The Pack Music Co-op

Here’s something wild: musicians now make more money from crowdfunding than streaming.

Why? Because platforms like Spotify pay them so little, they have to ask fans for money just to get by (and so do we).

😡 That’s not a business model. That’s exploitation.

💡 Let’s build a system where musicians don’t have to beg to survive. Let’s make fair streaming a reality. crowdfunding.startsomegood.com

Dollars vote. Be careful who you support. The NAACP has long used boycotts, and they have a short list to avoid now due to rollback of DEI. Let's all work together, ok?

NAACP's Boycott List:
Google (all google services, google pixel phones, everything)
Meta (facebook, instagram, threads, WhatsAp)
McDonalds
Walmart
Tractor Supply
Target
**My additions below:
Amazon
Ford
Toyota
Nissan
John Deer
Harley Davidson
Lowes
Jack Daniels
X/twitter

SUPPORT THESE PLACES KEEPING DEI!
Subaru
Costco
Publix
Kroger
Fred Meyer (and other sub co's)
Burger King
Popeyes
Tim Hortons
ACE Hardware
True Value
84 Lumber
Harbor Freight
Delta Airlines
Ben & Jerry's
Apple (on NAACP's list, I have issues with apple in other areas though.)

My first post about this: flipping.rocks/@sunguramy/1140

I'll get back to photography someday I promise, sorry it's been more information lately on my page, but I want to promote helpful knowledge of easy things to do to help.

Boston/Cambridge/Somerville peeps:

If you need a futon, or anything futon-adjacent, I want to give a HUGE shout out to Bedworks in Central Square.

Yes, I'm sure you already know about them and I know they've been there forever and I know they're practically an institution (I think I bought my first futon couch from them in the 80s?)...

but it was just *such* a lovely experience to go in and buy something local and spend the time having a lovely extended conversation with the staff person there (wish I'd gotten his name!)

www.linkedin.com#europeantech #cloud #digitalsovereignty #executivesearch #gdpr #buylocal | Jurriaan GraaffLet’s back our own EU Tech industry. At & The Big Fish, we’re exploring a move to European IT solutions, like; • TUXEDO OS (instead of Windows) • ONLYOFFICE (instead of Microsoft Office) • Nextcloud Hub, EU-hosted (instead of Google Drive) Admittedly a bit opportunistic and I know large organizations can’t pivot like this easily. But SMEs and startups can! Using this stack or joining this movement?
