How to quit Spotify This Black Friday, here's a guide to finding the best Spotify alternative

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it.

So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:

Attempting to design my 2nd granny square - I need to figure out the math behind the increases but I think for a first attempt this came out pretty ok! #crochet #grannysquares #designingpatterns

"Wisteria" 7-dice sets (full pink or purple) and duality D12 sets (pink and purple) will be available when our shop updates this Saturday, December 13th, at 12pm ET!

Over the weekend I've finally watched through Rings of Power on prime.

Just started the last ep of s2 and i'm BAWLING

And this lil cartoon guy - A gingerbread knight

Meantime… here’s some art I did this weekend. A prompted redraw of an artober OC illustration from 2020.

— do a lot of my own marketing and social media promo which I just don’t have the time or energy for.
I might try eBay.
I’m also massively restricted by postage costs. I can’t sell to EU without a sponsor, postage elsewhere costs half a mortgage… I don’t know what to do anymore. I feel worthless.

If anyone knows of a way to sell handmade goods online please let me know.
Etsys fees are too steep (20p per listing, renewal needed every 4 months)
Sites like shopify, kofi, making a website with a shop via something like square space don’t have any kind of discovery features so I’d need to —

I hoped I could make a little pocket money for myself since my hand pain stops me from making the number of items I’d need for the likes of Etsy or a market, I can’t work anymore (cus of chronic pain) so I thought hey if they’re able to sell these things, maybe I can list my little pouches. NOPE.

but there’s literally hundreds of sellers on the same app selling multiple items of multiple colours clearly stating that they are handmade and even some are promoting custom packaging or freebie stickers.

Accounts like these gave me the idea to try selling some crochet makes in the first place 2/3

Getting beyond annoyed. Twice now I’ve been threatened with a ban on a popular 2nd hand selling app for listing crochet items I’ve made which — FAIR ENOUGH — I *NOW* KNOW ITS AGAINST THEIR TOS to sell “commercially” on a standard profile type (1/3)

we're getting our own beautiful orange babies soon, yes? Yes. Good.

This is a whole mood!!

1 Nurse: It’s become a real problem in this area 2 Nurse: We’ve seen the whole community lost to addiction 3 Show a building sign posted: Westminster ‘X’ Addiction Clinic With various Westminster people or looking at their phones outside it Nurse: Ministers, Spads, Researchers… 4 Nurse: Most mornings we’ll get a call about someone acting strangely [Nurse on phone taking a call] Ok - we’ll be right over 5 Nurse: We just have a gentle chat [Nurses approach a minister –Robert Jenrick? - standing in the Palace of Westminster Minister: I understand your concerns… 6 Nurse: Are you OK love? Minister: Yes I’m just hearing legitimate concerns from real voters 7 Nurse: That’s a robot, a Nazi and a poorly-disguised Russian [Show that the people he is talking to are precisely these characters] Nurse 2: Give us your phone, love 8 Nurse: At the clinic we put them in a Grass-Touching Pod, with a real voter to talk to [We see them back at the clinic, holding the minister's head and pushing him into a glass isolation booth with a grass floor. And it is a baffled looking woman, on a chair, ready to talk to him.] 9 Minister: YOU MUST BE WORRIED ABOUT THE COMING CIVIL WAR [woman looks baffled] 10 woman: I just want a bus service Minister: LOOK AT MY FLAG [produces a St George's flag] [ends]

Just finished watching #ThePower on amazon prime video - absolute wild flip that the auto-play suggested "The Summer I Turned Pretty" to watch next.

All of my attacks for #artfight2025! If anyone I attacked this year would like higher resolution versions of these pieces please shoot me a dm on discord!

Hope everyone had a great artfight! My first, but far from only. I had a great time but didn't get to do a lot of the attacks I had on my list. I've instead been following all the artists that inspired me this month! Here are the attacks I did manage! artfight.net/~arieschaos/...

If you see this, post a vampire!

Picture of Carmilla, Carmine's black cat, lying on her back in a C shape with her crappy little vampire teeth sticking out over her lips

Photo of Carmine's black cat Carmilla rolling around on the bed yawning with her mouth wide open and all her evil little teeth showing.

Carmilla sitting next to a sign that says "Warning: Vampire parking only. Violators will be bitten." She is screaming at the top of her lungs to be fed and once again, all of her shitty murderteeth are showing.

Carmilla curled up in Carmine's red armchair. She is a small black cat with yellow eyes, round cheeks, and a crystal collar.

Sending my favorite demon familiar to the animal ER today, where the doctor will sift through her insides for GI tract blockages, since she's not eaten in four days despite all our medications and treatments and spiked an astronomical and persistent fever yesterday.

Wish Carmilla luck. 🥲

Hey artists! QRP with your sketch vs final! ✨#PlumyArt
