As you’re scrolling, you may notice a lack of stories about Will Smith, Chris Rock, and Jada Pinkett Smith this week. This is not to say that I didn’t read any takes or essays about it — I’m sure you all have too.

Ideally, smart artist/human-minded people will start making some more momentum towards coming up with a better/fairer streaming model (here’s my contribution to the dialogue), BUT, for now, us appreciators of creativity/good things need to start doing a better job of being a bit more mindful of making sure we’re continuing to show direct support to the creation of good things. And Bandcamp is still one of the best online places going for intentionally & directly supporting the makers of the music you like (and then you get to carry around your BC music collection in your pocket). Also… just spreading the news about what others are doing is a form of given labour/support, and it doesn’t take too much clicking around & digging into
