Eventually we'll all be paying for our media via a donation amount we set up to be auto distributed to creators based on the percentage of our time spent with their work, out of all the time we consumed media for that month. It will liberate creators from advertiser and business concerns and put independents on the same level as big media corporations.

But to get there, we need a fiat transfer protocol. Maybe somebody who will benefit could give them some press.

I'm on three and a half years now of ~daily music recommendation posts here. For reasons that seem less defensible all the time, I chose to organize them as a thread instead of via hashtags. Threads tend to break completely after a year of posts, so I make a new thread once a year, but even THAT kinda breaks Mastodon, so I'm thinking, I'm gonna start refreshing the thread on a six month schedule.

Year 3.5 in the thread below:

What I'm listening to today: "mode 4", StereoMan

Light, airy "intelligent jungle" from 1997, in sample-based Impulse Tracker. There's a whole hidden history behind this inaccessible to me, this musician broke out of a modscene group called N.O.I.S.E. to become Bulgaria's most successful electronic musician, this is from a collection of "mode" tracks (1 through 5) that may or may not have been released under the name "j0r0". All I know is this has irrepressible energy

I have thought about this article approximately 10,000 times since I first read it last week.

It helps to explain *so many things*. Why are the obvious lies spewed by fox news so convincing? Why do people get so mad on social media about things no one said? Why do people so readily see intelligence in chat slop?

In part, because they literally can't read. They can recognize maybe a couple hundred words, and they guess at the rest.

Wan Switi Srefidensi! 50 jaar on*afhankelijk Suriname 🇸🇷

Vandaag vieren Surinamers wereldwijd het verzet, de trots en de kracht van Surinamers, toen en nu. Want Srefidensi is geen cadeau van onderdrukkers, maar een erfenis van strijd.

De strijd voor échte onafhankelijkheid gaat door.

50 jaar on*afhankelijk

Wan Switi Srefidensi!* term gebruikt met dank aan The Black Archives

On*afhankelijkheid 

De doorwerking van het koloniale verleden is nog altijd merkbaar in het heden. 

Dit zien we bijvoorbeeld terug in dat 1 juli nog geen nationale vrije dag is, en in het onrecht dat Surinaams-Nederlandse ouderen treft door het AOW-gat.De strijd vóór 1975

Onafhankelijkheid kwam niet uit de lucht vallen. 

Het werd gedragen door generaties antikoloniale strijd. 

Van marrons en inheemse gemeenschappen die eeuwenlang weerstand boden, tot antikoloniale bewegingen in de 20e eeuw: Suriname kende altijd verzet.Srefidensi is dus geen cadeau van onderdrukkers, maar een erfenis van strijd. 

Vandaag vieren Surinamers wereldwijd het verzet, de trots en de kracht van Surinamers, toen en nu.

De strijd voor échte onafhankelijkheid gaat door.

Wan Switi Srefidensi Dey!

25 november 2025 is een belangrijke dag voor Suriname en Nederland: het is precies 50 jaar geleden dat Suriname onafhankelijk werd. Mijn ouders komen uit Suriname, maar ik ben in Nederland geboren, waardoor ik mij met beide landen verbonden voel. Ik schreef er een blog over:
