What is my problem?. Why do I keep trying to use Threads and Twitter. I must have some deep seeded sickness.

I get people asking me, what my favorite Ska is. Well I grew up in the 70s with punk. I listened to a lot of Two Tone era Ska. But I think some of my faves are Third Wave Ska in the 90s.

To all new users coming in from FB: 1) Be a decent human being. 2) Trans women are women, trans men are men, nonbinary people are valid. 3) Block immediately and whenever you need to. 4) For real, just be a decent human being. It's not that hard.

I tend to post a lot of newer Ska, but I know the roots and we have to give props to them too. LAURAL Aitkin is definitely a fave of mine and he should be yours too. youtu.be/ZQhdHRd3-UE?...
