Patience is a Gun
On a road a pellet in a pond
Imbecile to king
Not the one you think
I see nothing
I hope it can feel seen
Undo a row alone
Stamped to travel
Son you're not from 'round here
Mulch
Gravel crunching boots
A tunnel
Hunting for the future
Bleeding at your feet

Welp have not been on socials this week and missed that this blew up.
So I want to add that ditching Spotify is not *sufficient*; musicians, workers, and creatives need to organize to challenge, probably dismantle the whole rotten platform system.
But ditching Spotify is *so easy*. It's a step 1.

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it.
So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:

Why, one might ask, does the American Right adopt aesthetics & forms of fascism if American socialism is so nascent? Here you go:
"in the right wing imagination there is a strong threatening socialism in the United States, it’s just what they call any manifestation of basic, multi-racial democracy"

When you design a chatbot to be your pal, hype you up, it will do so. It will do so. It will say anything to keep you using it. And neither the bot nor the company that made it give a shit about the harm being done. They're making money, and that's all that matters.

Homelessness in the U.S. is far more pervasive than the official figures suggest: roughly four million people are without housing right now.
Many are part of the low-wage labor force, powering the very economy that has abandoned them.
