A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Twenty-five Minutes To Go


I ask you this: Is there anything the Swastika Freakshop team can’t execute perfectly and beautifully?

Happy Friday, all.

    I’d direct you to some places to read information on reclaim the swastika but you’d probably be highly unlikely to read it anyway.

    Ben: a cookie for you…

    The Tiger Lilies recorded an awesome cover of “Twenty Five Minutes To Go”.

    I’m kind of impressed with those who can suspend that long since I tend to go up multiple times for 10-20 minutes.

    I’ve read all that business about reclaiming the Swastika, and I’m sorry, I just don’t agree.

    Nice photo though, regardless of what shop it was done by.

    Please don’t start the big swastika–nazi discussion again! Trying to ban the Swastika because the National Socialists misused it is like trying to ban all types of stars, just because they are a communist symbol and the commies killed people.
