BERLIN 📕📦💌 Our goal is to build an international network for solidarity, not a New York startup. As we cross 300 members in Berlin, making it our top city for membership outside of NYC, we want to prioritize building roots for an EU outpost.

"Run III" was created in Berlin in February 2018, but it captures all the late August melancholy (as does the cover image). illuminatedpaths.bandcamp.com/track/run-iii

I'm really fond of this compilation of Indonesian artists: bersamabersuara.bandcamp.com/album/bersam... Lotta punk and metal but it spans quite a few genres.

Totally hooked on Crates app. This is how I discover and listen to music lately. It got me organising and caring more, instead of just streaming passively. Love that I can mix my local files with Bandcamp, Youtube and SoundCloud tracks! 🤟 crates.app?utm_source=b...

Going to a drag show should not mean you forfeit your anonymity. It should not open you up to surveillance. And it absolutely should not land your name in a government database. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Hang on, Guardian, I think you missed the main alternative to Spotify (which is the alternative I use) - buy your music rather than renting it, so that your favourite artists get paid: www.theguardian.com/music/2025/j...

Subcultures are dead, killed off by - amongst other things - the process of algorithmic enshittification and the almost immediate co-opting of emergent cultures for commercial gain. Sameness is everywhere. And the internet is to blame. www.drownedinsound.org/why-we-might...

The White House took down a website hosting the nation's top report on how climate change is affecting the United States.

Parasite becomes aggressive. Sure all the musicians looking at our £0.0003 Spotify payouts for our work are delighted this is what our fans’ money went towards instead, and the fans equally pleased. Artists are always very in favour of war, traditionally.
