#SpotifyAlternatives

One new streaming option we're keeping a keen eye on is Subvert.fm

We're very curious around the artist led co-op model they exploring.

Check the project out here, and if u have the means get behind initiatives like this.

Ps. We're still in the test and assess stage internally, so arent yet recommending this as we havent given it a proper look over, but would love others around to help us 'kick the tires' sorta thing.

My comradery project: https://comradery.co/reshapingreality

Had my meet with the comradery #WorkerCollective today as part of their onboarding. So far, they've been really #accessible and exactly what I'd hoped for. Very Leftist and focused on people not profits. whew.

Public posts on the comradery will also go on my wordpress blog. But supporter only posts will explore my original fiction and art. Due to my poor health, it'll be updated sporadically. Money will go to paying healthcare/housing expenses.

Today in Labor History April 10, 1997: Exotic dancers at San Francisco’s Lusty Lady, ratified their first-ever union contract. Thus they became the first successfully unionized sex business. (Pacers, in San Diego, had unionized a few years earlier. However, they had an open shop, allowing management to recruit new, non-union employees. Consequently, they were able to decertify the union.) Lusty Lady later became a worker-owned cooperative and a member of NoBAWC (the network of Bay Area Workers Collectives), a program initiated by the Bay Area IWW.

For a great book on the struggle to organize Lusty Lady, please see Jenny Worley’s “Neon Girls: A Stripper’s Education in Protest and Power.”

Say you wanted to spin up an internationalist, remote-first, tech-worker collective, but then you think about bureaucracy and The Fear stops you in your tracks.

Is there a procedural, flow-chart like resource out there?
