@newfeelingcoop.bsky.social w/ great points on precarity and gig platforms.

"But for things to change, we have to imagine more than hermit crabbing from one platform to the next: we have to resist the ways our work is becoming individualized in the first place."

Don't Start Another Substack

Thanks to Del Cowie and @invisibooks.bsky.social for recognizing our work on their "Best Canadian Music Writing 2025" list.

It always means so much to our small, scrappy publication to be featured alongside legacy media.

"Substack and similar services expanded because layoffs and consolidation created a vacuum. What appeared to be freedom often isolated workers with the same risks and bills that newsrooms once shared."
In this piece from our latest issue, @therewasnosound.bsky.social unpacks how the ‘independence’ platforms like Substack offer is a individualized survival strategy and business model that ultimately isolates workers and undermines worker power.

Little Stone Crow's version of Sunset Valley may be fictional, but it’s tied to real feelings of scrutiny and displacement in arts spaces and everyday life. @therewasnosound.bsky.social spoke w/ the Mi’kmaw rapper in our latest issue:
