#happy bday hayls

We’ve been around for almost 20 years, and I’ve had my fill of letting older people, especially older men, tell me what punk rock is and tell me what punk rock is not. Just today, there was a crusty old fuck on the Internet saying that punk was supposed to be anti-establishment, right? Well it is, and actually, I can think of nothing more anti-establishment than young women, than people of color, and the queer community. So what I want to say to you, if you are one of those people in those subsets, there is space for you here now. Did you hear me? There’s space for you now. We love you and we love being a part of this scene. And we’re gonna keep doing whatever we can do alongside our friends and our peers in the scene to make it feel safe for every single one of you out there, because it does not feel good to feel unwelcome. It does not feel good to be talked down to. So if you’re here tonight, thank you. Thanks for watching us.

“It’s a very different kind of thankfulness than I’ve felt in the past, and I think it’s taken a lot of gardening in my heart, a lot of digging up so much soil and finding old roots that were in the way of other things blooming.”

I’m alive to both pain and joy now. I have my old laugh back, as my mom says. The one that takes over my body and sends me out of myself for a few seconds. And only a couple years ago, I had hoped I’d die.
