If you use Spotify not only does your money not support musicians and pay for AI military weapons, but now it also goes to supporting a platform that runs ICE ads!

Maybe you should all STOP. Like right now. STOP USING SPOTIFY. STOP

It was time to stop 5 years ago. It is *REALLY REALLY TIME NOW*

Spotify responded that the ads do not violate its policies.

You must love this drink, I've decided now! 🎵

Colourful illustration of Hatsune Miku in the style of a print ad for 'PoPiPo - Vegetable Juice', inspired by the Lamaze-P song. The Kagamines, Meiko, Gakupo and Kaito are around her, enjoying the drink (or proud of farming it, in Kaito's case)

The text reads up top reads "It costs just 200 yen!" and below reads
"Popipo! Mellow and Creamy Vegetable Juice. Fresh from Sapporo, Japan!"

Same here, I think the constant algo changes on every platform is such a big problem alongside our unstable economy. Having a business right now is on hardmode 🥲

I can still be here right now because of having built a small nest egg of business savings to account for famine times as well as having a traditionally employed partner.

I have a 20 year old car, I wear my clothes until they fall apart, our apartment leaks, and the savings are draining.

It's hard to be this vulnerable online, but I feel like the bucket of cold water is extremely necessary to understand how exhausted we all are.

We've lost and rebuilt our audiences a dozen times, pivoted, weathered storms, added additional streams of revenue, and the sisyphus boulder gets heavier.

This is not a call for pity but more to put into perspective how 2025 has been impacting a lot of artists:

Between losses of sales, wholesale, tariffs, and fewer corporate clients, I have lost 50% of my gross income this year as a full-time graphic designer and artist.

A color illustration of a dragonkin/tiefling woman with deep blue skin, closed eyes, tall curved horns with a glowing crescent moon between them, and long wavy hair going from indigo at the top to pale gold at the ends. She is dressed in an indigo gown with lots of gold trim and accessories and sheer blue accent cloth. She is holding a large golden greatsword with blue roses and purple thorns around the guard. The background is an art nouveau-style circular graphic of gold celestial motifs on a black to maroon gradient.

A color illustration of a dragonkin/tiefling woman with teal skin, darker turquoise hair in a braid, closed eyes, and a long tail.

The background is an art nouveau-style panel of stylized grass, lotuses, and clouds on a sunset gradient.

A color illustration of a gorgon woman with light and darker green skin/scales, long dark green cobra hair separated by narrow horns, and a long tapered tail.

The idea of the IDF using royalty free assets (meant to help artists build out scenes for concept art etc) for genocide is so sickening.
