Built from the belief that the music industry no longer serves artists or listeners, Mirlo is pushing for a radical, federated, and decentralized reimagining of how music is shared online. diyconspiracy.net/mirlo-interv...

🏺🫶🇵🇸 Potters for Palestine is currently having an online auction to support funding for mutual aid groups, on the ground in Gaza. Such amazing work to chose from...and for a great cause! pottersforpalestine.com/collections/...

We recently shared the news that we're federating Mirlo. Check our blog this coming Monday (10th Nov) for more info on what we plan to do! 🖊️🐦‍⬛ mirlo.space/team/posts

DON’T STOP AMPLIFYING PALESTINIAN VOICES.

📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms). It’s also concerning. 1/

Music is an ecosystem and no single space will ever solve the multitude of issues within the music industry, but we, along with lots of other friends making alternatives, have been building useful tools for musicians, labels and listeners since 2023. What exists beyond streaming? Let's find out. 🌕🐦‍⬛

Some news from Mohammed Shobair! He’s currently in Khan Yunis with his cousin, they’re gauging how the whole family could move there and pitch tents. Answer: it’s not really feasible, but there’s no choice. If you got your August pay check and you’d like to help: chuffed.org/project/mohs...

I've been working on this with a group of leftist friends from all over the world. A more radical experiment and a militant take on what a truly independent grassroot music platform could be. It's a long shot, it's an uphill battle, but we have to try.

If you’re buying music on Bandcamp Friday today, have a look at which artists are donating to the Palestinian Red Crescent. There are quite a few. Like my girl Colleen colleencolleen.bandcamp.com/album/specia...

If you ask me what I would do if I survived the Gaza genocide, I tell you that I would have a room with all the musical instruments I love. I wake up, eat my breakfast, and then stay in this room until the end of the day.Then eat dinner and go sleep. No one understand me and my pain except this room

This story is updated. I stand by my reporting on this and throughout the past years. Our ability to make music depends on safe spaces. cdm.link/no-more-musi...

Kneecap is not the story. Genocide in Gaza is.

github.com/GhislainGir/BlenderGameToolsDoc/wiki I’ve released a 150-page wiki for my Blender addon. The addon is currently available in early access on my Patreon for a limited time, to gather feedback, fix bugs, and more :)

We've been thinking about how we can make it so that all the people who have been helping us along the way have a say in the project and the product we're building. Here's what we've come up with. 📋🐦‍⬛ mirlo.space/team/posts/2... #Community #Coops #Music #Mirlo #Blog #Blogs

IF YOU CAN BELIEVE IT, IT'S FRIDAY ONCE AGAIN!

Last remaining hours to support this incredible crowdfunding project. It's already managed to pass its goal. Developing games from inside the West Bank is not a small challenge. (You should also play their first game, shown here in Berlin at A MAZE.)

Not an easy thing to do, wishing a "happy new year" in 2025. I usually take a much needed deep breath around that time of year, to reassess myself and the world around me, be thankful of the people I'm lucky enough to share moments of my life with.

End of year lists, #BandcampFriday, it can all be too much. So if you do nothing else today, support these two compilations, have a look at the urgently needed aid efforts they're supporting, and listen in on the new Mutual Aid Podcast.

www.twitch.tv/itstennyy Going LIVE for the last day of PART ONE of the 12 Days of December Palestine Donothon! Join us for some overwatch, spooks, dragon age, and more<3 grab a comfy blanket, some hot tea and get in here. Sharing this event is helpful even if you can't donate!

On November 29-30, 2024, a coalition of independent presses, poets, writers, and translators will hold a 24-hour Global Reading for Freedom of Expression & Solidarity with Palestine and Lebanon. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxJN...
