“Rents in Montreal went up by an average of 7.7 per cent in 2023, according to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, even though the TAL's recommended rental increase was much lower than that. Rent climbed even higher — by 10 per cent — in units with a new tenant.”

i want more people in music to be committed to this sort of long game. lack of archival interest/foresight/infrastructure is one of our biggest weaknesses in our fight against the various manifestations of platform capitalism.

i found this SO inspiring. i wish more people in music treated their work like a sort of archivism. record labels are century-scale storage!

finally tried out faircamp, essentially a self hosted bandcamp, with fewer features. i like it so far and think i'll commit to using it to serve streams/downloads for now. it's in alpha tho so would only recommend if you're already running your own website and not afraid of basic command line stuff

people responding to this like “what is an alternative to substack?” as though substack invented websites or newsletters. there are MANY and I can’t think of any of them that are anywhere close as expensive to substack to use

in 2022, we wrote “i90” believing we’d soon see a day when the trans community would be forced into hiding by a repressive regime. we wrote it for our trans siblings, to give them — and us — a comfort in that trying time. if you need something to get you through this: youtu.be/igNnqBOxlLQ?...
