@thestustustudio Hampshire alumni here! Hampshire ranks among top US colleges for alums who go on to earn doctorates: it was in the top 1.4% of colleges nationwide where alums earn the most advanced degree in their field. There is a LOT to rip on Hampshire about but academic rigor isn’t it.

Today @desertdracula gave a very beautiful speech about being full people in activism - a core idea not only in disability advocacy but in advocacy more broadly.

If you're interested in these ideas, I really recommend Pleasure Activism by adrienne maree brown #LongCovid 1/

Latest update on the Bandcamp employees' unionizing effort

Rather than come out in support, or acknowledge their employees' legal rights, the top brass chose instead to hire this famous union-busting legal firm right out of the gate https://t.co/TOz1nQ7LrE

If money is our banks doesn't actually mean it's safe, what's next, my spotify subscription $ not actually paying any artists I listen to??

[Damon K 🎤 @dada_drummer]

Today, Spotify announced more payola and no more pay than before ($0.0030 a stream). It will also now look more like TikTok - meaning without bribing them for placement in the algorithm’s vertical feed, artists will have even less of a chance of making this platform work for them

[Ludovic Parsons @vicparsons_]

to reiterate: trans and non-binary people have been trying to raise the alarm about the transphobes wanting to wipe us out for years

so my question, if the CPAC speech seemed shocking or like it went too far to you, is: What are you going to do about it?

[Dave. @UnwantedGuest3]

There was cognitive function collapse:

Where there were names, places, words and faces before, there was now nothing.

Big yawning black holes of nothing.

No recall.

No memory.

No context.

I cannot describe how utterly petrifying this was.
