“How can you suddenly dislike art when you find out it’s made by AI?”

For the same reason I can dislike art when I find out the employees were overworked and underpaid.

Because I care about people.

You dipshit.

Social media feeds are full of people sharing their Spotify Wrapped, but Spotify is full of ICE recruitment ads.
Cancel your subscription until Spotify stops helping ICE terrorize our communities.

"Wrapped" is the single most creative way to sell "our service collects data on you constantly and that's fun." Spotify figured that out first. They have yet to hit a second innovation that endears them to users, despite trying such tactics as "ads for ICE" and "paying musicians bupkis."

Long ago in the pre-sideshave days, @laurenshippen.com & I met on a fun D&D webseries. Lauren went on to create thrilling, heartfelt (queer!) stories in podcast, novels, & self-produced indie art I fell in love with.

Now we’re reunited! I’m proud to be Cal in Phantom Pulse. Please check it out! 🎸🖤

It's Giving Tuesday! there are a million EXTREMELY worthy causes to give to, but if you have cash to spare + want to support indie, queer, female-led art about a rock band in the 90s that exorcises ghosts with their music, you only have a few days left to do that! www.kickstarter.com/projects/aty...

Friendly reminder that striking workers are asking you not to patronize ANY Starbucks store.

If you're traveling this week, your airport definitely has other options. Zero reason to even think about crossing a picket line!

This is what dismantling pillars of authoritarianism looks like.

These companies hold up the regime—Target advances inequities, Disney enables censorship, Spotify promotes ICE, Home Depot facilitates kidnappings, and Amazon funds Trump.

Each boycott takes power from Trump—and brings it back to us.

Over the last 3 months, Home Depot’s and Spotify’s stocks have plummeted by 20%. This is what we, the people, will do to any company that sides with Trump’s fascist regime.

Target ❌
Disney ❌
Spotify ❌
Home Depot ❌

Amazon, you’re next. Learn how to take these companies down at weaintbuyingit.com.
