Our New Year's resolution for 2026 is to help 1,000+ artists get off Spotify! Care to join us? Fill out the form in our bio / get in touch with us at scenesoffspotify[at]proton[dot]me 🥂🥳

Spotify doesn’t care about the negative impact it has on the music industry.

i am once again asking that all bands please for the love of god post an Email address on your artist page so people can actually contact you

The weather isn't stopping us from bringing the noise to our picket. And Chicago, we're just getting started💪 #NoContractNoCoffee

Announcing: Scenes Off Spotify! We are a group of independent musicians & organizers working together to help bands & local communities fully divest from Spotify. We want you to be involved! Please fill out our Interest Form: airtable.com/appzA1llxnr6... Together, we can hold Spotify accountable!

it amazes me that "influencers" who accept $ from Suno & other AI startups are surprised when their fans turn on them in the comments. real people want music made by other real people. this bubble will burst and i am looking fwd to it

tonight in philly 🌿 @izzytrue.com band plays at @ Nikki Lopez w/ Eliza Niemi, @waaxgiirl.bsky.social & Pleasure Dome

things i learned today: * lemons are not naturally occurring * people who speak portuguese can understand spanish speakers but not vice versa * minute hands did not exist on clocks until 1577

feeling close to fully divesting from Google! some recommendations (u probably know about): * Cryptpad docs & spreadsheets are very good, and you can pretty easily save and import any of these from Google * Proton obviously does good email, but also has drive/docs. Docs are less good, but usable

super easy action to take this weekend: CART JAM docs.google.com/document/d/e...

Fuck. This. Shit.

Hundreds of Starbucks baristas and labor organizers blockaded Starbucks' largest distribution center in York, Pennsylvania, halting distribution of syrups, coffee beans, and other supplies to the entire northeast. This escalation is part of @sbworkersunited.org's ongoing strike.

i've said it once and i'll say it again: fuuuuuck the criminal entity known as the Philadelphia Parking Authority

one thing i particularly dislike is when a ticketing platform makes me download an app to attend a show

BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting. If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.

As y'all have probably heard, there has been a lot of ICE activity on the North Side of Chicago today. At least four people were kidnapped by ICE in the Rogers Park neighborhood. Folks mobilized throughout the day to do ICE Watch and Rapid Response work.

Starbucks is a multi-billion dollar company. Their CEO made 6,666x what the average barista made last year. It’s time for them to get serious, finish negotiating a strong union contract and invest in @sbworkersunited.org baristas who power their profits.

A man caged by ICE was found dead in his cell inside a Long Island jail 18 hours after arriving there.
