Friends, this is a low hanging boycott action.
Similar to Hulu and Disney+ actions.
You can help turn the tide and it will make other platforms think twice.

Spotify is helping ICE recruit more agents to infringe our rights and terrorize our communities. Stop paying for or using the app until Spotify stops running ads for ICE: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify?source=bluesky

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

I want people to displace the imaginary depictions of *revolutions* that they have come to create in their heads with the actual small revolutionary acts that happen daily. We might get closer to revolution that way.

Today would be a great day to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks, don't you think?
A week before he voted to cut Medicaid, Republican Congressman Rob Bresnahan dumped up to $130,000 worth of stock in four companies that manage nearly half of all Medicaid enrollees in the country.

One of the best things to recognise in yourself as a creative person is when you are Sauceless.
Not art blocked. Not struggling with a difficult creative problem.
Being Sauceless is when you've done good work but have been staring at it for too long, and risk making it worse through noodling.
