when I go record in a studio as opposed to DIY, ppl always trip over the time signature changes i keep having in my songs.
only realized in september that it's bc I grew up on Fiona Apple
I feel like Tia woulda got a laugh out of that

Going for 2 people to reach their goal on 24 hours, share the below! Doing extra groundwork to make that happen, she’s halfway there, share the below!

A Black Mom who lost her job a few months ago is having a hard time making rent these past few months. She does on-demand delivery to get by but had to spend on car repairs, and this month she won’t make it. If we each give $1 she’ll reach her goal. We’ve helped 158 people so far, let’s keep going.

My name is Brittany and im a single mother of a 3yr old baby girl, I lost my job back in June and started doing amazon flex to make ends meet and make last months rent but this month just seems to be more difficult.

I drive a 2002 PT cruiser and (which is on its last leg but still getting us from A to B!) But I had to replace my tie rods and that blew a chunk out of my earnings! My rent is 1250.00 but im sure I can make a portion of it before the first.

Any and all donations and prayers are greatly appreciated and thank you to everyone in advance!

Of course a former fbi agent would encourage people to get their asses beat by police. I think the tent may be too fucking big.

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

They banned Link? Link? The guy who works with a wide variety of charities and non-profits to help basically every sort of disenfranchised person I can think of? That's our bad guy now? Okay, Pontius Pilate, I see you.

Miriam @miriamboosh.bsky.social · 9d

Let me get this straight: Link, a Black user, got banned for calling out the Bluesky CEO for following a racist. That’s not a good look, especially given Bluesky’s historical treatment of Black users here on bluesky.

Due to recent trolling by the Bluesky CEO, I finally decided to try out another server - namely the myatproto.social server offered to non-Black users by Blacksky. Followed the transfer instructions below and it went fine! (Had to use my DID id instead of my username, but other than that, all good!)

Nonetheless, one news outlet – GIJN member @ayibopost.bsky.social – remains a home for those who refuse to stop reporting.

reading the quotes/replies i can see that a lot of people truly do NOT get it.

we are not talking about doing it for cuddles and memories. we are talking surviving a NOT DISTANT future under a more atrocious system than we already have.

cognitive dissonance is a helluva drug @hnysuklchocolat.blacksky.app · 16d

y'all know i'm always studying the old folks & as my stability has crumbled, i think more abt boarding houses, multi-gen homes & shared housing.

it used to be the norm & needs to return asap

but all i keep hearing in my head are my "ion want people in my house..." friends

how do we survive this?

Y'all don't know anyone's financial situation on here. Just accusing people of "begging" because you don't like them. Black unemployment is up over 7%. "We need community" but also "don't need community TOO much." Help or hush. You in the way.
