Seeing Pasifika people's projects get taken further and further along to wider audiences (or the right audience(s) it was meant for) makes me tear up inside (in a good way) 🥺☺️

This is why I’m judging yall if you post your Spotify wrapped.
Not trying to burst any bubbles; but Spotify is over.
They are airing ICE recruitment ads, the CEO has been investing in military/AI tech, they barely pay their artists; sometimes a percentage of a cent per stream, they promote “fake/AI artist” playlists, and there’s major concerns about data use.

The reduction of the middle class in the U.S., and thusly garage bands, directly correlates to the increase of gun violence. In this essay I will eviscerate...

I broke up w/ it 2022, and I LOVE Qobuz which pays artists more than any other streamer and lets you buy individual tracks and albums at various sound quality levels. Even moved my playlists over via 3rd party site.

This is also an amazing mindset to have especially in the case for undiagnosed/those who cannot afford a diagnosis. Just offer the accomodations equally, if requested or make your tests in a way that they do not need to request in the first place. The need is there.
My feeling is everyone should be given accommodations. I can't think of any accommodations I could give a disabled student that give a non-disabled student an unfair advantage. I give them all extra time and extra help if/when they need it. No one magically gets an A with extra support 🙄
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.
