This. I switched to Apple Music a few years ago and never looked back. There’s a free tool to transfer all your playlists etc to Apple Music. Pricing/quality/library are all similar. It is SO EASY to stop using Spotify. I’m always surprised when people I like still use it. (Tidal is great too.)

I am pleased to report that I can now, after a few dozen times, listen to the song “Los Angeles” by Big Thief without choking up.

Seconded. Simply excellent story, got me sort of emotional for its unexpected hopefulness. You should read it.

Gosh, if only some world builders were, in fact, paying limited or more expansive attention to agriculture, material culture, ordinary life & how magic and the larger social structure helps or harms the ordinary people of the world, or how difficult & deadly much of the past was for so many.

Listening to Self Titled by Kae Tempest for the first time and honestly just blown away. It’s urgent and driven and it packs a punch that hits even harder because of the moment we’re in.

The cover of Kae Tempest’s album Self Titled, showing a black and white image of the back of someone’s (probably Kae) head, with short buzz cut hair. Also you should listen to this album.

They are available through every major ebook retailer. When you pay for a professionally published ebook, you're paying for the time of about six to ten generally underpaid skilled professionals. The paper and printing of a paper book are the smallest part of what goes into producing it.

Wouldn't it be nice if we were older? Then we wouldn't have to wait so long. And wouldn't it be nice to live together, in the kind of world where we belong? You know it's gonna make it that much better when we can say goodnight and stay together.

The first section of this novel is maybe my favorite piece of military SF writing ever. (The rest is also great and not as MilSF-y.) Oh fuck, I only just now noticed my name is on the cover. So… yeah, I recommend this one, I guess?

Our politics have to start there, if they're ever going to end somewhere decent. No wrong way to be a person. No kind of body that somehow exempts you from human dignity. No way to be un-personed. No disposable people.

Again this is why you talk openly about things you like and enjoyed and feel others may like as well. Stop just sharing only what you hated cos it’s easy engagement but put the effort into sharing what is good cos it does make a difference.
