i keep thinking abt the one lady misskay where she says “some of you girls say ‘support trans women’ as an abstract. i say it with names in mind, bitch”. because when shit is hitting the fan, it’s my friends and community who are getting scared and are under attack.

I love mine so much, it’s incredibly versatile too like it works for most sounds & genres

Even in 2025, reading small music blogs and discovering music through them remains important.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

Finished getting ready early this morning so I decided to be a good egg and leave early so I can have some quiet alone time with a book before work starts I boarded the bus, sat down, and the seat WAS SOAKING WET and now my pants and ass are WET ew ew ew bad bad

I'm going to keep repeating what smarter people than me have said - this work is ALREADY being done. You do not need to start from scratch. Find the people doing the work, and help them. Give them money, give them time, spread the word.

also if any of yall followed us from those starter packs with the intent of “checking us out later” this is your moment!!!

Happy 4th bday to ‘Clothbound’!!! Feels like it was only yesterday we started demoing songs Of the 12 we started, 10 made it to the finished album Everyone say happy bday! 📸: @scumner.bsky.social

🚫 #BoycottTarget

a sign of a healthy and functioning democracy is that i'm getting emails from my kids' schools assuring me that the teachers are dedicated to protecting my children against the federal government

I’m not sure how to go about promoting music moving forward. As someone who canceled their Spotify subscription and doesn’t think streaming is viable, how do I promote a single I just released where a physical version of it doesn’t exist yet? “Go stream on Spotify” seems yucky but also I’m lost

Wow I canceled my subscription just in time

boycott target starting feb 1st for rolling back their dei programs. no money for fascists.

Just canceled my Spotify subscription and damn that felt amazing

I don't know how this is going to work moving forward but I got my vasectomy 2.5 years ago while on Medicaid and it was fully covered. I live in Ohio I'd be happy to answer any and all questions (as long as they're in good faith) about the process. I don't regret a single thing.

I know we haven’t been online as much lately but just so everyone is aware: we’ve been recording new music and it’s coming out this year 😈

Work with Elaine!!! All of Crown Shy has been mastered by them!

A morally praiseworthy action you can take today is: find a band you like that you’ve never bought merch or physical media from. And spend between $10 and $30 on merch (if you are able).

If you hate your boss, your boss’s boss, the CEO where you work, or really any CEO in general, this song is for you Enjoy these small refreshments! open.spotify.com/track/1SUKmG...

GET BACK TO WORK - the next Crown Shy show is April 3rd supporting @hlagband.bsky.social & Madska on their upcoming run. Not only that but it’s with our friends in Low Spot ?? Need I say more? 📸 1&3: @kaefox.bsky.social 🎨: Blue Barnett

I downloaded old iTunes. I'm struck by how much more customizable it is than Apple Music and the rest of it. My iPod is also 17-year-old. 120GB. Works perfectly. Even got a Bluetooth adapter. No ads, no subscriptions, no tracking. Just a durable, functional device. Enshittification is real.

When I was an HR Intern in 2014 for a car dealership the CEO instructed his team to only hire pretty young girls to work as receptionists so men who came to buy his luxury cars felt even more powerful. That man was elected into the Senate representing Ohio last fall. I wonder what he’s up to

People feel weird about promoting a book or artwork they created, because their whole life they were told the lie by society that *really* the only reason to ever create art is to not starve to death on the street. Notice how people who churn out genAI monetized dogshit don't feel the same way

this song seethes with rage that most of us feel. truly biting and scathing. i bigly recommend

There’s more than 2 genders and there’s more than one way to present within each of those individual genders. It’s however you make it and it’s all valid. I’m nonbinary, I use they and he pronouns. I am here, I’m loud, and I will always be here. And you can’t take my joy away. 🖕 the US govt
