Amid all the heavy, how about something light and refreshing? No, I’m not feeling 7up, but I did have a couple of art shows in Japan and consumed a lot of fish (the latter which you will not read about at all… just trying to tie up the title with a neat and tidy bow):

The full release this weekend includes a hypothetical “What if… ?” sliding door through time and space where @donpendleton.bsky.social was hired by Steve Rocco in 1992. Crazy? Not so much. Buy the ticket (deck) and take the dimensional ride (zine) this Saturday on StrangeLoveSkateboards.com.

Keeping it all in context, this is the follow up ad for StrangeLove that ran in Thrasher. There was one step between this and the other, but I’m simply going one step beyond to avoid any unnecessary confusion. Still confused? Welcome to strangeloveskateboards.com where puzzlement is job one.

Remember the early 90s in skateboarding? We certainly do and knew how much it meant to crack open the new issue of Thrasher and TransWorld to see the latest happenings in skateboarding. Social media has robbed us all of such anticipatory joys. Anyway, here’s a recent print ad or ours in social form:

Look. It’s been pretty heavy lately with ignorance and dumb red-lining in severity. (Anyone else remember the old color-coded HSAS? Ah, sweet innocence…) So, come along and enjoy this tale of seafaring stupidity from a kinder, gentler, and simpler time of life in the US of A, circa 1991.

Before diving into this anything but Ernest Hemingway-like tale, I should warn you, the reader, that this post addresses the hot topic of ignorance. I know, bear with me, we've all been put through th...

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.

Or should it be apocalypi? Sounds grammatically goofy, but so do octopi, cacti, and radii when rendered in the plural form. Nothing to get hung up on at this point, though, as this is all very much af...
