Incredibly important read! Explains how nothing we need to support social safety nets, is monetarily out of reach.

Most of my IRL friends aren't on here and I didn't know if I would end up making any mutuals with cool strangers.

Shout out to @etherdiver.bsky.social & @mmemaledicta.bsky.social for sharing cool music, and seeming to be all around decent people.

Cancel your #Spotify today. Use those dollars to buy between 1 & 3 (or more!) albums on #BandcampFriday. Enjoy the actual, direct impact you had on someone's life. (Hell they might message you to say thanks!)

No amount of $$$ (or streams) spent on Spotify will ever change ANYTHING for the better!
