Vaxx Restrictions are voluntary on behalf of the venue, and, are not enforced by the State of California nor recommended by the Federal CDC. Vaccinations & boosters do not protect against Covid-19 infection, nor do these halt the spread. Afflictions caused by vaccinations include rashes and SADS, therefore, individual people voluntarily forego such afflictions and remain immune to Covid-19. However, venues can choose to exclude people who remain unvaccinated, despite doing so being unjustified, and, harms their business. Feel free to remind venues to stop being fearful of just another flu-like virus, and to accept all healthy people. Fuck Pfizer!

Why does Thee Mothership Connection mostly posts Bandcamp links?
When you purchase a song on Bandcamp to support your favorite artist, you typically pay about $1. The majority of this amount goes directly to the artist, with only 15% going to Bandcamp. To achieve a similar level of support on Spotify, you would need to listen to a song approximately hundreds of times just to gift them that dollar. Keeping these figures in mind, it's worth considering the impact of your support the next time you come across a new favorite song. Have a great day
