Punk isn't smashing guitars or sewing patches.

Punk is opening your house to the homeless. Punk is feeding striking miners. Punk is letting your lawn go to clover bc an unruly environment is a healthy one. Punk is learning ASL, Spanish, Arabic for your neighbour. Punk is violence towards the rich and powerful and power towards the poor and violent.

Punk never dies.

Don't let these upstart sellouts with Hollywood teeth that daddy paid for fool you.

Do you think cavemen ever got humiliated and had the kms urge? Like "Grug so embarrassed, Grug jump into tar pit" and then Glarg is like "Noooo everyone forget soon" and Grug is like "Grug going to do it for real"

the actual core reason why people will hand-wring and fearmonger over kink, and to a lesser extent body modification, and to a lesser extent than that extreme sports, then contact sports, etc. is because capitalism preserves the christian ideal of external ownership of the body (i.e. being "made in his image" and an extension of god) but offloads the divine onto labor and the production of capital, which is why you'll never see these people putting 1/100th the effort into spreading awareness about the fatality rates in logging, oil rigging, garbage collection, or any other inherently dangerous field. the sin isn't the destruction of one's own body, but instead the leisurely and "senseless" destruction of property and potential labor rightfully owned by capital. it's only self-destruction if you do it in your freetime. sorry i went off theme, boyhole girlspit dying bird motif etc

Eroticism is simply one of the basic modes of human expression and the fact that it terrifies people who have built their lives out of repression and self denial is only more reason to make erotic art. They will not stop with their own lives, they want to punish anyone who doesn’t conform to the same standards of cruelty they heap on themselves. But of course it will not work. It has never worked before. Even under the most adverse conditions beauty has always found ways of flourishing. We refuse to hide or live in shame and fear. We will make beautiful that which they find repulsive.
