the only gatekeeping in riot grrrl/ ghoul culture should be to:
1. be anti-racist, anti-homophobic, anti-transphobic, anti-ableist, anti-sexist (pretty much just don’t be a bigot) [notice how i said anti instead of not, it’s because you should be supporting those communities as well]
2. support female punk bands
we should be encouraging people to listen to what these bands have to say not pushing them away because of some arbitrary reason. (for example they like pop music or don’t fit into your idea of what a riot grrrl/ghoul should be)
would be a shame if anyone found out about this...
The amazon customer service chat is completely automated, and if you tell it that you didn’t receive a package and ask for a refund it will send the payment back to your account, no questions asked, even if there’s a picture of it on your doorstep. No human ever verifies those interactions and you could theoretically do this many times without being caught
just finished my new jacket design! white dots are studs, white lines are safety pins and the colourful dots are badges. the only patches i’ve mapped out are the ones i already own, so there will be more.
an alternative to painting on jeans: embroider your own patches!! If you’re doing a cool ass jacket it’s even more personal if you made the things on it :)
reminder if u can’t afford fancy patches just cut up an old pair of jeans and shittily paint them punk fashion is meant to look rough and homemade that’s the point
don't have a folder, only loose pages with many disorganized notes
messy handwriting only you can understand (and sometimes not even that)
write with any pen except blue and black (your teachers hate you)
draw and scribble in the margin of the paper (again, your teachers hate you)
open the first free page in your notebook and start writing there (turn the page and realize that you have already started another topic and you are writing with the notebook upside down)
you have a favorite pen, all the time you are about to lose it and all the time you find it when hope is lost
if you even have a pencil case, have random things inside like a lighter, a cutter, a clip, notes that you kept for being sentimental, coins, 5 erasers (and you thought you didn't have any), old gum or candy all the trash from the pencil sharpener
write poems about rebellion, headaches, how hungry you are, and the failures of the educational system on your bank
tea in recess is always too sweet and you drink as much as the lady allows
cigarette break in the bathroom (how do i never get caught on this is beyond my understanding)
