Ha! Amazing to see you post my man. How’s life in Greece?

There's a few others as well, but yeah... They look really nice in person.

Did you install it? What do you think?

More stickers soon. CrudeOiler - RIP

Going to see if I can get Desa on here to start posting all the insane shit he always capturing.

Spectacular post. Looks super cool man. California might be the last place on earth I'd ever live in again, but looks like you have a really great setup. Definitely dig what I'm seeing in those photos, so props!

Best day in pies post I've seen in a minute, thanks for sharing. Really cool to see a full glimpse into people's lives. I'll try and be better about documenting and sharing my own dumb adventures. This one reminds me of @SukiSukiNow. Where you at?

The numbers don't lie. This is the highest traffic levels we've seen in almost a decade when it all fell apart. And agreed, it's been pretty cool. I am looking forward to seeing enough traffic and posting that sections take on a life of their own. Some of these threads were like forums unto themselves. Pretty sure we'll see that again and not for nothing, but as big as some of these subcultures have gotten... Graffiti / street art / street wear / etc, it could conceivably be even bigger than before. There's far more people into those niches and subcultures than there ever was and currently, the only outlet is Instagram and Twitter. Instagram is clearly dying. They can't even hide that fact with the algorithm fuckery anymore. Twitter is outs thing and not really a very good platform for the the type of conversation we have on the forum. It'll take a bunch of hardworking and investment and perhaps luck, but not nearly as much luck as a few years ago when people were still advocating and defending Instagram. Shit sucks and pretty much everyone agrees at this point.

There's bits and pieces of news scattered throughout various treads. You can read up on a lot of it in the social media thread here and maybe the rebirth of 12oz thread here. Long story short, is I finally have business on its way to be being stabilized with 12ozCollective Screenprinting Facility, which will provide a massive strategic advantage when leveraged effectively. I've been hearing from a lot of people, including many that went all in on social media, that shit sucks and is dying so I think the time is finally right to present an alternative to it, especially niche communities like this one. We have a beta mobile app for the forum now and we have probably the biggest upgrade ever happening within the next couple weeks that will pave the way for an official mobile app I'm hoping to release this summer. In the meantime, we're using this thread to '@' key users since things are indeed picking up. Further back in this thread I posted we almost broke 1.2 million views in the last month and most of those were in the last week, which is pretty insane to me. I do feel like we're very close to hitting critical mass and this placing feeling like constant movement, traffic and posts and I'm doing all I can to also work with a lot of the OG members also in this thread to spread the news and get people logging back in. I suspect it won't be much longer before it reaches that tipping point where it builds on its own momentum. Hope you'll stop by regularly and post as well as hope us spread the news.

@dekayfastill hasn't checked in. Where you at?

Oh dang, don't recall that you were a contributor. That's even more awesome. Anyhow, hope you keep posting steadily. Fuck Instagram.

I highly recommend Montana. Wyoming and Idaho are pretty awesome as well.

Stickers soon…

Dead critters. You need to merc these things for 4 straight years to break their breeding cycle. There's literally thousands out here, digging holes everywhere, which is a very bad thing if you also happen to have horses.

Makes sense, both are chemical laden poison. (Also, cheerios doesn't lower cholesterol and that's a disingenuous claim anyways).

Probably both. He is highly intelligent, IMO and I'm not sure you can walk in his shoes and not be fucked in the head. Not sure many human beings wouldn't be when you live your life on stage with tens of thousands of people regularly chanting your name and singing your songs. But dude has been through a lot, so there's that too. Shit, myself and half the people I know aren't entirely stable and doubt we have half the trials that dude has had.

At some point yes, but right now im focused on the stuff we can produce in house at the print facility. But yeah, been a lot of requests for them. There’s still a few left in olive green and tan on the shop.

Amazing! 🏆

I had hundreds to process so apologies if it took a little while. Orders that went free also got priority. You’ll get them though.

Aphex Twin, twin or fake news?

Should have just emailed or DM’ed on Instagram. Easy enough for us ti recover accounts. Regardless, glad to see you back!
