Fists of Love
Remembering Steve Albini in Muncie, Indiana
cosmicchambo.substack.com
I've been thinking about Albini a lot lately; I suppose I'll always wonder what he'd have to say about bullshit times. A stranger's post told me the Rainbo Rink show was 30 years ago, so sharing this in case a stranger could use a reminder of their own space for friends, music, + kindness. 💛

🖤 so grateful for the reality of impermanence 🖤
Deny impermanence and reject the camaraderie that arises from the inevitability of suffering. Deny connection and neutralize the compassion that eases suffering.
Everything is connected: nothing lasts: you are not alone. There is not an app for this.

The latest iteration of this doomed cycle is... a product that shows us what it would be like if you could pull up an avatar of a dead loved one on your phone whenever you wanted to and "talk" with them. www.welcometohellworld.com/for-all-thei...

🚨 NECESSARY WHOLESOME ALERT 🚨
We decided to watch “School of Rock” last night because it has “Minecraft Steve in it” (I know…It is what it is) and I decided to google a bit and, yall, the little singer girl just got married to the big security guard boy /in real life/. She’s a OBGYN sonographer and he’s a music industry lawyer.

P.E. radicalized me at 15 & shaped my entire life. I was 51 & a couple of months into finally kicking booze when I joined this site; the very first post I saw was Flav encouraging kindness in ugly times + asking folks to support their sober friends & I SOBBED. I love him. such generous honesty ❤️🩹
I remain authentic to who I am and a large part of the past 4.5 years for me has been my sobriety journey. I think I’ve been an inspiration to many that if I could get sober, anyone can do it...
But just when you think it’s easy,,, it ain’t…

I’m an atheist. I don’t believe in divine intervention—but I do believe in quantum entanglement: the idea that particles, once connected, affect each other no matter the distance. A thread about a pantry, a prayer, and connection.🧵 #MomSky

I wrote a book about bureaucratic violence and if there’s one thing I wish everyone knew right now, it would be:
The people most harmed can’t tell what’s happening or why. Their lives unravel and, more often than not, they are taught to blame themselves—or other victims.

For me, fighting fascism has nothing to do with thinking I’ll win. I don’t fight because there’s an inevitable outcome, I fight because I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t do something.
