I'm glad we're leaving the era of pretending shitty ppl weren't shitty because they died. I hope we graduate to kicking their asses BEFORE they die and get away with all the heinous shit they did.

#Musicians Get. Out. Now.
Get your own channels. Utilize Bandcamp (until it sells to a problematic corp) or fire up #Faircamp to own your storefront. Or even sell direct to fans via Patreon or #Payhip. If you need help figuring it out, I got you.

Masto needs a "This Is Also Me!" button... lol
I'd been testing out a few different writing software to knock out the current book I'm working on. I paid for Scrivener, but I found it to be unnecessarily complicated after finishing my first book. It has a ton of features, but the interface is clunky and outputting formats you want (instead of it wants) is a pain in the ass.
Went to continue writing and thought I overwrote the latest version of my backup...2 weeks later...found it in the ACTUAL software I switched to. LOL

@LJ it's also depressing how many apps there are for authors trying to promote you using AI features to essentially write for you.

@sonicwalker True! I, personally, have opted to forgo streaming services altogether. I'm opting not to participate in an ecosystem that needs my art to exist, but is structured to pay everyone BUT me.
A challenge was issued and I accepted!
