they saw this tiny band that was getting hype, noticed that they were all broke and starving, and whipped out the world's most fucked up contract in their faces. your creativity in exchange for like, fucking medical and a salary. you forget that they're all disabled (apart from ray afaik)... they were also poor, borderline homeless new jersey punks. of course they signed. anybody would.

the fans have no idea how much warner is to blame for these ticket prices, not just ticketmaster. this isn't the band being greedy. they're not greedy people. their normal clothes (which are repeated almost every show) are falling apart on b stage, they play budget brand guitars (edit: or gifted/out of production models, which are fine too), they don't go on bougie vacations or show off luxury goods on social media, they go to museums and parks. they even fly on public planes instead of a private jet. gerard has netflix/dark horse money, yeah, but they only really seem to spend it on books, art supplies, decent luggage, and a few nicer wardrobe items they repeatedly use until they wear out. so it cannot be THAT profitable for the band.

pancakes or waffles? :D

Just so you're aware this is what Mikey looked like while actively dealing ILLEGAL, yes, ILLEGAL DVDs and video tapes. Look at his smug smirk

2. I am not afraid to walk this world alone

3. Honey if you stay I’ll be forgiven

If you are getting gender affirming surgery, especially if it’s your first major surgery, PLEASE be aware that you can become SEVERELY depressed afterwards ESPECIALLY if you have a history of depression or suicidal ideation.

Post op depression is a natural reaction to the crazy mix of hormones your body goes through after major surgery as well as the stress and anxiety of recovery. Think of it like an adrenaline crash, but dragged out longer.

For me it kicked in about 6 weeks after top surgery and the worst of it lasted until about 10 weeks post op. EVERYTHING felt IMPOSSIBLE. None of the skills I’d been practicing worked. I thought everything was going to be bad forever. I didn’t attempt, but I was in the hospital. If it wasn’t for my support system I probably would have attempted.

This is not regret, but it can feel like it. I remain happy about my results to this day (going on six years later).

This is not you failing to maintain your mental health, but it can make you feel like a failure.

Things are not hopeless, but through the haze of this depression they can feel hopeless.

It can be terrifyingly sudden or it can sneak up on you. I didn’t even realize what was going on until after the depression finally passed and my mental health went back to normal.

I am writing this post because nobody told me about this before my top surgery. I was caught completely off guard. For my subsequent surgeries being aware has made all the difference. Being able to treat those symptoms as an expected and normal part of the healing journey has made them far easier to deal with. Because even when my emotions go to dark places I *know* they will pass. I have been able to tell the bad thoughts to take a bad seat and focus on healing.
