Did you know that Spotify is airing recruitment ads for ICE? My response is shutting down my account. I hear Qobuz is a good alternative, though not quite as developed - yet. The audio quality of Qobuz is said to be superior, and they do pay artists more per stream.

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. Please repost if you agree 🌳
