Difficult Art And Music @difficultart.bsky.social · 1d

so @meansmagazine.bsky.social is including a mail-order catalogue in its next issue. I'm hoping a bunch of labels might want to print lists of their music/stuff to sell, a means of avoiding the capitalist platforms for a bit.

What labels should we try to convince to get involved?
