Cripple Punk Network

Introducing: The Cripple Punk Network. A Mission/Vision Statement 🧵:

Which means some education is in order. But we have a long list of things to cover so please be patient. That being said… what do you wish there was more knowledge about?

Some of y’all don’t know what accommodations or true access means and it’s making the timeline feel really bleak…

@tenmosummerband Isn’t that just called networking? I mean not an expert or anything but… This sounds like a common decency thing. Maybe I too am old

call me supah old fashioned but i do think whether you’re a band or an agent, and you ask another band if they’d play a show/give you other bands recs, tossing a teeny follow is a nice lil courtesy. you already had to click a few times to message us, what’s one more?

🧵/4 The End… For Now :)

Big Post Incoming

@tofeelhealed Just said this then saw this tweet. Honestly? Also applies here. Band who is outspoken in music and on stage decides to be outspoken in social media post. Alert the media 🙄🙄🙄 New day, same old bullshit from people who are too afraid to pit offline x.com/cripplepunknet…

i just know dorks aren’t going to shows if a band that are very vocal in supporting the lgbt+ community and regularly have flags on stage got people crying in the comments of a pride post

Music has always inherently been political; and that’s a broad statement, not just referring to punk and its subgenres. This is not new. This has been tradition since the first notes were discovered.

Breaking News: Pop PUNK band writes music with punk ethos. Alarm the media /s

Time to get LOUD.

We’re going to make a REALLY long thread tomorrow full of graphics. Which means a lot of alt text is going to be written. So y’all better read it & share it & give us a follow if you’re ready to get Cripple Punk’d (make the scene accessible)

@scenequeenrocks 👀

I’d hate if the US Scene Queen fans got a surprise next week

Cripple Punks like us live reckless & fast with no time for regret. We crowdsurf. We mosh. We race for barrier. We take up space because we are human. Just like disability, queer rights are human rights. Intersectionality matters. Let’s make pride accessible!

Who else started their day listening to @BEARTOOTHband? It’s a BEAUTIFUL day to listen to Beartooth and be your full free self. Happy Pride! Don’t just “might” love yourself. Fully love yourself. Live fast with no time for regret. Be Free.

this is what happens when ben and i catch people being homophobic and transphobic year round

@ptchwrk_love us 🤝 @ASITISofficial ready to fight homophobes on a moments notice 🫡

if your homophobic and transphobic and think you have a space here, i'm going to beat you with my crutches

i hope every homophobe and transphobe finds out their favourite band is totally for the theys and gays today

@ASITISofficial Thank you for being for us theys & gays. Intersectionality matters and we love a band that fights side by side with us 🌈🤘🏻🖤

happy pride month! in a time where it feels like there’s more division, hateful rhetoric & less acceptance than ever it’s important to shout that you are loved and valid. big love to all the gay, trans and queer people in my phone and at our shows. you always have a home here 🖤
