It's here. It's tonight. It's happening. AhhhhH!! ⚡️🖤🤘

🎶 Note: Typical DJ guidelines at DYOS are to play 50+% music by people of color, 25+% q***r artists. That uhhhh will NOT be the case tonight 😂 Expect a Warped Tour level of toxic white men throughout the night! For the memz

Help, I can't stop planning events that I want to go to 👀
