Soundcloud Alternatives 

Right now, Audius and Metapop seems to be good alternatives to migrate to. Here I am in those platforms:

Soundcloud, peak capitalism 

So the 3 hour limit is being reduced to 15 tracks for free users. They say "or 3 hours" but realistically who the fuck uploads nothing but 12 minute songs? Effectively reducing your ability to upload to the site, and if you already had over 15 tracks on the site, they're bending you over to squeeze more money out of you, just so you can keep uploading.

Fuck those greedy pigs with a rake. Stop using Soundcloud

I know I will get better at music instruments...eventually.

So here's a mood: Acquiring a music keyboard and instantly diving head-first into 6/9 and minor 9 chords, forgetting that I am JUST starting out on this instrument. Doing decently anyways.

Birdsite mention, white people 

I had to save this image even if I never use it because it's a whole damn mood I'm always in. Especially if I'm looking at birdsite.

I made the warning from a ❗ into some crosshairs that sort of resemble the ones from Yoshi's Island, which is probably where I got most of the idea anyway.

I think they look a lot better, or at least more noticeable.

I do need to be careful moving forward, I need to resist the temptation to ignore those flaws. We are all flawed, after all, how we choose to carry ourselves, then, is our choice, and ours only to make. Therefore, any harm they incur within their vicinity is their responsibility to take, and my responsibility, as a friend to hold them to it.

If there is one thing about me that often gets exploited, it's my immense capacity to look past people's flaws and see the good in them.

It hurts to think about how many of my former friends within AltFurry, and even leftists groups from a past era could have been so much better people, if they could just recognize and bring out their best, instead of hiding in fear and indulging in their darkest most primal desires.

Believe it or now, a lot of them are capable of love, they just chose not to.

Heartache, subtoot (-) 

I miss you Eden Possum, I just wish you could ditch the white fragility bullshit and leave the hate behind.

Despite all that happened between us, there is still a spot in my heart reserved for you, dear sibling.

this week's shadowrun session:
Our sniper tries to rob a prepper's gun store

I met a homeless woman working as a cashier at dollar general 

my wife and I went to the dollar store to get some snacks for a movie, and the cashier told us about how new stores are opening up in the city with a higher minimum wage, when they wont even raise the wage for the store she works at.

She makes $7.25 an hour and lives in her van. One of her windows is completely busted up, so she has to sleep like that during the winter, with no heat because she couldn't pay for gas. By the time she gets her paycheck at the end of the week, she'll have $6 to her name, because everything else goes to car payments and groceries.

I am so fucking mad. I'm going to look for resources for her. I can't do much, but I can do something.

If any of you have ideas for ways to help her (and others like her), please let me know. Either for unionizing, or financial aid, or whathaveyou.

just won today's ashens quiz on twitch, having a photographic memory pays off!

just to add something specific bc an "activist" that i thought about while making this post did this to me/my partner but

"activists" that mock marginalized groups for identifying outside of the binary are not activists

activists:

"activists": believing everything they hear without actually doing research/looking into things. cater to mob mentality. ostracize marginalized folks for no reason w no basis other than they don't like them. pretends to be accepting but continues upholding white supremacy with their performative fakewoke bullshit. still holds biases. still perpetuates stigmas.
