Autumn 25.

You will never see a headline that says The Wealthiest will have to pay more tax instead of avoiding it. You will only ever read about cuts to pensioners, the disabled, the unemployed, keeping kids in poverty. Thatcher’s larvae the lot of them.

Labour: Become Tories to gain power - become fascists to hold onto it. 🤮🤮🤮 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

It’s quite extraordinary what’s happened to my Bandcamp sales since coming off the streamers. Since Jan 1st I’ve sold the equivalent of 180,000 streams on Spotify. In just over a week. I’d implore any indie artist or label to consider doing the same.

If artist organisations, music publications, and blogs - the lifeblood of new music, stopped using Spotify for playlists / links it would be a hell of a lot easier for artists to leave the platform. I'm no Spotify fan but some unity in the community is the way forward.

Since I took my music off Spotify, the money earned on Bandcamp is the equivalent to 550,000 streams. It has allowed me to be in direct contact to the people that support my art & music. I’m so grateful for it.

If your music is on Spotify - Spotify only exists because of you.

Spotify apologists in my feed. Urrgh.

I've i'd had a penny every time someone asked me why did I take my music off Spotify - I would have made considerable more money than having my music on there.

New release tomorrow. x

Brand new track just released by my friend @cutsmusic.bsky.social. Musically and visually brilliant as always, continuing the trend of ‘my favourite CUTS track is the newest one’. If you’re not familiar with the work of CUTS, please investigate. You will be rewarded. youtu.be/NJCqNJ_XKVM?...

Apparently this 4 track doesn’t playback correctly. It has a bit of a wobble… but how will I tell?

I need to find a hobby that doesn’t require nimble fingers & the patience of a saint.

Y'all @rudyfraser.com maintains #Blacksky mostly by himself. It costs $3000 per month, and he's adding more servers to accommodate 🐦 folk so costs are rising. Let's support him! Click the link and scroll down to make a one time donation or a recurring $7 donation. Show ♥️ to the architect!

Hi I'm Ben I have autism and I’m new to #BlueSky. I didn’t want leave X but values and political views left me no choice. I’d like to rebuild my 50k community on here. Can you please help and kindly repost this so I can meet new friends and find old ones? Thank you! 💙

Had this app for a while. My timeline is full of art, nature & ornithology. Lots of pictures of birds, sunrises, it’s a cleanser. It looks more & more like old Twitter this week with so many people getting off that hellscape. Hope this one’s skies can remain clear & blue for a good while longer.
