6.8.23 woke up thinking about summerstage sponsored by capital one, a bank that's f*cked even for banks; posted this to site & instagram // "continue reading" for text

ON

SUMMERSTAGE

SPONSORED BY

CAPITAL ONE

& OTHER BAD DREAMS

I THINK A LOT ABOUT

THE ABILITY TO DREAM

HOW IMPORTANT IT IS,

& HOW CAPITALISM F*CKS IT UP

BUT THE THING I VALUE

ISN'T LIMITED TO

DREAMS THAT ARE "GOOD"

BAD DREAMS CAN TEACH US

WHAT'S RISKED

SUMMERSTAGE IS SPONSORED BY

CAPITAL ONE, THE BANK THAT

SUES ITS CUSTOMERS THE MOST

& OVER THE SMALLEST DEBTS

GARNISHES WAGES

(EVEN THROUGHOUT 2020)

ALL THIS TWICE AS OFTEN

IN BLACK NEIGHBORHOODS

HIT HARDEST? PPL MAKING <$40K

I'VE LISTED EVENTS AT SUMMERSTAGE

(SPONSORED BY CAPITAL ONE)

& GONE TO SEE FRIENDS PLAY

MAYBE YOU HAVE TOO

LET'S TRY SOMETHING:

ENTER THE NIGHTMARE

OF FEELING CULPABLE FOR

THEIR ONGOING REIGN OF TERROR

& HAVING NO TIME LEFT

TO SAY YOU DIDN'T MEAN IT

…BUT IT'S ONLY A DREAM!

YOU CAN

SHAKE YOURSELF AWAKE

SHUDDER WITH RELIEF

THAT THERE'S STILL TIME

DECIDE

YOU MUST CHANGE YOUR LIFE

& GO ON REASSURED BY THE DEPTH

OF YOUR OWN SOBERING FEAR

YOU'RE EBENEZER

ON CHRISTMAS MORNING

YOUR LEGACY CAN BE MORE

THAN IMPLICITLY SUPPORTING

WHAT MAY BE

THE VERY WORST BANK

(CAPITAL ONE)

YOU WILL NEED TO SAY "NO"

TO SOME THINGS

BUT THAT'S THE EASY PART

JUST IMAGINE

WHAT WILL HAPPEN

WHEN WE GET SERIOUS

HOW TERRIFYING

& INCREDIBLE WE'LL BE

I WISH US ALL

CLARIFYING NIGHTMARES

ABOUT THE CHOICES WE MAKE

IN THE POISON AIR!

BE GAY

DO CRIME

MAKE NOISE
