I added a water bottle pocket to my pants!

This came up due to the fact I use Lyft bikes to get around and they don't have bottle holders, so I placed this pocket here because this part of my leg remains relatively upright while pedaling.

Heres the initial proof of concept

But it looked rather silly especially when not in use. It also flopped around a lot when a full drink is being held and I was walking around so I started to look into ways to collapse it and secure it when in use.

First attempt came up with this:

Which looks nice, but wouldn't help restrain the movement of the pocket with a bottle in it.

So I moved to this belt design, using straps I had designed for the pants in an earlier iteration.

And it works like a charm.

Holds the bottle in place, is easy to fold away, and looks nice in use.

Though not sure I like the red and might switch to black straps but I'd love to hear all your thoughts and possible improvements!

Upcycling is punk!

Quit shaming people for having messy painted patches, that's not cool and the point of punk is working with what you have. I have very fucked up brushes and a small amount of paint most of the time so I can't pound it on there. I have no printers I can use and blades are extremely triggering for me. Is it readable? Yes? Then it's fine. I'm doing what I can, shaming me won't do shit. Plus, you're discouraging new punks from doing what they can with what they have and forcing them to buy from potentially horrible places. I don't have the best paint, I don't have the best brushes, I don't have the best fabric, fuck I don't have the best surfaces to paint on but I'm doing what I can. If you're shaming the people unable to afford certain things, that's not very punk of you.

are you worried about being perceived as a poser in your local punk scene? My biggest tip is to not shove yourself into the little box of what you think a punk should be. The culture of punk should be diverse, that’s what makes it beautiful. You want to go to a show wearing all pink and cute dresses? fucking go for it!!! rock it! if anyone says anything to you about “not being punk enough” they are full of bullshit and are definitely projecting their insecurities onto you.

R.I.P. Steve Albini.

He provided the philosophical basis and ethos I have carried on well into adulthood.

He proved that you can get older be half an edgelord and still grow as a person.

We lost a real one and some who enabled and created a lot of great tunes.

Rest easy you put in a good shift on earth.
