'Spotify pays artists $0.003—$0.005 per stream on average.

That's like $4 per 1000 streams.

While their execs make six-to-seven-figure incomes averaging in the mid $200Ks/year and $115/hr.

To actually support your favourite artists, buy their music from their website or at a record store and you will be making a huge difference.'

I really enjoy following Mastodon people who enjoy things into which I've never really sunk my teeth.

To see their sense of freedom here is liberating and liberates me. Reading about hardship and struggles is also as it should be; we all have hard times. We all struggle.

There are no algorithms to steer me away from what enables humans to have open conversations.

Seeing other cultures than the ones I (somewhat) know is wondrous and beautiful.

I sound like a cult member. Well...

Thank you.

Is there a Mastodon instance for #TechnicalWriting?

https://writing.exchange is for all kinds of writers.

https://hachyderm.io is for tech people.

I would love to see more of a blend.

Today, We Need to Make Amazon Pay

From the United States to Bangladesh, from Germany to South Africa, Amazon will face coordinated strikes and protests today demanding that the company raises wages above inflation for all its workers and stops its union busting.

It's missile toad season, y'all.
'Wasn't my company at the time' will *surely* work in court.
