LFD BLOG

well well well what do we have here? it's the actual lfd site! i know i know it is crazy but i have been working on her since psshhhhh a good damn while at least idk.

For the inaugural blog post i'd like to rehash primarily what it is we do, who i am, our beliefs, aims, etc, and secondarily give a tutorial/directory in the event that the new users of the site, which all of you are, might be aware exactly what everything does

What Is Live Fight Die?

Live Fight Die (heretoforward; LFD) is a Media Collective and Community Organization based in Upstate South Carolina focusing on multimedia art and political organization. Those are the basics and really all you need to know.

Who Is LFD?

you, me, and everyone else reading this right now, by simply visiting this place we have set our psychic hooks in you and as such have made you a member of our Collective

just kidding. Hi, I'm Avery, im the head and aesthetic director of LFD as well as the founder. i started LFD as a way to dually get my art into the world and build a better world for my art to thrive. [PREVIOUS INFORMATION HAS BEEN CLASSIFIED] Currently it is just [ME], but if you make art of any kind: music, videos, quilting, photography, what have you, or if you are informed in the world of politics then you have a shot at joining the fray

What Does LFD believe in?

you can parse our minutae in THE TOME (whenever we set that up) but for the most part we hold tendencies of common sense, dignity, logic and critical reason, superimposed on the broader "leftist" framework. our aims are simple: to live lives of dignity, fight against the superstructures holding us back, and die either with entry to valhalla or surrounded by those we love (and why not both?)

yes yes yes i was up in mountains for a couple days with my GrAunt Di and GrUncle Ricky and cousin and brother Ethan [WORDS WITHOUT MEANING MEANING WITHOUT WORDS]

We had a really fun time methinks. let me recount the tales of such an endeavor

TUESDAY

what happened tuesday was that i got hangry and pissed off and while waiting for Ethan to get ready to go up to Blue Ridge. while doing such, i coded a good portion of the site. then we got picked up and i took pictures on the way up there. we arrived at the house, spent time playing with the cats met my cousin's hyper ass dog, ate goulash for dinner (i felt much better,) and after eating said dinner set up shop in the barn in which we slept. There was very little light pollution and you could see the stars quite well, at the cost of not having any service, which i did not mind in the slightest. Ethan and Uncle Ricky played 3 13 while i watched the 5th element We got about halfway through before we went back down there to say goodnight to Aunt Di and hello to our cousin who had just got back from work, me and Ethan then went outside to feed the cats. We went back to the barn with the intention fell asleep to James Gunn's Scooby Doo, though not before watching and thoroughly, yet ironically, enjoying Tooth Fairy 2. Nuff said.

WEDNESDAY

After waking up at a solid 7:55 in the morning, I went back into the house and was tasked with putting my hands to work knocking seeds out of a sunflower Aunt Di had while she made breakfast. i put a portion of them inside of an old medicine bottle to take home; unfortunately i left them there and will have to pick them back up on my next rendezvous, not that i mind. it is always an amazing time being with my family and we have a whole winter before i am to plant anything regardless. For breakfast we had biscuits, homemade grape jelly, and grits. Appalachia has some of the best food in the world but maybe that is just nostalgia and bias (it is not.) I also got to try her homemade salsas and pickles, all of which filled me with an intense joy.
after breakfast, Uncle Ricky had to go to Greer and take his brother Randy to the store. Me and my cousin went with. On the way there we passed by my great grandmother's house and it made me sadder than i was expecting. in that moment i took a mental hour and meditated, though it was more like 5 minutes. When we picked up Randy he gave me a mounds bar which was very sweet and nice and i enjoyed it because dark chocolate is my favorite. We stopped by food lion and then Cookout where i got an oreo mint milkshake. it was kind of not minty enough (official LFD opinion.) The Final stop on our trip was to walmart in which i saw a gorgeous person who i could only assume was Like Me (read:trans) and it made me realize how hot a belly button piercing would look on me [remind me to do that to myself sometime]
When we got home it was learned that

• One, The groundhog trap Uncle Ricky had set up for the groundhogs had, instead, caught a Raccoon
• Two, Aj, my other brother, who is not related to me in any genetic or familial fashion except through my dad (who is not my genetic father but is my Dad,) was coming to pick Ethan up and go fishing

after hours of doing nothing but playing guitar, sitting around watching cooking and farming videos, and meeting my cousin's boyfriend, the boys (ie. Aj and Ethan) came back with Zero Fish. For dinner we ate chicken and rice stew. It was extravagant (read: simple but filled with love) and delightful.
At that moment of finishing our food Aj decided in that way he so often does "lets go do some dumb shit that will be fun as fuck," granted, it was, in fact, fun as fuck. After spraying myself down to avoid the mosquitos who so militaristically covet my blood, and not doing nearly a good enough job at it, we made the venture to free the lovely raccoon from her entrapment. I had a glass of sweet tea i was sipping out of; after a few good minutes of coaxing the stressed animal, being as empathetic to little critters as i am, i got her to drink the tea as i poured it through the cage. Aj and Ethan came back with food for her, though with her being a raccoon in a cage she did not have any water to wash the food with and as such did not eat.We eventually made the arduous journey to Aj's Audi, raccoon in cage and hand, wherein we rode down to the lake and let her out in the ditch. we rode back home and said our goodbyes and goodnights to Aj before we once again headed to the house.

While inside i took a three hour long cannabis sativa extract bubble bath. when i got out i said my goodnights to our folks and met up with Ethan in the barn. we simply snacked and watched The Wizard of Oz, after which i tried my best to stay up and watch Journey 2 the mysterious island

THURSDAY

Yesterday was a day of hard work. Aunt Di and Uncle Ricky had to run errands and our cousin was at work (fun fact, my cousin and sister work at the same establishment, technically nepotism but who am i to judge in this day and age) and i woke up rather early, early enough to take a benadryl and nap until 12pm, the why of which being the fact that i had been ate up by mosquitoes the night before. After my nap i had woken up to my brother telling me that we needed to get started pulling limbs and clearing bramble from the pig pen, we worked and i hauled ass and looked hot as fuck using the chainsaw. then we went home and that is what happened on our trip.

NOW

Now, i am sat at my dresser/desk eating my burgers, trying to bulk up for the winter, and writing this post. I recieved an article from one Mr Schrodinger, and as such will be posting that as the inaugural piece in THE TOME (whenever i get around to it,) but for now i bid you adieu.
