Arnold Franks passed away recently, and his headstone finalized his grave today. He was my best friend. Arnold took down a beagle, and I will never stop telling the story. I’m thankful to my parents, brother, and all my friends for the support.
Grab a hat as a constant reminder that you are capable even when:
1- There is no motivation 🫠
2- You have self doubt 🤔
3- There’s no time to keep up 🕕
4- Doubt overshadows confidence 🌨️
5- The day is winning, but you refuse to quit 💪#adulting #grownassman #hats #merch #diy
We pulled it off you guys!
Shoes were gazed and cabs were driven
There were a few setbacks for this show at first, but thanks to everyone at @darnrascalbooking and specially @_maxfranks for helping me set all of this up and for not giving up when we were about to.
With that being said
We raised 600 dollars which we made an even split donation to @aclusc and @americangateways
which all I can say Is thank you for showing up and not only supporting live music also supporting this cause I not only believe in but also sympathize the most with.
now while i couldn’t be happier that this money is going to a great cause it’s definitely not enough and that’s where you come in
go to protests, inform people, fuck with ice, anything you think will be helpful is more than enough you dont have to make a huge donation or anything
America was built on immigration we are taught that we are a melting pot of cultures but yet we alienate and discriminate people who come here looking for better opportunities and actively contribute to our workforce
We aren’t some “plague” we need to get rid off and don’t ever let anyone refer to another human like that because we are people and if you know about history you can draw alot of parallels to certain other events and it’s honestly really fucked up
So I ask for you all to at least be aware that this is happening in this country right now and it’s a huge issue where people are being treated like basically some plague and many of them are citizens and legal but still treated like this because of all the efforts to alienate immigrants.
thank you for reading all of this and I’m sure if we all come together we will be able to make a difference even a small one.
Love you all
