? servings (usually just store in pot in fridge rather than pre-portioning), 8-12 maybe? either are great with garlic bread. chili over mashed potatoes and scooped with tortilla chips is also delicious and very comforting but VERY dense and carb-heavy, so be wary of food coma

Fettuccine with zucchini strips (make similar in shape to the pasta), roasted red pepper strips, and pesto. that's it. sometimes I add a fake meat. makes about 6 servings, maybe 8 servings if I use 2 zucchini instead of 1. also lovely with garlic bread.

Other recipes I've done recently:

Pan-fried tofu, with stir fried carrots, broccoli, and cucumber, all served over jasmine rice. top each serving with half of an avocado, sliced, and everything bagel seasoning. tofu recipe

Veggie pasta skillet. basically broccoli and carrots again but this time with farfalle and crushed tomatoes to form a sauce. also toss in spinach at the end. can top with parm and serve with garlic bread. wasn't bad, but the flavor was a little lacking to me. recipe (I think it was this, I just took out the mushrooms)

Mexican potato skillet - use brand name cubed potatoes if you aren't going to cut your own; I've found with multiple stores that the generic hashbrown cubes turn to mush in the pan way too easily. maybe using corn starch or potato starch would help this, idk. made a nice bean dip though and just ate it that way. recipe

Feels like there's another one I did but I cannot remember for the life of me what

It's my 2 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

[jayanwar2000]

What do you recommend we get to drink for next round? Taking suggestions. You name it, we'll drink it (me and my fiance). Same goes for food whatever you recommend we will eat it

Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear dealing with that! Art block can be such a sneaky and frustrating thing, and having it paired with pressure from academics just makes everything worse. I know you will bounce back soon though. You are incredibly talented, and even if it is tough right now, that creative spark is still in you. Take your time to recover and recharge. It will come back around.

no art this weekend i got mugged and murdered by someone called art block
