Someone asked me today about my plans for the Fall and it took me a moment to realize she meant my plans for the Autumn and not the collapse of civilization.

Let’s try this again. Where you at #fediverse? Boosts welcome so we can get the best sample size.

Lorde: “Touring Has Become a Demented Struggle to Break Even or Face Debt”

This is a big problem because with the demise of CD sales and the starve-the-artist business model of music streaming, live shows have been one last remaining way for working musicians to get paid.

She doesn’t mention one big part of the problem: The cruel monopolists at TIcketmaster sucking blood out of the system.

@creatrixtiara honestly in two minds. I get why they’re there, I like them, it contributes to a safe space. But I do not see how ppl can agitate for any change if the only ppl clicking through are “the choir”.

It's funny how white people come at you like thoughtless assholes but get OFFENDED when you treat them like... thoughtless assholes.

I'm not obligated to be nice and pleasant to anyone just because. If you want my respect, act like a civilized person.

People want to have deep and probing conversations but can't the basics of human decency right.

If you want something to look forward to, Mastodon 4.0 will be released on Monday so soon enough you'll be able to translate posts and follow hashtags!

Now the way the Internet Archive is doing mastodon is how more organisations and celebs should be joining the fediverse!

They have a dedicated in house instance, which lets you identify official staff, and gives them control and security over their content, whilst also allowing people and instances to opt in or out of interacting with them

Kudos for doing it right @internetarchive!
