That's 25 more #Skastodon mini #zines cut and folded. The last ones went fast!

Now to get to some more shows so I can hand these out. Need to spread the word.

Hello #skastodon friends!
I'm recruiting musicians for a new Ska/Punk project in North Eastern Pennsylvania / Northern Jersey. Mostly covers of 90's Ska/Punk stuff. #aquabats #bosstones #goldfinger etc. Right now, we have a guitar and a vocalist, and me on bone. Looking for bass, drums, keys, horns.

Pls share!

Hey, #Skastodon users (and anyone else who wants to take a look).

Last week I had a bunch of Skastodon mini-zines printed up, so I can hand them out at shows and events. Here's the PDF.

Remember that Skastodon / Mastodon is all of us. This place has no reason to exist without the amazing people who post here, and the equally amazing people who federate with Skastodon.

Thanks!

Ever since getting this #Skastodon mini #zine printed up, I've been toying with the idea of doing a quick-and-dirty micro #TTRPG using the same method.

#DIY self-promotion. Advertising this #Mastodon instance by handing out mini-zines at upcoming #punk and #ska shows.

The zine includes a word search, crossword, maze, jokes page and more.

I can make the PDF available later if anyone's into that.

Just got my #supernovaskafestival tix! Any #skastodon people planning to be there?

Stayed up last night putting this business card to promote the place. Getting more people here is a pretty big goal for the rest of the year.

Fun fact: #Skastodon was predicted in the late 60s when a person named "Toots" started making #Ska, #Rocksteady and #Reggae.

While #Ska and #punk will always be the primary focus of #Skastodon, this is a space for any and all well-meaning users.

As long as you believe in #unity and #inclusion, you're welcome to call this place home.

This is a place for rudies and punks, but also for anyone else, as long as you get along with others.

And if you see harassment or intolerance, use the report function. That's what it's here for.

Thanks for being here! This place isn't anything without you!

Here are two of the finished #Skastodon #Rainbow buttons.

My button press is being a bit weird, and some of them aren't crimping properly. I'm told the paper I used might be a bit too thick.

Doing up a small batch of #rainbow #Skastodon buttons for #PrideMonth. I'm pressing 24 of the logo and 24 of the mascot.

Here's what they look like before getting cut and pressed.

Contrary to popular misconception, #Skastodon is not a #ska band that does covers of Mastodon songs.

But if such a band ever existed, that would be kind of awesome.

Do you like #ska and buttons? Do you like being part of #Skastodon? Well, have I got something for you!

Good morning #Skastodon

@MLehoux I am doing well homie. I was just thinking and maybe wanting to try and making a #skastodon patch :)

Yo for all the #ska #punk and #reggae music fans.

I found the best instance run @BrianTransplant and his #skastodon instance
